Sometimes I Climb the Walls and Lie on the Ceiling
I love blogging. I also love astrology. And I love to spot connections, contrast, compare, mix things up. So I thought I'd answer some questions about blogging using astrology. This may get very complicated, confusing, and I may lose the point and plot, but that's okay, I'm at home in strange waters. The questions about... Continue Reading →
The title of this post refers to a conversation I have every now and then with my blog. I have deleted two previous blogs, so it's not an idle threat but a fact - I could delete this blog, but I won't... not yet anyway. Sometimes the urge to destroy my creation is intense. There's...

Yes, of course it is! And if you tell me that I only think it is because I haven't had sex with you... that's a good point! I can't argue with that. Rory of A Guy Called Bloke and K9 Doodlepip has been doing a very interesting (for bloggers anyway, sorry non-bloggers) series, and, in... Continue Reading →
I'm just clickbaiting. This isn't a how to upset bloggers guide. But if you did visit this post for that and you really want to know how to do it - do what you normally do which upsets people and voila! So why the title? Well, yesterday I had an interesting comment-chat with Rory on... Continue Reading →
The title of this post has a story attached to it. It has several stories attached to it. Do I tell them all, just tell one of them or talk about something else altogether? If you'd like to make a suggestion about what I should write about in a post, please feel free to share... Continue Reading →
Are you woke? Are you a special snowflake? Are you an entitled Millennial? Are you getting annoyed by those questions? I'm still not entirely sure what those words mean or at least what people mean when they use them like that. Fights may break out if you ask a forum of people online what those... Continue Reading →
What should I write here? What about here, what should I say? And when I get over there what on earth will I be rambling, babbling and writing about? What will be discovered, uncovered, rediscovered or covered? When you read a post or an article online, what do you think about it? Do you think... Continue Reading →
Who are you and how do you know that's who you are? How did you react to that question - are you still reading or did you move on? Should I chase after all those who decided not to give this post a chance or should I focus my attention on you - you who... Continue Reading →
Have you ever given something away only to wish later on that you could magically get it back? I'm not referring to time, opportunities, youth, your heart, your mind, your soul, or your virginity... I mean an actual thing, an object, a book, a toy, or a pack of playing cards. I've moved around a... Continue Reading →
Before I started blogging, I was a browser, surfer, lurker, searcher seeking, looking for answers, solutions, ideas, distractions online. The bookmarks I collected grew so plentiful that it would take what felt like an age to scroll and find where I wanted to revisit. Every now and then I would try to tidy up my... Continue Reading →

So, what do you think makes a good post on your blog? Do you have a favourite? What do you prefer to write about? What do you like to read on other people’s blogs (or mine)? What attracts you to follow a blogger? The above questions aren't mine, they're from Pensitivity101: What Makes a 'Good... Continue Reading →
Do you enjoy letting other people know that you like them? Do you tell people when something they've done has inspired you? Do you love discovering new things, places, and people? And when you find a new thing, place, or person do you share them with others, share the love? The Liebster Award is a... Continue Reading →
If you could turn back time, would you do it? If you could travel back in time, would you do it, and where in the when would you go? For you, is time: 1) money, 2) of the essence, 3) a big ball of wibbly wobbly wimey stuff? This morning I woke up later than... Continue Reading →
I don't know if you've noticed... if you haven't I'm going to point a finger at it and shout: Look, look, LOOK! I've changed my blog's theme... it may take awhile for me to sort out the mess which this is causing, as I have to get used to how this theme works (and doesn't... Continue Reading →
I was having a conversation yesterday evening which began in the compartment of work/business and slowly crossed lines into other compartments until it ended up in the deeply personal and intensely private (mine, not someone else's because that's not my boundary to cross). At one point the person I was speaking with said something along... Continue Reading →
What do you want in a relationship? Why do you want those things in a relationship? Do you give to others what you want them to give to you in a relationship? Do you really give to others those things that you want them to give to you in a relationship or do you just... Continue Reading →
Or is it a blessing? But what is IT? IT is when an old post of yours from years back gets a new comment. At this point you're probably thinking this is definitely a blessing. How could it be a curse? Focus on the positive: 1. Someone noticed your post. Every day hundreds of thousands... Continue Reading →
Have you ever done one of these... . I chose to use this particular maze image because the end and the beginning are on the same side... and you've got to wonder why you would bother doing the maze at all since you're where you need to get already - life is sometimes exactly like...

For those who are curious by nature, pretty much every conversation is going to be from the get go or become after a seemingly normal and comfortable start... awkward. At some point you, the naturally curious one, will ask a stupid question, make a dumb remark, say something idiotic to a cleverer-than-thou other who would... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year... whatever this time of year means to and for you. For a lot of people this is a time when we review what we've gained and what we've lost, what went right and what went wrong, what is coming together and what is falling apart... and maybe wonder WTF happened...

There are times when I secretly hope that some technical glitch will wipe out my blog. I can explain that hidden hope best by using astrology - I have Pluto in the 1st (and transiting Pluto is conjunct my Sun) and (so I'm a bit of a psycho - it's retrograde so that psycho is... Continue Reading →
Have you ever done something and... perhaps thought it was what you should be doing at the time, but... awhile later you second guess yourself and wish you had a second chance, but it's too late, the moving finger wrote and you can't travel back in time to do things differently. . . So what... Continue Reading →
The other day I wrote a post about how blogs are people, how what you find on a blog reflects the person behind the blog who experiences all the ups, downs, and usual merry-go-round of being a human living life. I know that's obvious but sometimes the obvious gets obscured by... by what? By all... Continue Reading →
We, the people... shouldn't that be... We are people... ? because we are people, aren't we? and the 'the' just sounds like... (a band name) . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb7_pOu4kuc . something which separates us from who we are... together and apart... a typically human experience... disconnected even when connected... and that kind of connected disconnectedness leaks out...

It's that time of year... When the past and the future meet in the present... ... Okay, that happens all the time... ... However we're more mindful...

. “You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.

Hello everyone, I'm going to be mainly absent from my blog over the next few weeks. I'm doing a bit of this: . . Actually I've already done a bit of that, and it has consequences. I think those are this: . . But if you know how I make decisions these days, then you're... Continue Reading →
People sometimes ask me questions on this blog... And occasionally someone asks me a question, based on something to do with this blog, through my tumblr, my Twitter, or on my deviantart. If those other social media platform accounts were friends of mine who were waiting for me to show up at a social get-together...... Continue Reading →
When I first started blogging... on a blog which is now defunct... . I used this as an avatar . I didn't set out to write about narcissists at all. It didn't even cross my mind. It didn't even occur to me to write about my parents, my childhood, my issues, my life, my experiences...... Continue Reading →
