Religion and Sense of Self

I haven’t blogged in forever and a day. I’ve missed writing about some great shows and the Mets. Now I’m going to try my hand at something I used to do quite a bit and was my original conception of what Wise Madness should be, explaining my thoughts. Today’s topic is, why people follow religious […]

Shiva with Anticipation

I have made a disappointing discovery. Now matter how ready I am to write if my water bottle is empty, I can’t fill it psychically. I have to get up from my computer, go to the kitchen, and fill it. That would not be so bad if I had not previously discovered that no matter […]

Let’s see if this works. I’m forcing myself to write this morning. I can’t eat or watch John Oliver until I do. I want to get back in the habit of writing every morning. What did I do yesterday? I went on my Aldi Walk™ one of the many less fulfilling substitutes for my Donut […]

Mental Health Downs and Ups

I can’t wait to blog tomorrow as I have my infusion in the morning, so I’ll put out a rare late evening edition of Wise Madness. There was a time when that was the norm, and this would be considered early. I’d get home at 1AM and then blog. I should get back to some […]

E Pluribus Unum

Welcome to the continuing saga of my out of whack back. I desperately needed some food, and my back has been improving so I set out to go shopping. Even though I live on the second floor I took the elevator down, why? On my first attempt to leave I hurt my back on the […]

Radio Donuts

Things went back to normal yesterday and I took my Donut Walk™. I suspect I’ll skip it today because of the Seder but perhaps not. I am not going to let a little thing like keeping kosher for Pesach keep me from donuts the rest of the week. I’m a good Jew and eat matzoh  […]

Whee Festivus

Forgive me My Gentle Readers for I have sinned. It’s been three days since my last confession, that’s two days too long. Staying at home is not a good enough excuse, my body might be sessile, but my mind always wanders. My body wandered today, I had to pick up a prescription. That was sufficient […]

Visions of Paradise

I failed at dinner last night. I had planned on making dinner around 8 PM then I got a notification that Tribal Mischief was doing an interview with Alisa Amador on their Twitch channel at 8. During the intros I ran into the kitchen and made myself a peanut butter on chocolate chip brioche sandwich. […]

Think Happy Thoughts

How is everyone holding up? I’m going to continue to write about myself, nobody needs more anger and anxiety. One thing that gets me angry and anxious is that others don’t see it that way. They want everyone to be angry and anxious. I’m forever a hippie and advocate peace, love, and understanding. I’ll keep […]

Worship without Gods

I put what I was planning on writing on the back burner. It was a deep philosophical dive into politics, economics, and pop culture. Instead I’m going to write about something I actually know, myself. That’s not being honest, or virtuous, it’s being lazy. It’s much easier to write about me. I went on adventures […]
