I have come to realize that I feel that I am bland, as compared to the rest of the world. Some of the synonyms I found for bland are: uninteresting, dull, boring, tedious, monotonous, dry, drab, dreary, wearisome, dull, unremarkable. I don’t necessarily believe that I am any of these things at all times, but […]

So, this morning I am thinking about humans and our need to judge others by our own fickle standards. I was already kind of thinking about this as I did my morning trudge; I’d been considering the frustration I feel at the automatic mental comparisons I do every day. Not because I want to, but […]

I’ve been annoying myself lately with a lot of self-talk about how big my thighs are. It’s really irritating that I can’t escape these thoughts. For one thing, I’m normal sized for me. For another thing, there are way too many more important things I would rather be thinking about. Lastly, UGH why the crap […]

I wonder what it would be like to feel attachment to people, places, things? One of the strangest things about me is that I have very little attachment to anyone or anyplace or anything.

Maybe it’s my chronological age, or may it’s just human nature, but it seems like the majority of things people want to do have to do with sex, drugs, and/or daredevil stunts. I can’t […]

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 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 […]

People are always talking about how they want change in the world. The problem is that relatively few people actually take the steps to affect the change they want to see. Everyone is waiting for somebody else to do it. There are no politicians who will demand all the changes on your agenda. There are no spiritual […]

Today started out well – I woke up on time, the weather outside is exactly how I like it, I am not feeling ill, and I felt content. I worked out, pushed myself and beat my previous record on the treadmill. I smiled and greeted many people, who smiled and greeted me back. I headed […]
