Gairloch, cont.

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

In his plate armor, carrying his maul, he looked pretty tough…for a gnome. He had heard about this land above. He wanted to look tough. He wanted to look menacing. He wanted people to skirt around him. He didn’t want people getting close to him. He didn’t want them [...]

Breaking off the rust:
Gairloch stepped out of the cave entrance and into the brisk night air. The sensation of not having a roof over his head was disconcerting at best. Subliminally, he clung to the earth even more tenaciously than before. How did people keep from falling up?

Good Leaders

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

You know how there can be too many chiefs and not enough Indians? Too many people are trying to be the one(s) in charge, but nobody wants to do the work. I’m under the impression that good leaders also make good followers.

Do you have a problem making yourself understood to others? Do you sometimes wish for someone who could translate what you imply to say into meaningful speech? Are you one of many groups* who has trouble communicating with the rest of average society? Do you wish you had a better grip on not [...]

Sugar Experiment

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I’m currently trying to figure out why I’m so tired all the time.
My normal sleeping hours are from 10 PM – 5 AM. However, I’ve been to bed earlier all week. Usually I’m able to get right out of bed in the morning with no problems. Lately, I wake up [...]

Perspective

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

It’s a dreary day, if you let it be. Why allow the weather to control your mood?
When it’s hot out, you can use the air conditioner. When it’s cold out, you can turn up the heat. When it’s too bright out, you can pull down the shades. When it’s [...]
