My life is surreal. I’d explain it but being it’s surreal, I can’t. It’s like describing Dali. How does one describe him? Genius or fucked up?
I managed to pull up from my bottomless pit of agony. I think I edged insanity. It’s been a long time since I’ve walked those woods. I apologized and do [...]

“We all need to look into the dark side of our nature – that’s where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we’re busy denying.” ~ Sue Grafton
38 Years Toward Freedom
Posted in Diary, tagged birthday, freedom, growth, happiness, transcendence on August 10, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I’ve made a pact with myself to always write a What I’ve Learned type of essay on my birthday.
Last year was difficult. Not only in number for some reason but I was going through a lot of personal turmoil, most of which was secluded among a very small group of people. Without them, in their [...]
Free Will’s Price Tag

…throughout all my experiences, I’ve learned this—free will is a gift with a price tag, and whatever you choose to do you’re going to pay, but how much you’re going to pay is really dependent on you.” (source)

Atheist Intolerance
Posted in Diary, Ethics/Morality, Lies-Stupidity-WTF, Uncategorized, tagged atheism, education, Ethics/Morality, family/kids, freedom, religion on June 12, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I just hate getting into religion but it’s everywhere. I’m tolerant. However, it irks me when I witness my child being taught to say grace during lunch at her day care. The “thank you” poem was rather sweet and I find nothing wrong with teaching children gratitude. However, why does gratitude always need God attached [...]
Huf Island: Eutopia
Posted in Diary, Inspiration, tagged love, freedom, architecture/design, Huf Haus, eroticism, dream board on June 7, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m quite sure I’d read the fine print before I signed but I could offer my soul for this unique lifestyle, “life in harmony”, as sold by the Huf family. I’ve been in this house. Harmony is an understatement. Eroticism and freedom reside there: it’s Eutopia.

Rather than commenting to Mrs. Cynthia Logan’s comment on my blog post, Make the Jump, Vermont, I’d rather direct my readers to what has been an interesting discussion at The Legal Satyricon about it. If you don’t know, Mrs. Logan wishes to change laws after her 18 y/o daughter committed suicide for being bullied about [...]

Rarely am I truly proud of a piece I’ve written. This is one I feel should be spread as far and wide as beautiful minds dare to go.

The Bus Room Frisk

What would a logical bus room be like? I wonder. What if your kid compared the bus room to a Nazi concentration camp?
In my daughter’s school, kids have to wait up to over an hour in a room until their bus arrives, sadly because the county is short on funds like all school systems but also [...]
Radical America on School Safety & Political Correctness

Oh I think if I don’t rant this morning I’m going to blow up. My happy state from yesterday ended way too quickly but hopefully my sarcasm will humor somebody. If not, come back tomorrow. I have got to get into the sheer stupidity I’m seeing around me otherwise I’m going to drive my husband [...]
On “Obama” Day

My husband begins his new job today. I’ll be signing my life away on a contract for a house (it was a fight but we got it) and we get a new president at the same time. Today is a good day. Personally and politically we’ve got hope as we get rid of the “dope” and [...]
Free Speech and Your Brain on the “Porn Drug”
Posted in Ethics/Morality, Science, Sexual Philosophy, tagged addiction, freedom, neuroscience, photography, pornography, sexual politics, sexuality on December 31, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Can addiction to pleasure really exist? I know that any addiction is bad particularly when it affects “normal” daily life. However, wouldn’t addiction to pleasure mean that under the surface one is just using escapism out of reality? But, don’t we all find ways to escape from reality, i.e., happy hour, dancing, sex, t.v., movies, [...]
The Expat Years: Death of an Ornamental Life
Posted in Diary, Expat views, Life Wisdom, tagged family/kids, freedom, Germany, growth, happiness on December 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »
For months I pondered how I’d write my final chapter of “The Expat Years”. Being the entire adventure was never fictional, I knew I’d have to wait to see how it would turn out before I could write it.
I toyed with the traveler’s approach, the human interest slant, the American vs. the German view or [...]
Straight, Gay or Bi: Government wants to know

The Office of National Statistics in Britain plans to provide questionnaires about people’s sexual identity, whether or not they are heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual.
It gets better:
“Future studies could also ask Britons if they have had sex swaps or are “undergoing the process of gender reassignment”.
Though the intent (hahaha), according to Karen Dunnell, the National Statistician, is [...]

This is a tough call. On the one hand, we’ve got Obama living up to the inclusion promise. On the other, couldn’t there have been a less radical choice?!
Rachel Maddow’s take is worth one’s time to view, courtesy of Fourth Wave Feminism blog, which also has a link to sign a petition for those interested.

How Feminists Can Improve the Porn Industry

Feminism drives me crazy. Truthfully, the more feminist stuff I read the more I get stirred into falling for how women never seem to get treated right, how they’re always second class despite all of feminism’s efforts, objectified and ”abused” and then I unconsciously start bashing men, which is usually when I realize I’ve fallen for feminist indoctrination [...]
