dead to live - part I
I’ve been sitting at my window for many days looking to the distant hills for things that strike my fancy. Usually the subtle movement of something colorful catches the interest of my eye, and I always end up wishing I could be closer. I always feel as some majesty is missed in distance; […]
Dash finds a new home, then promptly alienates it
In the not too distant past it came to my attention that I just couldn’t keep my cat, Dash. He’s young, very young, with a ton of energy, and I’m gone most of the day most every day; not a good match. Additionally, I’m very allergic to the little guy which, it turns […]
swamp thing lives in SF
Dash ate my last set of headphones, the set I had come to enjoy more than any other I’ve had. It has been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to listen to my ipod on the go, and so today I broke down and made a trip to Walgreen’s on a headphone […]
suicidal tendencies
Suicide is a fascinating phenomenon to me. It is such a conflicting solution to overall struggle, but often the victim feels it really is the only plausible answer; even more often than that, the victim feels it’s the only way to save those around them, a feeling usually met with much anger and resentment, […]
Surprised, anybody? You shouldn’t be.
From the State of the Union:
America is on the verge of technological breakthroughs that will enable us to live our lives less dependent on oil. These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment — and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change.
You’d think, then, that the […]
I should be working… but I’m not
For the past twenty minutes I’ve done nothing but stare at my calendar. From what I can tell while looking at days today through the end of time I’m working about, oh let me see… add that weekend, carry the 1… all of them. My scheduled work days look something like this: ∞
I […]
I might be strangly angry at him
My father, step mother, and two sisters moved to Hawaii recently. The decision was made I think under duress and, despite the obvious concerns, followed through with in short order.
At the time, I was just sad; sad to see my family go so far away. That isn’t to say I spent much time […]
High school music
Tonight I find myself sitting on the patio in the cold, listening to songs I haven’t heard in six years; it’s comforting.
It’s comforting to know I come from somewhere, to know I have a history; all the memories of youthful heartache and foolish expectations remind me this melancholic ache is ok. Hell, if you […]
it’s time - part I
“I think it’s time; it isn’t like we didn’t see it coming.” Just ask me to stay and I will; please ask.
Yeah.
Oh; so easily? What about, everything? God, could it really be time? I know we talked about it, planned on it even, but I guess I secretly hoped you, we, […]
Oh, woops, you weren’t supposed to get approved
I don’t think I was meant to be an adult. I’m pretty sure I was meant to spend the majority of my life in a car somewhere between Brentwood and Walnut Creek. Put it this way: I don’t need matches to start a fire; just some kindling and a lack of adult supervision.
Tonight […]
