cenobyte
R-E-S-P-O-N….wait, that’s not how it goes…
I have spent too much time gazing inward. Trying to rebuild the wall around my heart. I should have learned that the wall does nothing but crumble into itself and…
Medical Records Rant: Update
So, as I know you are sitting on the edge of your seat wondering “what has cenobyte done? What’s going on with her medical records?”, I thought I’d update you.…
Beware: Rant
Will someone please explain to me a couple of things? Make sure you use easy-to-understand Venn diagrams and small little words because it’s sure feeling like I’m getting the “you’re…
Jump down
I get myself into the most interesting conversations. Usually that’s because I’ve figured out that one of the greatest secrets to an interesting and happy life is to surround yourself…
Everybody get down, make love
I am about a week late for this, I guess, but I’m not one to jump on bandwagons and talk about things because it’s the official week of talking about…
Mr. Grinch

She’s my cherry pie

Into the Ditch
Most of us were raised with the adage from the Gospel according to St. Matthew (7:1, in case you’re interested in looking it up) – “Judge not lest ye be…
Stayin’ Alive

Insane in the Membrane
So, one of the things I love is swimming in lakes. I also love swimming in oceans. I have never tried swimming in a sea, but I’m sure I’d love…
Someone’s Sleeping, Lord
We tend to surround ourselves with like-minded thinkers; people who understand, if not agree with our politics, our, as Ignatius J. Reilly would say, “world view”, and our humour. By…
You Make the Whole World Go Around
I have to say this. Because it’s weighing on my mind a lot (pun intended). Being fat is not funny. I don’t want to be called “Ruebenesque” (even if it’s…
They’re coming to take me away
Okay. Let’s see if I can do this. Two days before the American gun control bill was introduced for voting, an attack was made by unknown individuals on civilians at…
Call me Ducky
