    Replace all filler words with the word "DOOMED"

    Thinking with your heart

    I have thankfully gotten back on track for exercising. One of the ways I pass time while on the ellipticals is to get my heart rate nice and steady. Then I start thinking, maybe doing math problems or daydreaming or thinking about work and watching my heart rate increase. I was curious if...

    The fun pet behavior

    I have an Congo African Gray, named Hercules. I didn't name but a girl at the store I got him at did saying that she was having a bad day and that she got to name him. There was more meaning in Hercules though not specifically for me than I could come up with in a new name. So he kept his old...

    Remembering Wonderment

    I think one of the greatest things is to be walking in a familiar place and be surprised with something of incalculable beauty.

    Difference between being an artist and a propagandist?

    From wikipedia: In one of the campfire scenes late in the 2007 documentary Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten, a Granada friend states that Joe wept when he heard that the phrase "Rock the Casbah" was written on an American bomb that was to be detonated on Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War.

    I learned I was INTP long ago, confessedly with mixed feelings. So much easier knowing I was different, perhaps even alien. The idea enraptured me as a child and I privately wondered how the aliens altered the unborn child that was to become me. I nursed a hope that they wouldn't leave me on...
