it recently occurred to me that despite the fact that I have been doing quite a bit better over the course of the last two years, that the only way to know whether my anti-depressants were contributing to this success was to discontinue them. significant in this decision, of course, was also my lack of easy availability to the products, given the ( Read more... )

Standing at the edge of belief. The sea crawling out of my toe nails, black tendrils of moisture licking at the profane vulva of antiquity. Before settling for the utter sedition of broken surfaces, her eyes alighting on my gentle visage. And I told you, I would give love for a hundred miles if only the skies would usher over of my stairwell. ( Read more... )

from every now and then I write reviews on amazon.com, usually when I have something I wish I could say to the author. a lot of time the reviews are pretty poorly written, and frequently they are longer than they should be, but I generally get positive comments on them.

some things subsist on nothing but air and light. they do not shift into darker forms when they vanish from the public eye, but go on singing merrily in ways that seem affected coming from you or I. in the evening they rest by composing poems in the starlight, not by gorging on Haagen-Das and dirty movies. while they bring forth and so see only ( Read more... )

I wasn't very impressed with Obama during the democratic primary, but my respect for him has grown as this campaign has unraveled. in the past, I would have voted for him just to vote against McCain, but now I feel like he is someone I actually feel like getting behind ( Read more... )

since my girlfriend has been getting annoyed with my constant ramblings about weightlifting and fitness gurus, as an exercise to work on elaborating my theories, and in an effort to cultivate a more "serious" image, I have created a new blog in which I will be posting lengthy ramblings about strength and flexibility training, energetic and holistic ( Read more... )

since evidently there are already two "spires" out there, I decided to change the name of my "band" to epsilon spire.
