Black Dot Diary

Hi every­one, I’m not absent…I’m just spend­ing time over at Life As A Human but I haven’t aban­doned Black Dot Diary. Please check out my lat­est posts (and other works by some really inspir­ing writ­ers) at this new lifezine that cel­e­brates, explores and dis­cusses the expe­ri­ence of being human.

Here are some links to my recent Life As A Human posts…

Speed Trap: When Life in the Fast Lane Doesn’t Work Anymore

Excerpt: “I’m sorry,” I tell the cop­per, wip­ing my hand furi­ously across my face. “I don’t know what’s the mat­ter with me. It’s just a bad day. A bad, bad day. And this is just one more bloody thing on top of EVERY OTHER BLOODY THING.”

Ashes and Snow Stills the Crazi­ness and Stirs the Human Spirit

Excerpt: “Ashes and Snow, a 60-​minute fea­ture by film­maker Gre­gory Col­bert, is that good. In fact, I found it to be spell­bind­ing. At the risk of sound­ing melo­dra­matic, I would say this film comes close to being life chang­ing for me. See three amaz­ing video clips at Life As a Human].”

Being Ben­nie: Life with a Wise-​Ass Parrot

Excerpt: “Four years ago an alien arrived in my liv­ing room. It was grey with big black eyes, scaly feet and feath­ers. It spoke Eng­lish and could bite, hard. It also said “I love you” and would run around the house scream­ing “Help, Heeeelp!” when it was time for a bath.”
