Nails – A Tribute : 30 Days of Truth
Day 13 : A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days. (write a letter.) Preface: In the liner notes of “Pretty Hate Machine“, the first studio album by Nine Inch Nails, there is a statement that says, “Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor.” Indeed, it is.

Control, or Lack Thereof : 30 Days of Truth
Day 12 : Something you never get compliments on. One of my more recent posts eluded to a crisis in my life. I haven’t revealed it yet, because in all truth, I am rather ashamed of some of the realities of my life. In personal writing lately, a rambling piece entitled “Write it Out, Right … Continue reading
A Blog-o-versary!
I am in serious shock. Aside from my personal journal, I have never kept a project going for more than a year. Truthfully, I can’t take all of the credit. If Pendulum didn’t have an audience, I would have been discouraged enough to abandon the blog. If I didn’t have such wonderful friends here, I … Continue reading

Just a Quickie
I am currently unemployed for the next twelve weeks. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. I have a lot of personal things to work out. C.S. will be diagnosed soon. I know he’s going to need me. T.D. is old enough to start preschool in the fall. That’s going to require a lot of doctors … Continue reading
Conscious, Subconscious, and Extraconscious
I began the original discussion of my theory of multiple consciousness in a response to An Open Letter of Apology. To summarize, the theory of multiple consciousness stems from the existence of a conscious, thinking brain, a subconscious brain working in the background, and a third “extraconsciousness” that works somewhere in between. This is not … Continue reading
