I feel the tide of time changing. If you have ever felt this, you know what I mean: it is the feeling that the course of your life is about to change in some profound and inescapable way. For me, there is also the feeling of new alternate realities being created at that moment when I make […]

Lately, I’ve been working on being aware of the moment I’m in. What I mean is that when I catch myself fixating on past mistakes or fantastical futures, I make a conscious effort to pull myself back to the present. It is surprisingly difficult to do so. A lot of the time, I don’t even […]

I woke up this morning and proceeded to go through my daily routine as usual. I noticed, in passing, that there were a lot fewer people at the gym and on the highway than usual. I briefly wondered if there is a holiday coming up, or if this is perhaps a popular vacation weekend. In […]

On my mind this morning: religious prejudice. Yesterday I got into a debate with a set of ultra-religious folks about gender identity. The debate started out with a question about thoughts on a child who identifies as the opposite gender from a very young age and then wants gender reassignment surgery around the time of […]

She is an interesting woman, with many intriguing talents and a propensity for those things which are usually found in the realm of metaphysics. She happened to be offering tarot readings. I asked her to draw a card for me. She pulled Justice: This is […]

I can’t tell if I am confident or not. I looked up “confidence” in the dictionary to see if it would help me to discern my feelings. Confidence is belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities, assurance of and full trust in oneself. Okay, so I’m going to go over this to find out whether […]

I have never been one to expect things from other people. I have an extremely hard time depending on other people for anything, because I don’t want to be disappointed if they don’t come through for me. When I do allow myself to rely on anyone else, I always have a backup plan that I […]

So, this morning, I watched two videos (via @neiltyson, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson). Both videos were made to encourage girls to get interested in science. The first video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFvh9zbjYeE) is titled, “Science: It’s a girl thing!” and features models strutting around a stage and posing for the camera. The “science” in the video is done […]

I have no idea what to write about today. I’m working on several large projects right now, and my mind is having a hard time switching from programming to writing. So, yesterday, I had a very brief Twitter conversation with Scott Mueller (@HandKnitWebs). He had tweeted the link to a Lorem Ipsum (latin filler text […]
