Phase one is done. Peeling the Onion is live and ready for your eyeballs. Both ebook and print editions are up and ready. This one was a shocker for me, I wrote it so long ago and going back to it on the edit was like reading it anew. I think it is one of… Continue reading Peeling the Onion Launch

Why do Dogs Have to Die?
Dogs, something simple. It should be something simple. How do they get so deep into us? Every dog I have ever owned has left a deep mark on me in its passing. I have a heart full of wagging tails. Why do dogs have to die? Why can they not live as long as we… Continue reading Why do Dogs Have to Die?
On Writing – My Phases
In my last post on writing “Recovering from Failure” I really dug into my thoughts on writing and my new-found love for it. I guess this post will be more of that but also kind of an explanation on what I have come to think of as my new phase of writing. Going back and… Continue reading On Writing – My Phases
Dog spelt Backwards is God
I don’t know if that title is right, because they aren’t God’s in that they don’t demand worship or sacrifice. They don’t condemn humans to Hell and they would never demand us be subservient to them. They love us like a God would. The Christian New Testament God where he’s all forgiving and shit. That… Continue reading Dog spelt Backwards is God
Recovering From Failure
The title is a little dramatic, “failure” is a strong word. But I am returning to something I had given up on. This time it feels different, it feels right. It feels less dark and less tied to my self worth. I’m talking about my writing, I used to write, like a lot. I spent… Continue reading Recovering From Failure
Self Hosting Video Content
I don’t like monopolies. I don’t like single points of failure. I don’t like giving corporations control. I don’t like YouTube. Those are reasons I started looking at how to host and distribute my own video content. Don’t get me wrong, YouTube is an amazing platform. Being able to upload and share virtually unlimited video… Continue reading Self Hosting Video Content
Slow Progress is Still Progress
“I have let myself go,” I said out loud to an empty apartment. My wife was out, the dog was asleep and I was staring in a full length mirror at someone I no longer recognized. I used to be fit, really fit. I would run marathons, go rock climbing twice a week, paddle for… Continue reading Slow Progress is Still Progress
Voluntaryism – anarchy for all
Something I struggle to understand is why everyone needs to be told what they can and cannot do. Why everyone wants to simultaneously be told what to do and tell others what they can do. Why people feel the need to impose their will on others yet can’t even think for themselves. It sounds harsh… Continue reading Voluntaryism – anarchy for all
Never work for Nothing – Value your Skills
I will start this out by saying that it does not go against the utopia vision I presented in my podcast “Systems of Power: I’m Alive”. When I say don’t work for nothing I am not talking about acts of compassion or kindness or goodness. I have spent countless hours helping people with websites, computers, chores, moving etc. I love helping people and I expect nothing in return.
Apocalyptic Fitness – Training for the End Time
My goals with this plan were motivated by my need to lose weight and regain strength, a need further fueled by my increasing belief that we are seeing the slow collapse of civilization.
