Creative ‘Solutions’
What is something others do that sparks your admiration? What I admire is the creative solutions people find for our daily trials, troubles, and tribulations… While some are much better solutions than others (pragmaticly), I applaud everyones’ creative attempts … often, the only ‘sanity’ evident in our insane social constructs, castes, classes, hierarchies of injustice…

Cartoonish…
What’s your favorite cartoon? My favorite(?) cartoon is the one I witness daily… ‘modern life on planet earth’… Yes, I know, I’m supposed to take our zeitgeist seriously, but when I look at the ridiculousness of our daily lives in this ‘modern world’, I can’t help but chuckle (that is, when I’m not feeling just…

We are fitted into…

What are your feelings about eating meat? It’s complicated. I grew up in a ‘meat and potatoes’ household. Meat was part of almost every meal … That seems like a lifetime ago. Over the years, I kept hearing and reading how ‘red meat’ in particular, with all its hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives, was more detrimental…

In Reality … All And None …
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? In Reality … All And None … Off the top of my head, I’d have chosen my decisions to not fight my exes in their bids to be rid of me. Not to fight the outrageous child support garnishments of my meager wages, that left…
