Explaining how I met Bridget is quite a story in itself. I had a girl that was living with me and CC, we’ll call her the red headed bitch, well no, we’ll call her Sara. Things were starting to fall apart, she wasn’t really as poly as she would have like to have been. She [...]

My path so far — CC

I first met CC while I was still in a vanilla relationship. We had a brief fling, which is part of the reason that I realized that vanilla life was not for me. We lost contact for a while, but after I broke up we reconnected, she was now back living with her [...]
My path so far — Part 1

Time for a history lesson I think. I started down this path my second year of college. I never dated in high school, didn’t really interact with people that much in general. I don’t think I was truly shy, although there are certain social situations that I still have anxiety over. I just never had [...]

About a week ago Bridget announced to me that she broke the shower head, trying to turn it the wrong way. I didn’t think much of it at the time, other than I need to either dig up the old shower head or go buy a new one. Well, yesterday I found out [...]

When Ben Franklin was young, he set upon an idea for improving himself. He wrote down 9 qualities that he wanted to improve, and then each week he would focus on improving one quality, then in the 10th week, he would start over again. I think that one of the qualities that I [...]
Three words I hate so much

“I love you” Why do I hate you so.
I really don’t like the word love. It is at one time so meaningful, and so meaningless. Does it mean “I respect you”, “I want to possess you”, “I understand you”, “I want to get in your pants”, “I don’t want anyone else to [...]
Swimming across a lake

For the first time today, I swam solo across a lake. It wasn’t a large distance, maybe 1/4 mile at most, but it was just me and the water (literally, as I was naked). It was a very moving experience for me. It’s been a year since I did a triathlon and [...]

pg 28
Self-satisfaction alone cannot determine if a desire or action is positive or negative. … The demarcation between a positive and a negative desire or action is not whether it gives you a immediate feeling of satisfaction but whether it ultimateily results in positive or negative consequences. For example, in the case of wanting [...]

I had an interesting experience over the weekend. I was at Dragonfest, a yearly pagan retreat in Colorado. I purchased a cloak from one of the vendors. I like shopping at festivals because I can purchase goods directly from the people that made them. Later in the evening, I was at [...]
Hello World

I heard the phrase “stumbling down the path” recently at a Taoist lecture and it struck a chord with me. That is exactly what I’m doing, and recently I think I may have fallen flat on my face. In an attempt to pick myself up and create the life that I want to have, I’ve [...]
