Moving

Tomorrow I will be back in Cleveland, bumming off the inlaws. Poverty sucks.

Another Xmas

Here it is, Xmas again. And yet again, I am flat broke. Oh well. Same crap, different day.

Amazing Grace

Here I am singing Amazing Grace by H. Leslie Adams:

The Big Sleep

I got a book-on-cd from the library the other day. It was a 6-disc set of Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep read by Elliot Gould. I listened to the first track and decided I couldn’t possibly stand to listen to 6 discs of Elliot Gould. Bleah.

The Raven

I’ve made a youtube video of myself performing (yeah, performing, not just reading) Poe’s “The Raven.”

Enjoy.

Time to Come Out

I’ve been slowly inching toward this moment for years now. It’s time to finally come out of the closet (at least online – don’t tell my family!).

I am an ontological naturalist. Since most people probably don’t know what that means, I’ll explain. It means I consider the natural world to be all there is. This rules out anything supernatural, including ghosts, spirits, demons, angels, devils, and gods.

I take this view because, as I see it, once something can be proven to exist, it must therefore exist in the natural world. We have no means of empirically testing for the existence of the supernatural; therefore, the supernatural has no meaning for me. I am essentially Ignostic.

I usually find myself aligned more closely with atheistic worldviews than with agnostic ones. And so, in the spirit of solidarity, I shall henceforth wave my freak flag high!

I invite all others in similar situations to come out, too!

RIP George Carlin

George Carlin is dead at 71. Here are two great Carlin bits.

George Carlin on the Ten Commandments:

George Carlin on Religion:

The Latest

I’m dealing with some issues. I’ve been prescribed a selective serotinin reuptake inhibitor and a calcium channel blocker (also known as Citalopram and Amlodipine, respectively). They are an antidepressant and a blood pressure reducer. So I’m now seeing a psychologist and a nephrologist (I keep confusing nephrology with phrenology). I’m popular.

Next, Winter Comes Slowly

Here I am singing Purcell’s “Next, Winter Comes Slowly.”

Khaaan!
