I read somewhere once, that Left and Right came to be because a few hundred years ago during political discussions in France, people tended to automatically sit on the left or right side of the room depending on their beliefs.
People who are left-brained tend to be right handed, sleep on the right side of the [...]

Did you know your pre-desposition to be Left or Right, politically, is written into your brain? It’s all about left vs right brain dominance – except we got it backwards, the political Left is right-brained, and the political Right is left-brained. Left brain is analytical, calculating, profit motivated, and “male”. Right brain is intuitive, caring, [...]

Since it’s Thursday, I may as well start.
This is an old dream, but I haven’t posted it publically, and I think it provides great insight into my state of mind at the time.
I am canoeing or kayaking on a swamp with now ex friends. The swamp is expansive and open like an ocean, but the [...]

This episode made me cry. I watched it again immediately after the first time, I was just stunned.. How did they manage to pack so much powerful imagery and wonderful metaphors into a 20 minute animation? I would love to know how conscious the writers are of these elements in the work.
I spoil the [...]

I went through and deleted a lot of useless or silly posts. I thought they were drowning out the posts that are good or that I am proud of.
While I was doing that I found a draft I meant to post a long time ago, but I put it aside for formatting and forgot about [...]

“Tell me the truth, Frank – remember that? We used to live by it. And you know what’s so good about the truth? Everyone knows what it is however long they’ve lived without it. No one forgets the truth, Frank. They just get better at lying.”
I decided to go see the movie Revolutionary Road [...]

I originally posted this on facebook. I got some very positive responses from people who could relate to my experiences, so I thought I’d post it in public.

This stuff is still far to painful for me to discuss in public. But I thought it would be helpful for others to write about it here. it [...]

When I was 15, I went through a pretty terrible breakup with my then-girlfriend, and instead of supporting me, my parents left for a vacation.
I was alone in the house, and I took a massive overdose of psychiatric drugs. I took anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, and tranquilizers and washed them down with alcohol I had [...]
