I didn’t hear a damn thing until I was six.
Gue Dewi, mahasiswa semester 9 di Jurnalistik di sebuah PTN.Saat ini gue udah nggak ada mata kuliah reguler, hanya skripsi berjumlah 6 SKS. Meskipun cuma satu mata kuliah, gue merasa ini jadi salah satu fase terparah dalam kehidupan kuliah.
I had no idea I would never see him again.

Exactly one year after the worst night of my life.
My wife and I split chores in the household. We don’t share. We are very clear who does what because when you…
“There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.”…
This is my new favorite word. It explains the experience of this interesting little world that I’ve been introduced to. The many levels of erotic artistry that have gathered around it like a campfire. Each one having a turn and holding the stick to speak their naughty truths. The rest of us sit back and…

What do I say? No really, where do I begin?
My neighbor shares crazy stories with me from throughout his life. If you’re intrigued by the life of an artist who lived through the 70’s and 80’s in San Francisco and New York City, then these are the stories for you.
We know that life isn’t a competition. We’ve heard it a million times,
While most of us are chatty and gossipy with our mothers, discussions with dads are something we try to avoid. And these talks are…
The idea of art is the point of discussion. To a certain degree, art can be about mental health.
Anyone else remember the days when people actually knew stuff?
“I know it says we are in San Diego. We are not in San Diego. We are in Mexico. We have to say we are in San Diego.”
The lady who was fostering our potential second dog volunteered that information before I asked. I was fine with her being in Mexico. I…
Everybody has a 24 hours a day. But we need to work 8 hours and 1 hour for lunch. So, we live in office around 9 hours a day.
Most of the people sleep around 8 hours a day. 2 hours to prepare to go to office. Wake up at morning. Showering, prepare the clothes. Take bus or train. It will take…

Or my personal favorite, “Everyone, grab your seat and sit on your hands!”
These phrases, in my experience, barked kindly or not so kindly, always came with a threat: trouble…
Do you have a better you that you need to be?
The art of not worrying.
Worrying is different from concern. Do not confuse the two.
When you worry, you lose control of your calm and become susceptible to making mistakes while concern is a necessary step in problem-solving.
I can remember thinking to myself “why can’t I just shake this!”. “Why can’t I just be like everyone else and get…
The futility of chasing outcomes shows up when an Olympic 100 metres silver medalist becomes the runner up only because he ran .01 seconds slower than the gold medalist. He got the process right because otherwise he wouldn’t be standing on the podium.

It was time to get on with it. I was 20 years old, I’d been in the “Music Business” for 3 full years and I had nothing to show for it. I was done chasing naff “Record Labels”. The ones I found being no more than…
What has been your mark on the world? What have you created? If you feel anxious to read those sentences, maybe the question now becomes what will be your mark on the world and what will you create? A future tense more palatable than the past. Know that it is never too…

We were standing in the back of the largest room of Recruit Memorial Chapel at RTC Great Lakes when I told her that, looking up at her with her hands in mine, just after the Catholic service had ended. I’d been raised and…
One simple question that can cause you to breakthrough to a whole new world of thinking. Why. The. Fuck. You? Just sit there and think about that for a minute.

I moved to the United States in January of 2008. Until then, the only thing I knew about American politics was that president Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Little did I know how much politics will influence my…
Here’s some ugly truth. You never heal from the loss of a loved one. You only get used to the life that follows the loss. That is not healing. That is dealing.
My wife and I are now in our ninth month of living overseas. And we still haven’t booked our return…
Father’s Dying Act
After a couple of cold rainy nights in the Texas Hill Country, a search party was almost certain a prankster had them fooled again. Thirty-three-year-old attorney and judge, Jerry Sneed, was known for his sense of humor and pranks throughout his youth. Now as an Air Force Veteran and Law School graduate…
Some interesting responses. I have lived and worked in many countries in Europe plus Venezuela and the USA. Most of this took place many years ago as I have been retired for 35 years. I have kept up to date thru travel, investing and friends in many countries. And I am a voracious reader.

How I found out about my friend’s secret child.
So I have this friend, I’ll call her Seyitan so I don’t expose her. We’ve been friends for about 4 years now… I’ve lost count. Seyitan likes one very famous musician who always gives a reason for leaving his former music group in every song and at every show he performs. I’ll…

Fearlessly embracing life at thirty, even if -especially if- we don’t measure up to the modern ideals of success.
The woman was wrapping birthday presents for her daughters when I told her that her husband had been killed.
The universe sent me a sign and I cried. I didn’t recognize that it was a sign.

I have a theory.
Ever notice how as you “evolve” through your life you become “aware” of things on a continuum — you might be sitting on the patio with a friend, you’re basically the same age (or maybe not) — you say something like “I didn’t really put that together until recently”…
While that I look constantly if I am ready or not.

Dear Jessica Brennan,
Sometimes I get a nagging feeling in my heart. A feeling that makes me want to wander to a new land, or start a new adventure. It feels like something is wrong, but there’s nothing wrong really. Do you ever feel like that?

You may not believe in God, but Harry does. And, he prefers to phrase some comments to include the subject of that belief. I believe that’s called free speech, the very thing Orwell’s essay, and his book, warn us to protect.

True enough! I recently changed job to get closer to my wife and children. From a big city, to a smaller one, from an interesting job in a major tech Co. to a less interesting one in a smaller transport Co. During the first weeks I kept trying to convince myself about what you’ve just written. So true and helpful. Happy to read it now, even though I’d have appreciated it even more a few weeks ago! Thx
. . . I love that saying!
This is your life.
Sometimes you live inside yourself. You hunker down like the darkness has weight. You think you are waiting for that someone you have pre-picked, unbeknownst to them, to be the one who saves you.

Very nice Nick. A lot of stuff to think about.
I’m always really nervous before a presentation, and always hope it doesn’t show, which, of course, backfires.

I believe that there is life out there.

A poem about when I started noticing
2018–08–28
A night. A day. I realize the world gets worse.
Everyday, the world just gets uglier
And uglier
My world is blank
Life is empty
Days are monotonous
Lifeless and dreary
No escape from the pain
Been walking down this forest
1 Corinthians 5:6–7 (KJV)Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

With the retreating tides, we realise the unseen power of our moon.

I will not tell you that the problems you face aren’t real, but I’ll tell you that it all emanates from your mind which still makes it both real and sincerely unreal because you can trump it. Though it may not feel that way when you’re stuck, but you have to tell yourself and believe it.
