Several years ago, when I still read Reddit regularly, I was in r/photography. I read a post asking how one went out and took photos. The poster noted that many people were able to get out and take photos and yet they weren’t. The trite answer was, just do it. Just go out and take the photos. Even at that …
An Anniversary of Sorts
I used to remember the exact day that I quit smoking, it was a Thursday, that much I still remember. It was the one year anniversary when my cousin got married, that too, I remember. It was in the afternoon, sometime after work. I was 29. I didn’t take note of the day I quit drinking. It wasn’t such an …
Introverted Autism in Today’s Job Market
Or why I feel like I’m f***ed Introversion amplifies the challenge of Autism. When one is Autistic and extroverted, one can simply steamroll, can just spew forth from the mouth and become the face of Autism. There is different masking when one is extroverted. Some shades of the spectrum become easy to spot, the voice or the “Rainman”-esqueness of them. …
Unlocking Worlds, Turning Pages: Diving into a Literary Wonderland
I have been working on my book corner page and then shelving it for at least two months. I finished it and now I have my second published page on the site. My current reading lists, books that I am reading, want to read and have read. I added a top header to the page as well and was able …
Cemeteries are so cliché
I still love their beauty. Sometimes there can be whimsy. To me, it is about form. As Marcel Duchamp declared with Fountain, form can be viewed independently of function. Though without the function, we would not have the form. And sometimes without the function, we may not have the emotional connection to the form.
What THEY don’t want you to know about THEM
There is no THEY, there is no THEM. It is 2024, it cannot be possible we are still able to use the “What THEY don’t want you to know…” as a hook. This should have gone the way of the dodo. Or maybe I am affiliated with an Illuminati group and am actually just here to tell people that THEY …
Add title when you figure the subject
This has almost gotten away from me, this idea, this plan, of regular content. My fear of making trash posts without content, just to have something up, became an excuse for not writing. Also just plain forgetting. The sinusitis is just icing on the not gonna happen today cake. I have medicine to help with the stuffy head and I …
That’s not what I meant to do
I came here to add a new page about the books that I’m currently reading. I went to add the page and got distracted by not having a privacy policy page published. Then I wanted to add it to a menu. Then I updated themes and broke my front page and had to try to figure out how to fix …
Mercury is in retrograde, until tomorrow
I didn’t actually know what Mercury in retrograde was until about five minutes ago. Here is a nice write up about it. I set myself the goal of actually doing something with this web space beginning this year. I would otherwise be in bed, nursing this sinus crud, except I am not that tired tonight, though I am beginning to …
T-Shirts!!!
Three exclamations worth!!! I have wanted to make t-shirts since I first began Flecks of Art in 2012. I even had several ideas together and mocked up on the site. I did not take the time to make it happen. There were print on demand services then, they just did not seem quite so easy as they are now. I …
