There was a sharp CRACK and then silence. I knew the sound and it's origin well. I put down my bowl of Mango and walked calmly outside and to the edge of my second story deck to look down upon the still form of a lifeless Steller's Jay. I stared at it a moment to see if it would wake up. Sometimes, they do that. This one didn't move so I walked ( Read more... )

Upon returning from kayaking, I ate the last of my rice dinner, which was delicious, but lacking in proper fat and calories, and settled in to watch a movie before bed. The moment I sat down, I knew it couldn't last because I had a sudden urge to go buy a coconut. I grumbled for a minute or two, detailing, in my head, the distance from my chair ( Read more... )

In a years time, I plan to move to Anchorage and go back to school to take electronics. Two years after that and I'll be a wiser, better educated, and more capable young man than I am today which I hope is saying a lot, but one can never really know for sure when there is a sense that there is so much to learn. I look forward to the change of ( Read more... )

I feel like my honesty with my inner fucked-up-ness has scared all of my good people away...I miss them. :-(

Several horrifying nightmares, 6 major wind storms mixed with heavy rain, and one destroyed bed later, I'm sleeping on the floor in my living room on a wooden slab over the hole to my bilge and angling my little mat between the consistent water drops from the ceiling so that I stay dry. I sleep little, usually waking up anywhere between midnight ( Read more... )
