Welcome one and all to an irregular installment of my irregularly irregular collection of the very best of all things mind, soul, and body on the internet (That I could find, anyway). Today I have Mormons and basketball, Pygmy Tarsiers, Mogwai, kilobunnies and kilorats, the spirituality of chess, and husbands in the doghouse to help heal your social phobia, ADHD, Bipolar, Depression, amnesia, self harm, or whatever else it is you are in need of. So here is all I got… Read the rest of this entry »

The long awaited end to the hiatus is here, at least temporarily. I break it in the way you may have come to expect, by sharing all the stuff I would have written myself, if only I were bright and talented enough with lots more free time. So I present, especially for my faithful readers, both of you, the very best of the internet I could find over the past while or so Read the rest of this entry »

It’s Baaack, I have scoured every corner of cyberspace, selflessly and tirelessly in a relentless, never ending search for that which enlightens on the subjects of mind, soul, and body and then I got tired and took a nap. Anyway, here is the fruits of my labor, especially for you, the reader, I present the best of the Internet- Read the rest of this entry »

Now an entire week is come and gone and I am about to break my one remaining unbroken blogging rule, putting two point of interest posts back to back with no actual original content in between. Sadly, I feel guilty about this. It’s irrational, no one is paying me. This is my online journal, where I practice a supposedly enjoying hobby of putting my thoughts in ink, well actually, in pixels, as it were. Guilt is the enemy of anyone who ever suffered depression and is not much of a gift in this sace. I know I am just being compulsive. The funny thing is, I am also compulsively drinking in other blogs, and spend more time writing their praises than anything of my own.

While I have described my intimate familiarity with social phobia, generalized anxiety, and major depression, I (thankfully) cannot say the same about manic-depression, or bipolar disorder. I ran upon this video from a physician describing her experience as both doctor and patient and thought I’d share. Very enlightening, Enjoy!
