My new found singleness or singlehood or single status, what ever the hell you're supposed to call it has created a question for me. Mostly it's a question which relates back to my self perception, which is historically pretty terrible. I've got a roving eye lately for all of the woman who cross my path, this I'm pretty sure is just natural. I'm ( Read more... )

It's funny how something you read or hear can kind of kick off a chain of events in your brain. Someone had recently posted something about some things they'd kept to themselves for a good long time, not a secret in the sense of something they've done wrong or harmed somehow, but something within themselves they are coming to grips with. It's not ( Read more... )

Well, it's over, officially. My girlfriend and I broke up last night.
It's better than I envisioned it though. I'm not coming apart at the seams, not emotionally distraught. Don't get me wrong, I'm a little sad, but I think I'm more sad because I know this is going to be hard for her right now. It's not that I don't care about her or love her even ( Read more... )

Beware, there's a rant ahead.

So, I have a bone to pick with some things I've been hearing and picking up on lately. First of all, there's this whole "powerless over people, places and things," idea which gets tossed around like confetti in meetings. I have yet to see this written anywhere in the book Alcoholics Anonymous or the Twelve Steps and ( Read more... )

Ok, so some of you may have seen my post yesterday, and things are going really well in my life. I'm enjoying life, more and more as time passes. Everytime I think it's gotten as good as it can get, it gets a little bit better. That or the bottom falls out and I learn that I was lacking in humility somewhere, and then it's gets better than it was ( Read more... )

So, I've been deliquent on my live journal posts. Not that any of you really give a good god damn about whether or not I post my babble here, but it's been a while.
Things have once again changed. Bob Dylan, of course, wrote the timeless classic "Times, They are a Changin'", but he also wrote a song for the soundtrack to The Wonder Boys called, ( Read more... )

So, is anyone else interested in things related to the laws of intelectual property? I am. Being a film fanatic, I'm also interested in things related to the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), and it's way of coming to decisions for films ratings. I will confess, these are not my favorite people, by any means. Certain inconsistancies ( ( Read more... )

So, we're "spreading democracy"? I don't think that's exactly what this gentleman is talking about. And he's not talking about it from the standpoint of being an academic or an intelectual. He's talking about it from the standpoint of having been one of the perpetrators of what is basically the exact kind of dehumanization I've been beginning to ( Read more... )

Here's something for you which explains why this war we're fighting went from being about terrorism, to being about making cash!

Follow the money, and you'll find the reasons

Ya know, I really wish none of this was the truth, and I'm beginning to think I'm headed toward a long period of time where I'll really be feeling as if I really didn't want to be right.

Veteran with anti-war sentiments has some hard luck with the gov't he once served
