Tomato: October 2008
http://scottbob.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts on cereal, music, and the meaning of life. Monday, October 06, 2008. I have been summoned as a juror in Kane County. Presently I am sitting in a large room with about 250 of my fellow jurors. Jury duty is one of the only functions of the State that I actually don't need to be threatened with violence to comply with. I'm rather hoping I am selected and get to sit on a trial for some poor schmuck who committed one of the State's innumerable imaginary crimes. Update: (9:30 A.M). Twenty more jurors ...

Another gay Jew: 1/1/12 - 2/1/12
http://anotherfrumgayjew.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Note: I am a Jew, and I am also gay. I'm trying to do the best I can with two seemingly conflicting identities within one person. These are some of my thoughts. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. This post is dedicated to Eric James Borges. 19, and Phillip Parker. 14, the two most recent victims of bullying and anti-gay sentiment. Why is there this perceived trend? How can a person be gay and religious? Monday, January 16, 2012. Sunday, January 1, 2012. I guess I needed a bit of a break. My last post, while ...

February 23, 2010. Posted by qvashty in OJ schooling. 8221; The irony that this code word referred to non-kosher packaged food was lost on everyone, and “u-oh, Spaghettio! 8221; it was to be. Of course no one ever used it, and loshon horah is the matzah u-maror of of OJ girls and women, if I do say so myself. This certainly encouraged us to change our underwear under the bedsheets for modesty’s sake. And we learned that embarrassing someone is akin to murder. 1 sarah - February 23, 2010.

Another gay Jew: It Gets Better
http://anotherfrumgayjew.blogspot.com/2010/11/it-gets-better.html
Note: I am a Jew, and I am also gay. I'm trying to do the best I can with two seemingly conflicting identities within one person. These are some of my thoughts. Sunday, November 14, 2010. As many of you know, this week the gay Orthodox Jewish community released a video following Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" series, a statement from youtubers, celebrities, politicians and anyone nation-wide in response to the recent rash of teen suicides. You can find the video here. November 14, 2010 at 4:33 PM. I am he...

Run on the Big Evil Banks | Vashtyism
https://vashty.wordpress.com/2010/12/24/run-on-the-big-evil-banks
Run on the Big Evil Banks. December 24, 2010. Posted by qvashty in politics. I have been too busy with work and worry to write anything in a long time. What is happening to the economy has been particularly upsetting to me both as a well-informed intellectual type and as a person whose family is suffering the consequences. But there is one thing that you have the power to do about it, even when Obama and your Senators have sold you out to the billionaires. Overdraft on occasion, but they don’t char...

The Way to No-Thing: November 2011
http://thewaytonothing.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The Way to No-Thing. No-Thing is different than nothing. Nothing is something. No-thing permits the spirit of the way to reveal itself to you. Wednesday, November 2, 2011. Drugs Vs. Pot. The Centers for Disease Control reports overdosing on prescription painkillers is an epidemic in the United States, especially for men. Government researchers say more people suffer deadly overdoses from prescription painkillers compared to heroin and cocaine combined. Who is against medical pot and why? The Way To Donate.

Notes on Nothing: A Year's Update
http://jewishsceptic.blogspot.com/2010/12/years-update.html
Teetering between Jewish Orthodoxy and Atheism. Sunday, 12 December 2010. It's been a year and a half since my last post. There's so much to tell about what has happened to me since I started telling people I was an atheist. The past year or so has seen many ups, thankfully less downs and has just generally been terriffic. But I had better start at the beginning, or rather, from where I left off. We then all went together to the university organised after-party (strawberries and champagne, anyone? As you...
