Turn Turn, Turn: the Phantom Ex
Okay, again, my heart is pounding, and again, I am off balance, trying to sooth my trembling hands… I’m not one to go around asking for advice. I’m usually only giving it, but I just might need some insight from my Facebook friends. I just found a message on my phone from…..GUESS WHO? The Ex. The one who wrote that inscription to me, and the the one that I suppose is at the root of all this crap with Becky Haynes. It’s surprisingly nerve-wracking to hear the voice of a person you were in love with over a decade … Continue reading →
Turn, Turn, Turn
{reposted from Facebook} I just had a really unsettling experience. I’m trying right now to just calm my thumping heart, and take a breath. One thing that is no secret about me, is that I don’t have many secrets. I am pretty open. I have to be, because I am a creative person who produces creative material. But I don’t pretend that I’m so special that i don’t have a day to day life with day to day struggles and victories that i wish to share with those in my life. Nor do I pretend that human nature is always … Continue reading →
Leaving no Pebble Unturned
So one day after this long dry desert of sexual activity, i finally had sex again. And as a joke, i put a glass pebble in this tall tubular jar. Then another one, each time I had sex again. And another. I was dating a very enthusiastic young woman. So after there were about 40 pebbles in the jar, i was feeling rather studly and my self-esteem got a much needed boost. So i kept putting pebbles in the jar each time. By the time I had booted the sex-hungry young woman for her pathological lying, i had about 84 … Continue reading →
Father Furniss & Jesus Camp
Excerpt from Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology by Kelli Jae Baeli Available February, 2011 Father Likes the Furniss “We are the pure and chosen few and all the rest are damned. There’s room enough in Hell for you— we don’t want Heaven crammed.” ~from an old saying of smug Jehovah’s Witnesses A popular booklet for children in the late 19th century was authored by Father John Furniss, an English priest who wrote “books for children.” But his material will never share the same shelf as The Velveteen Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland, or Winnie the Poo. That’s because Furniss delighted … Continue reading →
Stick Buggin’ in the Grocery Store
It’s no secret that I am a student of human nature. I enjoy watching people and trying to understand them. Sometimes this understanding is predicated on experiments. I call that Stick-buggin’. It’s like when a child pokes at an insect with a stick, to see what it will do… Once, in a grocery store, I was ruminating to some friends about how people have certain boundaries, and that I like to cross them to see what they’ll do. They wanted an example. So I took a lady’s basket. She turned and said “Hey! That’s my basket!” I stopped and said, … Continue reading →

What Money Can Buy
I was at the store, returning some merchandise and then grabbing a few things while I was there. When i checked out, I used two gift cards, expecting to still pay a remainder in cash, since I had bought three shirts. I was pleased to see that the bill was not as high as I expected, and then started for the door. halfway there, I noticed the shirts were still draped over the basket, but they had been right there in plain site of the cashier. As I neared the security device, I thought Well, if these were not paid … Continue reading →
Comment on "Blogs aren’t legit Writing" article
In my periodic Google search on my name, i found this comment which i forgot about: Allena’s Freelance Writing Bloghttp://freelancewrite.about.com/b/2008/03/23/blogs-arent-legit-writing.htmBy Allena Tapia, About.com Guide to Freelance Writing “Blogs Aren’t Legit Writing”Sunday March 23, 2008I recently had a couple readers forward me a small rant from someone stating that blogs aren’t legitimate writing. This person indicated that blogs were basically a way for people to see their name in print, and nothing else. I think this was the attitude of “if anyone can do it, than it’s not legit.” The thing is, everyone can blog. But, everyone cannot blog well. What … Continue reading →
Independence Night for Phylum Annelida Luminaria
Very few people are privy to all the mysteries that surround us. I was not only witness to one tonight, but managed to capture photos of it. In my usual evening walk around the golf, course, I heard the familiar crack of fireworks, now familiar since hearing them from inside the house all evening. It made me feel like a reporter in Baghdad. Now, i turned to see the display, and immediate caught site of swiftly moving objects from the trees and the ground beneath the Independence Day light show. These “glow worms” began to appear closer to me, increasing … Continue reading →
