Hi. I'd like to list a few thoughts right quick: - Christmas started before Thanksgiving - Were there even Thanksgiving decorations out in stores? - We all seem to say "it's the best time of year", but we go out trampling others on Black Friday and don't stop until Christmas Eve. - Isn't Christmas a Christian holiday? Right, so get your families in church, and if you aren't Christian, go to work! Don't only Jewish folk get out of work for Hanukkah? I'm obviously not a fan of this time of year. -.M.S.-

If I say I don't miss you, is that bad? It'd be the truth. If I say I miss you, is that better? It wouldn't be true. I guess because, it's expected, right? So I have to respond with the same answer. Regardless of how I actually feel. If I don't, that's bad, right? Like You say that you miss me, but do you? Or is that just something you say because you don't know what else to say? A lot of the time. I honestly do miss you. I tell you I've been thinking of you too. Right now, I really don't miss you. I'm pretty focused doing my own thing. Don't you have a thing to do? Let's talk later. That's bad to say, right? It's the truth. If I say I miss you, is that better? It's not true. I guess because, it's expected, right? So I have to respond with the same answer. Regardless of how I actually feel. -M.S.-04APR17

I've published my first book of poetry written in 1998. It isn't much, it isn't too great, but it is what it is.

It all started with wanting a Beta in a bowl. Evan says, "oooo get dragon dude", so...dragon dude and three crabs and a Plecto came home - 27APR16

Quickly discovered dragon dude is a Violet Goby, or a Dragon Goby he also goes by. That fish needs a bigger tank as he'll get to be around 2ft long. Not to mention everyone I picked up requires brackish, heated water. Oh...those crabs? Yeah, they aren't aquatic. They're amphibious and need some land. So, dragon dude came out, ladder went up, salt and heat were added - 30APR16

Here is the 30 gallon tank where dragon dude, Plecto man and several small Tetras, catfish and snails live happily with a Chinese Algae Eater. Minus adding live plants and some different decorations, this tank is good to go! - 30APR16

This is Crab and that is his castle. Don't mess with Crab.

Are you thinking about talking to me? I'm always talking to you. Maybe I'll just stop. Maybe I'll let you come to me. Would you? I've tried to stop many times before. Always I fail. Anxiety gets the best of me. My heart controls me. Before long, I break my silence and talk to you. Hours, maybe days later, you respond with one unrelated word. We used to be so different. So close. Nothing was unknown. I didn't worry, but I fought. Everything I wanted, yet I turned away. Because there was a little thing missing. Now we're just so different. Have your feelings changed the way I see that they so obviously have? I'm continuing to make a fool of myself. I'm far too open with you. Maybe I'll just stop. Maybe I'll let you come to me. Would you? Do you know I avoid seeing your face or hearing your voice? Do you know that I do it on purpose? Because I've let myself get hurt. For believing there was anything left. It's so easy to blame you. That's not the truth. All that is unspoken is what is lost. None of what is left will be heard. I can only blame myself for holding on. Would you tell me if I was wrong? Could you admit if nothing changed? It's not for me to wonder anymore. The hurt is far too strong, and I must walk away. -Prattle 26APR16

Custom Designed 3D Printed Ouija Boards and Planchettes

We are on a quest to 3D laser print uniquely designed Ouija boards and planchettes

Hi! This is the first post of many to come here on Outer Body Inner Mind :) I run http://outerbodyinnermind.com and have had the shop since 2009. I make 100% custom desgined, made to order soy candles, goat milk soaps, coconut oil lip balms, solid perfumes, bath products and a lot more. Basically, if it's in the category of what I make and you don't see it in my shop, ASK me to make it! I am now running a Kickstarter to allow my shop to start making 3D printed ouija boards and planchettes! I want to engrave on wood using the laser engraving tool built into the Glowforge 3D printer. Glass could also be engraved on for super unique, high-end collector ouija boards and planchettes! I even imagine being able to put portraits and my customer's custom artwork onto the pieces for them to make it extra special. So, if you could, pop over to the Kickstarter and pledge what you can :) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obimcrafts/custom-designed-3d-printed-ouija-boards-and-planch

Age is not always a sign of wisdom. Life experience does not always justify being well-rounded. A hobby becoming a job does not always allow for bragging rights. An ego only creates a world of make-believe. Remember, we're all human with the same basic needs and same basic feelings. We are equal, but able to excel in many different ways independent of each other. We still cry and bleed the same. In the end, the snake will bite his own tail. Remain aware.

The mind is a whirling, twirling, bubbling thing. It sits in a muck of juices and oozes, supported by jiggly wires thumping and bumping things all around. What an amazing thing it is.

Shop David Bowie’s new album ★ (Blackstar) in his official store.

The reasons why need not be stated. The fact is, he is gone. He did not go out as an old man, a burn out, a forgotten used-to-be star. He went out still working on the music that we all grew up on, even those generations before us grew up on his music. He went out surrounded by his family. He was sick and still rocking.

Most celebrity deaths don't have an impact on me. Even though I mourn their passing, it is not such a shock as this. I didn't get goosebumps reading the news and reading the posts of my friends didn't make me tear up. This is different.
