  • Seasonal Depression

    I went to my monthly counseling appointment this afternoon. I mentioned that I was worried about falling under seasonal depression. He knows that I am an evening and night person so he wasn’t sure if it was more or less likely compared to someone who functions best in the morning and afternoon. He looked it…

  • Sacrament Dream

    This morning after changing a diaper and falling back to sleep in real life, I dreamed that I was in Sacrament Meeting and falling asleep there. I was leaning against another brother who didn’t seem to mind. When I woke up I was playing a racing game on my cellphone, but I had to stop…

  • Trying to Relax

    I’ve been ornery since being up for 36 hours. I’ve been sleeping more than usual. Stephanie is worried that I’m sick or depressed or both. The possibility exists of course but one of my psych meds is a mood stabilizer and has been effective against falling too low for several years. I’ve also got an…

  • Weak

    I like to remind myself that everything “down there” works because in some ways I’m not much of a man in other ways. I’m weak. Maybe I always have been and am only becoming reconciled with it now. When I was living on my own I had a friend who said I seemed weak. I…

  • 36 Hours

    36 Hours is the longest I’ve been awake in a long time. It’s been a good day, night, and another day. I need to take my psych meds and eat. Hopefully I can sleep after that. It obviously didn’t work last night though.

  • Counter Culture

    Danny and I were arguing whether hippies were counter culture as the textbooks say or if they were the main culture in ascent. But it’s late, I’m high, and I needed to start my fast. So we had to end our phonecall. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Away.

  • The Problem with Illegal

    Chattel Slavery is illegal in the USA. Stephanie and I are arguing whether it persists and is federally sanctioned. I believe most of the actual slavery is a matter of criminal cartels. Federal law enforcement can throw all its resources in that direction and still end up losing to organized crime. Stephanie believes that the…

  • “This is the Life”

    Ben is sitting next to me listening to Weird Al. “This is the Life” is a fun song. “Women lined up outside my door/They’ve been waiting there since a week before.” “You’re dead for a real long time/ You just can’t prevent it/ So if money can’t buy happiness/ I guess I’ll have to rent…

  • Identifying as Christian

    I had a long conversation today with a friend who is worried that I find it hard to identify as a Christian. We typed about how the things I actually believe probably indicate that I am not a Christian at all. It only makes sense that I don’t pretend to be something I am probably…

  • Pain as Communication

    Stephanie wrote a five page essay a few days ago about pain and how our beliefs about it shape how we perceive it. I haven’t been very good at maintaining focus on it. Essays are painful. 😇
