Two people contacted me, disturbed, after noticing things missing from my Facebook timeline — they didn’t realize I was deleting items and they thought perhaps they were being blocked or rejected.

When I saw Barton Fink in 1991, I liked it, and I thought I understood the movie.  But, it’s easier to understand today. Sometimes things just get all balled up at the head office.

When I was little, my favorite record was a 45 in my parents’ collection of the Beatles. It had I Want to Hold Your Hand on one side: And I Saw Her Standing There on the other: I Saw Her Standing There was my favorite of the two.  I definitely know the feeling, now. Paul…

Dear Adam, Since you are the only person I know who works at Google, I hope you’ll pass along this sentiment of appreciation for all Google does.

I worked a billable total of 2 hours this week.  I spent the rest of the time in my room wishing the world would stop making so many sounds.  Sounds trigger flits of anxiety in me when I’m playing hooky from work and the world. I repaired these black shorts with duct tape (don’t worry,…

As mothers day approaches, I feel I’m a highly skilled loser. I intended to write “I feel like I’m a highly skilled loser” but instead I accidentally labeled myself.

Dear Jordyn and Joshua, I miss you. Mucho Love, Joseph Michael Winett

This was originally entitled, “There Was No Creator of the Universe,” but that seems open to interpretation. A kid’s universe is pretty small, but seems like enough, your idea of the universe might be everything you see in the sky at night, I don’t know. People sometimes use “creator of the universe” to mean God.…

In 2005, when I was ordered not to have any contact with you for three years, I was in shock all the way from the courtroom back to my bedroom — I was numb, like the numbness one would feel after losing a limb, I’m guessing.  It was a respite granted by my brain in…

Here’s how I chose the Quake gamer name “aBigHairySpider:” When Quake came out in 1996, you had to choose a player name.  I messed around with several.

The notion has been popped into my noggin that this blog needs to be edited and then collected electronically for on-demand printing through Amazon or a like service.  My ideas are going to need more money than I can make through my daily labors.  I can, thankfully, now afford the setup fee for the publishing.

[11:08:31 AM] Joe Winett: Tumblr is another brilliant idea. Those guys can’t be making very much money, if any. They make a commission on themes, I think.

One question I have about you is Why do you live the way you do?

The stuff I’ve “seen” myself really wasn’t perceiving our universe from a different spacial dimension, but of perceiving everything from a different aspect of reality, or at a different resolution, but I have to admit I’ve experienced some wild wild stuff that I know for a fact was just generated by my own imagination, filtered…
