Seneca, Moral Letters, 28.7.1 One of the strangest phenomenon I have witnessed and experienced as a human being is the propensity to choose to be in a romantic... Continue Reading →
ignorantia neminem excusat: ignorance excuses no one
I came across this song the other day, "A Letter To Everyone Who's Hurt Me," and it really struck a chord. I mean really.

The Book Project
So... I'm writing a book. It's an autobiography... Honest, sometimes darkish, sometimes lightish, telling my story, the big long beautiful ugly beautiful story of my brokenness. That's happening and has kind of been happening for several months now. If you look at the pages up there in the menu bar above these words, you'll see... Continue Reading →
