Oh  lord. I'm totally smitten for this girl. Which is madness. And can only end tragically.

I've been thinking about the end of relationships and such. Why should it be that there is always a victim. Isn't it just that sometime two people aren't right for each other? Maybe they came to that point unexpectedly, and it wasn't always true. I dunno. ( Read more... )

Since I was about 7, there was a song I've listened to. I dug it out of my father's record collection. All this time it has had great meaning for me. Usually I deride nationalism, but ultimately I am very nationalistic whether people realize it or not. This freedom rock anthem moves me . Off of Steppenwolf's live album (of which, I'm rather partial ( Read more... )

OK, so I was wrong. I overreacted in exactly the same sort of way someone who was immature would. Bah. I don't care. I'll certainly have other opportunities to do battle with my demons again and next time, maybe I'll show them up ( Read more... )

OK, so that lasted all of a week or something. I suppose I should've known better.  It's just...I don't know. Keeping it vague here, the difference between winning and losing in life is so very, very slight. I mean I've been successful in every way conceivable before, and it felt like I hadn't done anything special. I had just been myself and ( Read more... )

I suppose part of the problem is, I'm still not sure if I want to make this an actual journal and private it up a bunch, or if I want to make it a piece of social writing. Like I do in so many other aspects of my life, I'll see if I can keep it persisting in both worlds for a bit longer ( Read more... )

So I have returned from Youma. Generally an uplifting experience...makes me feel like conning again. From the vast numbers of people offering free hugs, to the girl who randomly asked me to dance in the middle of a circle of a bunch of ravers at the dance, it was a good time.

Talking with Roman on the trip back, he made the very good point that now ( Read more... )

Today is a beautiful day in Columbus Ohio. I recently purchased a pretty decent bike at a garage sale for $25 but then proceeded to stow it away in my basement on the theory that it wouldn't be this nice again. So I settled for going to the gym, which, despite being annoyingly overcrowded, is always a good experience. OSU's RPAC (Recreational ( Read more... )

Other admissions of questionable musical taste...I like the song Chitlins, Whiskey and Skirt off the Full Throttle soundtrack. I'm not sure if you would call it country, but there is yodeling in the song, so that probably means something. It probably qualifies as its own genre, post apocalyptic elvis radiostatic. Speaking of that ancient game, Tim ( Read more... )

 I enjoy listening to Echoes with John Dileberto on the local public radio station. I think I always have. Since high school...since before. I'm not a flighty person, nor am I absent of good taste. I just enjoy it ( Read more... )

I've sort of had trouble deciding whether I should leave these open for the general public to read, but for now, I'll just leave it unlocked.

Uh, lessee. I watched the solidly mediocre 'Wraiths of Roanoke' last night on Sci-Fi. Rafael (the writer/producer) had asked for constructive criticism so here's what I sent him:

No obvious holes or major ( Read more... )
