Another Thanksgiving in the books.
I didn’t feel like I ate that much, at least in my head…my stomach on the other hand had a different take on the situation.
Now the gateway to the Christmas season has been passed. Soon Sarah and I will be trying to remember what all the gifts on the 12 [...]

It seems that most people have a sense that we ought to be thankful for what we have.
What are the ramifications of this? Doesn’t thankfulness imply an intelligent mind to be thankful towards? What else should we express thankfulness towards if not someone? The universe? A collection of atoms [...]

These last two weeks have been hectic.
I was in Richmond this past weekend for a show, and have suddenly found myself inking part of an issue with the deadline being tomorrow. I’m enjoying it, but it’s a lot of work.
I do have a confession. I’m already listening to Christmas music. As fast [...]

It’s been hard getting into gear this week. After needed to take some time off from the coffeehouse I planned out my week, even making lists (which I never do.)

This has been a stressful week.
Juggling work schedules, fighting a cold, and a couple infuriating situations have knocked me down. I’ve cleared up my schedule a bit, and am trying to take it easy, but still get things accomplished. We’ll see how that unfolds.
Today I get to go to the post office. [...]

I have been politically silent online in terms of who I was voting for. And, I intend to remain so. But I will reflect a bit on this race now that the silly season is over:

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

I would just like to point out that the president of the United States was decided upon, and my state’s vote are not even in yet.
So, why did I bother?

Done. In and out in barely 10 minutes.
Where were the crowds? At Starbucks that’s where. All you suckers who got up early to wait in line to avoid the crowds…you guys were the crowds. Thanks for making it easy for me.
Before I went in to change the course of history with [...]

I dream of a day, let’s call it Wednesday, when politics will not be the foremost thing on everyone’s minds. This is assuming that the losing party does not erupt into violence and villainy. In that case, I’ll have to envision another day, perhaps a Friday, when we can all chance upon a [...]

Halloween came and went leaving me visited by a couple Darth Vaders, a jaguar (which I incorrectly guessed was a leopard and was corrected), a Frankenstein monster who I’m sure was in high school, and one girl that looked kind of like a prostitute but I’m sure was supposed to be a pop star.
