A day in the life of… let’s ride bikes!
So a non-productive post-spring-semester day for an adult with attention deficit disorder might hypothetically go something like this… Continue reading
Conjunction junction
Why is writing always last on my list? Because every other thing I have to do is ultimately a responsibility to someone else as well. If only I could escape to a place where time didn’t exist, just long enough to pen my masterpiece. I suppose a watched to-do list doesn’t check itself off. Continue reading
Bizarro Spring
I hope this summer to find time to really learn Premier Pro and maybe put together something consistent enough to become a webcast. Seems like citizen journalism and audience content are really taking off right now so the time is right to get my act together. I’m really excited about it, but today I’d give anything to be able to ride my bike. Continue reading
Didn’t think I’d come through, did you?
I’m on task, two days in a row! (gasp, shock) Continue reading
Brains… cycles.
Then comes the realization; maybe if I changed something, a few things, and threw a little randomness into my struggle I could adapt. Perhaps a little evolution is in order, and the only sure way to start it is to break the pattern. Continue reading
Turtle Head Pokin’ Out
Scheduling is one of my challenges at this stage in the game. I’m going to start school this fall, and I’m going to have a schedule again; one that doesn’t revolve around bar time. Continue reading
A Point In Every Direction Is The Same As No Point At All
I find it endlessly amusing that the “Life” tag on my cloud up there gets in the way of the “therapy” link. Since my life has always gotten in the way of any chance at actual therapy, it’s fitting. Continue reading
Blue Friday
Maybe other people have it way worse than you do. Maybe you should watch some reality TV to make you feel better about your life. Where’s Jerry when you need him Continue reading
Kooky Blue Persuasion
It is so hard to resist the urge to describe my waiting room experience in detail. I mean, technically a waiting room is a very public place and anything you do there is in front of a bunch of complete strangers. There’s surely no expectation of privacy in the waiting room… but the waiting room … Continue reading
You Have To Spend Something To Get Change
So today’s the big day… I’m going to the nut hut and hopefully I’ll be able to at least get started on the path to inner wellness. It’s kind of funny, I was in the pits of despair and insanity two weeks ago and today I’m feeling surprisingly positive. This doesn’t negate the issue so … Continue reading
Full Moon Blessings
I spent some time in a ritual space yesterday, and it felt really good to get back. I felt as if I had been away a long time from the spiritual part of my life. The experience left me with some ideas to ponder, and also reminded me that if we do lose the house … Continue reading
Write. Write? RIGHT!
I feel the need to write lately. Not just the usual “Oh my god I can’t wait to post a journal entry about this experience” or “I’m gonna Tweet this right now so people know it’s happening” kind of feeling. This is more like the “I’ve always wanted this and always known I was capable … Continue reading
Night Rider Strikes Again!
Somewhere between cross-stitching for a while, making pigs in a blanket for breakfast, and attempting yet again unsuccessfully to find the mounting bracket for my bike basket -I made some etch-a-sketch art. Continue reading
Keeping the Faith
It’s strange how attached we become to the definitions we’re familiar with. A lot of my fellow pagans cringe when I use the word “faith” or “sin” because they are so jaded from their early experience with judeo-christianity. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t define these words in the same way as the church, nor … Continue reading
47 Inches To Glory
Yesterday was sort of amazing by my recent standards. These past few weeks I’ve sunk deeper and deeper into depression as our financial situation became more bleak. The broadband got shut off last Sunday (we have a broadband phone and no cell) so I paid $58 to turn it back on Monday. Then Thursday the … Continue reading
Who is Mary Diamond?
Although my situation is sometimes unremarkable, I'm remarkably affected by it. Feel free to comment.
