Halloween Pumpkin
Here's a pumpkin I carved today for Halloween.

I’ve met a number of intelligent people of my own age, and I notice a lot of them are well read in literature. It can be intimidating for me occasionally, especially when I don’t read fictional literature very often at all.
This is not to say I don’t read. What …A Sunrise Meditation
There are days occasionally, such as today, that I woke up, and looked out my window to see the sun glow, sitting below the horizon. The sky is a mix of of blue's and violets, the windows have a film of condensation, softening the light further, and you decide to …
Newfound Interest with Animation
When I was a 56ker, Youtube was a luxury (as were most things). Now that I have a broadband internet connection, I've come to see a lot on Youtube as of late.

I came up to the register and asked for a “medium cup of regularâ€?. A bit puzzled, the cashier …Promotion
I had only been away from the forums a couple minutes to check on the news when I found that I had received an email notifying me about a new PM at GMG.
Edenb sent me the PM, congratulating me on my new Moderator position at GMG. I soon checked …Fear of Death

And yet, …Philosophical Thoughts
I’ve argued with others that as humans, we’re served more with our intellect than our emotions.
