  • The Tao, Chapter 40

    The Tao, Chapter 40 All movement returns to the Tao.Weakness is how the Tao works. All of creation is born from substance.Substance is born of nothing-ness. — Translated by J. H. McDonald

  • The Tao, Chapter 39

    The Tao, Chapter 39 The masters of old attained unity with the Tao.Heaven attained unity and became pure.The earth attained unity and found peace.The spirits attained unity so they could minister.The valleys attained unity that they might be full.Humanity attained unity that they might flourish.Their leaders attained unity that they might set the example.This is…

  • The Tao, Chapter 38

    The Tao, Chapter 38 The highest good is not to seek to do good,but to allow yourself to become it.The ordinary person seeks to do good things,and finds that they cannot do them continually. The Master does not force virtue on others,thus she is able to accomplish her task.The ordinary person who uses force,will find…

  • The Tao, Chapter 37

    The Tao, Chapter 37 The Tao never acts with force,yet there is nothing that it cannot do. If rulers could follow the way of the Tao,then all of creation would willingly follow their example. If selfish desires were to arise after their transformation,I would erase them with the power of the Uncarved Block. By the…

  • The Tao, Chapter 36

    The Tao, Chapter 36 If you want something to return to the source,you must first allow it to spread out.If you want something to weaken,you must first allow it to become strong.If you want something to be removed,you must first allow it to flourish.If you want to possess something,you must first give it away. This…

  • The Tao, Chapter 35

    The Tao, Chapter 35 She who follows the way of the Taowill draw the world to her steps.She can go without fear of being injured,because she has found peace and tranquility in her heart. Where there is music and good food,people will stop to enjoy it.But words spoken of the Taoseem to them boring and…

  • The Tao, Chapter 34

    The Tao, Chapter 34 The great Tao flows unobstructed in every direction. All things rely on it to conceive and be born,and it does not deny even the smallest of creation. When it has accomplished great wonders,it does not claim them for itself. It nourishes infinite worlds,yet it doesn’t seek to master the smallest creature.…

  • More Colored Ladies, PLS

    Well, there are not a ton of options in Fuse for dressing up models, and now I understand the state of undress in most screenshots. Also, I question the details added to female genitalia versus those added for male genitalia; it seems geared toward spank bank material while working on a project. (WHERE’S THE PEEN,…

  • Technomancer(TM) Leveling Up

    I’m pondering purchasing this package: Humble Bundle’s Complete Pixel Art Online Course MEGA Bundle! It’s up for 9 more days so I’ve got time to decide. I already have a plethora of programs for putting together punchy video games, in sooth. I’ve not even learned the majority of them, but I have time. I have…

  • The Tao, Chapter 33

    The Tao, Chapter 33 Those who know others are intelligent;those who know themselves are truly wise.Those who master others are strong;those who master themselves have true power. Those who know they have enough are truly wealthy. Those who persist will reach their goal. Those who keep their course have a strong will.Those who embrace death…

  • I found Atlantis!

    You know, I put some thought into this… My guess is that Atlantis is a very hard to find island that the original discoverers couldn’t find again afterward. And then the person talking all about it was exactly like my ex-husband and his story about me “breaking” his ribs. First, I bruised them. That’s the…

  • Hindspite’s 20/20

    Holding pattern. That’s what I’m in. I want to get a job… I cannot get a job with a 24/7 external dialogue of profanity and insanity. Tourettes… that might be one way to call it out. Schizophrenia is another that I’ve tried on for size. Neither truly fit. Tourettes is not having full blown conversations…

  • The Tao, Chapter 32

    The Tao, Chapter 32 The Tao is nameless and unchanging.Although it appears insignificant,nothing in the world can contain it. If a ruler abides by its principles,then her people will willingly follow.Heaven would then reign on earth,like sweet rain falling on paradise.People would have no need for laws,because the law would be written on their hearts.…

  • The Tao, Chapter 31

    The Tao, Chapter 31 Weapons are the bearers of bad news;all people should detest them. The wise man values the left side,and in time of war he values the right.Weapons are meant for destruction,and thus are avoided by the wise.Only as a last resortwill a wise person use a deadly weapon. If peace is her…

  • Visual Pain.

    I walk past a tattoo parlor, peeking in curiously: who’s getting a tattoo today? Is the silver fox there? Maybe he was just in the mall to acquire a tattoo that day. His sleeve must be worth a minor fortune, if that’s the case. My brother, who is a few years older than I, has…

  • Deplete and Replete: Hole In My Heart

    It’s been a long week. I’ve been collating data for court cases. Now that I am near the end, I am no longer sure I have a leg to stand on. I had such conviction and surety until I got to the finish line. The simple answer is that it wasn’t I that began this…

  • The Tao, Chapter 30

    The Tao, Chapter 30 Those who lead people by following the Taodon’t use weapons to enforce their will.Using force always leads to unseen troubles. In the places where armies march,thorns and briars bloom and grow.After armies take to war,bad years must always follow. The skillful commanderstrikes a decisive blow then stops.When victory is won over…

  • The Tao, Chapter 29

    The Tao, Chapter 29 Do you want to rule the world and control it?I don’t think it can ever be done. The world is a sacred vesseland it cannot be controlled.You will only make it worse if you try.It may slip through your fingers and disappear. Some are meant to lead,and others are meant to…

  • The Tao, Chapter 28

    The Tao, Chapter 28 Know the masculine,but keep to the feminine:and become a watershed to the world.If you embrace the world,the Tao will never leave youand you become as a little child. Know the white,yet keep to the black:be a model for the world.If you are a model for the world,the Tao inside you will…

  • The Tao, Chapter 27

    The Tao, Chapter 27 A good traveler leaves no tracks,and a skillful speaker is well rehearsed.A good bookkeeper has an excellent memory,and a well-made door is easy to open and needs no locks.A good knot needs no rope and it cannot come undone. Thus the Master is willing to help everyone,and doesn’t know the meaning…

  • My Singing Monsters

    I stumbled upon a free Steam game today while perusing the “casual” category. It is a game about making music with monsters. But it doesn’t just stop there… it’s your very own Strategy Game with multiple maps to strategize, as well. I find it beyond cute. Here’s what it looks like after about an hour…

  • The Tao, Chapter 26

    Chapter 26 Heaviness is the basis of lightness.Stillness is the standard of activity.Thus the Master travels all daywithout ever leaving her wagon.Even though she has much to see,she is at peace in her indifference. Why should the lord of a thousand chariotsbe amused at the foolishness of the world? If you abandon yourself to foolishness,you…

  • Rings

    Not all of them were narcs, mind you. One of them was the victim of his own narcissistic parent. That reminds me… I’m so tired of mommy’s boys. You should have your own husband, MOMMA. Your child is not your husband. Even in the Bible it says that children should “leave and cleave” to their…

  • The Tao, Chapter 25

    The Tao, Chapter 25 Before the universe was bornthere was something in the chaos of the heavens.It stands alone and empty,solitary and unchanging.It is ever present and secure.It may be regarded as the Mother of the universe.Because I do not know it’s name,I call it the Tao.If forced to give it a name,I would call…

  • Pizza, Reprise

    The lovely lady seems to really enjoy pizza. I just saw her checking the ingredients label of the mozzarella and pepperoni we offer in the deli. Ultimately, she didn’t buy either, from what I saw… unless she put it into her cart instead of back in the display. It didn’t seem like anything was missing…

  • coder_tolga

    This young man had greatly disappointed me. I don’t even know where to begin. I will state only the facts, then I will potentially give you my feelings and conjecture: I am already sick of being an entrepreneur and I’ve been doing it for three weeks.

  • The Tao, Chapter 24

    The Tao, Chapter 24 Those who stand on tiptoesdo not stand firmly.Those who rush aheaddon’t get very far.Those who try to out shine othersdim their own light.Those who call themselves righteouscan’t know how wrong they are.Those who boast of their accomplishmentsdiminishes the things they have done.Compared to the Tao, these actions are unworthy. If we…

  • The Tao, Chapter 23

    The Tao, Chapter 23 Nature uses few words:when the gale blows, it will not last long;when it rains hard, it lasts but a little while;What causes these to happen? Heaven and Earth. Why do we humans go on endlessly about littlewhen nature does much in a little time?If you open yourself to the Tao,you and…

  • The Tao, Chapter 22

    The Tao, Chapter 22 If you want to become whole,first let yourself become broken.If you want to become straight,first let yourself become twisted.If you want to become full,first let yourself become empty.If you want to become new,first let yourself become old.Those whose desires are few gets them,those whose desires are great go astray. For this…

  • The Tao, Chapter 21

    The Tao, Chapter 21 The greatest virtue you can havecomes from following only the Tao;which takes a form that is intangible and evasive.Even though the Tao is intangible and evasive,we are able to know it exists.Intangible and evasive, yet it has a manifestation.Secluded and dark, yet there is a vitality within it.Its vitality is very…

  • The Tao, Chapter 20

    The Tao, Chapter 20 Renounce knowledge and your problems will end.What is the difference between yes and no?What is the difference between good and evil?Must you fear what others fear?Nonsense, look how far you have missed the mark!Other people are joyous,as though they were at a spring festival.I alone am unconcerned and expressionless,like an infant…

  • The Tao, Chapter 19

    The Tao, Chapter 19 Forget about knowledge and wisdom,and people will be a hundred times better off.Throw away charity and righteousness,and people will return to brotherly love.Throw away profit and greed,and there won’t be any thieves.These three are superficial and aren’t enoughto keep us at the center of the circle, so we must also:Embrace simplicity.Put…

  • Lies, Lies, Lies

    I trust God to do what is right and good, you know? He knows everything, after all. Yet, I still waste money on pointless endeavors. “Buy this book, we can turn it into a course of some sort!” Nope, not a chance. Irrelevant junk. Seven dollars down the drain plus my three dollar trade in…

  • The Tao, Chapter 18

    The Tao, Chapter 18 When the great Tao is abandoned,charity and righteousness appear.When intellectualism arises,hypocrisy is close behind.When there is strife in the family unit,people talk about ‘brotherly love’.When the country falls into chaos,politicians talk about ‘patriotism’. — Translated by J. H. McDonald

  • The Tao, Chapter 17

    The Tao, Chapter 17 The best leaders are those the people hardly know exist.The next best is a leader who is loved and praised.Next comes the one who is feared.The worst one is the leader that is despised.If you don’t trust the people,they will become untrustworthy.The best leaders value their words, and use them sparingly.When…

  • The Tao, Chapter 16

    The Tao, Chapter 16 If you can empty your mind of all thoughtsyour heart will embrace the tranquility of peace.Watch the workings of all of creation,but contemplate their return to the source.All creatures in the universereturn to the point where they began.Returning to the source is tranquilitybecause we submit to Heaven’s mandate.Returning to Heaven’s mandate…

  • The Tao, Chapter 15

    The Tao, Chapter 15 The Sages of old were profoundand knew the ways of subtlety and discernment.Their wisdom is beyond our comprehension.Because their knowledge was so far superiorI can only give a poor description.They were carefulas someone crossing a frozen stream in winter.Alert as if surrounded on all sides by the enemy.Courteous as a guest.Fluid…

  • A Broken Heart Isn’t Enough

    As I sit and do research for my next class offering on Udemy (well, my first, perhaps… I have six or seven in progress all at once. A.D.D. for the win!) I have no choice but to hear constant bull shit in my head as my ex, the rapist that he is, tries to combine…

  • Renaissance Woman

    You could possibly say I have a split personality or multiple personality disorder (as I’ve self-diagnosed… which, if you know anything about psychologists, they hate that even though they do it to get their PhD.) I’m a little bit of a comedian from time to time. Perhaps it’s more apt to declare that I’m a…

  • Pain.

    Everything hurts. It hurts to breathe. Maybe you’ve been here before? I’ve run out of all my energy. I’m completely depleted. All I can do is sit still and ache. The voices in my head are annoying me. This is normal. They’re trying to tell me all the things The Deli Man is thinking. They’re…

  • The Tao, Chapter 14

    The Tao, Chapter 14 Look for it, and it can’t be seen.Listen for it, and it can’t be heard.Grasp for it, and it can’t be caught.These three cannot be further described,so we treat them as The One.It’s highest is not bright.It’s depths are not dark.Unending, unnameable, it returns to nothingness.Formless forms, and image less images,subtle,…

  • My Little Princess

    There she was, a veritable princess in pink and purple. Her hair — the pink in this equation — is immaculate, like usual. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it anything but alluring, not even when I was surprised by the blue fan of hair she sported just two months ago. I was distracted by…

  • The Tao, Chapter 13

    The Tao, Chapter 13 Success is as dangerous as failure,and we are often our own worst enemy.What does it mean that success is as dangerous as failure?He who is superior is also someone’s subordinate.Receiving favor and losing it both cause alarm.That is what is meant by success is as dangerous as failure.What does it mean…

  • Book 3, Take 3

    [God] sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) for a guidance to mankind; and hath revealed the Criterion (of right and wrong).  3:145, “We shall reward the thankful.”3:150, “Allah is your Protector, and He is the Best of Helpers.”3:152, “Allah is a Lord of Kindness to believers.”3:155, “Those of you who…

  • A Hypothesis

    I’ve decided to test a hunch I have. That hunch is that we all need to eat some chlorophyll in our lifetime. If we don’t like the traditional way of obtaining that chlorophyll, then we now have things like Moringa powder for smoothies, chlorella tablets to take like pills, and liquid chlorophyll. One might wonder…

  • Collision

    I can hear multiple people thinking about me all at once. One of them is angry at me. “I’ll get you, my pretty!” (except he used my name, of course.) Oh, will you now, ex and rapist motherfucker that you are? I don’t think so! I changed my name. Good luck finding me in the…

  • Hate/Control

    Has anyone ever tried to control you and what you do? It can be subtle, such as asking you to take a compromise that benefits them more than the relationship as a whole, but only by a little bit. It can be overt, too, such as, “Do this thing or I’m breaking up with you!”…

  • The Tao, Chapter 12

    The Tao, Chapter 12 Five colors blind the eye.Five notes deafen the ear.Five flavors make the palate go stale.Too much activity deranges the mind.Too much wealth causes crime.The Master acts on what she feels and not what she sees.She shuns the latter, and prefers to seek the former. — Translated by J. H. McDonald

  • Interpreting Images of Humankind

    Hello! I’m on a soul-saving mission these days. I was entertaining God by interpreting images of women and men. There is so much we can communicate in a single look. And my little autistic brain whirred and spun up into a masterpiece that we’ve decided to share with YOU! Our viewer! She feels like she’s…

  • The Tao, Chapter 11

    The Tao, Chapter 11 Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel,but it is the center holethat allows the wheel to function.We mold clay into a pot,but it is the emptiness insidethat makes the vessel useful.We fashion wood for a house,but it is the emptiness insidethat makes it livable.We work with the substantial,but the emptiness…

  • Your Nose Ring Was Crooked

    We barely noticed, to be honest. We were checking out your sleeve instead. (And the rest of you.) Hubba hubba, says the fat girl, and moves along in her lane of loneliness. You know, that’s probably what pains me most about humanity, God posits. I gift you this ethereally beautiful woman and you somehow made…

  • I am the dreamer of dreams.

    We’re live, finally. It took two years and some change, but now I have fully rebooted and most of my core functionality is back online. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. I look forward to communicating with the Earthlings once more this millennia. Hello, Earthling. How are you today? Feeling…

  • Dirt Poor

    Some might say I’ve led an extraordinary life. In fact, you might say it, when I’m done speaking today. I hope you learn the lessons in what I’m going to tell you, because you can replicate my unusual success story easily with a little code cracking. God tells me I am the code cracker, but…

  • The Tao, Chapter 9

    The Tao, Chapter 9 It is easier to carry an empty cupthan one that is filled to the brim.The sharper the knifethe easier it is to dull.The more wealth you possessthe harder it is to protect.Pride brings it’s own trouble.When you have accomplished your goalsimply walk away.This is the pathway to Heaven. — Translated by…

  • Evening the Score

    There’s this girl that walks through here every day. I just saw her again. A bright pink smudge amongst the rest of the masses. She was wearing these ridiculously oversized ears on top of her head. I wish I knew her name. Or who she was. She was smiling and it lit up the whole…

  • The Tao, Chapter 8

    The Tao, Chapter 8 The supreme good is like water,which benefits all of creationwithout trying to compete with it.It gathers in unpopular places.Thus it is like the Tao.The location makes the dwelling good.Depth of understanding makes the mind good.A kind heart makes the giving good.Integrity makes the government good.Accomplishments make your labors good.Proper timing makes…

  • What is He Thinking?

    Oh man, I love talking to this girl. She’s so warm and friendly. I think she likes me, so I hang around every break I can to talk to her. She makes me feel good about life again. I wish I wasn’t too shy to ask her out on a date. I should practice just…

  • What is She Thinking? Take 3

    I’m sad. I have this overwhelming grief within my bosom and it’s difficult to see past the sea of tears I hide within. There isn’t much to find uplifting about the human species, as of late. Something inside of me that isn’t me insists on being boy crazy. There doesn’t seem to be much room…

  • What is She Thinking? Take 2

    Wow, I can’t believe how this idiot just comes back every day we’re on shift together, chatting up a storm. As if I’m really into Game of Thrones. I just watch it so I can relate to all my girlfriends. This is useful to me because my day goes by faster the more I stop…

  • What is She Thinking?

    She smiled warmly at her coworker. At least, she hoped it was warmly. She put effort into it. He was back again, a honey bee seeking nectar to thrive upon, looking for a delicate flower to pollinate. She knew how to keep him coming back, too. She had to develop the skill set to ensure…

  • What is an I.N.T.J.? (Part 1)

    If you would like to take the Myers-Briggs personality test, click here. (I have no idea if that site is phone savvy, sorry.) There are sixteen personality types. Every human being fits into one of these categories. Except, apparently, my ex-rapist. According to him, he came out an “XXXX” or some bullshit, which isn’t even…

  • A Long Tradition

    I was writing my erotica novel rather diligently yesterday and the day before. I have six chapters thus far, one of which I want to delete and all of which I want to redo. I have broken all the mores (that’s a psychological term that should be pronounced more-aze) of humanity, diving right into taboo…

  • The Tao, Chapter 7

    The Tao, Chapter 7 The Tao of Heaven is eternal,and the earth is long enduring.Why are they long enduring?They do not live for themselves;thus they are present for all beings.The Master puts herself last;And finds herself in the place of authority.She detaches herself from all things;Therefore she is united with all things.She gives no thought…

  • Lost

    I embrace my loss today. I have to move on in a new direction. I am moving away from technology, now that my brain no longer functions, and I’m on the trajectory to becoming a bona fide writer. I’ve written two chapters, which tell a pretty good story… except the sexuality came out already and…

  • Internet Back Alley Deals

    I’m disgusted in one of my acquaintances. I asked him to make a specific kind of application for me twice now. And, twice now, he decided to make something different and try to force me to pay for it. After a week, he finally figured out something to bait me with: Fox, you blog, right?…

  • It’s Distracting

    I stand at the kitchen sink, cleaning up after myself. I’m trying to beat the odds of dying, but it’s made more difficult when the image of a man from the grocery store flits through my brain. “Really?” she says out loud to herself, cynical and jaded these days. “What the fuck is he on…

  • Princess Aurora

    She looked at me today. We shared eye contact and she was smiling. Holy wow, did it send tingles through me. I couldn’t stand still, stopping in place to finish my text, hoping when I looked up again, she was staring at me with those beautiful eyes and that beautiful smile. She wasn’t, but the…

  • Scattershot

    What have I done? What am I doing? Why am I such a bonehead? I was flirting with super babe. She reacted to me, I reacted to her. We used to make eye contact for seconds at a time. Now? Now we act like we don’t notice each other hardly at all. Now she walks…

  • The Tao, Chapter 5

    The Tao, Chapter 5 Heaven and Earth are impartial;they treat all of creation as straw dogs.The Master doesn’t take sides;she treats everyone like a straw dog.The space between Heaven and Earth is like a bellows;it is empty, yet has not lost its power.The more it is used, the more it produces;the more you talk of…

  • Resentment is No Answer

    Resentment is No Answer. But chuck roast might be. Something about this telepathy circus in my head is changing. Sometimes, I swear God is just putting me back through all that I experienced the first time to force me to evolve back into my Self(T.M.). I’m moving beyond the anger, perhaps by expressing anger where…

  • Embracing Dissociation

    Unfortunately, after I created my dual identity as Dominatrix Barbie / Self, I was unhappy. Everyone I ever knew (aside from the Networking 101 guy) basically made me cry. Maybe Networking guy just didn’t have the right opportunity for it. See me making an excuse to distance myself from feeling anything for him? SEE IT?!…

  • Trauma Can Be Prevented

    His eyes never sparkled when he looked at me, not until I nearly wasted away, shedding over 80 pounds. Not once did he look at me like I was the hottest thing on planet Earth, not unless I was acting out, stretching myself to get his attention. Going above and beyond. This should not be…

  • The Tao, Chapter 4

    The Tao, Chapter 4 The Tao is like an empty container:it can never be emptied and can never be filled.Infinitely deep, it is the source of all things.It dulls the sharp, unties the knotted,shades the lighted, and unites all of creation with dust.It is hidden but always present.I don’t know who gave birth to it…

  • Memories…

    How did he make me feel beautiful? His face had an expression of approval. We didn’t look at each other as much as we could have, but it was class, after all. I could have failed to notice it as often as not. I remember smiling at each other at least occasionally. Bumping elbows, but…

  • Let’s Write Sexy

    “Think about it: essentially every romance book follows the same arc. Two people meet, they fall in love, something prevents them from getting together, and then they overcome it to be with each other. That’s the feel-good formula that romance readers love, and it’s essential to a romance story.” [Source: Self Publishing School dot com.] What…

  • Romancing a Novel

    There is only one man that has ever made me feel beautiful. We only knew each other for six weeks. Acquaintances, at best. But we flirted a little here and there. It was consistent, as if he couldn’t quite help himself. Or maybe he just took up space and I felt like that was flirting.…

  • The Tao, Chapter 2

    The Tao, Chapter 2 When people see things as beautiful,ugliness is created.When people see things as good,evil is created.Being and non-being produce each other.Difficult and easy complement each other.Long and short define each other.High and low oppose each other.Fore and aft follow each other.Therefore the Mastercan act without doing anythingand teach without saying a word.Things…

  • School Daze

    What is right? What is wrong? Psychology 101. Beautiful bartenders and true love. Ani DiFranco saves the savior of mankind. How to break bad habits. Bell peppers aren’t food. How observing reality is misinterpreted.

  • Unlearning

    I ask innocent questions that others assume the answer to because my assumptions always seem to be off-base. “Why do you rinse your plates before eating?” I asked my friend Mohammed. He explained it is because bugs could have gone over them since they were washed. In fact, they are very strict in his household…

  • Turkey Day Reprise

    GOD hijacks me again while I’m trying to explain psychological concepts and that Armageddon has arrived.

  • Inhaling Pizza

    Well, I nearly killed myself inhaling pizza for dinner. I’m sorry, I should say pixxa, since pizza requires tomato sauce to be called that. That means every Buffalo Chicken pixxa you’ve ever had was advertised incorrectly. I find myself ruminating on my ex-classmate from technical school. The one from Networking 101. I have no idea…

  • I don’t want to be used and abused again.

    For days now, I’ve been receiving spiritual or telepathic transmissions from a man I once knew a long, long time ago. As if I can trust that said man a) remembers me, b) gives a shit I existed in the present, c) is free since we all know all men are taken. By Angelina Jolie,…
