Well...that was the point, actually
At first I admit I was somewhat taken aback by sannion 's opinion of Twitter: " Why should anyone else care about someone's brief conversations with others and random thoughts they can't even bother to flesh out into a decent paragraph? It's like a toddler coming up to you holding the turd they just made and expecting you to be just as excited by it as ( Read more... ) -
In which I post to show off my new icon
Hi all,
That's right. I'm posting for no other reason than to show off my shiny new icon, Howler of the Drak Pack, recolored in the GIMP by yours truly.
I really enjoyed working on this today, and have added to my arsenal of GIMPtastic skills. For those not in the know, the GIMP is an open source art program similar to photoshop.

The Universe Answers My Questions on Islam

This week one of my favorite webcomics (which I receive daily in my email), Unshelved, came in ( Read more... ) -
Hate Kills Everything...Film at 11...Live at 10

The Jack Update
For those of you wondering what's going on in the Wonderful World of Jack...I'm in Amory, MS, with kiarapixie and I still don't have a job.

I've seen a counselor in Tupelo, and will be going to see a nurse practitioner next month. I ( Read more... ) -
Self-love, my children, sing the praises thereof
"There is a compulsion to take into yourself the qualities you feel you're lacking and someone else has. Eroticization is one of the ways to do that." Barry Levy, Christian counselor and licensed clinical social worker, quoted in "My gay therapy session"
Funny, I explain my previous attractions to a number of men that way--that I kept .looking for ( Read more... ) -

Spiritual vs Civil Union (United States)
I've been giving this a lot of thought. And it comes down to this, for me:
Separation of Church and State.
Really, the government should have absolutely no say in who can and cannot enter into a Spiritual Union before their Gods. Heck, the government trying to tell anyone who can and cannot be married before a Supreme Being is like China trying ( Read more... )
