Preparations for one of the Maggie's few and far between appointment outings were yet another subtle reminder that sometimes a story is just a story, especially when it's the one about a fella named Noah. Others, it seems, choose to take things a bit more literally.
Taking other people and their situations into consideration while taking in consideration that other people need to take you and your situation into consideration can have unpredictable outcomes. As in fast food as in life, always avoid the drive-thrus.
The universe works in mysterious ways and as one reader discovered, sometimes cussing people out can help people detach from their digital distractions and maybe even save their lives.
When you look to the universal intelligence, turn to your deity of choice, or even stare into the void looking for a sign that you are doing the right thing, do you find the sign, does the sign find you, or do you create the sign? Is it all the same?
These days an experience with a burning bush in a foreign land will likely result in an infection that will be tomorrow's headline and the next global health emergency. Fortunately, this was a burning bush experience of a different kind and this lesson did not require antibiotics, a vaccination, or a quarantine.
To everything there is a season...and this includes saviors and those who choose to stop waiting and save themselves.
Next to marijuana dispensaries, pet stores are my favorite places to shop. Good thing, too, given the frequency of my visits thanks to the demands of a very spoiled pussy cat.
I think most humans who have non-human companions believe - or want to believe - that they can understand them. But what if we actually spoke the same language, would we - especially this time of year - really want to hear what they had to say? Could we handle it?
Life can be difficult to navigate especially if you are not prepared for the journey. While it may sometimes seem that the path of least resistance is best way to go, it may not be best for you.
Sometimes life can interrupt your travel plans, and sometimes you just need to get away but you think the timing isn't right. Silly human, time is a man-made construct and the Maggie teaches that where there is a will and a comfy place to sleep, there is always a way.
Some side gigs aren't just for making money. The interactions from a side hustle may offer the opportunity to make real change in the world while putting some change in your pocket.
In the quest to focus on the present and find enjoyment in every moment, be mindful not to trample on someone else's daisies in the process.
What do the 1972 movie Deliverance, starring the late Ned Beatty, and Creationism have in common? Incest, inbreeding and lots of intrigue...and perhaps some squealing like a pig, too.
I'll bet there a few of you who might think I missed at least one comma in the title. I assure you I did not. Isn't it time we end the traditional annual arboreal genocide? It's time to try clowns.
Public transit and border crossings are great places to meet interesting people. This short tale of a recent trolley ride to the border for a quick trip to Tijuana to satisfy my munchies on a Saturday afternoon is a great example...
Have you ever wondered what would happen if people were judged based on their abilities rather than appearance? Would human nature even allow it?
Sometimes it takes an inconsiderate neighbor's cock to give you the slap in the face you need to make real and significant changes in your life.
Sometimes you don't know what you are missing until a friend or neighbor gets something cool. Good for them, they worked hard for it, right? Well, I work hard, too.
It is fairly common knowlege that having good manners will get you far in life. Combine those good manners with some good-looking feet (and a little MDMA) and you'll have the world on a string.
If you find yourself with a lot of time on your hands, you aren't alone and you probably aren't Amish. Is the key to a fulfilling life as simple as being too busy to think about whether or not your life is fulfilling? It's time to get a hobby, my friend.
While not public traded or directly bought and sold on the open market, true love appears to follow the same fundamental rules of supply and demand that apply to crude oil, cocaine and canola oil.
Humans tend to not act the same once they feel they're being watched. When we notice someone or something watching us, do they make us conscious of ourselves and thus self-conscious? Is it best to lay low or embrace the feeling and put on a show?
If cosmic events like the Mercury Retrograde of 2021 can take down the Fbook empire - if only for an afternoon - what else can happen? Asteroids? Meteors? How can one find feelings of peace and security in such turbulent times?
Though it may appear there is an error in punctuation in today's title, I can assure you there is not. Why does it seem so impossible to find an identical replacement for something so simple? How far would you go to find what you are looking for...would you go somewhere you despised? Would you compromise or be stubborn...or both?
Alas and like the birth of Venus - but without the clam and angels - a new page has been created and four exciting (and blessed) one-of-a-kind-ish products added. These products are not intended for life of soul saving purposes and are for novelty use only. Check out the new PRODUCTS page.
A reader sent in a question (which I encourage and appreciate immensely): "Why does the universe let bad things happen to me?" Are they forgetting that one man's torture can be another man's pleasure?
My second post examines some pretty big issues like whether or not the universe is spiteful or if sometimes lack of focus on the task at hand is really the culprit. Also, how is it possible that I lost a joint in the span of 5 minutes because I was looking for a better place to put it? Are these two questions one and the same?
Welcome to the Fish Fish Garden. This is the first post and I figured you may have a question or two. I went with two and they probably are not the questions you had nor are they the answers you are looking to hear. Such is life. I believe it's a good place to begin.
