Things have been pretty nice since coming to San Antonio. I'm much more comfortable here, and my mom's condo's right near Alamo Heights, so it almost feels like the whole city's one big house that I used to live in as a kid. I've been hanging out with Andrew a lot, and Robbie and Emma and Abuelita and Sarah are usually all there at Emma's house too ( Read more... )

My car's totally not starting at all anymore. It went through a new battery in a day. I'm gonna see if I can get some salvage yard to buy it off me for parts ( Read more... )

Watching The Squid and the Whale, and I like it, but I also think it's one of the most depressing/uncomfortable movies I've ever seen. It's like a Wes Anderson movie drained of all the irony and replaced with realistic consequences.
Also, I wouldn't have been surprised at a Velvet Underground song appearing in, it, but seriously, Street Hassle? AKA ( Read more... )

My iPod died so I compulsively bought a Dingoo A-320, which not only plays MP3's and movies, but works as a NES, SNES, GBA and GEN emulator. I'm hoping that the act of buying it will soothe emotional trauma ( Read more... )

So, for my cousin Alex's rosary/memorial service his brothers picked out two songs for him. The first is a country song about heaven and the second is The Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize?" I thought The Flaming Lips song was a strange and amusing choice. I wonder how everyone will react.

I'm also supposed to go up and read Psalm 100 which I don't ( Read more... )

Every time I doodle on something I know someone else is going to see, and the doodle is an actual representative drawing of something (say, Batman) I have to scratch over it completely when I'm done so no one can see it. I'm not this way about abstract doodles or shapes or whatever; just pictures. It most likely points to some sort of paranoid lack ( Read more... )

At this point in my life I really think that the essence of maturity, of growing up, of becoming a complete, or even an enlightened, person, can be generalized by the word "acceptance." If you've experienced something you know to be true, or if your rational mind or conscience is uncomfortable with what you're doing on an analytical or moral level ( Read more... )

Okay, so there was that big huge story last year about all the members of the Anglican Church in England converting to Catholicism because they were uncomfortable with homosexual priests. Have they come back now that the Vatican has proven itself basically a den of pedophiles who molest children literally BY THE HUNDREDS and pedophile protectors? I ( Read more... )

I wonder if the big question is really when I, or any of us, will finally be mature/wise enough to consciously choose happiness over stimulation. Maybe this is what Jesus and Buddha meant by the whole give away all your possessions and follow me thing. Sometimes, I wish I'd been born Amish.
