Dragon*Con, baby! »

A year ago, a man embarked on a quest of self-discovery. Introverted, anxiety-ridden me decided to confront his demons and went to Dragon*Con by himself, one of the largest sci-fi/fantasy/pop-culture cons in the country. There, he braved the scourge of social anxiety and successfully defeated it. If by defeat one counts cowering in a corner [...]

Victim blaming bullshit »

Well, I found something to write about. Unfortunately, it’s something disgusting and vile. Britni wrote a blog post (It’s MY body) about being sexually assaulted in a club the other night, undoubtedly a very traumatic experience made worse by the fact that it was not the first time she has been a victim of it. It was [...]

What should I write about? »

Seriously, I have no idea and I’m completely unfocused. There are tons of things I want to pontificate on, but I can’t seem to break through the thought patterns that tell me that it’s all been said, much better than I can, by other people. So if there are still subscribers to this lonely feed [...]

Follow me at your own peril »

A friend of mine (@Joreth) posted the following as a series of tweets. It really resonated with me and is going to serve as a model for my standard disclaimer. if my opinions here insult or offend you, you’re better off not following me. I will not say anything here I wouldn’t say to your [...]

Profound Absurdity »

I left this comment on my friend Tall Penguin’s blog in response to her musings on the absurd nature of her life: Absurdity and over-the-top awesomeness seem to be major themes in my life right now, while simultaneously being incredibly profound and meaningful. All that stardust coalescing over billions of years has led to this? [...]

There are some very exciting sessions planned, and some of your favorite atheist bloggers, writers, and activists will be there — so be sure [...]

This is why I won’t sit down and shut up »

My 7 year old son was playing with a couple of neighbor kids, brothers, who apparently asked if he went to sunday school. My boy answered in the negative. When told that he was going to hell for not attending, he replied by informing them that he didn’t believe in hell. Which led to the [...]

Ignore the previous post »

Yeah, that’s right. Ignore it. Everything is fine. And dandy. Along with peachy and keen. So don’t sweat it, your conduit to the stuff falling out of my brain remains intact. Also, boys and girls, always remember:

RSS Feed Issues, aka dammit Google! »

I use Feedburner.com to manage my RSS feed. Those of you reading this in Google Reader or something similar will know what this means. Therefore, I’m only talking to you. The rest of you can go look at pr0n or something. Way back when, Google bought Feedburner. Also way back when, I became a lot [...]

I am disrespectful – Repost: Where I Stand »

This issue has recently come up again in my life. I feel it’s important to put out there once more where I stand. In short, people deserve respect, not ideas. Your belief in a supernatural being who rules the universe, but can’t be seen, heard, felt or in any way, shape or form empirically shown [...]
