Blood of the Unicorn
So this whole having friends and hanging out with people thing is really odd. Like, we’ve hung out the past two nights, we grabbed breakfast this morning and he like hugs me good-bye and is genui...
Saturno Contro
One of the pitfalls of saying everything is sunshine and lollipops, or just admitting to have a positive attitude, is that you leave the door open for something REALLY bad to happen. That’s usual...
The Unwilling
Shorty before Christmas, I called Edgar. I had seen him around town and he looked healthy, doing his steps for AA, so I wanted to reach out and see how he was doing. The conversation was fairly p...
The Eyes of Medusa
Richard went home early that morning and I drove him to his father’s house. They all remembered me and forced me to eat another breakfast even though I’d eaten one at my mother’s just minutes ear...
Twenty-Two Less Lights
You know, I’ve started around a dozen entries since the last one I wrote, and then some bombshell gets dropped on me while I’m writing, I stop and then I feel like I have to start all over again....
A Friendship in Three Variations
Sunday night, my friend Kat and I went out. She just moved to the Sacramento area from San Jose about a month ago but hasn’t been out at all because she is new to the area. I had a lot of anxiety...
Maya Angelou
I’m at work typing this because there’s nothing better to do. I just got a prank call from some kid claiming to be asking questions about PS4 vs X Box One, but I realized it was a prank call when...
There's Just Too Many Questions
My grandmother’s in the ER so I need to distract myself. 1.ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? I have a scar on each of my palms from getting a nail punched through both of them simultaneously...
Baby Baby
I’m supposed to be meeting Kendra for coffee in less than an hour but I can’t seem to get myself motivated to get out the door. Kendra used to be one of my very best friends and we did everything...
Blinded By the Light of the Day
Ever since they changed the settings on this thing, I haven’t been able to look at it. I finally figured out how to turn off all of that obnoxious WHITE glaring at me all the time. Ugh, not happy...
Meant To Be
I’ve been meaning to write, but the holidays mean that I have much less time and even less inclination. Things were kind of crawling along like they have for much of this past year. The differenc...
In the Mouth of Madness
My absence over the last several weeks was because I needed to get my head screwed on straight, and I wasn’t quite sure I could survive waxing on about the stress of my birthday. The truth is, my...
Susan Sharon
I seem to have found myself in some alternate reality. If you had told me two years ago that this is where my life would be at this point in my life, I would have laughed in your face and told yo...
Violet & Blue
Sarah’s wedding was this past weekend and as nice as it was, I’m so glad it’s over. The only reason being, weddings are fucking stressful. It was incredibly unnerving having to see people from th...
Idle Hands
What is there to write about? Another straight guy throwing himself at me, another lost career opportunity, more anchors holding me down. There’s a lot of monotony in my life right now. The other...
The Vase Is the Most Interesting Part of This Story
The other day, Sarah asked me to be in the wedding. I couldn’t think of a polite way to decline, besides which I figure how many weddings am I really going to get to be apart of. Maybe I’ll get t...
Question And Answer Period
Song that always makes you sad? Something About Us - Daft Punk Last thing you bought? Probably vodka. Last person you argued with? I’ll just put my mother because I don’t think it will have been ...
3.2. Ghosts In the Machine (The Man's World Mix)
I was going to add this to the previous entry, but it didn’t seem to fit with the whole theme… Or maybe it did fit and I was just too hellbent on making things seem a little sunnier than they usu...
3. Fable (The Man's World Mix)
This weekend ended up being a huge confluence of too many events, both past and future. If you are someone who is not familiar with that irritating bit in parentheses, you have not figured out th...
Picking And Choosing
Each time I think I’ve made up my mind on where I’m going between the two choices I’ve given myself, life throws me another curveball and tips the scale toward the other. It’s almost borderline p...
Bastion
I was at Starbucks before work getting coffee, it was pretty packed and while I was waiting, I noticed my friend Justin and his boyfriend AJ were in line. Justin is tall and leonine, while AJ is ...
Fallout
I’ve been behaving as should be expected. The disappointment of the whole situation in Paris was of course upsetting and I definitely found myself in some expected situations. I mean, of course I...
The Final Nail in the Coffin
Well, I got the official response from the French Government: they have withdrawn the offer of employment. So I am not going to Paris. Although I was prepared for this, I’m still extremely disapp...
Black & Blue... and Gold
I’m trying to write something less heavy so of course it’s a survey! Senior year in high school… What year did you graduate? 2002 Did you know your spouse? I don’t even know my spouse now! Did yo...
Two Lovers
Today is my first day off in 15 days. I got to relax and get a lot done… Until I found this Tumblr page that is just this person putting random people/bands/objects into an image made to look lik...
