So much excitement I can hardly contain myself.

A truly unforgettable day.

-- I played keno and won $33.33!

-- I had anal sex 13 times, today!

-- I drank three six-packs of beer all by myself!

-- I ate candy corn birthday cake!

-- I slapped the rosy pink bumcheeks of the Nietzsche fanboy I live with, 23 times!

-- I met James Franco, and he's definitely not gay!

-- I read...

Thanks, kid. Now I know how you really feel about me.

(Yes, shitty drawing, but it's only for Edward's baby book for him to see someday.)

@bagobolts Ha!!! I'm not so worried anymore because yesterday, which was the day after we had this little exchange, he went up to me and said, "Mommy, I'm going to use daddy's skeleton instead of yours, because his is much bigger." ;)

@harshrocker, @softnsweet, @midna_, Thanks, E has a quirky sense of humor.

Knee-deep in Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil. He's the ideal archetype of an insane genius. It's uncanny how insanity and genius are typically bundled up together. Maybe it's because it's so hard to draw the line between the two.

Is it possible N's syphilis and brain tumor/cancer made him a little kooky? I'd say yes.

But kooky or not, what an insufferable misogynistic maniac,...

@lokiscoyote Good points. I heard that horse story too. Nietzsche is an extremely polarizing/controversial figure-- inspiring either much love or much hate. Yeah, I think most people who "like" him and name-drop him have never even read ANY of his works. Perhaps it's because NIN popularized him with the song "Heresy." Actually, no , Nietzsche's words have been stolen, errr --"borrowed" by song-writers for a looong time, even Kanye West has used N's lines. Maybe it's something about N's mustachioed face? Sexy fucker. Haha. I think we'll see teens wearing black tees with "god is dead" emblazoned on them for years to come.  Really though I find N to be the antithesis of cool -- it must be one of those instances where someone is SO UNCOOL that he becomes cool.  It's irritating that N is a fucking buzzword though, since the youth (not-so-counter)culture has grabbed hold of him.
memnoch666:
I like the quote about monsters from N.  Have you read others of Eggers works? I've read most of his stuff.  I can't wait to get his newest book.

The Power of Two

Do you ever worry that there aren't enough opportunities in the day to use obscenities/profanities/vulgarities/etc?

Do you ever wish you had Tourette's, so you'd be completely justified in using obscenities/profanities/vulgarities whenever and wherever you wanted to?

I do, times two.

And here's a quick list of the ones I like to use most: asshat! asswipe! bullshit! cumball! cumslut! dickweed! dicktard! dingus! dipshit! dumbass! dumbfuck! fuckface!...

I NEVER worry about this. I create opportunities to cuss it up, fucker!! Granted, I don't have small (or any other sized, for that matter) children hanging about the place...
mrwaverly:
Cuntitudinous Fucktard is my favourite. I also love a record called 'John's Not Mad', by Ozymyso, which is constructed of Tourette's dialogue, from a BBC documentary. It's one of those things that is so wrong, it's right...😉

In which I am cut down to size (again).

Or alternately titled, "How a dysfunctional relationship is surprisingly and maddeningly functional."

J: What are you writing about?

Me: The advantages of being ugly.

J: How would you know anything on the subject?

Me: I live it everyday.

J: Unbelievable. You are so full of horseshit. Why can't you just see yourself the way others see you? The way I see you?

Me: It doesn't...

@softnsweet Well, yeah. He's a great guy. It must be true because he reminds me constantly: "only a great guy can handle you." :)

You two should do that on stage!

Pretend for a moment you are a child psychologist. Would these images trouble you? Is it normal for 5 year old boys to draw these freaky skeleton-alien-monster things? I don't have a good frame-of-reference because when I was 5, I drew rainbows, and little red houses with broccoli-shaped trees sitting next to them.

@bagobolts I feel the same way.

As Long as there is a hero it should be all right! But on the Jackass Topic... Well, aside from all I think of that Show, it is hard to make the "do not try this at home" astick with a 5 year old!

Wouldn't it be nice to not have every minute detail of your life pre-planned in advance? School schedules, work schedules, doctor/dentist appointments and now we're planning on adding karate lessons into this crazed mix. Everything has to somehow fit in. Everything pencilled into the master plan.

For instance, we have a BJ planned for tonight. So much for impulsivity. And I have my daily turd...

@chadsss The title alludes to some of my favorite lines in V's book I completed re-reading last night! Weeeee!

Buds, buddettes. Been a while.

Clearly I have my priorities misaligned because I should spend every extra minute on this site instead of doing anything else. ;)

Since I was here last I started and finished Boghossian's A Manual for Creating Atheists. I've only seen his youtube videos prior to this, and I enjoyed them immensely. B has RD's seal of approval, so I...

Dawkins + Boghossian

Anyone else excited for Peter Boghossian's new book A Manual for Creating Atheists?

talamia:
Don't even joke, you and Freud are not wrong in this case ;P (not by choice though!)
lokiscoyote:
No I do not know that guy in the photo on my blog, though I do wish I had that T-shirt, I would wear it for the entire first month of classes (so maybe I need more than one). I have long argued that we need to do away with the concept that every person needs a college degree, I do not believe everyone does. I certainly know many people who are highly trained, very skilled and amazing at their jobs without a degree. In the case of my nurse students they are paid more for having a degree, but most of what they learn is unrelated to their field. While I am a huge fan of learning for learning's sake. I do not believe in forcing people to learn. It just doesn't work. 

Delighting in destruction

Are humans "programmed" to gain the most satisfaction from creation or from destruction?

Because one thing I've learned from children is that they LOVE to destroy. Building/creating things from play-doh, blocks, crayons+paper, is a lot of fun, but nowhere near as fun as it is to dismantle, rip into a zillion teeny pieces, or otherwise tear asunder.

Throwing shelves upon shelves of books onto the...

In response to your question, I believe there can be joy without sadness, but I do not believe one can fully appreciates that joy until they have been forced to experience loss of some sort. It is like adding a hint of cayenne to a chocolate dish, it makes the sweet that much sweeter.

Civilizations rot from within and everything is always looking for an opportunity to wipe the Etch-a-Sketch clean. The more points of view available, even silly or stupid, the better - at least to me. I love weighing options!
