CRUEL APRIL

T.S. Eliot wrote "April the the cruelest month."

Is it?

The U.S. Civil War began AND ended during the month of April (1861 and 1865 to be exact.)

The U.S. entered World War I on April 6, 1917; Berlin fell in April 1945 with Hitler committing suicide on April 30.

When I was younger and more ignorant I wished this were my birth month.

Spring?

Has it sprung yet?

I'm reading a book called "Sapiens." It pretty much states that our cultures are the result of large groups of people believing in an "imagined reality." Not only are all gods fictional but so are the "Rights of Man;" this concept is as much an invented fiction as the old Codes of Hammarabi. And people from the U.S. shouldn't consider their culture superior to the old Hindi caste system, re those old ideas about the "purity of the white race."

I am very "striaight" I do not find black men attractive. I also don't find them repulsive but black men just don't "do it" for me. Is that due to my own biology (which I believe is the course of my heterosexuality) or the result of culture?

CRAZY LIFE....

Mother tried to engage me in conversation about reason vs. faith.

OMG! I don't want to open that can of worms!

Today is Holy Saturday. Not a big deal to me anymore.

Objectivism states that people should enjoy being alive on this earth. I enjoy it more and more every day!

March March March....

Is not my favorite month but onward we go.

Accomplish Accomplish Accomplish.....

I am aware of my past.

My past will always affect me.

But I will not let my past control my present or my future.

A Sense of Accomplishment

...is definitely a good thing.

Another goal reached!

Now it is time to surmount another one.

:)

GROUND HOG DAY LAST WEEK!

And I didn't see my shadow!

Terrific vacation to the West Indies (are there even any East Indies)?

Luckily the winter weather here hasn't been too bad!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's cold out there!

THE END OF ANOTHER CALENDAR YEAR.....

...Getting older.

Am I getting better?

I honestly have no idea.

All I know how to do is survive.
