Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

  • Stability vs. Sanity

    Some fruit of my not-so-polite college inquiries has yielded fruit. I will be an online .. still adunct of course… of a Comp II course. Positives: –  Money –  Something to do –  Keeps the resume free of half a year work absences – I don’t have to drive in the snow, since it’s an online… Read more

  • What I think most people don’t realize is “Cinderella” is not the name of the character. Snow White – is – a name.  It’s based upon circumstances of the weather rather than have any historical or societal reason.  Regardless, it is a name. Sleeping Beauty’s name is Aurora.  Like Snow White, Aurora’s name is based upon her… Read more

  • I am a storm bringer.

    It’s actually raining right now – 2:48am (of course).  The window is open.  The wetted fresh air is just every so barely moving the curtain- which is a good thing.   If it being rambunctious, I’d have to close the window to save the laptop. I also like the quote – thought it was fitting. I’ve… Read more

  • Three Week Check In

    I would have never picked “Here comes the sun” from the 1969 Beatles album – which is what played during my roughly three week old House commencement.  Trina, my illness absent primary therapist, chose it for me.  Kadie had to guide the ceremony – but there really wasn’t any need to – the elder clients were well-skilled… Read more

  • While perusing my G+ page, I came across the above – and it seemed to hit home with the three ring circus – known fondly as the Road to the White House. Just to get this out – I think Hilary is going to win. No, I don’t support her.  I don’t like her.  Yes,… Read more

  • 1984 is a wonderful novel penned by Orwell somewhere in the late 1940s.  (1949, I think.)  If you’re unfamiliar, the novel, set roughly 30 years before the date it was supposed to happen, is the birth of the Thought Police, Big Brother, and thoughtcrime, and other words that have (oddly and easily) become part of… Read more

  • My Fairy Tale Life

    For some reason, the tale of Snow White has always held a special fascination for me.  Sure, there’s a lot of psychological thought in the tale – so much that Freud would be proud. Beyond that, however, the character seems to be a bit one-sided, but maybe with the potential for growth.  It’s the potential… Read more

  • Trustful Americans

    Yesterday, Indiana started early voting for the quickly approaching November elections.  This is a blessing – and a curse. Blessing – voters, such as those with busy schedules, physical concerns, or who are elderly, can conveniently chose s time, location, and will, hopefully avoid standing in long lines.  Early voting encourages participation. Curse – the… Read more

  • Isn’t moderation extreme?

    Moderation: The avoidance of extremes, rather related to behavior, political, financial, spiritual… i.e. – don’t go overboard.  don’t try to be perfect. Just live as the world presents itself – try to find the fabled Truth Cue music: Ya Take The good ya take the bad ya take em both and thare ya have The… Read more
