One would thing that a post-graduate move to sunny San Diego would do wonders for the soul. Yet, I'm feeling restless and indecisive (quite a bad combination). It's really a combination of factors: a new environment, lack of personal relationships, and (ironically) a lot of free time. I need to find a hobby. My tendency to isolate myself behind ( Read more... )

I was rather amused by an argument I overheard last year between an atheist and an agnostic - both screaming at one another about the non-existence of god. It rings true because it was a disagreement in belief systems. In the agnostic's defense, however, I would say that to disbelieve in p is to believe in not-p. And though I admire Dawkin, ( Read more... )

I'm thinking of a two part book. In the first part I would have a collection of "fragments", a sentence from a larger work taken out of context. In the second part I would have an a straight-talk, dumbed-down version of what I meant in the fragments.

At 2:15, however, she called back in excruciating pain - I dropped what I was doing at work, picked her up, and we were off to the ER again - the 4th time this week, ( Read more... )

I broke away from the Family Guy and Futuramma and put in American History X, one of those movies that I had been wanting to watch for a number of years but never seemed to have the time. It's a nice change to see such an intense movie, one that keeps you thinking after the credits roll. And what exactly came to mind? How rage takes so many ( Read more... )

you know that old addage 'nothing changes on new years day'? (or was that just a song...), anyway, something has changed within me, my out look perhaps. i've been giddy these last few days. i've been staying home and cuddling with a friend, sleeping, showering, etc. the smile on her face revives me. it makes me realize that i can make somebody ( Read more... )
