An Open-Letter Rant Regarding the Arbitrivial Nature of Human Beings.
I Got Nuthin. And I’m not even sorry for it. After yesterday’s heavy, downer of a post on DEPRESSION, which I wrote partly in honor of Mental Health Month (which is every May), partly to vent my frustration about how badly people treat those suffering DEPRESSION, and partly because the topic had been on my […]
Depression is a Lying Bitch, Wouldn’t You Say? Self-Improvement is a lot of work, and that’s kind of not really fair. Admittedly, sometimes a wreckage is our own fault. For example, I need to shed fifty pounds. Because I am a lazy slob who let myself go. Totally my own fault. Well, and […]
It’s not that I mean to get one over on somebody when I lie. Mostly I’m just antisocial, impatient, and eager to stay out of trouble (you know, CRAZY). And sometimes that means saying the first thing that pops into my mind as being the easy way out. By telling a lie. A small lie. […]
Not too long ago, I asked the village in which I live to stop packing their kids’ Nintendos, because it’s against school rules and puts me in a bad position — the one where I have to be the jerk who says “NO” and then get awarded the privilege of listening to my seven-year-old argue, […]

Not that I want to be friends with Penelope, per se, for the […]
I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship. ~Louisa May Alcott Yesterday I explained on this here bloggy-blog why Living in the NOW is important in facing down fear. Chad Davis, in his article “Hope is the Antidote for Fear”, best summarized this aspect of fear: “We imagine what […]
Love Thyself (Detours & Revelations) This is a post from my ongoing series WHAT’S UP, WENZDAY? This will happen every Wednesday as part of my ROW80 weekly check-in. It’s still pretty damn funny, though. Funk Dat. Sometimes I get funky. I don’t mean “funky” in the stinky sense of the word (although after a workout […]
Our Meet-Up with the Minimalists This weekend was so freaking awesome! First we took our daughter to the zoo. That wasn’t the awesome part. I don’t care what anyone else says, animals are stinky & disgusting, especially in the heat, so that flies are buzzing around and sticking to your sweaty face. And if your […]
