A Rant For You

What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? Does it matter? Should we give any thought to anything beyond ourselves? Why should we trust anyone but our own selves? What is there beyond what we see? Are there hopes, dreams, possibilities beyond what we can ken at this moment? Is there hope beyond [...]

Ask Me Anything! (Well… almost)

Yeah yeah, it’s not your regularly scheduled dose of Emeth’s Home Brewed Esoteric Lexicology, but it’s close. I get a lot of questions while I’m dancing through the cyber-sphere. I don’t always get the time to answer them all. Often as not I refer people to my blog and say I’ll get a post up [...]

Eccentricity, Mathematics, and Peculiar People

I am eccentric. Quite so. In fact, almost invariably so. And I quite like it. Now, when most people notice my eccentricity (and they do), they generally comment on how weird it is, and then make some comment about fitting in or having to still be able to communicate with people or something along those [...]

Is chivalry slavery?

This time we’re going to do something a tad bit different, although I’ve done it once before I think on this blog. Instead of me posting a long article on something, I want to get your ideas on a difficult topic. I’ll be in the comments (am I ever not?) talking with you all, but I [...]

Four Things that can Cripple your Communication Without you Knowing

And communication makes or breaks everything you do. Everything. So this might be a little bit important to you (and to everyone around you), maybe. I don’t know.

How do you know that’s what that means?

As said by Mark Twain – “Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.“ Very true. But how ought we to be careful? Quite simple: don’t believe everything you read. Read multiple health books instead of just one, for example. Experiment, research, study. Agreeing with the first thing you hear is [...]

* Bounce Bounce Bounce *

Okay, so that title was a bit misleading. This is a deep post. Very deep. * nod nod * Well maybe not that deep. But it was life-changing for me, and I wanted to share it with you. See, I am a collector. I don’t collect Hotwheels or stamps though, I collect principles. Life principles [...]
