Oh hello! It’s been awhile hasn’t it? I used to write these every month, but I haven’t in months and months. At first I got down on myself for neglecting it. After all, it’s important, isn’t it? Well, yeah, it might be. But so is everything I’m doing, in life, work and my writing and art. And everything requires a little … Keep reading

After college, I applied to Americorps, not on a whim, but as a planned action. That kind of foresight was unusual for me, though I’d had flashes of long-sighted maturity throughout my development. Just not a lot of it. And I wasn’t sure if I’d get in or if it would do what I wanted it to do–guide my career … Keep reading

You might not have heard I hurt my back a month and some change ago. Not like, “oh, there’s a twinge. Looks like I have to skip bowling tonight” and more like, “oh my god, I can’t stand, I can’t move, I want to cry and please, please don’t let me be stuck like this forever. Please, please, please.” I … Keep reading

I used to complain that I didn’t have time for video games. And my buddy, when I mentioned this to him, said that that was bullshit. That I could make time if I wanted, but I didn’t want to. He was right. Somehow, I found the time, because I decided it was important. Surprisingly, now I’m not playing video games. … Keep reading

I don’t always have much to say. That’s cool. I like silence just as much as non-silence. One time when I was 7 or 8, I was down by the water, sitting on the dock. It was evening, warm, purples and oranges on the surface. I just hung there staring, thinking about whatever it is children think about. Totally happy. … 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

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
