Miracles Move Me

By  PAUL HACKETT THERE'S A BINARY CHOICE TO MAKE in response to the realization that you're getting older. You can either begin or intensify the contemplation of your own mortality; or you can invoke the only line of Dylan Thomas you can half-remember and start doing things that assert that you won't be shrugging on the cardigan of acquiescence anytime soon. For good or ill, as I barrel toward the big   4-0, I find myself in that latter category. That's why "chemsex" caught my attention. In this anemic milieu of 2016 -- marked by resurrected mom jeans, apprehended AR bunyips, and meticulously doctored photos of eggs Benedict -- chemsex sticks out like a sore penis: a sore penis being the absolute best-case scenario arising from what Wikipedia defines as: "a subculture of recreational drug users who engage in high risk sexual activities under the influence of drugs within groups." The page goes on to tell us that chemsex is: usually but not

Just when you think you got a complete grasp of a situation, issue, circumstance etc., and you begin to move ahead with dedication basing your decisions on your analysis. WHAM!!! New data that was completely obscure but absolutely relevant and essential in guiding your path in a purer, cleaner, authentic, humane, unregretful direction comes barging in like a tidal wave.  Of course, for a brief moment, everything in your mind and surroundings seem to get swished around, toppled over and ruffled.  You have to ask yourself, "what the fuck"??? However, yield to it. Receive it. That is possibly how you were meant to learn this new detail.  Sometimes things have to get turned upside down for them to make any sense in the end.

They say ignorance is b

BY  MICHAEL PRYWES Our society trains us to ignore our instincts, mocking those who “trust their gut”, when the reality is that in your day to day life, your intuition is a powerful force. It represents millions of years of evolution, which warned our ancestors what was and was not dangerous, even if we could not reason it out at the time. Unfortunately, you don’t have the time to reason about every single decision you make through the course of a day. Some things you handle by routine, but other times, you need to trust your gut and take a leap of faith. All of this is especially true when it comes to romance and finding your soulmate.

Eat Healthier (Photo by  Alex Ranaldi ) Though a lot of stress is psychological, there are also plenty of physical factors that contribute to this natural human response to perceived danger. In order to mitigate stress, make sure you’re treating your body right.
