“Night is not something to endure until dawn. It is an element like wind or fire. Darkness is its own kingdom; it moves to its own laws, and many living things dwell in it.” –Patricia A. McKillip

5 confessions of a jaded mind
* Darkness gets a bad rap. It’s the light that blinds you.
* After a lifetime of study and experimentation, I am definitely an atheist. But if I had to choose one religion, I’d probably opt for paganism.
* I’d be far more interested in politics if the people who run for office were more principled.
* I just don’t like white chocolate.
* If I was a billionaire, I’d gladly sign the giving pledge.

I am grateful for cool, dark rooms
I’m of the firm belief that one of the greatest inventions of all time is the air conditioner. You may disagree with me, but come July, you’ll know your wrongness.
Another wonderful invention for the working vampire? Blackout shades.
I have these sun blockers on no less than eight windows in my house: three in my office, one in the downstairs bathroom, two in the hallway and two in the master bedroom. In my home, light shall not penetrate any area where I may be present during daytime hours.
Over the weekend, I picked up another blackout shade. The front door has an east-facing window so when dawn breaks, I get blinded by the sun’s wretched rays.
No more.
Ra’s efforts to burn my brain shall be thwarted again. Take that, you evil star!
