Alright so this site has been resurected more times than Lazarus. If only it would stop dying we wouldn’t have this problem. I had been in the process of moving some files, no I didn’t forget the site, I just sort of … well, neglected it. I also forgot to upload my last site update and well, seriously, years went by. I feel like it is time to either scratch everything that I have written or well, keep going.

EDIT: I decided to move Milky has been on hiatus for a while. You may have noticed? Well, that is slowly coming to a close, though not an abrupt halt. I felt like writing today since it has been all too silent on here. Nosi has been bugging me to come back and post an update for some time now. Ironically, now that I am sitting here and typing she feels like it is the perfect time for pets.

Really small in fact. It is only due to the fact that work has picked back up thanks to the corona vaccine. Had we not got it rolled out as fast as we did I would still be sitting here boring you. Today is just a quick update to let you all know that I am still here. There will be time for a more thoughtful blog later.

What is embarrassment? The act of blaming yourself when things go wrong? Art Markman Ph.D. wrote: “there are two distinct emotions we commonly experience—guilt and shame.” Which one you experience tells something about who you are. Guilt How It’s Defined When you do something wrong, or perceive that you have done so you experience guilt. Shame How It’s Defined When you define shame, you do so by defining yourself as wrong.

I mean we will get their in the end, regardless of the mode of travel.

They say that history repeats itself. And I find that particularly fitting analogy since when you look at the macro level you can see many instances of this appearing to hold true. But that is it. Most of the time I feel we fail to look at the micro level, the personal level, which is equally as valid. We often repeat patterns, both good ones and bad, that cultivate our lives.

We have the freedom of choice. Choice to do the right thing. Choice to act against our best interests. Does that make us unique? We make many different choices all of the time, even those of us who are indecisive, which shape the way our day progresses. Rarely is the choice taken from us. And unlike some other animals we are not driven by instinct. That comes with responsibility. The bigger the decision we are required to make we are faced with more responsibility or consequences.

Update: Wow, I didn’t even think that I had any readers, yet, you must be out there because this entry has generate some hate mail, or at the very least negative feedback. One even demanded that I remove the post because it was disrespectful, which was ironic given the wording used in their email. Here is a question: Do you enjoy the MCU? Then enjoy it. I don’t. That is my opinion, which you will have to live with.

Say what? Milky Fangs? So what if my site is named after my cat, Nosferatu, who I did not name by the way. The shelter picked her up as a stray and since she wasn’t chipped and they couldn’t find her ower(s) Nos ended up being put up for adoption. The woman said that they came up with the name because she reminded them of the vampire in the 1922 German unauthorized and unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula.
