So I started reading this Tom Robbins book, Still Life with Woodpecker

Sunday, February 1, 2009

Read this. I’ve tried to keep a little bit of the story in the excerpt without detracting from the meat of what I’m getting at, because the character of the book is just so charming. That being said, don’t get distracted.  Also, this quote is pulled from a couple of different sections of the book, […]

2008 to 2009 Transitional Period

Monday, January 5, 2009

Ok, I’ll keep this short, because I’ve got more necessary things than blog posting to be doing.
Here’s the point: I’ve been getting sloppy.  I was way excited when school started last fall, and still am for that matter, to have moved up to Seattle, to have work to support me, and to be able to […]

Another one I did not write, but liked

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

My friend from high school, who moved to New York for college (and after? I think), who is gay, wrote this:
Yes We Can. Yes We Will.
One Giant Leap for Mankind, One Small Slap in the Face for Homosexuals
11/5/08
By Michael LaMasa
Last night’s presidential election and all the amazing and wonderful emotions that came along with is […]

Yes We Can. And Did. And Will Do.

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

This is a note that a friend of mine wrote on Facebook, and I just wanted to pass it along. Cheers.
I cried tonight.
I did.
I cried watching Obama speak in Chicago.
I watched the speech at my downstairs neighbor’s house. I’ve never been inside, but I heard his TV and asked if I could come in.
I sat […]

Iraq War Costs

Sunday, October 5, 2008

I’m just futzing around on the internet looking at statistics about the cost of the war, and comparing them to what we could be otherwise spending that same amount of money on. I thought I’d throw up some numbers just for the heck of it.

From the U.S. CBO (Congressional Budget Office), an estimated total for […]

Sometimes, I’m Wrong

Monday, March 24, 2008

Sometimes, I’m proven wrong. I like to think that all those ridiculous magazines with pictures of bulky men, promises of better sex, and tips on eating healthy are just full of bullshit that only is really applicable to you if you’re a total a-hole/d-bag (notice the absence of any actual curse words?).
However, apparently I am […]

In a Strange Turn of Events…

Friday, February 15, 2008

I find myself entirely satisfied with my life.  Even the wobbly bits.

Spontaneous Combustions of Elation

Friday, February 8, 2008

I’ve been overworking myself for maybe several months now, and since I have always placed my happiness in the hands of successful deep relationships with the opposite gender, something I currently don’t have, I have been somewhat adrift as to where I am to focus my pursuits.
However, sometimes I have what I like to call […]

“Where the Birds Always Sing”

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Hmm, I generally listen to the Cure album “Bloodflowers” just because it’s got a “feeling” I like, whatever that means. But I noticed the words on this song.
The world is neither fair nor unfair
The idea is just a way for us to understand
But the world is neither fair nor unfair
So one survives
The others die
And […]
