Month: December 2015

Don’t let the door hit you

…On the way out, 2015.

What a year of highs and lows it has been! At the start of the year, I felt like I had given up on myself, my health, my career, hell, even leaving my apartment. I’d lost the motivation to keep trying. But, I’m very happy to say that even though things are far from ideal now, they’ve gotten a LOT better and keep getting better. I’m feeling pretty good about what 2016 might bring.

Do your dreams ever spill over into your waking morning?

Just woke up from a dream where I was drinking a lot, like until I felt sick, and I feel so hungover?!? Wtf?! (I did not drink last night)

Or at least a saging

Ugh I think the multiple steroids are making me hallucinate, or at least see the… things… I normally feel around my bedroom at night but don’t quite see. I want an exorcism.

Cats > People

It’s a good thing I’m allergic to cats, because otherwise, I wouldn’t even bother with humans.

Maybe not this mildly creepy psychopomp cat though

 

Ouch

Whelp. Just got a couple of cortisone and at least 15 lidocaine injections in my neck, shoulder and shoulder blade. Hopefully this does the trick and stuff stops hurting or at least hurts less soon. I honestly can’t even remember what it feels like to not be in pain, but I’m gonna try to have some faith.

Fundamentalism

“Fundamentalism is always a tragedy. It is not religious, it lacks God, it is idolatrous.”

That it’s so remarkable to see a Pope denounce the literalism and extremism that is so prevalent today, only speaks to how distorted Christianity has become in the last < 200 years. This is not the culmination of 2,000 years of theology — it’s an about-face from the understanding of religion as mythos, as parables — that may have happened once but also happen all the time — intended to help people understand how to be good and kind. It’s a terrible shame that “Christians” refuse to take a long look at those words in red and try to model their behavior after the prophet they claim to believe in.
