Apx. 99.9% sure I’m right about this…

Let’s try to put it as simply as possible and see if everyone can understand it, shall we?

Science has nothing to do with “God”. Science deals solely with the empirical universe as it may be observed, recorded, studied, tested, etc., utilizing whatever tools may be created to do so, as well as our innate human [...]

Not thinking it out, just writing it as it comes…

Moody — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:22:56 +0000

It should be easier to explain than this.

To touch someone’s hand as you walk together through grass that reaches up past your calves to tickle that spot behind your knees. The smile that’s shared then. Not at all tentative, although you might think that’s what it is you see; boldness, actually, beneath the warm, translucent [...]

Evolving, A Mind

Moody — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 06:34:33 +0000

“You can’t be a rational person six days a week … and on one day of the week, go to a building, and think you’re drinking the blood of a two thousand year old space god.”—Bill Maher

Let’s make one thing clear from the outset: Whatever I might prefer, I shall have no say in whether [...]

Portrait of a Sunset (sing.)

Moody — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 03:35:25 +0000

And the sky tonight as the sun went down was breathtaking. Deeper and lighter purples shading into ruby and blood orange, gold spending itself in smudged powder coral, cerulean steeped in lilac and bruised rose, iron out of focus behind a damp and gossamer veil of baby’s breath. Naturally, I spent an inordinate amount of [...]

Nature’s Ceaseless Chautauqua

Moody — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 07:10:26 +0000

In my life there have been a few things — outside the arena of the most intimate of interpersonal relationships — that I’ve enjoyed so deeply that they have, over time, come to be ingrained, have come to be mythologically archetypal, in my brain’s comprehensive sense of “pleasure”. Of late I have been thinking a [...]

Fairy Dust on the Day’s Entrails

Moody — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:01:40 +0000

“The theater of noise is proof of our potential.”

We welcome entropy, inertia, the maintenance of routine and its dissolution in thoughtless reveries, sex, new products, bright lights and big noises, war; the pursuit of happiness. In our glorious social hives we countenance no deviation from the de facto parameters indicated/sanctified by skilled interpreters/priests of market [...]

Reading & Viewing Pleasures

Moody — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 20:42:59 +0000

Home on short-term medical leave (I had my gall bladder removed after a couple trips to the ER for gallstones), I’ve had some time to reacquaint myself with something that used to be called “leisure time” but what is now called “unhoped for and needed respite”. Below is a list of items I’ve either [...]

Four in the Must-Have Category

Moody — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 05:46:27 +0000

The following four albums — however different from each other they may be — should be considered indispensable for your music library. Each proves itself on its own terms, building on the merits of those that preceded it. While any one of them might not be your cup of tea, there is not any doubt [...]

Note to Self

Moody — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 04:34:10 +0000

You have not loved until love has stayed, unbidden, and over the course of myriad minor eternities and multitudinous brevities has recreated you, poisoned you, saved you, possessed you, freed you, ignored you, inspired you, exhausted you, succored and wounded you, maddened you and given you sanity. You have not loved until you have utterly [...]

Enough is a Good Thing

Moody — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 04:19:44 +0000

Enough of the heat, the clinging clothes damp and as effective for baking and retaining juices as foil in the oven. Enough of the thick, wheezing humidity of yet another breath. Enough of capitalist saints and all the other unoriginal sinners clambering up from the pit of because, clamoring for an angel dusted slice of [...]
