Right For Me
I know I haven’t been writing that often, but it’s honestly because I’m depressed and I hate depressed writing. There’s a defeatist bleakness that permeates any writing that I do and it isn’t wha...
What You Think Of Me
Do you ever just enter this phase where you think everything is just incredibly stupid? I’ve been told that I have a reputation for being elitist and snobby, which I don’t necessarily think is ac...
Echoes of My Father
So much has happened and I’ve wanted to write but my computer had to get shipped off to Texas for repairs. I’ve been sick, done scene work, been asked to audition for a Tennessee Williams product...
PS, I Love You
I don’t know what I’m writing about. I have been sick for days. I kept it together enough to work over the weekend, but I’ve totally collapsed when it was time to return to school. Whatever, my c...
Versions of Violence
Being friends with straight guys means that from time to time, things get uncomfortable. As with any friends you make, there are going to be times when they say something offensive and you have t...
Milanos Aren't Enough
I might type this really poorly because I’m typing it in my class, and I sit next to this hot Persian guy with a huge package in his bicycle shorts, and he constantly plays with it, so I’m always...
So this survey seemed fun, but every question was depressing
What part of pop culture do you wish would just go away? Well, “go away” is a bit strong, but I wish reality television were shelved as a concept for a little while. Back when it was first starti...
Legacy
I suppose I didn’t explain myself very well in my last entry. I was overcome by my rant on privacy that I never actually got to balance out exactly what I was trying to say had happened. But I ha...
Bitter On the Vine
I know it’s not really clear from how I write, usually I zoom in on a specific topic and mention only the specifics (or talk around the specifics), but I’ve made a lot of changes lately. However,...
the Super Moon
Things weren’t easy for a while. In fact, they were as hard as they’d ever been in my life. However, I’ve gotten through to the other side. I stuck with my job and have now landed a better one, t...
Get Stupid
This week I kind of went outside myself and tried to observe my daily life from another’s point-of-view, mainly because someone remarked at how busy I seem to be. I realized that that is true. Th...
American Baby
You know, I came back here for many reasons. One of them was because of my family, but the other was because of the friends that I had here. However, as I have learned again and again, those rela...
Mine
Since I started back to the school I last attended three years ago, I’ve seen quite a few professors I knew, and occasionally a few students. Well, really only one student. She went to Paris with...
Thwomp Trap
You know, I’m pretty patient. I give people a lot of latitude when it comes to situations, but if someone does something so ridiculous and egregious, I find it nearly impossible to forgive. Sunda...
She's Not Me
In order to understand this entry, it will be helpful if you have read Pictures for Lovers of only because I’m going to be referencing people and events that I mentioned in that entry. Furthermor...
Music For Lovers
Someone gave me a unique challenge, so I thought I’d do it. Let me explain the challenge and why I’m going to do it. Someone asked me if I would do an entry of all the songs that meant something ...
Lie To Me
The other night, I initially thought about how nothing ever changes, but then I realized that far too much has changed, and although the outlines of situations might be the same, the way I inhabi...
You Know My Name
Saturday was my cousins’ baby shower. I know what you’re thinking, babies and I do not mix well, but I trusted my cousins enough to know that they wouldn’t do anything crazy to make me uncomforta...
The Economics of Artistry
You know, this whole situation I’m in actually affects me very little except for one way.... financially. Now, I’ve never really discussed money or finances, mostly because I feel like they’re qu...
In The Desert
June, 2007 - Chicago, Illinois I’d finally gotten into a house. I’d been homeless since I arrived in the city in the beginning of May, moving on a whim from Los Angeles after a brief stopover in ...
Silicon Avatar
I know I’ve been missing quite a bit this summer, but the head makes me listless and I can’t ever get my head together to write something appropriate. But that’s not all. An awful situation aros...
The Bitch
This might be an unsettling entry for some people… mainly because I’m going to refer, tangentially, to the circumstances of my coming out which landed me in jail. Every time I drive with my mothe...
Carrousel
I’ve gone inward again, much like I did while I was in SoCal, but there’s a difference to it this time. It doesn’t feel like a withdrawal so much as a respite. Although I am falling into a strang...
Loose Ends
I know it’s been a while, but quite a lot has happened. Some good, some bad. The bad is mostly of a legal debacle in which I have found myself therefore I won’t comment on it. The good was that I...
Face Value
I had actually recorded a video blog to post, it took me eight tries and I even uploaded it to YouTube, but the events of the night rendered the entire video moot. I went out on Thursday as is my...
