MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: still relly today ;0D
LETTER FROM A BIRMINGHAM JAIL, CIRCA 1963 …I am cognizant of the inter-relatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single…

BOBBY: could somebody teach me how to date without getting cold feet?
Sunday, November 26, 2000, Age 19 Okay, so I haven’t written for awhile but something very very bad has happened and Jen isn’t here to tell, which if she was here I wouldn’t have done it, so damn her! No just kidding, but what happened was tonight Jared and Bobby and Jes and I smoked…

MENTAL ILLNESS: Sexual Assault, Suicidal Ideation and Eating Disorders, oh my!
NOTE: I will not be correctly diagnosed with my primary condition until the age of 26, with numerous additional conditions following from there. Tuesday, August 1, 2000, Age 19 Did you ever think about swallowing a bottle of pills just to see what would happen? Or how about slitting your wrists, just lit-tle cuts, but…

IT DOES NOT RESONATE ON A RICHTER SCALE?
Why I love Nietzsche ;0P “…he repudiated Christianity not because he considered it too rational but because he considered it the archenemy of reason…” “…with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more; this created all gods and afterworlds. Believe me, my brothers: it was the body that…

NIETZSCHE, MY LOVE: to remember ;0)
Of all that is written, I love only that which is written with blood. Write with blood and you will find, that blood, is spirit ;0)

SOCIOECONOMICS ;0D
And, of course, social struggles… Monday, July 31, 2000, Age 19 Hi. I have nothing to wear tomorrow. Was it really me who thought it would be a good idea to sell most of my clothes (for a fraction of their actual cost) so that I could ‘start over’ with a new and better wardrobe?…

SOCIOLOGICAL PROGRAMMING: making up my own mind (a.k.a. be *careful* what you WISH for ;0)
Sunday, July 30, 2000, Age 19 So much to say, so much to say! Okay, so this appearance thing is really becoming quite the irritating issue these days! I have this on-going fight going on within my conscience with one side wanting to be rail thin, but then there is the other side that just…

C.S. LEWIS, MY LOVE: Christianity and fake “news” in American politics ;0D
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS/Chapter 14, Circa 1942 My dear Wormwood, The most alarming thing in your last account of the patient is that he is making none of those confident resolutions which marked his original conversion. No more lavish promises of perpetual virtue, I gather; not even the expectation of an endowment of ‘grace’ for life,…

GROWING PAINS: life in Minnesota.
Sunday, July 16, 2000, Age 19 Hoorah! Have lost seven pounds since one week ago! Am on track to making ex-boyfriend’s dwell in complete misery and they will be very sad they ever let me go. Or better yet, let me walk away. Hah! So, first day at very big bank working through temp agency…

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT: social responsibility.
THE MORAL BASIS OF DEMOCRACY: Chapter 7/Circa 1940 The war-ridden poverty-stricken world of today seems to be struggling essentially with problems of economics and its ills seem to be primarily materialistic. Yet, I believe, that we do not begin to approach a solution of our problems until we acknowledge the fact that they are spiritual…
