Things Life Is Too Short For

One of the reasons we get stressed is that we fear death. One of the reasons we fear death is that we would likely miss out on doing the things we never got to do before we died. So, we spend what’s left of this life cramming in as much "quality time" as we possibly can, in a race against death. Life is too short for that. To help you prioritze your "life list", "bucket list", or just your average day, here are things you can not bother stressing out about, because life is too short.

Comfort In Conspiracy Theories

March 15, 2008 – 12:45 pm
Read More By Rena

There’s nothing like a good conspiracy theory, isn’t there? Just give me a full cup of tea, a box of Cheez-Its and a television show on any random conspiracy theory, and I’m a happy camper. It’s not that I feel superior to the "idiots" who believe in conspiracy theories. It’s that I feel exactly the same way they do — except I happen not to believe in the conspiracy theory, which is a minor detail. I get great comfort from this, even when stressed out (and I have certainly been stressed out this past couple of weeks).

Let me make this clear. I’m not trying to make fun of anyone who believes in whatever conspiracy theory. In fact, I’d like to thank you for helping me to not only relax, but get to tolerate my fellow human being.

Nourish Ourselves - Blog Review

March 7, 2008 – 10:52 pm

New Blog Review- Nourish

Quick Summary - This is a new blog called Nourish so where it is going is not easy to tell. This author is a good writer. A little uneven, but the approach is good. Design is a very plain blogspot theme, as such it is ok, I would like a little lighter color selection to lift the mood abit.

Blog Content -

A single quote from the blog gives one a good feel for the tone of it. " I feel…better? I’m not sure what it is to feel better, so it is taking me a while to recognize it. " It is, so far, a mostly personal journey, but written with an awareness of the reader. I look forward to seeing where it is a year from now. There are some interesting resources in the sidebar.

Blog Design - One word, standard. The sidebar has an interesting introduction to the blog and some related resources. I would lighten up the colors a little.

C. Technical Review

From a technical view point it is a very simple blog. One widget that is new to me and though it takes up quite a bit of space is Shelfari. It is worth a click and a quick browse. When the blog develops more content I would consider adding a category based menu.

Zen and the Art of Complaining

March 7, 2008 – 9:54 am
Read More By Rena

Okay, so I couldn’t resist the title.

I’ve been officially dropped by Medicaid. I now have no health insurance or prescription drug medicine of any kind. I wish I could say my freelance writing covers all my bills, but it certainly doesn’t. I have to be on Prozac or I get suicidal. I hate the government, I hate Big Pharma, I hate my stupid endogenous recurring depression. Waah.

There — I’ve complained. I’m done complaining now. And yes, I do feel better, thank you. Now I can get on with doing my job, walking the dog, eating my…wait, I think I missed the last couple of meals…anyway; I can now concentrate on getting on with my life. And that’s Zen and the art of complaining.
