Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Doug's Mantras, PhilosophyMy son is a speed demon in his math class. He tries to be the first one finished and it is damaging his grade. To address this, I have him repeat this mantra.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Philosophy, PoetryI died but I kept on living
To prevent others from suffering my fate.
The chore of living broke my resolve
I bear witness to my mistakes repeated
By those I swore to help.
Lambs to the slaughter
All I can do it watch
For I died but kept on living.
Life without spirit
Is nothing more than death without an end.
Coffins never closed
Bodies never decomposed
Zombies all around
On some grand purposeless walk-about.
From point a to b and back again
Always feeling the same thing.
No spark, no variety, no fire.
Passion gone
Buried with the deceased
Even though he still breathes.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Deep Thoughts, Philosophy, Sex, Touchy SubjectsThe problem with porn is that you can see too much.
(n.b. I’m quite pleased at the numerous insertions of double entendres in this post.)

But very weak.

Destroying one takes mere moments.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Philosophy, PoetryMy inner middle schooler likes the middle of the week. This time of year, the walk to my son’s bus stop is dark. Jupiter shines in the sky but clouds obscure other heavenly bodies. The muscadine grapes have ripened to perfection. I accidentally knock one to ground. Pity. The weather is beautiful yet a storm threatens. The distance rumble of clouds and chaos are apparent only to me for the storm that threatens is in my head. I fend it off by building a high pressure system of calm and positive thinking. The storm, a low pressure system, moves further into the distance; at bay, yet ever present, waiting for other systems to build. And Jupiter shines in the calm skies.
Have you ever felt despair? September 28, 2014 10:55 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Deep Thoughts, Health, Mental, PhilosophySo I’m feeling a little down. Well, a lot down. Something uplifting for me is reading. So, I’m reading the Dresden Files. Jim Butcher’s first book in the series is Storm Front
add a commentHave you ever felt despair? Absolute hopelessness? Have you ever stood in the darkness and known, deep in your heart, in your spirit, that it was never, ever going to get better?…
