Against Me! was Burden's favorite band. I remember because he thought of various ways he could join me when I worked the SoCo festival they headlined in Atlanta. He couldn't make it, so I said I'd get something signed. A vinyl. They were impressed. I remember. Something about how old it was or only real fans had one. Fan boy shit. He's probably ( Read more... )

I was driving to trivia last night, at the turn onto Southside Ave from McDowell, someone was walking on the side of the street. It's dark, they're moving rather disjointed, my first thought was obviously that they're a zombie. Obviously. Second thought, what the hell would I do if they were a zombie? I'm in a car. Probably should run them over.

Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had? I'm too old - too old at any rate for what I see. What one loses one loses; make no mistake about that. Still, we have the illusion of freedom, therefore don't, like me today, be ( Read more... )

I've had too much coffee today and yesterday; trying to make up for the lack of caffeine on Monday, and my heart is zinging. It produces a feeling of mania that equates to conquering small countries, not so good with working spreadsheets. Plus, my mind is somewhere in May or June. I'm ready for short sleeves, short skirts, sandals, skin, lightened ( Read more... )

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it snows in winter in Asheville. Despite what everyone had told him (only once in a while, not very much like an inch, it's gone by noon) LIARS! They also said the same about Chicago. The first full winter I had, it snowed the most it had in 30 years. I thought, oh it's a fluke. Second year was more. I moved to ( Read more... )

Someone ordered a mimosa today, and I wanted one. I wanted Champagne. I wanted a fucking do-over on my goddamn new year's eve. It's fine. Some things just trigger a response. Not that I'd do anything different. I feel that I would have done everything the same; I would have done everything as badly, possibly worse. No one can accuse me of learning ( Read more... )

It's only been a week. It feels like longer. This new year is stuck on slow motion. I'm slowly cleaning my apartment. I did the dishes of things that have been sitting around my apartment for the past week. There's a huge mount of laundry that I keep ignoring. I will have to run it tonight. I'm out of Tupelo shirts after tonight's shift. I'm sure I ( Read more... )

my eyes are dry. my contacts feel like they're sucking all moisture from my eyes.it's b/c they're old. i've slept in them for months and tears dry them out more. it's been a day. panic. this. can't. be. all. there. is. signal a text around midnight, do you feel just as alone? where you roll over and the other side of the bed is cold. think. they're ( Read more... )

The worst thing about living alone is no one cares if you're home. I don't even have the cat to care whether or not I feed him. I just want some thing else breathing. I should get a plant. It can only die, not run away ( Read more... )

I bought a new computer. Nothing fancy, with just enough function that I can play around with the interweb, my music, my pictures, and maybe some video. I can put my iTunes  and Netflix on this which I couldn't do on my work one.

Essentially my resolutions are always the same: read more, write more, be better in a general sense. It usually goes to ( Read more... )
