Andreaspeak: GREEN DOESN'T ALWAYS STAY GREEN
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010/02/green-doesnt-always-stay-green.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 14 February, 2010. GREEN DOESN'T ALWAYS STAY GREEN. In mild regret. Apparently he was her favorite. He was green when I got him. He’s not green anymore. And this despite all evidence of my trying: a special bulb for a special bird-light in a special big cage with special food, sun as much as possible and always fresh water. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an adaptation to trauma - an attempt by an agile mind to make order out of chaos. Last night my son told me abo...

Andreaspeak: February 2010
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 21 February, 2010. Phew Now that I’ve joined everyone and no one, I’ll wish myself ‘Happy Birthday’ and get ready for the party. My children are coming over and I need to get out of my pajamas and put on some socks. 19 February, 2010. MUST BE THE WRONG QUESTION. Sometimes I think the concept of God was invented by humans so when we’re on our knees, fist to the sky – roaring 'Why me? Synonyms: bitty, disconnected, discrete, disjointed, fractional, incoherent, part, partial, ...

Andreaspeak: April 2010
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 13 April, 2010. IT'S OVER. (Megaesophagus). Xerxes is dead,. And I authorized his murder. I could have easily chosen something else. We can do that if we want. Say we want something. And make it happen. Our species can decide things. That are not things that can be decided. I did not do this. What I did do. Is what I ‘can’t’ do. And the sheer searing of it. Is ripping through my body. Xerxes is dead now. It was me that decided. To break my own heart. To live in pain. In my ...

Andreaspeak: December 2010
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 17 December, 2010. DOCUMENTARY: Living After Rape. The Strangest dream last night moves towards a reality today! I am no longer just hoping for participation because participation is happening. We are no longer hoping to start the process of making the Documentary: Living After Rape. WE ARE MAKING the Documentary: Living After Rape. There isn’t a day that goes by, nor, in all honesty, a half-day, an hour, and unfortunately not. In my continued effort to actualize this film,...

Andreaspeak: February 2009
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 12 February, 2009. From Awe to Hierarchy? It does, however, give rise to a philosophical rant that leads me right to the same flaws in our world I was exploring from the peak of my physical prowess almost thirty-five years ago. What is it about our species that makes us want to be on top? And from this exultant place, instead of wanting to share it, why do we place others way down at the bottom? Hierarchy, as a core structure for our social world (our parenting, our written...

Andreaspeak: JUST A DAY
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010/02/just-day.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 18 February, 2010. Like when Alexander had his '… no good, horrible, very bad day …'. We’d be right where we wanted to end up. Back then it seemed like some cosmic rightness in the world. Today, feeling lost going less than three miles from my house has me questioning my right to foot space on the planet. Unless they were wearing the mantle imposed on them by random events that most people want to scapegoat away into some arena that makes dealing with them unnecessary?

Andreaspeak: POINT OF ORIGIN
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010/03/point-of-origin.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 07 March, 2010. It's not that often that a major left turn in a life-story starts with a stolen, antique, cast iron, three hundred and fifty pound, claw-foot tub. Theoretically anyway, the statistic could hover below the 1 percent possibility point. And yet, the theft of this tub (not just any old bathing receptacle but a genuine art object, labored on (by me) for a full three weeks) has catalyzed just this. I'll put it to you, dear reader. Can you imagine stealing my b...

Andreaspeak: 'WHY?' MUST BE THE WRONG QUESTION
http://andreaspeak.blogspot.com/2010/02/why-must-be-wrong-question.html
Of an interactive storyteller. 19 February, 2010. MUST BE THE WRONG QUESTION. One of the reasons I love words is this somehow-beautiful-to-me in its futility fantasy that if we can meet another human with a truly known and shared wellspring of vernacular, it will span all distances of perspective. The bridge I imagine could change the world. In the meantime though it’s the trying. I have a lot of ‘WHY’s inside me. But I absolutely know that the ‘why’s’ I seek will never ...We have to flip the frame on th...
