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...


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...


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 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 ...


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...


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...

A Private Little War

Last night something very scary happened to me. I decided to go out, I hadn’t been out since my whole schedule turned upside down (see the last entry), but when I went to my usual Wednesday night...

Night Work

For the last four days/nights, I’ve been working over night at one job and morning at the other job… which means that I basically inverted my sleeping pattern. It was quite an awful few days. I m...

Penumbra

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time with my co-worker, Lio. After work we’ve been grabbing food, sitting on my front porch, being silly and just laughing. The other night was another co-worker...


I just got back from a mini vacation to the Bay Area. A couple of things happened that were… not seismic so much as helpful in breaking me out of my funk. I went with some friends of mine for a s...

Merciful

The last few weeks have been incredibly difficult as I try to process and put into context all the events that have happened. Nearly all of them are related to the incident in Orlando. The reacti...

New Moon

There’s a very simple reason why I was so active last week, and to explain it makes it seem obvious. I rather like to believe that I’m more complicated and mysterious, but in the end I’m just as ...
