I was recently talking to this dude about Incubus. It’s his favorite band. I had to say that I knew virtually nothing about Incubus besides it’s a band that exists. I don’t have any opinions about them, not because I care or don’t care, but because they debuted in a period of life in which I didn’t pay any attention … Keep reading

I’m not good at accepting good words. I’m good at giving them (hey you! Yes you reading! you’re beautiful and smart and such a hard worker) but taking compliments? Forget about it. I ain’t about that. What do you think, I gotta big head? WRONG! This is obviously stupid. We’re worthy of praise, guys. Me included. I’m working through this, ok? I … Keep reading

January 1, 2018 I like lists. I’ve always liked lists. There’s a pleasure in categorizing life and tastes and loves. Putting order to the brain brings calm. It brings Zen. It brings ocean waves and gentle breezes that waft, like, lavender or something. During a ten-hour train voyage, I put together my top 100 movie list. I used an intricate … Keep reading

Back in 2005, I did one of those cliche backpack-around-Europe things. It was awesome, obviously. I met tons of people, saw tons of sites (including my favorite Renaissance painting, the School of Athens!), did all the cool things. I also read a LOT, a lot more than I ever expected because there’s a ton of down time when you’re not … Keep reading

Just like everyone else, I get songs stuck in my head a lot. I’ve had this one in there for the past week. I’m not exactly sad about this, as it’s kind of a banger. Importantly, it’s gotten me thinking about the past. This song is embedded in my early 20s, in a really pivotal period of my life, when I … Keep reading

It’s been a slow couple months. Part of that is due to the nature of the Summer, part is due to my own work flow. I’ve been concentrating on a lot of work, trying to make everything I do quality, and letting certain aspects slip. This is a problem, because if I’m doing lots of stuff, but all of it … Keep reading

My update is a week and a half early. I’m not really an early kind of guy because I used to be the dude who didn’t understand that a party starting at 9:00 pm didn’t actually begin until at least 10:30. I was the dude who would show up at 9:00 on the dot and be puzzled why the hosts were kind of … Keep reading

It’s June now and it’s light jacket season for only a short time longer. I love light jacket season. I spent a lot of time watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and there’s one article of clothing the denizens of Sunnydale, California have a lot of, it’s light jackets. From one episode to the next, it was a never-ending series of cool-looking garb … Keep reading

April 1, 2017 Hi y’all! I’ve had a busy, busy few months. It reminded me of that time where I was busy for three years in my mid-20s and a lot happened and I definitely almost went to the emergency room. See, I went to visit some friends in Connecticut, which was three hours away from me in Manchester, NH. And … Keep reading
