The Sacrificed
The Sacrificed Stop looking to the past for answers to school shootings. The ability to breathe has been taken away from me. That’s not a nod to the poetic, I have physically lost my breath, overwhelmed… again. wendel moretti — Pexels The smiles can only be seen in pictures, the joys of friendship are just…

Humans and Dark Matter
Humans and Dark Matter The root systems of higher functions Photo by Rakicevic Nenad from Pexels Most of us have heard the term dark matter, or dark energy. While most just check it off as science stuff, over the head, and the…

Gilligan
It’s been months since I visited this introspect development area. It’s not for reasons of neglect as much as growth, or change? I haven’t been able to decipher the answer to that yet, maybe that’s why I am here now on my walkabout? This look at the cast members that perform in my psyche, as…

Surrogates of Sexism
In a world of double standards, is the torch is being passed? Misogyny is going to be spoken of quite a bit over this election cycle. With the amount of women running for President at an all time high, the need for discertion and understanding will be necessary. That word will be brought out and…

Appropriation of Hate
An incident at a local college has stirred up controversy among those who picked up on something during the reporting. The incident apparently started with a student that has conservative views and a meeting of a group she was forming. It is said that someone took exception to her efforts and tried to hit her…

Salem Syndrome 2020
“You aren’t going to get the job… You’re going to go to prison… They’re going to kill me!” All of the self talk that has more than likely happened at least once in our lives. I myself can apply a few memories to those voices, but like anyone I know, I have thought those same…

Redux 2020
Candi-dates Here we are, about to start off another round of prognosticating, evaluations, and overall turd-throwing. The targets, candidates have already begun to line up, some declaring their need for sadistic disapproval officially, while others lie in wait for the eventual deluge of nastiness. It is a sickening submersion into the soup of psychotic shortcomings and…

They Didn’t Come for Our Guns
They will come for our guns, they will ban your right to protecting your way of life… The right has used that term and similar ones for decades. The fear of thy neighbor has always been the bootlace that ties all of the angst together. In an almost cult-like manner, the zombie voters of the…

Lemmings Don’t Get Mulligans
If there is one thing these last three or four years have proven… We don’t elect politicians, we elect head lemmings. There is a scale of gradual growth incline, one generation raising the next one up. That scale was lost somewhere in this digital age and a few generations were systematically, and sacrificially skipped, or lost.…

Russia and the White House
I went to a grade school in Seattle named John B Allen. It had and still does to this day an air raid siren mounted high atop a tower in its northwest playground’s corner. We used to hear it every now and then growing up, a ominous reminder to the past and an even scarier…

When There Comes a Time
I can feel it myself, the tinnitus like buzzing that is everywhere I go. I am acutely aware of the psychic pain that has been rubbed raw through the opening of old wounds. I am victim and I am perpetrator, I am the cause and the cure, and I along with millions must have their…

Surfing the Ugly
It struck me the other day, about the growing fungus of ugly that has encamped itself in daily life. The bigotry, the blaming, the hate and the fears are on display and in our thinking whether we acknowledge it or not. Not simply politics, but the nitpicking and untethered beliefs that drive most couples to divorce…

Rage at 5 and 11
I watch and listen as the Constitution is ignored and corrupted daily. Rage, fierce indignation and anger. Not the kind to do something stupid about, that would just be redundant. It is obviously long past the time for dramatic change in this country, there is no way that this is some kind of correct direction…

Pop Up Pompacity
From the state of intergenerational attitudes to the angst of the now, now, now brigades, the ugly is sure spewing out. In a progressive Seattle neighborhood the shouting down of others reached a crescendo during a moderated debate, a microcosm of one of the bigger pictures. Tribal mentalities and engagement pulling the most ill conceived…

The Cosby Effect
I have been watching the news on this for years, a confounding and resentful eruption of angst and intended justice gone sideways. Something that needed to be done, but nonetheless the manner in which it happened shook my civic foundational boots well before this abortion we have in the Oval Office took hold of the…

The Disquieting War
Yes, it is a sad fact about today that goes unnoticed, deemed not newsworthy. We are a nation with every passing day that goes carelessly deeper into oblivion. We are at war whether the sensibilities of one allows belief or not, a war it most certainly is. On this site, in my articles, I have…

Sex, Rights, and Standards
Well crud, I always get grief and a lot of shame when I bring this topic up. Yet, as I am going to have either a stent or bypass tomorrow morning, this is as good as any to try to jump the divide of observations. This is a very crunchy time in America, as are…

From One to Zero – Binary Bipeds
While pondering the word prompt “patience” from another page, the umpire-ical outlook on the natures of us that I tend to fall down took hold. As I examined my patience that existential door opened up a bit. I must be patient, because I, like many others in this society, in this world view, am still…

Just as It Is
There is a bunch of soul searching going on in the country today. Whether it is to escape from the everyday trappings or because of them, things are always moving and changing, defining and redefining. It is happening just the way it’s supposed to, whether good or bad, meaningful or indifferent, just as it’s supposed…

The Next World Order – Classes
One of the many areas of the world that will always be going through change is the classes of the population. At this moment some of those aspects are front and center and others are hidden rather well. From the Panama papers to the Wikileaks and every bit of hacking in between there are fewer…
