The Piel:

Quite disappointed—no new ecommerce sites…

…Prepped two

…Started back-end for a third

…Beginning talks for a fourth and fifth

Hopefully, by the time I finish these, I’ll be ready for sites six, seven, and eight.

Then, I gear-up for nine and ten to come next year while I continue writing.

My current goal is to open one new web business each week until my projects are off the shelf.

…The whole time, continuing to add content to existing projects.

Dear James:

I completely identify with your frustration. Having to change your move-in day due to no error of your own is indeed frustrating. But, I encourage you to look at two other angles. This is not so as to erase your frustration, which is indeed legitimate, but to balance your perspective, and thereby your emotions also.

You did, after all, “bank” on receiving a timely response from someone you knew was chronically tardy.  · · · →

Secrets and Vices

Secrets and Vices

The Piel:

Got another ecommerce site up and going: avenue.guru.

Part of the ongoing goal of starting one new ecommerce website each week.

Dear James:

This is quite an interesting topic you raise. Talking and sharing deep, personal stories shows courage. Generally, I would try not to worry about any of it.

When it comes to personal questions, I like to think of two main categories: secrets and vices. I’m not using these words as most do. They are more or less “Jesse psycho-babble”.

When I say “secrets”, I’m talking about those personal thoughts and habits that—we’re just convinced—would make other people dislike us if they found out. Actually, we would be surprised more than not. Personal secrets, like everyone has, can really bother us, and even drive us to do crazy, wild, and self-destructive things. They can make us reclusive, even suicidal. It’s best to get a handle on them.  · · · →

Progress and Prejudice

Progress and Prejudice

The Piel:

Got two sites up and going this week:

madchairs.com

noahamoss.com

Instagram account going nuts.

Watching a lot of live Trump speeches.

Dear James:

A lot of homosexuality isn’t homosexual. Rather, many normal, non-sexual, good activities get labeled as such by homophobes—proper swimwear, the color pink, good clothes, touch, listening, crying, art, music, introspection, dance, healthy touch, body contact, and the internationally known in-born desire to have some level of being naked with your friends—Asian spas, European saunas, and many things in America from skinny dipping to the athletic showers, not to mention health clubs. All these normal things were branded “queer” in the 90’s and, rather than questioning the premise of faulty-phobic definitions, everyone questioned God.

In sum, I really think you’re normal. I’ve heard what you’ve said. I’ve heard what a lot of people have said. You’re normal. But, you’ll never know how normal you are, nor live up to your potential, if you can’t get sex off your mind.  · · · →

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

The Piel:

Switched to Ubuntu this week. Kubuntu died.

Got a friend set up with an inkVerb server. All-in-one, email, cloud, blog, store, media, workspace, contacts. Another friend half-set up because I’m still learning.

Inches from opening three separate online stores.

Resolution: Open one new online business each week.

Took a break from politics. Less controversial…

Dear James:

Since you ask about religion, I should tell you my own view. Don’t be blind to how dangerous some religions can be. The big problem is with religions that try to force their will on others. Some people even try to “force tolerance” in the name of “religious tolerance”, which is a bunch of hooey. They just want to force what they want without admitting it.

When you form an opinion about a religion, you need to look at what its “sacred book” teaches. Never look at the individual people and members of that religion.  · · · →
