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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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...

---

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 ...

---

I still haven’t heard back from the French Consulate. They’re very slow at responding which is incredibly frustrating but very… French. I’ve been spending the whole time making back-up plans as a...

---

I’ve been trying to keep the peace, but it’s rather difficult when things are simmering beneath the surface. I’ve tried to avoid discussing the difficulties I’m coming upon with the job in France...

---

I know I’ve been writing more often during the last couple of weeks but that’s mainly due to the fact that these last several months of instrospection have finally led me somewhere. Plus, recent ...

---

Yesterday, I got a message from my friend David. I’m sure I went on and on about him while I lived in LA because I was completely in love with him. It was unbelievable. He told me that he found a...

---

I’ve been rather ill for the better part of four days. I can’t keep any food down, I try to sleep but just end up vomiting everywhere which means I’m incredibly tired. I believe I’ve lost weight....

---

I don’t know what to say. I’ve been agonizing about this for months and the wait is finally over. I’ve heard back regarding the job in France. I’ve been accepted. Not only that, but I’ve been pla...

---

I finally got a nice night’s sleep. I think I slept 12 hours, which generally is too much for me, but I’m beginning to think that I really do need more sleep than I used to. I’ve been going out f...

---

I still haven’t even prepared my remarks for the funeral on Saturday, but I know myself well enough as a public speaker to know that something will come to me the moment I begin the journey to th...

---

I’m sorry I haven’t written in quite a long time, but I went a little insane. My other grandfather died just a week and a half after the previous one. Unlike the first one, I was rather close to ...

---

There was some question regarding my statement in the last entry that I felt I couldn’t date someone outside of my race. I should have known better than to throw out that question so flippantly b...

---

I wrote recently on another blog about how I discovered I was part of this group of friends that I didn’t realize I had. Literally, the next day, I had a rude awakening regarding my friendship wi...

---

Someone recently asked me why I don’t get along with my mother. The answer is simple, but the reasons behind the answer are extremely complicated. The reason I know it’s both is because I was rec...

---

Today was the funeral. My mother sang, my stepfather gave the eulogy and my grandfather was the pastor of the ceremony. I think that might be why I have such a strange perspective on death. I’ve ...

---

Everything all around me is going pretty terribly right now… and I couldn’t feel better. I know that sounds really bad but I feel good to have a grip on everything right now. The death of my gran...

---

In the previous weeks, I’ve been put on a collision course with myself. Some of us will never see the light. We have our antlers locked in battle with something that forces our gaze anywhere but ...

---

I’ve been really mouthy lately. Mouthier than usual. Especially on the internet. I just can’t stand idiocy any longer. My friend posted an article about the LGBT high school in Atlanta which fea...

---

“Type entry here…“ Wow, thanks for giving me something to aspire to. What am I supposed to say? I’ll have no rest. I have just 48 hours to get my application to France finished and I can’t seem t...

---

1: What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? I graduated from university and found myself in the post-college wasteland. 2: Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you mak...

---

I kid you not, the 26th of December, my depression lifted, my illness left and I immediately turned into that meme of Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music spinning on the mountains. It was nice,...
