Topic Du Jour

In keeping with an idea I found on Litemind, here is the Topic du Jour: Home. For those of you unfamiliar with this exercise, this is where I ramble on for a few paragraphs about said topic, probably not reaching anything so lofty as a conclusion.

So without further ado:

What makes a place home? Comfort, peace, a sense of ease? The kitchen? The bedroom? A boundary drawn between the chaotic evils of the world and ourselves?

And, of course, let's not forget congenial company. Family, relations, friends, acquaintances. Well, maybe not acquaintances. And the gods. (Or God, if you prefer.)

All of these are parts of home, but the whole - the ideal - is both larger and simpler.

Someone's home is an intimate description of them: their sense of aesthetics, cleanliness, religion, literacy, etcetera ad nauseum. For example, I'm a messy slob - my home reflects this. I love food, as the wear and patina of use in the kitchen testifies. I'm a spiritual person as evidenced by what for lack of a better word we call the altar room. And so on.

Chez moi. My place.

Go Figure

So yet again here is this poor, lonely blog floating in cyberspace. I guess Google doesn't believe in euthanasia. Honestly, I wouldn't be posting this if it weren't for a couple of notifications that people are following me.

Huh? Following me? Now I feel like a spy. Or like a poor person walking into an upscale department store.

Anyway.....

For those of you who haven't been continuing your educations, here are a couple of places to check out - because ignorance = FAIL.

Litemind - invaluable for those nifty little ways of improving thought processes themselves and just cool sh*t in general.

Covenspace - myspace for pagans. Sadly, it comes without all the apps, music and other time wasters that bling up the actual myspace. Still, an excellent resource and nice people. Go say hi if that's your thing.

Selfmadescholar.com - many, many FREE resources. From languages to college courses and all kinds of other stuff. Yeah, you don't get a piece of paper saying you learned it, but then again if you don't keep learning stuff, your brain rots.

PrincipiaDiscordia.com - Life is Chaos. Read all about it here.
