So a few years ago I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and underwent treatment. I can assure you that process is filled with comedic gold, but it's not what I'm here to talk about tonight. I simply want to vent a tiny bit about the form I now have to fill out when I get… Continue reading Don’t Ask Dumb Questions
What I Did For Love: A Tale Of One Kitty
My cat Pooter is on Prozac for severe anxiety... I could list a whole bunch of reasons why this isn't my fault and some of them might even sound valid, but it's like misbehaving children; it's always the parents fault. Pooter is a fiercely independent cat and I don't say that lightly because he spends… Continue reading What I Did For Love: A Tale Of One Kitty
And sometimes late at night… a boy band is formed
When All Ideas Fail…
I'm actually so exhausted and weary that I went to a blog generator website tonight. I should maybe feel ashamed, but once I saw what they were giving me, I'm actually pretty bummed I didn't find these magical tools sooner. At first I made a pact with myself that I would write about the first… Continue reading When All Ideas Fail…
Tolkien Resolutions Part Two — Villains
So after I wrote the post yesterday about resolutions inspired by Tolkien creations, I received a few comments and texts from friends asking me about some of their favorites I had forgotten to mention. When I looked closer at the list of suggested characters I noticed a common theme throughout -- they were all bad… Continue reading Tolkien Resolutions Part Two — Villains
Tolkien Resolutions For 2013
I resolved to write in my blog every day this week. What does it say about me that my goal was a week long instead of committing to something for the year? Does it say lazy or am I so realistic that I'm actually a super genius because I'm setting myself up for success? Last… Continue reading Tolkien Resolutions For 2013
2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 6,500 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 11 years to get… Continue reading 2012 in review
Social Change
Today we wake up in a world that seems harsher in the first light. But my reason for feeling that way, as opposed to why I should feel that way, is in conflict. Let me explain; I have to encounter the facts of the Newtown CT tragedy through social media, and though it isn't the… Continue reading Social Change
Some Needed Inspiration
Three months without a new post?!?! I'm dropping the ball here. It happens this way because after a while the pressure to produce something funny, after so much time has passed, is overwhelming. A week long hiatus is equal to a post that will make you readers chuckle; two weeks needs a least one good… Continue reading Some Needed Inspiration
Who’s That Crazy Hermit? Oh… me.
A while back when I was moving into my own apartment with no room mate I read an article about how people can get weird when they don't have the accountability of daily social interaction. I knew this was true on some level because I have lived alone before (while going through treatments for illness)… Continue reading Who’s That Crazy Hermit? Oh… me.
