    @plushy That has a multi faceted answer. Though the long and short of it is that I've, in one way or another, embraced the darkness. Just not...

    Why are you a "closeted goth" ?

    Do not feed into the lies of the mind. No one and nothing can stop you from trying, other than yourself. I draw on occasion. You'll see my profile...

    It's difficult when you're caught between wanting to improve - which means self analysis, and wanting to let go - which means no analysing of...

Today at church we were all assigned to come up with an "elevator speech" about the Unitarian-Universalist church, how you would describe it to a stranger in the time it took an elevator to go from the sixth floor to the first floor. Over the next few Sundays we will all get our chance to come...
Apparently my former church has decided to tackle the subject of pornography, for which I applaud them. It takes a lot of courage to bring something like that up because my experience among evangelicals is that they are rather squeamish about talking about sexual matters. Oh, they are very...

I stupidly read a message from my ex-friend Lottey (the girl who I feel out with) to Charlotte telling her that Lottey thought Charlotte should know that my "friend" Matt was not only talking to Lottey's boyfriend about my video post while out djing, he was taking the piss? And talking to...

No one will know how much tonight means to me, which is a shame but thank you anyways.
Yesterday I had to put my cat to sleep. She had a fast-growing malignant cancer which could not be treated. She had three wonderful last weeks with me, and the last thing she knew was my arms around her. I am sad because I thought we would have many more years ahead of us, but it was not to...
Last week, a woman in her seventies was eating at an outdoor caf? when a young woman on a bicycle rode up, pushed her to the ground, snatched her purse, and would have rode off except for the actions of four men who leaped on her and pinned her to the ground. Another bystander caught the whole...

So I've been watching T.V a lot (as usual, since I am a complete couch potato), and those of you in the UK will know about the StopTober adverts. I have one thing to say to that scheme: go away. For those who haven't heard of it: StopTober is an annual event that happens in October where people...

Right now my community theater is in the middle of rehearsals for "To Kill A Mockingbird". I do hope we get a good turnout because the story is very relevant. Race has been the big topic of discussion around here ever since the local paper did a series of articles on racism in the Department...
The other day I learned that my old church has taken a break from studying Genesis and is now going through the first letter of John. So I decided to sit down and reread it. As I remembered, there was a lot of good stuff in there about not hating your neighbor and keeping the commandments...

Last night I got together with some of the people from my old church for a friendly end-of-summer potluck. Anyway, all was going well, until one of the men, who is well-known for his strong political views, made a statement about those "ragheads" over in the Middle East. Now, this is not the...
Been working a lot lately, and it's been fun, because my new job involves a lot of data. I also have to establish communication channels with people and coordinate activities with various people across the organization. Normally, that wouldn't appeal to me, but because I'm the analyst who's...

I'm not sure of the title yet but this a sample of what I wrote so far. My story begins on June 14th 1971 in Waltham, MA born to my dad David a Lance Corporal Marine just back from Vietnam and my beloved mom Virginia. We lived in a fairly nice 2 bedroom apt on Prospect Hill which I guess was...
The other day at church I was talking with a woman about euthanizing a terminally ill cat. She, like so many people I've talked to lately, said that when it was her time to go she hoped someone would be so compassionate as to do the same thing for her. When I said that I had a problem with the...
Amid all the handwringing and cries of woe surrounding the Issy Stapleton case, there is one thing everyone seems to agree about: That there needs to be more services for families with autistic children. And now that we are agreed we can all move on. Because no matter what happens in this...
The debate between the autistic community and parents and caregivers of dependents with autism rages on. The caregiver and non-autistic community does not, will not, see how the outpouring of support for the mother who tried to kill herself and her autistic daughter, affects those of us in the...
I?ve been wondering something for a while, and today pretty much was the final straw for me to write about it. There have been many blogs, articles, videos and the like about it online and I?m one in so many. But here?s the issue. Is ?autistic? as an insult becoming the new ?retarded?? Or...

Another way to render my bullies insignificant in my perspective, is to evaluate their intelligence. Based on their behaviour. Yes, this is a good thing. Obviously, someone who can only make themselves feel good about themselves by putting someone else down has the intellectual capacity of...

?are bad people, and I'm going to forgive myself for being so unforgiving that I don't give mine the benefit of having been young and stupid (with emphasis on stupid) at the time. I was no saint, but I don't think I should have had to be. When your whole class gangs up on you and you defend...
