A More Sustainable Lifestyle?
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? What does that even mean in this age of powerlessness and poverty for the many and unconscionable wealth and power for a psychopathic few; of uncertainty, exploitation, and existential dispair? This prompt (to me) smacks of naive denialism. But to attempt…

Self Care?
How do you practice self-care? Self Care? Well, I started to ‘self-care’ early on in life, though, to my knowledge, no one called it that then. I was pretty much a ‘loner’ in school from elementary on. Since I didn’t ‘hang out’ with friends (or really have any), wasn’t in any social clubs, wasn’t on…

A Matter of Perspective
How do you waste the most time every day? Well, I’m sure that many would consider most of my daily activities ‘wastes of time’.

If Push Comes To Shove…
List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? Way too many to count. Reading was a problem for me until Jr. High School. It was a combination of just poor eyesight and slight youthful dyslexia. But, I was always interested in stories. My parents used to read to us when I was…

Plugged In? … What Foolishness Abounds…
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? I remember the early days of the internet. I belonged to many what were called ‘Bulitinboards’ and early ‘Chatrooms’. I thought, hoped that the ability to communicate with people all over the world was exciting and would lead…

What jobs have you had? My Career as a Wage-slave I started wage-slaving at the age of 10. My dad took me with him as his ‘go-for’ in his plumbing and heating business. He later branched out into remodeling and roofing too, which I also learned and worked at off and on in hard times…
