A Sentence

Here is a thought from my 9 months ago self:

"In my more sober moments I worry that my cynicism and sarcasm can get in the way of aliveness. I want those sober moments to increase, gain some momentum, and maybe roll this soul over."

Ok so it was two sentences, but "A Sentence" has more poetic resonance for me--so your petty, neatnik logic has been overruled. 

Christianity & Jesus Aren't Necessarily the Same

Every once in awhile I read something and I say, "Yep, that's what I've been trying to say."

You'll see attempts to be as clear and profound as this blog post in my own writing, but I haven't achieved it. I wish everyone would read this and take a big long think for awhile.

Suspect

What does it say about me that, at some point or another in the midst of most of my relationships, I have taken time to consider whether or not this person I was dealing with was a sociopath?

If it helps I've also considered myself as a possible case.

But then I get weepy over a long distance calling commercial and know in my heart of hearts that I'm not such a bad guy.

Sorrow & Chagrin

If I ever needed a reminder of my voluminous failures in this life (and generally I don't), I would just go to my blog stats and look at the number one search terms are that have led people to my blog.


Dwarfing all other internet searches, 374 to the next closest, 64, is this:


"chili cook off flyer"

Is that my mission in a phrase? Does that capture the essence of what I've set out to do with this blog?

The results speak for themselves, I suppose.
