Magic
Legend says, the natives who first saw the white men on the shores of what was then not even called America were at first blind to them. They'd never seen ships before, so they kept saying they saw distant "clouds” on the sea. Billowing sails can certainly look like clouds and they had no point of reference for such a thing. But the local shaman, which is kind of a cross between doctor, magician, and priest in native culture (depending on who you talk to) kept seeing something different. Every … [Read more...]

Potty Mouth
I have a potty mouth. I don't mean, "every once in a while I slip and say a hell or a damn." I mean, "fuck is my favorite word." I would say it all day if I could, and I often do.

I'm not a total Philistine--I mean, I know how to express myself without it, and I certainly don't go around writing it in the company blogs I write.
