Jumping Off The Double Masectomy Cliff.

There are times in life when I have been convinced I am down the rabbit hole and running around in an insane nightmare where people's disturbing behaviour is only trumped by the mass acceptance of it all as normal.

Angelina Jolie has had both her breasts removed because she does not want to die of…

I Was Up And Running This Morning.

Had to get down to a Government Office first thing this morning and let me just say ... when that happens you have to be up, shower and shaved and perfumed and coiffed well in advance of the opening hour. I have to say that when your government can't figure out what time their offices open ... it does not leave one with an…

Why Male Peacocks are More Peacockier.

I like nature. When you grow up on a farm with grandparental units they tend to relate all life to nature. It makes it much easier to have difficult conversations which I suppose you have to give them credit for broaching tough subjects ... (more …

Second Life Retrospective - Interviews from Past Members No.3 Bella Gutierrez.

I had originally thought I might not share this interview as Bella is still sometimes in SL. Had this been an anonymous posting I might have stuck with that decision. I am trying not to censor these in any way and as I thought about it, I find it interesting that she considers herself as having…

Powerful Video "This is Water."

David Foster Wallace's excerpt from a speech given to Kenyon College's 2005 graduating class that has been made into this amazing video is worth watching again and again.

We decide the world we live in. We make judgements about people and situations every day in our lives that are simply a choice for the narrative that makes up the story of our…

It's True Nature Teaches Us So Very Much.

Yesterday I saw a posting about a "pet" bird. It is a bird that lives in the wild here in Australia which of course means that someone, somewhere decided they should fly it across the ocean, probably clip its wings and put it in a bird cage to spend its life ... oh of course except for the times when it gets to sit on its owner shoulder…

Vision ... And Why Men Have None.

We have two little turtle doves that show up every morning and sit on the fence over the pool so they appear like a framed picture in the middle of the middle pane of our big bay window in the family room. They sit there cuddling, framed by the magnificent greenery and hills that are our back yard. (more …

Too Much Information.

Parents Today Have Things So Much Easier.

This is a new story in the line of "I had to walk 3 miles to school each day - barefoot in the snow - uphill both ways ..." because I think after you tell that 400 times the kids kind of tune you out. I could be wrong on this but I think that is what the eye rolling and fingers in their ears signify. (more…

Blinded By The Light.

My brother destroyed the lyrics to Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light." He ran around the house in his underwear singing "blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche ...."

How many ways can you explain that the only "douche" in the room was him??? It took us years to get him to stop saying "penis" when…

Second Life Retrospective - Interviews from Past Members. Colby Pevensey.

We have all heard the rumours, we have all been part of the discussions about the cliques, about the nastiness, the scheming . . . but there is not always proof and often those who dare to raise the question, or dare to take on established personalities ... pay for it. Being as Second Life is a choice we make on how to spend our…
