I spent this last weekend with a group of people with whom i have a shared set of values with. They are from all walks of life, income brackets and appearances. As i’ll describe in a bit, i went to this event without much in the way of expectation and what i ended up coming… Read more

A few years ago, using my Stumble Upon toolbar, i came across the website for Carla Klein. I was immediately struck by her imagery. See, i have an ongoing obsession with horizons and skies. Horizons are an interesting thing. They are boundaries that exist within our perception and nowhere else. They provide a dramatic stage… Read more

I have a continual problem with what gets posted on the comments section of the Huffington Post and what doesn’t. As is standard with the Huffington Post, when a comment is censored, no reason is given nor is there any notification as to why. There are times when comments may not appear for hours.

Had surgery for it last Wednesday but unfortunately the doctor was unable to reach the stone. We’re trying again this coming Wednesday.… Read more

[audio:07_november_2011.mp3] This was the summer of insanity and inanity. I have never been so close to someone who can only be described as an unemployed, alcoholic, grifter whose diet consisted of scams, ponzi schemes, lies, laziness, manipulation and rage. The amount of cognitive dissonance this person lives with is truly indescribable… so i’m not going… Read more

[audio:22_june_2011.mp3] I’m trying something new- something that i should have done a long time ago. This entry, although well meaning, does meander a bit. So far, i’m very happy with this plugin and will post a link to its homepage later. This entry references this post. It’s probably the most important thing i’ve written on… Read more
