How to Stop Worrying
When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past. Hello. My name is Dena and I’m a recovering worrier.

The Gulf Oil Spill
How is it possible that humans killed in excess of one hundred million fellow humans in the twentieth century alone? Humans inflicting pain of such magnitude on one another is beyond anything you can imagine and that’s not taking into account the mental, emotional, and physical violence; the torture, pain, and cruelty they continue to inflict on each other as well as on other sentient beings on a daily basis.…

The filmmakers are looking to expose the mass slaughter of dolphins that is taking place there.

Where the Hell Have I Been?
Deep into the night of my twenty-sixth birthday—12:47 a.m. to be exact—someone hacked into my site and installed malicious adware. I am not sure what that term actually means, I have a general understanding, but I don’t care to know the extent of it. Simply put, I was crushed when I realized what had happened.
