men issues addiction
I'm fascinated by the whole issue of arousal addiction, which seems to be mostly a problem for young men.
hate monsters self-loathing
When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves.
stupid smart teaching
We thought all this teaching was to make us smart. What it did was make us stupid. With all the little facts we learned, we never had the time to think.
equal spectators everyone-is-equal
Everyone is equal and everyone is forced to participate; you can't just be a spectator.
death wisdom zero
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
love fun heart
Your heart is my piñata.
queens drones bees
Worker bees can leave. Even drones can fly away. The Queen is their slave.
risk church looks
My theory is that church used to be that place. Instead of being a place where you went to look good, it was a place where you could risk going every week to look your worst.
sex funny-relationship junk
My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich.
mom son mistress
The truth is, every son raised by a single mom is pretty much born married. I don't know, but until your mom dies it seems like all the other women in your life can never be more than just your mistress.
sleep insomnia
Am I sleeping? Have I slept at all? This is insomnia.
fighting frustration want
Everyone wants to be tested and challenged. Everyone would like a good, honest fight to exhaust their frustrations.
love success people
People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.
sadness drunk worry
When you're an addict, you can go without feeling anything except drunk or stoned or hungry. Still, when you compare this to other feelings, to sadness, anger, fear, worry, despair, and depression, well, an addiction no longer looks so bad. It looks like a very viable option.
