  The Writers Curse

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i've begun to suspect this act - this will - this compulsory muse which i call "writing" is, in fact, the illusion of catharsis.

  like a mirage shimmering far off on the horizon i gaze upon the unreachable waters of a quiescent mind.

  and far too often i've trekked through these shifting sands of unrefined ideas and abrasive conclusions towards that placid falsehood.

  Thanks Zeb.

  Honestly I'm pretty much done with this whole weekend. It has gone on since Friday so it's been five days of boom, boom, boom and I'm kind of mixed up with them throwing in a workday on Monday.

  Lets move on America. LOL

  so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.

  it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.

  by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.

  If only this religion wasn’t The Truth.

  I agree with Giles. I am loving your story. The line you wrote above resonates so deeply with me. I cannot tell you how many times when I was in and stuck, I had that very same thought myself.

  To kill or not to kill

  by Chook in

  how many jws would kill a violent rapist in there home or protect their family with lethal means .

  the one thing i love about the usa is the right to defend oneself with lethal force in their own home.

  it's not that i want to kill someone but better them dead than my children..

  I dont carry. I am afraid of guns and my ineptness with them.

  My son is 6' 4 and 240 lbs. He looks like a moving wall but is very gentle and calm. HE carries.

  He says "ever notice how these public shooters (campus, nightclubs etc) are never found at a high school football game in Texas? Do you understand why that is?"

  Yes! I do understand, I just dont feel like I am a good gun handler.

  I do have two very aggressive big dogs.

  So far, so good.

  I Just Heard a Birthday Song...

  by Saename in

  so i'm sitting in public area, reading the end of faith (it's pretty clear sam harris is making a case against faith and not some generalized version of islam, so i don't get all those misplaced objections...), and i just heard a group of people sing a birthday song.. i was surprised.

  but not because someone was singing a birthday song.

  i was surprised because of my reaction.. i wish i could say my reaction was normal, but it wasn't.

  I still slip up and call it "the truth" which is an oxymoron if ever there was one.

  How long before I wont do that anymore?

  today represents for me something of a milestone.

  after breaking both bones in my lower left leg nearly four months ago, i am now able to walk without the aid of crutches.

  also, the orthopedic specialist has cleared me to once more drive a motor vehicle.

  did any of you attend the old school week long conventions?

  i have heard stories and it seems like these were mostly in the 70's and 80's before my time.

  i couldn't imagine.

  I was at the Atlanta convention (dont remember if it was 7 or 8 days) and I am vague on the year. I thought it was early 70s? I was a kid just running around with other kids so everything is pretty vague.

  The food was the best part. That should tell you something.

  What is your happy or comforting memory from your childhood?

  by MissFit in

  2. experiences

  when i think of my childhood i tend to organize my memories based on the houses i lived in.

  the house i remember the most was the house on the hill when i was 6. i can still picture it in my mind.

  it had a big porch with a porch swing.

  Mine is similar..

  I had a wonderful Grandfather and a fussy but good hearted Grandmother who took me away for a few weeks of wonderfulness every summer.

  No meetings, no praying, no list of what was wrong and that I shouldnt do...

  My grandmother worked afternoon shift as a nurse at the hospital, leaving my grandfather to entertain me. He liked to spend his afternoons fishing in the ocean with those long lines you cast from the beach.

  I would wander wherever my heart lead me, collecting shells and meeting other children, always ending up at the boardwalk for a snow cone my grandfather and given me a coin for.
  

  I remember feeling freedom then in the sun and the salty tang of the air.

  Back at home, my mom talked a lot about a paradise but my grandparents actually provided it.
