I Don’t Belong Here: Forever Suffering (Cut-And-Paste God Knowledge)
(Excerpted and edited from private correspondence:)
If you’re hoping to avoid pain and death, you’re on a fool’s errand. Life is pain and it ends in death. Okay, life isn’t JUST pain — but suffering certainly seems to be a key aspect to it. If you try and shelter yourself from it you wind up either completely unprepared for it when it comes anyway or so dissatisfied with your safety that like the Buddha you reject the whole concept of safety and declare all of existence to be an illusion.

I Don’t Belong Here: Phoning It In (The Best Of New Sun Rising)
Yeah, so, I’m phoning it in this week. What can I say? The life of a social revolutionary and mental explorer doesn’t always leave time for new content. Personal issues. So here’s some things I already wrote, over at the blog no one reads, and, by virtue of being from the blog that no one reads, may as well be new. So, together again for the first time, the wit and wisdom of Noel R. Rogers, padded out with accompanying surreal original art: READ MORE »
Letters From God: Meant To Live For So Much More
Written by 
Have you ever felt like you had to do something to avoid suffering dire consequences? Brushing your teeth? Buckling your seat belt? Handing an assignment in on time? Buying an environment friendly car? READ MORE »
HACK № 20: Until Dead Inside Do Us Part
Written by Howdy Lovers, welcome to the twentieth consummation of HACK. If you’ve made it this far, don’t forget tomorrow is Give Your Wedding Ring to A Single Person Day. As per sacred tradition, the single person gets to bang the spouse of the person who gives them their ring, while you get to go out and bang everybody else’s spouse who is single for a day.
Last week I brought up two subjects I have no direct experience of: marriage and kids. I have neither. I once went steady with a girl when she had been separated for only four months. She eventually got the divorce and shared custody of her daughter. They are both my dear friends to this day. Later on I dabbled in the colors of a deaf artist with two hearing kids, a girl and boy. The kids’ father (also deaf) was somewhere south, seriously trying to get off the grid. So I’m not married and I don’t have kids but I’ve at least had a few years of experiences acting the part.
This week we’re going to take a closer look at that those spiritually legal unions that everyone thinks are the only the kind of unions that should be recognized and sanctioned by society. READ MORE »
I Don’t Belong Here: Laws Don’t Exist
“Where no law is, there is no transgression”
(Romans 4:15)
You ever know someone who didn’t break any laws? Any laws at all? I don’t mean the obvious ones like murder and rape and arson and so forth, I mean any laws period. Someone that never drove faster than the speed limit, never drank while underage, never used any illegal substance, never bought a bootleg DVD or downloaded pirated software. Never engaged in perverse sexual practices in areas where said practices were illegal. Never turned without using a blinker. Never, ever, ever broke the law. While you are out looking for this hypothetical person I am going to move ahead with my argument by assuming that this Ideal Law-Abiding Citizen simply does not exist. READ MORE »
Prose Before Swine: What Does It All Mean?
Written by 
Among the funniest of my recent discoveries is that my ex, Melodie Reece, has become Faceboob friends with my brother. This is funny because she looks exactly the same as she did 10+ years ago when I dumped her on Christmas day. Poor thing can never look at a present again without thinking about the one that got away. When the whole of your life is “Being the Preeble County Bukkake Queen” I probably seem like a pretty good catch. I blame that 300lb indiscretion on being young and foolish.
I wanted to take a moment to cover the recent Japanese nuclear tragedy. Apparently some cultural confusion has come from the symbols used it identify radiation hazards. READ MORE »
Letters From God: Let’s Stick Together
I don’t understand people.
Let’s start off with a typical situation, shall we? Sally and Gary have been together for two years. Their relationship is going pretty well. They recently moved in together and have gotten adjusted to how each other live. Sally has been hinting to Gary that she wants to get married, but he hasn’t felt ready yet. He’s afraid the marriage will change the relationship. Not wanting to lose Sally because of this silly notion, he asks her to marry him. READ MORE »
Prose Before Swine: The Joys Of Being An Electrical Engineer
The joys of being an electrical engineer:
No my friends – I’m not going to write about the perils about being a woman engineer in an totally male dominated field. That’s a bitch move. Since I’m like…one of the best out there (srsly – she is, trust us) I’ll talk about the day in day out challenges. READ MORE »
HACK № 11: And Another Thing…
Wait…you mean I have to keep doing this? EVERY WEEK, you say? * Sigh * (Repeats to self) I (still) believe. I won’t quit. This matters. Even if it doesn’t matter, then either way it doesn’t matter. READ MORE »
