Sleeping preferences
Do you sleep with a light or TV on? Or complete silence and darkness
I sleep with music and a little light

Humans are sensitive
Some are lacking in some areas and may be prominent in others
While Aristotle famously listed just **five** senses, modern neuroscientists and physiologists generally agree that humans have anywhere from **21 to 33 distinct senses**.
By breaking down the traditional categories into their specific neurological receptors and adding internal monitoring systems, here is a breakdown of 20 recognized human senses grouped by how they function.
### The Traditional Five (Exteroception)
These are the classic senses we use to perceive the world outside our bodies, though science now splits them into more precise mechanisms.
* **1. Ophthalmoception (Sight/Vision) * The perception of light, color, and depth via the photoreceptors (rods and cones) in the retina.
* **2. Audioception (Hearing)* The detection of sound wave vibrations by mechanoreceptors in the inner ear.
* **3. Olfacoception (Smell)* The detection of airborne chemical molecules by olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity.
* **4. Gustaoception (Taste)* The chemical reception of flavors on the tongue, split into sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.
* **5. Tactioception (Touch)* The perception of physical contact on the skin, specifically triggered by pressure receptors.
### Somatosensory & Spatial Senses
These senses help us navigate physical space and perceive physical changes to our skin and limbs.
* **6. Proprioception (Body Awareness)* The "muscle sense." It allows you to know exactly where your body parts are relative to each other without looking (like closing your eyes and touching your nose).
* **7. Vestibular Sense (Balance/Equilibrioception)* Managed by fluid-filled canals in your inner ear, this allows you to maintain balance and sense body rotation or acceleration.
* **8. Thermoception (Temperature)* The ability to sense heat and cold through specialized nerve endings in the skin.
* **9. Nociception (Pain)* The perception of nerve irritation or tissue damage. This is a completely separate neural pathway from standard touch.
* **10. Chronoception (Time)* The subjective perception of the passing of time, governed by distributed networks in the brain (including the suprachiasmatic nucleus).
### Interoception (Internal Bodily Senses)
These are the sensory systems that monitor your internal organs and chemical levels to keep you alive.
* **11. Hunger* Triggered by peripheral chemical signals and hormones (like ghrelin) indicating the body needs nutrients.
* **12. Thirst* Monitored by osmoreceptors in the brain that detect blood concentration and hydration levels.
* **13. Pulmonary Stretch (Suffocation)* Receptors in the lungs that detect when they are full or empty, forcing you to breathe when CO_2 levels get too high.
* **14. Chemoreception (Blood Oxygen/pH)* Internal sensors in the carotid arteries that monitor oxygen levels and blood acidity.
* **15. Baroception (Blood Pressure)* Receptors that sense the stretching of blood vessels, letting the brain regulate heart rate and pressure.
* **16. Gastrointestinal Stretch (Fullness)* Mechanoreceptors in the stomach and intestines that signal when you are physically full.
* **17. Urinary/Vesical Stretch* Receptors in the bladder wall that signal the need to urinate.
* **18. Visceral Pain* Separate from skin pain, this is the dull, aching sensation from internal organ distress or inflammation.
### Cutaneous & Refined Senses
These are highly specific sensory receptors located primarily in the skin that are distinct from basic pressure or touch.
* **19. Pruritus (Itch)* For a long time thought to be a mild form of pain, science has proven that itching has its own dedicated, independent nerve pathway.
* **20. Tactile Empathy/Pleasant Touch* Triggered by unmyelinated "C-tactile" nerve fibers, this sense specifically responds to slow, gentle stroking, releasing oxytocin and signaling social bonding rather than just physical texture.

By the way in case you'd like to read the book
I wrote 3 of them. There's also 5 coloring books but
The death of racism
It's in the blood
And
Racism is cap
Are 3 books containing the same info but written in different forms for different audiences.
The death of racism is the one that I believe will be going mainstream and global.
They are free easy to read and take little time to finish.
Once you see it you can't unsee it

Life after adult films is not allowed part two. The new excuse for the denial.
In a previous blog, I explained how I was not given my job back this season as a lifeguard, which led me to believe that I was googled, and it was part of a discrimination sort of theory but I was given a new excuse today, via an email only after I requested to speak to a higher up to see what the decision was based on I was given this email and apparently there was a credit check done, and now the reasoning is that my credit has prevented me from being rehired. Again, nothing has changed since last season.I have never even had a credit card in my life.My credit is not so good but I don't really have credit.Still, it hasn't changed, so I'm still not understanding how I'm being denied.Has anybody else ever dealt with this before?And what do you think I can do about it?I still feel like it's not fair

Life after adult films is not allowed apparently
Well... as some may know i was employed last year as a lifeguard here in Las Vegas but surprise! This year I'm not able to be rehired due to "background check" I have nothing on my background besides being an adult film star. I've contacted a lawyer but at the end of the day I guess too many of you have wished for my return and you have won.
So. I will be returning. I just need to figure out how to get it going.
Congrats!
Lol

Once upon a time in Dana point with ribeye steak
Once upon a time I was having a very bad day...
I packed up and moved my whole self to a beautiful place in Dana point. A man came by and we grilled some ribeye steak. We laughed and had a glorious evening... the end
Based on a true story... wish I knew how to find him again...
