Of Abortion

I wrote a thing about my experience with Abortion on Facebook because I am having such a hard time wrapping my head around how people can behave in such bad faith. I don’t have much to add to it, but here it is: Years ago, access to safe and legal abortion changed the course of […]

Of Hope and Dreams

Naturally it’s afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you’ve won. It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. – The Alchemist Dreams are fickle things. I have both of these quotes on my wall at home because for so much of my life it seems like […]

Of Courtship and Patience

I’ve always had kind of a dubious view of the ability to post a relationship status on Facebook as “It’s complicated”. I’ve always kind of assumed that if two people were into each other and one/both of them had the balls to act on it, then there would be nothing complicated about it. Now I […]

Of Truth

I’m on a fucking role with the writing recently. I guess I do have a lot to say and recently I have been in a position to take the time to actually get it out of my brain and into letters. One of the thing’s that I find myself talking about and thinking about is […]

Of Thanksgiving

Every year around Thanksgiving I usually remember that I have spent the last year complaining about all of the things that upset me and that I perceive are going wrong in my life. And every year at Thanksgiving I have to force myself to be thankful for the things that are going well in my […]

Of Emptiness

Emptiness, dear friend, how long has it been? This one is going to be a doozy friends. I do not find myself in a good place as I write this. When I first started writing this blog, I was a disaster. She had just left and I didn’t know what I was going to do […]

Of Resolutions

Of Resolutions So the more I write this blog, the more I realize it is becoming more of a vehicle for verbal diarrhea and exploration of the parts of my mind that I rarely visit. I think overall, I am okay with that direction. I put the sub-title of this blog down as “A journey […]

Of Smurf’s first visit to Manhattan

I lied. I couldn’t write again. I was supposed to be doing this every week, but I have been terrible at it. This weekend I walked Smurf into Manhattan. We walked across the Manhattan Bridge (not recommended), through Chinatown and down to the Financial District, back across the Brooklyn Bridge and then home. I have […]

Of Dice and Demons

A forced journey of acceptance
