A place for readers. A place for writers. A place for thinkers.
Not to blast my own audience, but I’ve come to realize that while people will read books, they don’t “log on” to the internet to read novels. Anything outside of 140 characters takes up too much time. This, I understand, as even I will see the headline of an article and immediately assume that I’ve…
Not intentionally, of course. That isn’t what I’m suggesting; there would be no productivity for either party in a debate if one were to lose on purpose. I am suggesting, however, that before one learns how to win, one must lose. Here’s a story that hockey fans are familiar with: When Wayne Gretzky’s Edmonton Oilers…
I promise you I don’t write these with solely alcoholics in mind, but here is a question that might be useful to the alcoholic: Did you know you don’t need alcohol to become extremely intoxicated? You can become intoxicated in a myriad of ways, the most notable way being a continual feeding of an insatiable…

Not a lengthy reflection today, my friends. The dialogue amongst our fellows is going to rage out of control over the next couple of days, as tends to happen when situations beyond our control (your vote does not matter) arise, and it has reminded me of something that was pointed out to me long ago….
Miss Alexa’s most recent entry, “Love Never Fails,” had me thinking about love. There are a multitude of reasons why one might tell you that they love you. One of the reasons being that they actually mean it, which, obviously, would be the ideal reason, but this is not always the case, is it? They…

Without having done any kind of medical research, studying hardly any medical science, or partaking in anything resembling medical school, still, I have an opinion about medicine. Why? Well, because I’m an expert on everything, don’t you know? For example, my hot take on medicine is that, basically, beyond using medications as a temporary crutch…
“If ever one is disturbed, one of three things is happening. They are either hating, judging, or playing God.” Of course, I am immediately about to contradict that statement as I am about to make a harsh judgment, but generally speaking, how it works in the rooms of “Alcoholics Anonymous” is there are one or…
I’ve addressed this previously, but I felt it required a separate entry, so here goes: While anger and fear are two separate words with two different definitions, they are highly correlated. I never used to think of myself as an angry person; I suppose because I never had an inkling to stab somebody with an…

It’s something like “radical presenthood.” That’s the best I can do right now. I’ve touched on it in the last “daily” post, and if any of it sounds familiar, that’s probably because it is, although I’d like to think that I add a little of my own flavor in my expansion upon it. “The Power…
