Existentially, the wise woman has no ambition .

Day to day, in the moment,

the wise woman has great ambition.


She has aims and knows what they are for.

Thus she performs everything without existential rumination

on whether the thing she is doing

is the "right" thing.


Existentially, the confused woman has great ambitions.

Day to day, in...

No action is ever out of the question.

There is always a proper place and time for anything.


Take a man's daughter from him

and threaten to kill her

But who...

The  rain had come suddenly. Sammy had not checked the weather this morning. It had seemed like one of those days where the weather was going to stay put the entire time.

She didn't mind the rain. Her car was built to handle wet roads and she felt safe inside of...

He would feel his day unworthwhile,

when that buzz of caffeine not bubbling within.

Some guzzle the sludge

in order to be more "effective" at their job.



Some drink it

in order to simply stay awake.



Neither care so much for the quality

"Mom! Mom! Wake up!"

The day struck her on top of the head. Sleep threw her off the soft bed and onto a concrete floor.

On the drive to her house he felt how little control he had. She had picked him up from his apartment. She had taken him to the neighborhood to stake the house across from where her friend lived. And now it was she who had driven them way out into...

I believe I've written about a mere 100 lines of code at work in the past four months.

But it's been some of the busiest months of my life. What have I been doing then, if I am a  developer after all, at work if not writing code?

Analysis. Coordination. I've felt...

He wondered who would be at the cafe as he drove there. He likely would not have come, if it weren't for Hazel. Not that he was meeting up with her there. That would be creepy. He was no longer in high school or college. He was no longer even...
