So here we are. One week out into the wilderness. “over the bridge and into the woods, where did I go?” as My Morning Jacket would say. Or more precisely “I’m not here, this isn’t happening” as Michael Stipe advised Thom York to tell himself when he was going through similar experiences. I’ve talked to […]
fall out
I’ve now had a few days to reflect on the events of Ash Wednesday. Apparently for lent I’ll be giving up Amy. Wednesday night we had two short conversations (she was calling from work). She has been grappling with feelings that she isn’t in love with me for a month or two. Obviously I’m not […]
broken up
Amy called me tonight and said she just wants to be friends. She said she has felt this way since around December. She said she needs to concentrate on her career right now, and I wasn’t enough of a “gentleman” in our time together. She said we should take a month’s “break” and see what […]
busy bee
Last week I came down with something. While it appears to be slowly leaving now, and never got as bad as the horror I had to deal with around Christmas, it has made me think. Why am I getting sick once every two months now? What am I doing wrong? Is it the regular exercise? […]
Matisyahu and the Look at Me pandemic
For a few months I’ve been hearing this song King Without a Crown on the radio. I listened to it all the way through the first time I came across it. KROQ doesn’t play much music that sounds like that so I was surprised and curious. After listening to it though I decided it was […]
evil music
So I usually listen to mp3s all day at work with my little (actualy BIG) headphones on. Today I made a playlist consisting of Fly Pan Am, Radiohead, Of Montreal, Sigur Ros, My Morning Jacket, Godspeed You! Black Emporer, and so on. I put the shuffle on. I made sure the settings in preferences were […]
Anti – Dentite
As many of you know I hate my diastema. I’ve put “get braces” on my to-do list since I was old enough to feel nervous when I didn’t want to smile in my school picture. Since then I’ve also been dealing with the hassles of having crossbite and occlusal issues. I’m constantly biting my lips […]
viewpoints
then you’ve got people like this going the other way. These people assert that Peak Oil is a scam… A scam perpetrated by our government to control the world population in order to dominate it… Too often Peak Oil “fansites” are linked to scientific articles while these “Peak Oil is a scam” sites are linked […]
strange things connect
Even though I keep myself very aware of big-oil and it’s ramifications on the world (I’m probably the only person in my family who watched Farenheit 9/11 or Syriana in the theater (or at all) let alone both of them), I have found something even more deeply disturbing today. Note: No, watching the aforementioned films […]
mark mgrath…strikes back?
So we all know what a flaming wuss Mark Mgrath turned into when he started “hosting” Entertainment Tonight. I don’t have cable, so sometimes the show comes on while I’m doing something else and I don’t notice. Anyway, that situation happened just now and the show was ending. His Mary Hart impersonator co-host said “and […]
