Natura Umana

All humans originate from a surreal concoction of brilliant, yet flawed chemical engineering. To be more specific,  you originated from sperm and egg, which once entangled in an eternal love embrace, it carries your unique DNA code and distinguishes you as an individual.

I don’t dismiss the genius behind our creation. However, when I think of the chemical wonders behind all life, the image of Jerry Lewis playing the role of the Nutty Professor comes to mind (not to be confused with Jerry Lee Lewis of rock ‘n’ roller notoriety).

This internal Gordian Knot of brain mush, makes juggling fire sticks while standing on one leg, blind folded, seem like child’s play. This centers around what I call the Big 5 categories in life: emotional, spiritual, social, physical, and sexual experiences. Given this complex juggling of our inner-selves, within an already-complex ecosystem, makes any given day of your life a potential cluster-f*** of a proposition.

I could have easily called this section Clown Show II. However, given that I write from more of a clinical point of view, I felt the category Natura Umana, which means human nature in Italian, deserved its own identity; just like a twin brother or sister.

Covid-19 and Fear

Covid-19 and Fear

If the world is good at anything, it is two things: war, and hysteria. No, not the best-selling album Hysteria from the rock band Def Leppard… I’m talking about the Y2K-type of hysteria. For those who do not know the Y2K reference, let me explain…

Letters from Dr. Noettall #2

First, let me offer you some background. In my previous correspondence, I described a new subspecies, which I, Dr. Noettall, classified as the Capulus Drogota. It was during one of these visits to a strip mall, when I was continuing my observations on the habits of the Capulus Drogota.

Man Eating

Man Eating

When people hear the word “eating”, the image of civility is usually the first to be conjured up. However, eating is actually broken into categories. The first category is what I refer to as habit eating. It is the daily regimen of eating up to 2000 calories of food per day, as established by the original design. It contains two sub-categories; informal and formal habit eating.
