  • Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Sexy Canning = Botulism

    Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

  • Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead

    I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

  • My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland

    So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half.  Prior to this  med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years.  And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

  • Broken, The Internet Is

    Broken, The Internet Is

    So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

  • A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling

    Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies.  It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead.  I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that.  What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically.  Yes,  yesterday I was…

  • Angst (Review)

    Amazing review of Angst (seriously what a well written review!) by fellow author S.A. Williams.  Thank you! Angst (Review). via Angst (Review).

  • Writing Makes You Look Fat In Those Jeans

    Before we jump into the list, I gotta say that I’m not sure I’m the first one to say that writing makes you look fat in those jeans.  I can’t be sure.  It’s like my reader mind and writer mind got together and screwed each other when I wasn’t paying attention and birthed this idea…

  • How to Become a Self-Published Author in 101 Easy (Hard) Steps

    How to Become a Self-Published Author in 101 Easy (Hard) Steps

    1. Have an interest in writing, an obsession with words and a desire for self-expression (Hear me Bitches!) 2. Have a story to tell, one that is itching to get out (Clawing, ripping or shredding or exploding to get out is also appropriate) 3. Be a lover of reading and books (How I love thee,…

  • Dreamer Wake Up

    Dreamer Wake Up

    I got lost along the way Not knowing east from west or north from south I stumbled, destiny unknown Is your perspective slipping? Mine is floating away into nothingness Into a dreamer’s world of paint and pictures Sun drops fall on my head Dreamer wake up Show me, show me the world as intense as…

  • OMG…it’s Optimism! Whaaa?

    So… after re-reading my last post, I feel the need to take it and flip it on its head because I just read a few blog posts here that really got me to thinking that I need to be more positive (and/or visualize my success).  I can hear your gasps of disbelief from here, stop…

  • The Lazy Rant or This Shit is Hard

    The Lazy Rant or This Shit is Hard

    So I’m sort of entering a few days of depression. I can just feel this shit manifesting itself in me.  I’m feeling down, frustrated, easily irritated and totally overwhelmed.  As I’ve probably said before, there are simply too many things I want to do and not nearly enough time.  It sucks!  Something has to give. …

  • The Dark and the Light

    The Dark and the Light

    I’ve always been enthralled by the Light and the Dark of life. I like the emotional moments, the moments that define us, expose us, make us think and truly feel. My life has always been like that. Days where I’m happy, content and days where everything is black and dark. I think depression is part…

  • Thank You Readers & Bloggers!

    This Season of USA is Lit!

    These writers on this season of the USA are doing a bang up job keeping us on the edge of our seats! Let’s just hope they’re not like the writers for LOST! Buckle up for some existential rambling DREAD below! (Don’t worry, it’s…

  • The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    The Happy Forgotten Place Where Plastic Lives: The Landfill

    Remember that place the so-called Landfill? I know you’re like…”What? No? What place? I don’t recall anything like that.” (All said while avoiding eye contact). Well, I’m here to point your attention in the direction of your local landfill, filled not with LAND…

  • This is Why We’re All Overweight

    This is Why We’re All Overweight

    I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

  • Germ-O-Phobe

    Germ-O-Phobe

    I’m a certified Germ-o-phobe and I will proclaim and admit all you like.  What I’ve realized recently about being a Germ-o is that it’s not really about the germs at all, it’s about my brain. I have to be a Germ-o to satisfy my brain, to basically convince my brain to keep quiet and stay…

  • World of Horrors! (Pre-technology)

    World of Horrors! (Pre-technology)

    Did you know that approximately 15 to 20 years ago we didn’t have the technology that we have today? Is it stupid to ask that question? (A: YES!) I feel like I was born at a unique time in modern history because I lived without technology and now I’ve evolved as technology has evolved. For all you youngsters…

  • Turn Noun for Bacon

    Turn Noun for Bacon

    We’re trying out a little experiment for a friend of mine, Jessie of Jessie Janelle Reyna, called Turn Noun For What.  It’s basically where a bunch of bloggers create a blog post on command about a certain noun.  Today’s word bomb of the day, children, is: Bacon. What can one really say about Bacon?  It’s…

  • My Short Term Memory is Shot

    My Short Term Memory is Shot

    Lately, my short term memory has been failing at life. It’s taken a nice long vacation and has not returned. It’s getting scary you guys. I used to be so on top of things and now I’m a sad shell of the woman I used to be. Guys, thoughts will appear and then they disappear…

  • The “Feeling Hellish” Fairy

    The “Feeling Hellish” Fairy

    I was driving home from work the other day when I started thinking about how shitty I’ve been feeling lately.  And whenever I think about how shitty I feel, I think about how I want to “gift” that shitty feeling onto someone else. Like, here ya go, feel how I’m feeling.  How does that terrible…

  • Small Cat Diary

    Small Cat Diary

    Mr. VS and I have been watching a show on Netflix entitled Big Cat Diary. It’s a BBC show with a few Brits who travel to Africa and film big cats doing their thang. I.e. hunting, killing shit, having adorbs kittens/cubs, murdering gazelles, fighting among themselves etc. It’s pretty good.  But it makes me want…
