It usually happens at a time when you’re not expecting it. It usually happens at a time when you need it. It usually happens in such a way that it changes your mindset, if not for good, at least long enough to keep you from completely crashing.

Weigh-In Wednesday – Scam Edition
The value of an individual now, more than ever, is measured almost exclusively by his or her contribution to the economy. What are you worth? What is your profession? How much do you earn? How many kids do you have? What zip code do you live in? What kind of car do you drive?

Prestige replaces practical education, and application of learning.
Friday Writing Challenge – No Reservations
I am convinced those who struggle with depression are the ones who are the most creative, the most intelligent, the most empathetic, and the most aware of how fucked up our world actually is, and sometimes they’re just done with it. They’re done fighting. They’re done with people like the politicians who think life is all stock tickers, oil, and tax loopholes, and that the people in this world don’t matter.

Yeah, she’s in her hoodie, and her hair is up. So what? Even at the end of the day, she’s amazing.
Friday Writing Challenge – Crazy Little Thing Called…
When we appreciate the little things: the moments, the kismet, the feelings that fill us even if for a brief point in time, we start to see the unwritten poems all around us. The beauty in our lives. The beauty we sometimes take for granted.
I know I need to do a better job of seeing the beauty, but she helps me with that every day.
Weigh-In Wednesday – No Bullying.
I’m never going to look like a Chippendales dancer, unless you compare me to Chris Farley in the SNL skit. So I’ll be happier just reducing the spare tire, and not being a flabby old man in five years.
I mean, flabbier, and older, I guess.
Thought of the Day
Like so many other ploys by men, White Supremacy at its roots is merely just a violence based tactic to eliminate male competition, and have sex with more women.
