I wanted to make a list of habits I've developed or red flags that set off personal alarms because of situations I've been in with, or because of, men. So here we go ( Read more... )

Not because I'm invisible, even though I might be, but because you choose to not see me ( Read more... )

I had my moment, and I raised my voice. The day didn't start off bad, it was actually pretty good. Elan slid backwards on her digestive issues because she was given the wrong food for a few days, so instead of leaving for the airport, we were bathing a cat and cleaning up the couch. Delta failed at baggage check, because the woman in charge of our ( Read more... )

It's quite possible that the nature of consciousness is in the midst of a fundamental transformation. The human race seems to be getting more empathetic, more compassionate, and even more psychic. Many of us are having experiences that were previously thought to be the province of mystics, such as epiphanies that ( Read more... )

I love BJJ, I am addicted to it, and every day that I am not in the gym a part of my just dies at the idea of not being there. Yeah, the obvious thing is to just show up, but that's where the issue lies. I lack the passion. I don't know if it's from training burn-out, or drama burn-out.

So last night, I headed out to the sister gym in Villa Rica, with my training partner. Holy hell am I sore today! A is back in a happy place (which makes me happy) and I'm finding my desire to train again. It was good, learned a couple of new Gi chokes from C, helped one of their white belt females a bit and gave a helpful smack to one of their ( Read more... )

I need to reset my work boundaries, again, as I believe I have over-booked myself today. As much as I loved having the 3-day weekend, not having yesterday has made today a bit too hectic and I'm actually worried that I won't make it everywhere I need to go, today, on-time and do the things I need to do. Thankfully, it means next week will be ( Read more... )

If you're a left-winger, you may think right-wingers are stupid or evil or both. If you're a right-winger, you probably hold the same attitudes about left-wingers. A similar pattern prevails between most other groups that hold opposing views. You're a rare person if you've never looked at a certain group of people ( Read more... )

As if this week couldn't get any better. I show up to work on gym stuff, the manager is sick and I find out my training partner was kicked to another gym. I figure, at the rate I'm going through training partners, for whatever reason, I could open my own gym and have at least one full class every day on just my prior training partners alone ( Read more... )
