~Octopussy~ ⋅ 40
Just an American living Bangkok and writing about all the inappropriate things that I somehow get roped into joining... I've been writing in blogs since 1999, so I'm fairly inconsistent. Sometimes I write a lot, sometimes I have nothing to say for months at a time, but I'm never gone, so just be patient and something new will come around.
The truth is of course is that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time

The Answers in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write

The Duo in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write

(I first started writing on Open Diary in 1999 and continued up until about a year ago. My OD was very serialized and typically I would provide links to past situations which I was discussing, an...
The Canyons in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
My emotions have been all over the place for the last month. I need to take this moment and acknowledge some truths, no matter how uncomfortable they make me feel. I hate my life right now for no...
Okay, let’s talk about drugs. I feel like I was the only one who paid attention to all those little lectures they gave us in school. I’m not going to lie and say I have never done any because I h...

I needed to laugh and this did it for me. This is really explicit but that’s the point… OMG…
Halloween/My birthday was nice. I spent it with Angie in the weird alternate universe that is Playa del Ray. Seriously, this is one of the strangest parts of Los Angeles I’ve ever been to simply ...
Stranger Ways by Anberlin in The Song Remembers When
Anberlin has been a favorite of mine for ten years. I remember the night I first saw them which was the night I met them. I was hanging out waiting for my friend Bobby. Bobby worked at one of tho...
I’m currentlly coming down from a panic attack. I’m having them a lot more grequently as of late, and that really isn’t so surprising considering the whole “dealing with death” issue that happene...
Well, someone died. This makes the fourth dead person to have been in my bed and then passed away. I don’t know the details. I don’t know that I need the details. I’ve been rather incoherent over...
I know it’s been a while. School started and brought a huge wave of issues and sort of swallowed me whole. Plus, I started tugging at some frayed strands in the tapestry and realized some pretty ...
Times Like These by Foo Fighters in The Song Remembers When
I may listen to all kinds of music, but my soul always belongs to rock & roll. When they were good, they were really good.
Back to Fifteen in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
Okay, so let’s backtrack a little bit and explain that (I believe one noter called it “cringe-worthy”) opening line from my last entry. I had just returned home from Palm Springs and was feeling ...
YoungLife in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write
I fisted a lesbian (stop freaking out, it’s not like I have Popeye arms) and got my dream guy’s number (named Edgar no less, WTF is up with me and that name?!) but that’s not really worth talking...
Target Practice in The Stuff That's Not Interesting But Is The Most Interesting Stuff I'll Write

A few weeks ago, Cesar was supposed to hang out with me. He didn’t. I really struggled for a long time with my upset feelings about the situation. It doesn’t help that I still sometimes feel guil...
I Get Lonely by Janet in The Song Remembers When
Really, any of the songs from The Velvet Rope are among my favorite songs. I remember seeing that album cover in advertisements in the mall and not being able to figure out who it was. I suppose...
I know the death of Robin Williams has been written about too much but it's made me reflect on something very important. One of the main reasons I quit stand-up comedy was because of how depressi...
I recently found out some upsetting information about my scholastic career that had me, quite literally, quaking with anger. The American University system is an absolute trap. I don't know if an...

My other roommate got me really upset yesterday. I know, after that big spiel in the previous entry about how I don't really have any drama, but this is something a little more serious and upsett...
I've attempted to write a couple of times but the truth is I can't bring myself to write when I'm upset and turning this place into a gossip column. That's not the reason I write, but at the same...
Receive by Alanis Morissette in The Song Remembers When
A lot of people consider Alanis Morissette to be a relic of the 90s, but I discovered this song, off her latest album, and I really connected with the spirit of the song. It’s quite intense when...
So I went and saw Lady Gaga on Monday evening. I never really have considered myself a huge fan of hers, I mean, I've always enjoyed her music, but her image and appearances always detested me a ...
Well, my sex drought is over. But it was not the kind of situation I would've preferred. It was, once again, with a straight guy. Who is 19. And Latino. So I guess not much progress has been mad...
