I really would love to grow my own food. It’s THE right thing to do. I believe all of us should grow our own food, and I want to do the right thing for the Earth and sustainability and my own personal health and budget. Honestly. I don’t want to have to buy it at [...]

“Given that eating animals is in no way necessary for most people, should we?” Well, I don’t know what I was thinking having both a happiness attempt AND reading more about food. I feel so trapped underneath the weight of the way we do food in this country, this world. The fact that (until I [...]

This may sound insane and scary to other people, but I bet Chris understands it. I am doing a decent job of my happiness project, but it results in a disorganized scattering of waaaay too many notebooks and scraps of paper and Post-It notes. The problem is, even though I carry a zillion things with [...]

I have been trying aaaaaallll sorts of things to become a happier, more positive person. Some work, some don’t. Whatever. Now for the venting… One of the most revelatory things I have learned (and really do believe) is that each person has a happiness threshold that they were basically born with.

I thought it was just taking awhile (postmen looking it over first or something), but turns out… First off, they never told anyone about it. WTF is that about? We didn’t KNOW we weren’t going to receive it, so we [...]

Best parents award goes to: The people that sat in front of us in Clerks II. They brought their 5 year old who sat mesmerized through a movie in which every 3rd word is “fuck,” whether ass-to-mouth is okay is argued, “porch monkey” is used as an opener for the use of a dozen other [...]

When we were at Wal-Mart last night (yes, we suck from the devil’s teat), we could hear music and singing as we shopped, but didn’t think too much about it. Then, as we moved closer to the front of the store, near the clothes, the music got louder; the singing more dramatic. And then we [...]

NOT, contrary to all evidence, Dead. I just go thru stages of not wanting to be online. So there.

As I was driving to work today, a clear blop of something landed on my windshield and I thought, “What was that? Could it be bird pee? Do birds pee?” No one I know has ever gone “Aw, man! I just got smacked by bird pee!” So I looked it up. And birds do NOT [...]
