Legal notice: this has nothing to do with anyone I know! It’s a fucking poem! The definition of disappointment is simple. It is a feeling we have when someone or something behaves in a way we did not expect, or do not like. Seems to me that disappointment arises when we start to believe that…

Life would be so much easier if it were not for people. They all try to conform to what is normal, but nobody knows what that is. I believe normal is this: people are strange. Many are often overly critical of others while giving themselves lots of leeway. Each one believes themselves to be the…

John and Paul were right. All you need is love. The Beatles, not the apostles. To know unbounded love must be heavenly. Love that does not limit, inhibit, or prescribe. Why do we struggle so with it? When we love someone, we want to change them, make them something else! This is not love, but…

Life! Just do it. Make stuff. Break stuff. Move, think, create, destroy. Experience pain and joy. Waste as little of it as possible. Our time is limited, don’t let others make it more so.

You and everyone you know will die. All the stuff you collect and surround yourself with will belong to someone else in the future or will be considered junk and tossed. This is a fact. We don’t think about this fact daily; sometimes, decades go by without considering this ultimate ending. It makes sense not…
