You feel like you’ve been comatose for most of your adult life. Or maybe you hope that you have been. Events swirl past you in vivid bubbles, caught in time. Am I? Was I? Clarity becomes confusion, confusion becomes pain.

You struggle to open a pack of cigarettes. After chain-smoking your way through four or five cigarettes, you reach for the bottles of pills. You choke down the last Vicodin with fruit juice that may have been sitting on the desk for 2 or 3 days. And you wait. You wait for beautiful numbness. You wait as the clarity dims, and the scorching depression bubbles down to lukewarm.

I took most of this week off in an effort to finish the final publishing details for Loki Listens Volume 1.  I think the effort went pretty well.    You can now purchase my first book for download directly to your Amazon Kindle!  I’ll have details on the print release soon.  It’s in the final approval process.  I’m also working on a release for mobile readers.  More details on that soon.  Also, please remember the book is available in eBook(PDF) format for free on the ‘Classroom’ tab at the top of this page!

As many of you know, I am a regular guest on the podcast, Something Kinda Techy.  There is a new one up now.  You can listen to all of these podcasts from here.

In personal life, I’ve had some bad dental problems this week, but I believe they are now resolved.

With all of that out of the way, I think we are ready to head into Part 2 of The Cost of Magic.  Look for it tomorrow.

Had a job interview over the phone that I think went pretty well. Second interview is Thursday.

The Developmental Theology eBook can now be found under the ‘Classroom’ tab at the top of all pages. It is 100% free, please feel free to pass it along to your friends.

I get to go see the eye doctor for new glasses on Saturday. woo. Can you tell I’m excited? :p

I feel a bit like the blind leading the naked today. I’ve got Tom Waits on the jukebox, and a head that is moving too slowly for much creativity. But who knows.

I do have some pretty cool stuff coming up this week, just for you. The Cost of Magic is just about to get really interesting. Basic Ideology will continue in the efforts to help you think outside of the box. Also, check out the new Granadas tab above. It contains post from my tumblr account, Tear Gas and Hand Grenades.

Haven’t really accomplished much this week at all with all of the crazy Christmas business. It’s time to get back in gear though. Gonna get back to daily posts again this week. Try to push the envelope even further with more pieces to The Cost of Magic and Basic Ideology 101. It’s going to be a good week. Trust me.

And, I do have a bit of a surprise for you tonight! It’s finally here! Loki Listens Volume 1: Developmental Theology eBook! This is an early edition. We’ll see a second version at the time of print release with an introduction and some additional thoughts by our old friend Scarab.
