  • 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. 😇

  • Wasting Gems

    I started a new mobile game today. In the tutorial it gave me a bunch of the primary monetized resource in the game. Then it made me waste most of it. I could just keep the dang gems for when I actually needed them, I had to spend them to get through the tutorial. It’s…

  • My Lap

    For about a year Magic would curl up in my lap and sleep. Sometimes this was for several hours. Then Ether came and has tried to claim my lap since then. But Magic isn’t going to let him bully her and I won’t either. Magic was in my lap this morning and Ether walked up…

  • Mostly Harmless

    One of my favorite authors is Douglas Adams. He wrote a book about a book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. One of the characters spends years on Earth collecting data about our lives and our cultures for the Guide. After his research is approved the Guide’s entry for Earth is only two words…
