Sunday, March 25th, 2012I am part of the generation of consolation prize kids. When I ran cross country in elementary school, I came in 32nd place in my first race. There were 32 people participating. I was literally last to finish, and by a long shot at that. But! I got something for it. A ribbon, a trophy, […]
Waiting at an Airport
Friday, November 11th, 2011Waiting is a hilarious thing. I’m sitting in the airport right now, waiting. Waiting for a gal I haven’t seen for more than 8 months. Eight months. The first month of that wait lasted for the last 8 months of my life. The last two hours have lasted the remaining 7 months. I wrote in […]
Me Defining “Religion”
Saturday, October 29th, 2011I studied “Religion” in school. What the hell does that mean? Google’s definition of religion is: The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods. That’s wrong because belief is not necessary in the Jewish religion, worship was not even understood by the Hindus when white people found […]
There’s No Such Thing As Dirt (Part 1?)
Thursday, October 13th, 2011I want to pay people to take trash apart for the production of new and better products. A customized society, tailored for you; can you imagine? Your computer breaks and what do you do? You sell or donate it and hope nobody steals your identity, you keep it in the museum that is your basement, […]
The Nominous Experience
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Today I became a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That’s right, I am a Pastafarian. I am at this very moment thinking of how I can answer the question, “Why do you have dreadlocks?” in a punny way to refer to this very special religious community. Why did I change my […]
1+1=1
Monday, September 5th, 2011Is there a difference between a soul choosing to inhabit a body in a specific place and time and a soul being chosen by God to be where it is when it is? Did your soul exist before you were born and will it exist after you die? Is the great Death we pretend to […]
Overpopulation
Thursday, August 11th, 2011This came from a discussion-argument on Facebook I had with a friend. I haven’t ever lined my thoughts out so precisely, so it’s become a post for my records and yours. Overpopulation can not be in and of itself be the problem. There are other populations that are larger in number and in consumptive force […]
The Breakfast Post
Sunday, July 24th, 2011I. Love. Breakfast. If you didn’t fully comprehend the potence of the first three sentences in this post, please go reread until you completely understand how much I enjoy eating breakfast. If only I had sexier hair and a better dress, I would make a video like this lady to talk about my passions in […]
That’s OK Man I Got No Self-Esteem
Friday, July 15th, 2011I recently read an article that introduced a revolutionary new term to me. It is called self-compassion. This isn’t a magical new combination of letters for many people. The idea of self compassion isn’t difficult to understand at all. What was so new for me was what the article paired self-compassion up with, and that […]
Doublethinking 1985
Monday, June 27th, 2011Usually I sit down to the other side of rumbelow.org with some idea of what I will be writing. (I never know what I will title the post until it is finished. I learned that writing poetry.) Today I have absolutely no idea. I’ve been busy. Actually busy. I’ve been writing, singing, playing, hurting, searching, […]
