I don't know how I do it...

Posted by Dr. Avery, 15 March 2008 - - - - - - · 154 views

For the record, I am sober right now.

I have this strange ability. I can shapeshift. Not physically, like a go-bot or a polymorph, but rather I can socially adapt to any situation. As with all superpowers, there are limitations. First, I must be in person. My ability to tune into a wavelength and take it over requires that I take a direct reading of...

The difference a week makes.

Posted by Dr. Avery, 17 January 2008 - - - - - - · 83 views

Things have been going really well between my wife and myself. Not sporadically, but solidly for over a week.

This certainly helps me not to be so panicked. There is no question that I've only barely saved my marriage, but I seem to have saved it none the less.

In retrospect, calling it quits has turned out to be the best thing that could have...

Some days

Posted by Dr. Avery, 31 December 2007 - - - - - - · 73 views

Some days are really bad.
Some days are really good.
Sometimes the worst days turn out to be the best of the really good days.
But most of the time, the days are inconcievably bad.

I lose ground at a constant pace, but I gain it back in huge chunks. Like an exhausted animal on an icy cliff. I am only able to advance when I have the adrenaline to claw...

House of whispers

Posted by Dr. Avery, 24 December 2007 - - - - - - · 79 views

I live in a house of whispers. Around every corner is another malicious sotto voce, and the nearer I approach, the quieter the whisper becomes. Once in the room, all conspirators go silent, without so much as an uncomfortable attempt at small talk.

To take the pulse of my house, I am forced to listen silently at doors and windows. I can't get much,...

Somehow, I am doing this wrong.

Posted by Dr. Avery, 16 November 2007 - - - - - - · 104 views

It is late, and something seems out of place. I think that something is me.

I can feel some kind of impending terror. As though there is a doom set upon me from which there can be no escape. There is no reason for me to feel this. Unless you count the fact that I am forced to speak in riddles and abstractions, lest the wrong person learn that I am...

9-14 calling me to flight

Posted by Dr. Avery, 15 September 2007 - - - - - - · 72 views

Early evening:

Everything transpires exactly as I have planned.
I spread my wings, still moist and fragile.
The wind seems to be calling me to flight.
She looks at me like a wolf eying a wounded meal.
She doesn't realize the trap I have set.

Crisp ozone sets the atmosphere.
Calling me to flight.
She moves in slowly, as I watch surreptitiously.
The...

Thursday

Posted by Dr. Avery, 09 January 2007 - - - - - - · 83 views

I have given up on the need to thrive.

I cannot understand this response
I do not comprehend the basis of this thing, pain
An emotion is nothing more than a chemical reaction deceiving electrical circuitry into a false sense of self-importance. there is no self. It does not exist. That which cannot be touched shouldn’t have to be felt. There is no such...

Chapter I, "On Fact"

Posted by , 20 May 2006 - - - - - - · 111 views

A seemingly simple concept is that of fact. Before I lay down any facts (the cornerstone of any reasonable opinion), I feel it is necessary to define the concept. A fact (whatever it may be specifically) is that condition or state, which within the realm of reality, exists. A fact, in fact, must by its nature be factual. Thus - that which is cannot...

Introduction to thought book XI

Posted by , 20 May 2006 - - - - - - · 60 views

Author's note: This is an online public archive of my physical handwritten journal (entitled Thought Book XI for reasons which will be elucidated shortly). Much of what is written was simply for self-amusement. If you are easily offended, you may not want to read this crap. It's not all that good anyway.The views presented in this...
