How to Use Your Dark Night of the Soul to Create Miracles in Your Life

Having this mental illness is like playing hide and seek with Satan inside my head. I deal with the compulsions well. I no longer touch things eight times, and by melting light bulbs, I have stopped turning them on and off 12 times. Although I still obsess with the doors, I check them four tim...

I’m Going Through My 2nd Dark Night of The Soul

Three years ago, I went through my first dark night of the soul. At the time, I had no idea what it was. All I knew was that my sense of self was suddenly changing, like a ship adrift in a sea of uncertainty. It was as if life had hit the reset button, and I was left grappling with questions that...

Sorry Wordle, There’s A New Puzzle Keeping Me Up At Night

I’m writing this at 5:30 a.m. Why? Because my latest obsession woke me up an hour ago. In January 2022, I was one of the millions instantly smitten with Wordle, the word clue game. At the time it was the perfect level of complexity-accessible enough to solve, but challenging enough I f...

How to Read “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh

We often experience the night sky as countless pinpricks of light set against an impossibly dark and silent black — such is the way a starry night appears to the naked eye. Yet Vincent van Gogh painted something quite different: a spiralling light-filled figment, replete with texture, waves...

One Night in Oz

In the land Down Under, where kangaroos roam and executives ponder the future of data, I found myself entangled in a web of serendipity, misfortune, and artificial intelligence. Picture this: Melbourne, Australia — a city buzzing with innovation and cultural richness, where I was slated to spe...

Thailand — Exploring Bangkok — Patpong Night Market

I was only in Bangkok for the night, so I had little time to look around. The last time I was in Bangkok, the place didn’t connect with me, and I left to explore the countryside after one night. I enjoyed wandering around, visiting The Bridge on the River Kwai and Hell Fire Pass. As I li...

Thailand — First night in Bangkok, Thailand

My first night in Bangkok was not a great start. I got a ‘Hong Kong’ feeling on my first night in Bangkok. I made my first visit to Hong Kong after spending a week in laid-back Bali, and I found Hong Kong to be overpowering. I felt I had made the same mistake with Bangkok. I had come ...

Please Tell Me There is Still a “Mischief Night”

It’s been hard to hold on to the traditions and times of our Gen X childhoods. Case in point: Halloween. Most kids today have never even heard of “Mischief Night.” In 1982 in Chicago’s West Rogers Park neighborhood, all twelve year-olds I knew — including me, as well...

Ghost Story Saturday: A Stormy Night in Edinburgh

It was a dark and stormy night in Edinburgh, the kind of night that made you want to stay huddled up in bed with the covers pulled over your head. But I was a brave soul, or at least that’s what I told myself as I set out into the city. I had heard rumors of a ghost haunting the winding str...

066/731–23 Oct 2023 ) Digesting tasks from morning to night!

Same as yesterday, I had to stay at home the whole day and digest my tasks. I have a plan to meet a friend tomorrow, so I don’t have time to do them. The first task is meal prep. I cook dishes in advance so that I easily eat meals only heating with the microwave. Today’s main ingredie...

A Mysterious Act on a Rainy Parisian Night

My wife was nine months pregnant on a wet, dark, and cold December in Paris. Raining cats and dogs. “La vache qui piss” as the French say. I’d just left my office to jump on my scooter home to get my wife and three-year old, and then take the car to the clinic where son n...

‘The Last Night in Paris’

I still marvel that the universe and the French authorities have allowed me to move to Paris. After many years of longing, working, raising awesome kids and watching them go off in their own directions — and then a year and a half of COVID, for heaven’s sake — I got to follow my he...

A Barefoot Night in Paris

Prepping for Our Night Out Before we left, my dad, being the kind soul that he was, gave us money to go have a fancy dinner in Paris - on his dime. We were stoked and planned out our dinner super far in advance. Before we get to that part, I need to set you up for the tale. Jordan and I had co...

37. Didier Shows Me a Special Night Club and a Co-ed Spa in Paris.

Didier feels some inherent pressure to impress me, the guy from the mecca of film and entertainment. To quote from a Depeche Mode song, there have been countless feasts laid at my feet / forbidden fruits for me to eat. Like a Ferris Bueller gone off the rails, I thrive on diving into the r...

The Dark Night

Iseem to be dark nighting at the moment. It is a familiar pattern to me. I have been through several of these now. The dark night can feel unpleasant. Painful feelings and memories bubble to the surface like toxic sludge — and there is a self-loathing that hangs over me like a fault-finding...

COME AND PLAY IN THE MILKY NIGHT (DEMO)

Getting older doesn’t always mean getting wiser. Sometimes, in getting older, we get more lost in the sauce of life, ignoring its sticky residue lingering and dripping off our bodies. Sometimes we justify our continued ignorance because we’ve mistaken getting older with getting wiser. Bu...

And this night Chopin appeared…

A fresh and mild night of middle January, as it is here in the desert, with a happy wind outside. While I was writing, and thinking about so many things totally unuseful, as we all do, like problems, future, past, decisions that in the end we cannot control… I use to sit always near a p...

Early Bird or Night Owl?
