I understand that we are different, and that our paths may have lead us to believe certain things that others might find incorrect or downright ludicrous, but it hurts me to see discourse dissolve into petty bickering, backstabbing and infighting. To see someone else's heartfelt thoughts and ideas mocked and dismissed like what they hold dear is ( Read more... )

Just watched the first episode of Touch with Julie. Not bad, but I'm worried that the premise won't hold an audience. Also, what's with airing the pilot in January and then making us wait until the middle of March to see the rest of the series? Seems like a silly gimmick to me, but then that's the M.O. for most of the networks these days. Hopefully ( Read more... )

For more than a decade's worth of long, dusty years there's been a box in the upstairs closet of the Cabin. For all I know it could have been sitting up there since the day we moved into the place. It's a box filled with memories in the form of pictures. For me, they represent the first half of my life; the first phase if you will. They go from ( Read more... )

Hi kids! Sorry for the general lack of writing as of late. Life's been crazy funky fun and I haven't had a whole lot of time to sit down and peck away at the keyboard, but I've had this one rolling around in my noggin for a while now. A few weeks back I was listening to Pandora, which just happens to be the most amazing website that's ever existed ( Read more... )

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you woke up one morning to find that, through some form of mental illness or just the general realization of your pure awesomeness, the peoples of the world had chosen you to be their new ruler? Now what you say is law, what you wish for is made real. Would you rule with compassion, or would you ( Read more... )

In a couple short months it will be a year since my ill-fated marriage came to its will-publicized conclusion. During the intervening months I've tried to stay away from the topic despite its almost constant front row seat in my brain, but I've had some thoughts that I wanted to get down on paper, as it were, and out of my addled mind ( Read more... )

I should just start randomly spewing lines from songs like this was 1998... or the first couple years of my blog. That was dumb. Now I can't tell what any of that stuff was about from the titles alone. I can usually tell you what song the line is from though... and that brings a memory... and the memory is a story ( Read more... )

Last week I got to know a new friend quite well. Her name is Tiffany, and although we've never met; we've never actually even heard each others voices, I feel like I've known her for much longer than the two weeks it's only been. In that time we've used all sorts of mediums of communication, and I've noticed that there are a lot of subtle ( Read more... )

Unless you've been under the curse of a sorcerer for the past three centuries, you know that tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. I usually love the Super Bowl! It's a fun game, and it's an excuse to get my friends over for a big party. This year will be no different in that regard. I'm expecting a full house, and we're having tacos. Is there anything ( Read more... )
