Psychopathy for the Dumb
Psychopathy is a superset of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). It is comprised of many facets and is a complex disorder. It is not related to psychosis and the differences between those psychopaths that are in prison and those that are free are many. Likewise, the term ‘psychopath’ cannot be applied to what I would term […]

Mandatory Silence … Fall in Line
No one wants to be seen as the odd one out. Whether it is a matter of mandatory respect, or mandatory altruism, there is a dynamic that encourages everyone to fall in line regardless of whether the individual shares a common belief or not. The alternative is stigma and abhorrence. I spent today, Memorial Day […]

Compulsion for Hate
I’m hungry and I need to feed. I’m thirsty and I need a drink. I’m idle and I need to act. The life of the successful psychopath is full of frustration; we know that there are lines that cannot be crossed no matter how compelled we feel to drive further. God knows I want to […]
New Social Media Outlets
Starting with this post, my social media presence has been expanded to Facebook and ello. My main foci are still Twitter and tumblr, but we’ll see how active I am on these other networks as well.

A Tale of Two Masks
With the influx of additional readers over the past few months, I probably should remind my base that these posts are not the only source of my writing. Those that use mobile clients to read my works are probably especially unaware of that which I am referring to. Back in December 2013, as a response […]

Symmetry – Death as a Reflection of Life
Readers familiar with a certain not-so-well-received Metallica album may remember the lyric: My lifestyle determines my deathstyle Mortality has been on my mind a lot lately as I home in on my 30th birthday in a couple of months. I’ve escaped death countless times and will undoubtedly do the same in the future until I […]

Violent Static
I could be in recovery for any number of things. Alcoholism, drug use, eating disorders, and criminality have defined my life at various times and to various degrees. None of my demons will ever truly go away; they are merely mitigated and silenced on a daily basis. I suppose that is what separates the 77% of […]
Marginalization and Discourse
Marginalized groups can marginalize others. Restated, a group can be persecuted and still behave badly. Few want to admit this fact however; too many paint those groups that are marginalized as perfect angels. Maybe only a fraction of those marginalized behave poorly, but we still tend to think of the marginalized as off limits for […]
