Eugenics Begins With You…. Aigo, Aigo, Aigo. February 3, 2011. Dinner, in my family, is pretty conventional. But dessert: dessert is when we talk about death. Once the plates are cleared and the sanka brewed, we’ll pass around shingles of thick, buttery pound cake, and wrench at the anecdotally deceased like a flock of drooling vultures. Who’s dead? Who’s dead, or who’s dying? When my mother died, no one said a word. We all withered in our grief, but we did so silently. Like offering someone an Altoid.

Eugenics Begins With You…. I’m kindof a bad person, I think…. November 11, 2010. I called a cancer patient a solipsist today. But in my defense, she was being toooootally solipsistic. Like, really. It was an apt description. And: If you wanna be accurate here… I didn’t really call. A solipsist. I just said that the point she was making was solipsistic. But did she appreciate that nuance? Nooooo. She got offended, and accused me of demeaning her. So: What have we learned? Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Diane...

Pins and Needles | Eugenics Begins With You...
https://eugenicsbeginswithyou.wordpress.com/2010/11/16/pins-and-needles
Eugenics Begins With You…. November 16, 2010. Both of my legs fell asleep tonight while I worked at my desk grading papers. A deep sleep – each leg numb up to the cheek. Suddenly I had to pee. There’s no way I could walk to the bathroom. I tried walking on a numb leg like this once in college – I wound up collapsing in a heap. My cat watched me the whole time, his face a mixture of confusion and disgust. I’m almost 30 years old. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Join 9 other followers.

Eugenics Begins With You…. February 18, 2012. I am a straight, white male of upper-middle class means and European descent. Which essentially means, on some intrinsic level, that I’m kindof an asshole. It’s not intentional. It’s not a choice. I’m born this way. I am the beneficiary of a long line of straight, white males of upper-middle class means and European descent… all of whom were slightly bigger assholes. The only thing I can do? Learn as much as I can about it; try to keep an eye on it. So, with ...

Eugenics Begins With You…. October 19, 2010. 8221; Nobody makes fart jokes. There are no slutty vampires or crime-busting cops or lusty doctors. It’s just people and their problems… sitting in one place… talking. I can’t think of another show like it, and I doubt I’ll ever see anything like it again. That’s due almost certainly to the subject matter. What better setting is there to explore human drama than a therapist’s office? It’s damn impressive. Why shouldn’t I be? What if I’m not? But then there was...

Eugenics Begins With You…. The Requisite Juan Williams Post. October 24, 2010. I’ll get this out of the way first:. Here’s a terrifying statistic from back in ’03 – please click this link, it’s important. I think this shred of evidence works two-fold here – both displaying the danger and unprofessionalism of Fox, and the quality of NPR). This is, to me, black paint to the mind. This is toxic, and dangerous, and all too common. I say this because I want to establish that I am, in fact, biased:. 8220;Look,...

Eugenics Begins With You…. May 29, 2010. Six Degrees of Robert Langdon (Redux). April 14, 2010. This is the more self-indulgent version of a blog I’ve written for The Splinter Generation. For the more professional version, click the link in my fun little blogroll over there –. No, we weren’t proud of it. But, you see, the remote was so far out of reach, and we were so very mired in a hammy, wine-dyed stupor. 8221; It’s a good question.

Eugenics Begins With You…. Farewell to All That Part One: In the Beginning…. June 28, 2011. So it’s been a week. And, as far as I’m concerned, a week is a while, really. It means something. Seven days. Seven. The ancient Jews and Christians went bonkers over the number seven. David Bowie wrote an underrated song called. It’s a psychologically satisfying number. It makes one think. Reflect. So here’s the first of what I hope will be several entries regarding my quitting smoking. I’m done. As bad...In the ...
