Roadie Dreams and Stranger Things, or Insights from a Curvilinear Mind. Lessons in Humility →. 50 Miles to Anywhere. September 16, 2014. I live in a small town now. Small enough that there are not a plethora of bookstores, and the majority of stores generally close by 7pm. It’s definitely odd. I run with wild turkeys and a vague threat of mountain lions, and I had quail move into my attic for a weekend. Did I mention odd? As I imagined–and in many cases, far more so:. For this “remarkable,” I...In the me...

I am publishing this as is. All errors result from a choice to write freely. A friend bemoaned the. The last phrase is particularly apt at the moment for me, though it has nothing to do with Williams’ death. And running alongside the shock on my Twitter feed is the abhorrently less shocking news: kids who can’t get home be...

Lent I: Giving Up, Giving In | Beautiful Disease

Roadie Dreams and Stranger Things, or Insights from a Curvilinear Mind. Lent II: Still Joy with Crows* →. Lent I: Giving Up, Giving In. February 18, 2015. I need to write. I need to write. I need to write. I guess that because I grew up within the Western Christian liturgical calendar, I tend to hit Lent with the feeling that I need to. Advent is the beginning. Lent is, among others, preparation (as is Advent, in truth). And it is often associated with (or practiced as, celebrated (? Having said that, I ...

With apologies to Tom Robbins. It is entirely possible that I will never get the final song. On the matter. I’m pretty sure I reference him every Lent). Or that other time? It’s not surprising that joy can come in lockstep with horror. That’s part of what Lent is preparing for, isn’t it? However much Easter looks to lift up in ...

Roadie Dreams and Stranger Things, or Insights from a Curvilinear Mind. Day One: Don Quixote in Academia →. The Ethics of Paradise. December 12, 2008. Sounds like one of those deeply etho-philosophical posts, doesn’t it? Eh, not so much. R and I were chatting the other day (poor man made the mistake of asking me what I thought of Chinese Democracy. The album)*–I don’t, whenever possible), which led me on to the merry path of the wonders of AFD. Which I had inflicted on the class). And, you know what?

Roadie Dreams and Stranger Things, or Insights from a Curvilinear Mind. Some of the Characters you will encounter:. Duff: Bass playing, badass hero. If you’ve read any of this at all, you know who he is. Otherwise…hang in, you’ll see. Avenged Sevenfold. Miracles do happen. ZV seems to come up most frequently, and Matt gets all the fangirling. Especially the curls. Walter Benjamin: German ethico-philosopher; ponderer of hashish, film, and fascism. Precursor to a certain kitsch-obsessed blogger. La Nut (Ag...

Roadie Dreams and Stranger Things, or Insights from a Curvilinear Mind. 50 Miles to Anywhere. Lent I: Giving Up, Giving In →. October 11, 2014. I’m told that when something keeps happening I need to listen. Repetitions of numbers, song lyrics, etc. Certainly this has been true of many major changes in my life–especially the lyrics. Thank you, “Unholy Confessions” for the role you played in 2010. For almost a whole month. Two lines. Over and over and over. Ah, right, patience. Humility. I forget so easily.
