Mixed Salad of Thoughts. Friday, June 13, 2014. Can you just stop making choices? Can you just stop deciding? Can you just wither away like a plant unwatered?

Mixed Salad of Thoughts. Thursday, February 15, 2007. Communication: rules, laws, and frame. I've been having an interesting discussion with someone in regards to spirituality, religion and religious laws. It got me really thinking about the analogies of other things that are governed by laws and rules and how those rules can be bent, broken, or used, and to what effect. Here is a bit of that conversation. P-I'm saying that religion is a tool to access spirituality. P-Really, what's your view? In dance t...

Ruminations and observations from an urban gardener and knitter. Monday, June 25, 2007. I've been so busy doing stuff that I just keep putting off blogging. The more I put it off, the more anxious I get about how I'm going to post something really long. So, I'm just diving in tonight. Mark and my sister put together a surprise birthday party. It's fantastic. If you're interested in making freezer jam with honey or fruit juice as sweetener, this is the product to get. I don't know what I'll do about eggs ...

http://randomsaladthoughts.blogspot.com/2014/07/why-im-not-privileged-because-riles-up.html
Mixed Salad of Thoughts. Thursday, July 10, 2014. Why "I'm not privileged because." riles up so many. Why "I'm a white male and I am not privileged because." only indicates that you are and that you are unaware. People act as if white men get all this privilege but if you aren't a jock or you don't look a certain way you don't have any real advantage.". I'm discriminated against too. People look at me and they see an scrawny, nerdy white guy and they automatically make assumptions.". Being privileged doe...

Mixed Salad of Thoughts. Wednesday, February 09, 2011.
