So I was watching this video a couple nights ago on theooze.tv
Peter Rollins was discussing coming to grips with the truth about ourselves.  He uses the digital representations we use online(facebook/twitter,etc) to illustrate his point. Which is, that sometimes its easier to live through a “public profile”, which is “the idealized representation of ourselves.”  The [...]

A few days ago, well maybe more like a week or two.  I listed the main things that can be done to naturally lower one’s blood pressure, and improve over all health.  It so happens, that as of January 4th, 2010, I received a pretty high Blood Pressure reading, and decided it was high time [...]

She sits nightly on her stoop
with her book and the orange juice colored vodka mix…always more vodka than juice…
Amidst the silence of the night and below the mysteries of a trillion stars that inspire the guttural cry of a thousand questions…heavy and swollen…
Jade, her jet black cat, saunters through the cracked front door.  He crouches [...]

In the past I have referred to truth in the lower case sense, and in the upper case sense.

I began writing this fictional story a couple years ago, and then tossed it aside.  Today, I thought, hmmm…maybe I’ll see if I couldn’t get some help finishing it.  If you’re game, it’s now going to be a Chain Story.  However, I am open to awarding a prize to the most creative story teller!

Here’s a list of 10 Books that have shaped my thinking. This list, by no means, is my top 10, nor is it necessarily listed in order of importance(Except for the 1st one).  The only real danger here is in placing yourself between the white and black pages of ideas that force one to confront [...]

Silence can be like a clean white page, before the blur of words.  Or like the darkness.  It really isn’t a thing, but the absence of something.  For darkness, that thing is light.  For silence, it is noise.  The echoes of sound tightly trapped inside the walls of your mind.  The ones you can’t seem [...]

When I watched the clip below, I felt like I had to comment. Then after reading Donald Miller’s response to Pat Robertson, I calmed down a bit, not to say I was jumping around with flailing arms or anything…but you get the point.  Both Pat Robertson and I have our own problems.  So I’ll [...]

I tried to focus on the words below the multicolored display chart of male and female internal organs.  The nurse was strapping my let arm into a blood pressure cuff, and in minutes my fate would be pronounced.  If it was anything like the last two blood pressure readings I knew the diagnosis would come [...]
