Why you’re not married

Posted by Lincoln February 21st, 2011

You want to get married. It’s taken a while to admit it. Saying it out loud — even in your mind — feels kind of desperate, kind of unfeminist, kind of definitely not you, or at least not any you that you recognize. Because you’re hardly like those girls on TLC saying yes to the [...]

New beginnings (and good things come in threes)

Posted by Lincoln February 3rd, 2011

The past few months have been pretty rough, and at times it’s been damn hard to even manage to get out of bed. I’ve come so very close to breaking down and making a phone call I know I shouldn’t, but thankfully I’ve managed to avoid that mistake thus far… probably because I haven’t been [...]

Failures

Posted by Lincoln January 27th, 2011

The thing you have to remember is - nobody else is paying as much attention to your failures as you are. You’re the only one who is obsessed with the importance of your own life. To everyone else, it’s just a blip on the radar screen, so just move on.

Advice

Posted by Lincoln January 21st, 2011

If all you can think about is her eyes, her ***, her tits, or that face she makes at “the moment”, you are NOT in love. You are horny. Do NOT marry her. If you catch yourself wanting to show her that puppy or funny poster because it will make her smile, or wanting to [...]

Cheat day!

Posted by Lincoln January 16th, 2011

Week one of the keto diet is done, it was easier than I expected. By the last two days I was getting pretty sick of the food restrictions, but it wasn’t too hard to stick to as I knew today was going to be cheat-like-a-blond-nymphomaniac-day.
Cinnamon buns cut in half, stuffed with Nutella, dipped in french [...]

Samsara

Posted by Lincoln January 9th, 2011

I’m going to work at this as a project over a lifetime if that’s what it takes to be free. I’m going to start now. In order to be free I simply have to see things clearly, in this moment, as they are.

A Prayer

Posted by Lincoln January 9th, 2011

May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.

It’s gone

Posted by Lincoln January 5th, 2011

That’s right, the hair is all gone. It’s been a good six years since it was this short, and it’s taking some getting used to. I’ve already had a couple of people not recognize me.
The leftovers are going to a good cause, it’s getting donated to the Locks of Love. I’m sure someone else needs [...]
