Feb. 13th, 2011 09:05 pmWell, I am going to try once again to start posting on LJ. I am finding Facebook to becoming a little too trivial for my taste. Add to that there are things I want to write about that just would not be appropriate for my Facebook audience.
One of the subject that I am going to be working talk about is how I have been hurt by both my former employer in Charlotte, and by the actions of the members of Thornhaven Grove. Those two events have made me very angry.Both were deep and serious rejections of me, my works and things that I cared about dearly. I haven't had a level of anger in my life to have learned any real anger coping mechanisms. It used to be enough to turn up loud some hard rock music...and the anger would eventually flow away. But that doesn't work anymore. And this has had some unfortunate side effects...the first of which, at it's base has been a major case of foot-in-mouth disease. Thus, in the past 3 years I have not been nice person on various electronic forums. In fact, I have now been accused of purposely trying to start fights on-line. Now, don't get me wrong, I like a good debate, but I have gone past debating and it has turned into attacking. I didn't perceive this, of course. And I am hurt by people accusing me of, essentially, bulling on-line. And that is why I have pulled back from participating on virtually all on-line conversations, and even many verbal group conversations.
I'll detail in later posts what the Charlotte and Thornhaven things were. Both incidents were ultimately rooted in religious intolerance. And both affected me deeply.
As I am still unemployed, I have decided to embark upon something that will keep me challenged and occupied, and give me a semi-creative outlet. I've decided to start a weekly pagan news podcast. As my birthday is coming up on the 19th, I am going to try and have a demo episode put together by then. Part of it will involve research, which I enjoy, as well as composing a theme song and some incidental music. I am aiming at a very high quality of production, which is lacking in most pagan podcasts, and podcasts in general.
I'm going to try to get in the habit of posting once a day. We will see how that goes...
