Expect Delays (No Longer!)

Man, I hate when that happens. I write a blog post and I publish it and in my heart and soul I’m thinking “Ha! Okay, now that that one is outta the way, it’s going to churn out regular blog posts from here on out!” And then like a month goes by and life happens … Continue reading Expect Delays (No Longer!)

Into the Ether

Into the Ether It’s hard getting started. Especially when you don’t know where to start. I’ve written about my break-up with Kim on this blog. I don’t want to or need to really pontificate on the emotional, mental or geographical havoc it wreaked on my life. That time is passed. And its not worth going … Continue reading Into the Ether

A Lesson, but Learned?

What is a "lesson learned?" There are many from the same experience Don't believe everything you think And be picky about wisdom Glean from an experience Only what is really there to be learned And beware of false prophets Be careful with your mind Love it, but with a healthy distrust A hug from a … Continue reading A Lesson, but Learned?

Our Familiar Bed of suffering

Today is Thanksgiving. “Just another day” as he says in Platoon would say. I’m so tired of struggling. Life is struggling. Life is suffering. Suffering means discontent. That’s what the Buddha meant.

Beast Mode, Part 2

[Sigh] I did so well at first! Then the evil mistress Myoclonus showed up and that was all she wrote. I decided to do my fast last weekend as Kim was out of town so it would just be me and my grim determination to not touch any of the food in the kitchen. And, … Continue reading Beast Mode, Part 2

Beast Mode, Part 1

So, the first attempt at a fast didn’t go so well. Somehow, I managed to talk myself into thinking a 2-day fast would be just fine, so around about 6 P.M. on the second day, I proceeded fix myself a small bowl of dry roasted peanuts sprinkled in E.V.O.O. (Extra virgin olive oil. It’s on … Continue reading Beast Mode, Part 1

Getting a handle on my handles

When I was in grade school, there was a kid who always played Four Square with me and my “friends.” I use quotation marks because I was arguably the most socially inept, chubby, awkward kid at St. Dymphna’s Elementary School and I’m pretty sure the kids that allowed me to sits at their lunch table … Continue reading Getting a handle on my handles
