I’m of a belief that romantic activity is meant to be private. This isn’t out of some degree of prudishness or anything. I’m not offended by what other people might discuss of their private lives or their sex lives or whatever, that’s their prerogative. Just don’t expect me to join in. I can’t help but […]

I have to admit that this month’s theme was a problem for me. The only thing I could come up with when presented with “Instant Gratification” was a ridiculous rant about how the instantaneous nature of modern technology has actually degraded interpersonal interactions and society at large. What interested me instead was a dichotomy of […]

In honor of this month’s theme, and also due to my complete lack of anything cohesive to write at the moment, I’m going to channel my inner stand-up comedian and share some random observations: This country is going to default on the national debt.

In my experience, everyone who identifies themselves as an atheist tends to have some kind of negative experience with organized religion that makes the individual say “Forget it.” In my case there was no such epiphany.
