Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: At Home in the Madhouse
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2008/04/at-home-in-madhouse.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Thursday, April 3, 2008. At Home in the Madhouse. I started my new job last week. I now work in a group home for substance-abusing individuals with co-occurring mental disorders. The overwhelming majority of them have schizophrenia, along with depression and post-traumatic stress - I have yet to see any bipolars, but I know that they are out there. I have one client who, more than the others, exhibits the classical schizophrenic symptoms of disorganized speech, a...

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: The View From Halfway Up the Mountain
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2008/02/view-from-halfway-up-mountain.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. The View From Halfway Up the Mountain. A little while ago now, I had a mystical experience. I 'saw' God. So even if you don't think my experience is real, pretend with me for a second. For me, the more important question is whether it was useful. Just like what I, at least, think is love, the important thing isn't whether it's real, but whether it's useful. Them, for quite a while, but definitely got bored with the repetition. Time pass...

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: An Appeal for Help
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2008/03/ive-recently-unwittingly-become.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Tuesday, March 18, 2008. An Appeal for Help. I've recently, unwittingly, become embroiled in an out-of-country dispute related to my religious community at large. As mentioned in a previous post, the Harabati Baba Teqe in Tetovo, Macedonia, is under siege by armed Sunni extremists, who want to bull-doze these grounds:. Never mind the fact that it recognizes Roman Catholics and Macedonian Orthodox, rather than just one 'Christian' community. Meanwhile, the Slavic,...

what i did today in new york city: April 2006
http://bethslack.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
What i did today in new york city. Saturday, April 29, 2006. Okay, don't judge me. [sigh] I seem to be saying that an awful lot lately. A sad, sordid state of affairs. Anyway, today I headed down to the 84th street Loews and took in "Stick It".a movie about gymnastics done by the people who gave us "Bring It On". Need I say more? Will she find the joy of competition? Final thoughts: The perfect Saturday afternoon flick if you secretly (or openly) enjoy gymnastics, and like lippy teenage girls. I am not s...

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: Fuck You Day
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2008/06/fuck-you-day.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Monday, June 9, 2008. It was eight years ago today that I was paralyzed. Eight years. A lot has happened, in those eight years; a great deal of growing up was done. Five of those years were some of the hardest living I've ever done, some near-constant struggle for sanity amidst a hell of a lot of seductive madness - to most of which, I gave in, because I'm not as morally strong as everybody seems to think I am. I seem. But it doesn't seem to help much, because I ...

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: Where Is My Mind?
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2010/08/where-is-my-mind.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. Where Is My Mind? In 1989, my father came and asked me how I felt about moving to England. Things that the boys there thought I should know about: the rules of American football, for example (I could tell you baseball - I liked baseball - but I never learned American football because I never played it). I was the proverbial stranger in a strange land, only I also didn't know all that much about my own. Then we moved again. To Minnesota.

Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking: Last Day At Work
http://ayin-daath.blogspot.com/2009/08/last-day-at-work.html
Spiritual Thoughts on Spiritual Thinking. Saturday, August 8, 2009. Last Day At Work. Today is my last day at work. Next week I have surgery, followed by two weeks of recuperation, and then graduate school, internships, a new chapter in my life begins. Just: not before I close this one. The last of these is the only thing I leave behind, now. The reason, interestingly enough, isn't the clients I've had. That healthy realism that I had meant that I brought no. What I didn't realize, and the reason which l...

What i did today in new york city. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. It's a bird.it's a plane.it's. The Slack family heading to a 3:50pm showing of "Superman Returns" on Friday afternoon. You can probably expect a glowing review from me on Saturday. Yes friends, tomorrow I am off to Ohio to visit my nephew, my family, and Bexley Pizza Plus. It should be an amazing trip, and I will actually be in Ohio for a week! So, make sure to go and see "Superman Returns", and I will write you from Ohio! Broadway under the stars.

what i did today in new york city: January 2006
http://bethslack.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
What i did today in new york city. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. The oscars are coming! The oscars are coming! Colin Firth will always have a place in my heart.but so will Matthew MacFadyen. Secondly.who knew the film "Crash" would have so many nominations. I hate to admit this (I do it sheeplishly).I never saw "Crash". It just didn't appeal to me. It's funny. People either LOVED this movie, or seemed to think it was pretentious crap. Well, I guess the jokes on them! Two must sees before the big event.

what i did today in new york city: July 2006
http://bethslack.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
What i did today in new york city. Monday, July 31, 2006. Quote of the day. Lance Bass is gay, and I for one am devastated. I am seeing a disturbing trend in the boys that I have crushes on. First, the one N*SYNC band member I like is gay.then, the cast member that I thought was cute from. Was referred to as their very own Liberace during a backstage internet tour. What is going on? I put this question to my co-workers. And it led to today's quote of the day. I totally should have become an accountant.
