It’s a statement I’ve said many, many times, especially in the last year or so. I said it several times when I wrote this post back in January. Even in these last few months, I’ve changed, I’ve moved forward — even away from that very post! — and come more to terms with who I… Continue reading I Want To Believe

Turning The Corner
The site going down for as long as it did feels like part of the last gasp of an awful time of my life coming to a close. Until now, I simply haven’t had the resources to do things like pay a large invoice like the one for my host, even a yearly one. Along… Continue reading Turning The Corner
500 Words on Normal
“This is not normal” has become something of a rallying call for the resistance against the rising regime on a local, national, and international level. It’s not a bad place to begin. It’s true, after all — none of the confusing and detrimental decisions being made by this rising regime we’re dealing with is normal.… Continue reading 500 Words on Normal
Asking The Right Questions
Am I a good man? It’s a question I’m asking myself on a daily basis. Months after so many people made up their minds that the answer was a resounding ‘NO’, I’m still asking it. I lose sleep over it. I wake up with my guts in knots thinking about it. I find myself disengaged… Continue reading Asking The Right Questions
500 Words on Getting Better
Getting to a point where I can post here on even a semi-regular basis has been a very long road. Even before my most recent traumas, just a few months ago, I was climbing my way back to a place of relative stability from the rock bottom I’d hit last year. My focus has been… Continue reading 500 Words on Getting Better
The New Diagnosis
First things first: the vlog returns next week. Balthazar is back up and running, things are smooth there, and I have plenty of spoons to illustrate the Spoon Theory for folks who are unfamiliar. So, stay tuned for that. At the expense of being blunt: I trigger people. People’s feelings are not invalid. Nor are… Continue reading The New Diagnosis
Vlog #7: "The Road"
Click the image! What a lovely day to talk about the future. There are two roads that lead in that direction, and this week I talk about those roads and which one to take – and, more importantly, the paths we should NOT take. If you like what I’m doing with these, please feel free… Continue reading Vlog #7: "The Road"
Vlog #6: "The Rage"
Click the image! Frustration. Anger. Rage. They’re not synonyms; they’re a progression of negativity and potentially destructive emotions. This week, I lay out that progression, face some of my own issues, and find a way through bad moments towards better ones. If you like what I’m doing with these, please feel free to subscribe or… Continue reading Vlog #6: "The Rage"
'The Fix Is In'
This week I talk about one of my pet peeve turns of phrase. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I won’t reiterate my take on it here, because I already discussed it in the vlog (which you should totally go watch, plug plug). Instead, let me turn my attention to a very different one… Continue reading 'The Fix Is In'
Vlog #5: "The Fix"
Click the image! They say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” How are they wrong, at least when it comes to working on ourselves, expressing ourselves, and how we see ourselves? Join in our quest for answers and mine for the optimal sound setup. If you like what I’m doing with these, please feel… Continue reading Vlog #5: "The Fix"
