Sex & Jobs

This is far from scientific, but after watching this interview (see below) I wandered into my own life as a genetic/evolutionary being. I have a mental disability (I should look into the evolutionary principles behind mental illness) which I continually question and wonder about. I’m also unable to work in[…]

Mental Health

The latest van attack in Toronto on April 23, 2018 was no doubt evocative of similar attacks in Nice, France (July, 14, 2016) and Berlin, Germany (December 19, 2016). But it was also evocative of the Charlottesville, Virginia car attack in 2017. While the motives of the Toronto van attack[…]

Liberty!

I’m not at liberty to disclose a lot of what the meat of the matter is in this note, but I continue hoping that you’ll trust i’m not lying, or at least not wilfully misleading anyone. I feel it somewhat cruel to divulge everything for various factors. Possibly, I might[…]

Marketing -101

I’m writing this post with all the modern aides of the internet turned off. I’m hoping this allows me to represent myself more honestly than with the use of a thesaurus, dictionary and the wealth of finger tip information afforded through cyberspace.

A Mind Filled with Thoughts

I have to address this tumult that makes itself known whenever atheism is mentioned. For five years, I’ve had some low lows and some high highs. Atheism had the least to do with it among all factors. Though, without doubt, atheism has become synonymous with my personal brand, and I’m[…]

Angles

I’m asked “How’s that book?”.  I’m carrying Chris Hedges’, ‘When Atheism Becomes Religion’. Two days before, I was told that books on that subject are really just arguing semantics. My reply to the question, “I only read the first few pages. He seems to agree with me on some main[…]

First Post

  “I am worried that this will turn out cheesy. But I promised myself I would post it, no matter what. Why? I am doing this blog mostly for myself. I got something to say about atheism or maybe something to repeat. I am an atheist – if that isn’t clear so far. But I hate[…]
