  • life’s a bitch…

    life’s a bitch…

    Life’s a bitch and then you die.  Is death harder than life? We all know that life can be hard. But is dying the hardest part of life?  I’m inclined to think that the act of dying is the hardest on the person doing the dying. It seems to make sense but upon more reflection,…

    no one plans a murder out loud

    Today I want to talk about Silence. Silence is golden. The full idiom is “speech is silver, but silence is golden” meaning that words are important, but sometimes it is better to say nothing. Source: theidioms.com This phrase was translated from German to English in 1831 by poet Thomas Carlyle. I found that there are many…

    email etiquette: writing kind emails while screaming evil subtext

    It happens to all of us, it could be a coworker, a school related problem or just customer service for the cable company; you have a problem, and you need to write a professional email to ask them to do something, fix something or give you some information. Suddenly you find yourself screaming at the…

    can music soothe the socio’s soul?

    Does a sociopath have a soul?  I want to say no but as a part-time aspiring sociopath, I know I have a soul. I have evil thoughts (that I don’t usually act upon) and I have kind ones (that I don’t always act upon) LOL. But when the evil ones are taking over and I’m…

    waking up in angry pants

    Have you ever woken up in the morning and you were just mad?  You don’t really know why, well you kind of know why but you thought all those angry thoughts would go away from the day before. You had a bad day yesterday. It could have been work, or maybe something your significant other…

    robotmom

    I have a nickname that I am not particularly proud of, ROBOTMOM. I didn’t get it in a fun way, and I don’t know that I like it very much, but my inner sociopath kind of likes the nickname and has a lot of fun making fun of me for having it. It was given…

    i love you but i want to smother you with a pillow

    We all know someone, a significant other, a co-worker, a best friend, maybe one of your own children, that you really, really and truly love…most days.  But sometimes and possibly multiple times in the same day, you could just as easily SMOTHER THEM WITH PILLOW! I know that you are now thinking about that person,…

  • does anyone really want to know how i am?

    does anyone really want to know how i am?

    It’s the universal greeting in most of the world, “How are you?”  We use it every day, multiple times a day, saying it unconsciously but (usually) not really meaning it and (usually) not really caring about the response we get from the other person. Most people utter an obligatory “Fine” move on, go about their…

    my origin story

    Origin stories, we all know what these are.  It’s the why, when, who and where of how something started.  It can be about a superhero or a super villain, or just an ordinary person like you or me. https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/what-is-an-origin-story-definition/ https://www.gamesradar.com/50-greatest-movie-origin-stories/ When I grow up, I want to be a sociopath has an origin story.  It’s…
