I’ve been told I have an “old vocabulary.” I think I also have what people erroneously think of as “old values.” You see, in days of old when knights were bold and journeyed from their castles most of us would have been property. Nobility was an economic class, not a rigidly honorable group of people seeking to best fulfill the needs of their ( Read more... )

I wish that you could left click on your life taskbar and hit "Adjust Date/Time." If I could change one moment of my life, just one, I would go back in time to this day in 2002. I would call my brother and find out how the race with Greg went and then I would tell him that under no circumstances was he to get on his motorcycle the following day. I ( Read more... )

....cut it out! Just stop sending so much bad. My family deserves better.

I have been watching the way the media (both right and left) have been covering health care reform, national security and the economic situation these past few months. I wish I could say that with Obama as president and a Democrat majority in both houses of Congress I had a sense of peace. After 8 years of wondering when the dystopia I have feared ( Read more... )

So, my trip to the UK did NOT start as planned. But after securing actual, for real, not scam housing, I have settled in to a nice routine of subsistence living. With no money, it has become my little adventure to eat for as little as possible. Sometimes that means eating as little as possible, but I am surprisingly energetic. It must be the ( Read more... )
