Well, I finished the Fit Juice Trilogy, and I’m determined to juice as many days a week as possible. This is juice as in vegetables, not juice as in steroids, for those of you late to the party. I recommend the books to anyone who is looking for a good primer and a collection of recipes. I’ll break the review… Read more »
I had a pair of fairly disturbing dreams last night, one close to morning that woke me up. It’s interesting how the brain can remember people you haven’t seen or thought of since you were a kid — one of the dreams was about a kid from the street I grew up on, and the kid didn’t live there long….

I am extremely happy lately. There are blips here and there of things that make me unhappy, but mostly, I’m in a fantastic mood. Moreso outside of work, but hey, that’s one place where I’m forced to be around people who may or may not be damaging my calm.
I don’t have a lot of real enemies in life, but it’s easy to construct one in my head of a person who has (even unintentionally or unknowingly) wronged me. Someone who has slighted me. It’s easy, really easy, to imagine that this person is somehow responsible for an ill in my life and therefore they are my enemy. When… Read more »
I’ve had an interesting relationship with the “manosphere” (a term I’ve come to loathe) — initially, when I came across it, I was enthralled with the idea. Finally, people who are outraged about the same stuff I am, and aren’t necessarily nutty political hacks. It was refreshing to say the least. My introduction came through the post Welcome to the… Read more »
Over at Danger and Play there is a great article and discussion about self defense and situational awareness. I’ve commented quite a bit there, but have some expanded thoughts. People tend to fall into one of two categories: Pack animals or herd animals, and there is a difference. The two victims in that video are herd animals. They’re just kind… Read more »
Saturday and Sunday I was very industrious. I planted a bunch of stuff in the yard and started what could be our best attempt at a garden yet (okay, and our first attempt). I’ve picked some stuff out that is also going to help with privacy with regards to our annoying neighbor (hi Mister Stares Over Here), too. Monday morning… Read more »
The Passing of a great man. $174,000 a year isn’t enough for the millionaires in Congress. Yeah. Right. I hope someone runs against him this year and nails him to a tree with this bullshit. A review of the Testosterone Black Book Why should the woman get everything? Because sexiss. Pushing back against the bullies. I’m writing this post in… Read more »
More fit shaming. This time by a government employee (well, sort of, I think — since there’s single payer…) All Men Should Own a Gun. Groupthink about Trayvon. Of course.
Negotiating While Stupid. Of course she was rejected for being a woman; it has nothing to do with the fact she’s asking for a) more money and b) less work (and a lot of time off) right out of the gate. Obama is a big joke internationally. Bush may have said words wrong, but at least he wasn’t a joke…. Read more »
