Shortly after I got my apartment I requested visitation to see my daughter. Maria had her mother bring over my daughter for a supervised visit where I had been planning on having her for the entire weekend alone. Instead I got about a 45 minute visit before her mother left with my child, as if…

Upon my decision to destroy the naive ignorance to how life was outside of the walls of my upbringing I decided that in order to accomplish this I would have to experience that which I feared and what was unfamiliar to me. Without my parent’s knowledge, since dancing was not allowed, I attended my first…

Working from home for almost a decade, I often prefer to wake up slowly and do my work in bed on a laptop. The only problem with this is that a laptop screen is hard to see and requires lots of tab switching compared to three 32″ curved monitors, with two 27″ vertical monitors sandwiching…

I see more and more people my age playing the “religious” card. People I grew up with that didn’t give a shit about it when I was a diehard Christian. I grew up going to school with a Bible in hand, at age 13 I preached my first sermon. Same age did my first piano…

Message from a friend today, noting that when asked, Einstein always stated that he believed in a “god” and put everything into his own perspective/context that put that supposed god into a non-rule-based context. It was full of euphoria, where the rules of the “Bible” didn’t really apply, and the god wasn’t really like what…

Just figured I’d compile a thread of the many, many reasons why I believe the way that I do. Memes galore below and will be updated as I encounter them. This was my first thought exactly before I ever even saw this MEME and decided to challenge my own agnostic approach and just go full…

I remember my first years of getting out of puberty, climbing out of the walls of a sheltered home in small-town life into society and learning to deal with the average peer. One of my first lessons was to be as basic as possible. “Laugh at everything.” You kind of had to learn the lingo…

I’m sure everyone has their side. Unfortunately, with politics, that “side” tends to blind people and their main goal in life is to reinforce their initial conclusions and run into the river and drown in it if they have to. Such dedication, but why? It could result from the way they were brought up, raised,…

Kinda crazy, the stuff you see from “Christians” these days. Back in the 70’s we were warned about this, but I have to digress and say that every phase of Christianity in general has had their times of hypocrisy. By its very nature it is derived from hypocrisy. God: “Thou shalt not kill.” God: “Abraham,…

I can’t tell you how many times, during a stressful situation, requiring immediate assistance from my Apple iPhone & iPad, where Apple Maps would not function correctly. In one dream that I had, I was in another state, my car broke down, and I was in the middle of nowhere, snow everywhere, riding a bike…
