It started innocently enough.

About 3 days ago, I put in a call to the pharmacy to renew these drugs the doc has me on that he claims are keeping me alive. Heh. I haven't had the heart to tell him that what keeps any of us alive is that it just isn't yet our time to die, and when that time DOES come, none of his pills will give me one more breath ( Read more... )

"You will go to the Special Hell, which is reserved for child molestors and people who talk at the theater." (Shepherd Book, FIREFLY)

One of my favorite quotes, particularly in light of an experience yesterday afternoon. Wendy and I had taken a rare afternoon off and went to see STATE OF PLAY - the new Russell Crowe flick, which had been touted as ( Read more... )

Well, it looks at this hour as if Prop 8 has passed here in California.  What is prop 8?  Well, it essentially says that only a "man and a woman" can be married.  Everything else is an abomination in the eyes of god.  If it passes (which it apparently has), it means that gay marriage is outlawed, and it will require a rewriting of the California ( Read more... )

I have largely come to the conclusion that abdicating from the world of matter and men may be the very best thing a warrior can do - though I am fairly certain many here will disagree at some level.  And yet...

Several years ago, it began to occur to me that I had essentially become segregated from the world and, as a result, from most people.  At ( Read more... )

 What is lettuce, Young Grasshopper?

Well, if you ask me, it's something that should probably be eaten BY grasshoppers, rabbits and other marauding rodents & insects, because to the human palate, lettuce is rather like congealed water rendered into some manner of crunchy leaf through the mysteries of nature and the marvels of modern horticultural ( Read more... )

It's not that I don't have anything to say these days - just that the majority of what I have been observing has either been said before, or there seems to be litle point in tossing words up on a screen just to see them appear like magickal talismans on the cyber-fabric of some internet chat room or forum.  I hear myself asking... "What's the point ( Read more... )

The demons are back again.

But as I look at those words on this cyberpage, I cannot help but see the programs inherent even in that single sentence. To call them demons is to relegate them to some nether-realm of imagined evil, replete with gargoyles and denizens of the night. To say they are "back again" implies that they went away, but it would ( Read more... )

***

One thing that has consistently surprised me since beginning these forums back in the year 2001, is that there would appear to be relatively few *seers* in cyberspace, and perhaps even less who have actually ( Read more... )

This doc is smart, in humanform terms. Has it mapped out so that I am required to show up in his office about 4 times per year, under the guise of a "follow-up". This is a ritual I find not only annoying, but potentially life-altering - in the sense that, when we go actively looking for something, we often find it. Translated: it ( Read more... )

At this point, I'm maintaining this rant thread primarily for my own amusement - what I consider to be a log/blog of "Life in the Nuthouse".  *heh*...  So with that said, I can only add that much of what is said here is little more than a rant, a vent, a way of blowing off steam so as to avoid blowing off heads.  *bwahaha*  All questions are ( Read more... )
