Upon Returning to the Scene of the Crime
When Gwynne and I were together, we spent most of our time on the ends of the horizontal: she lived with her mom and worked on west end of the city (Pensacola), and we spent a fair bit of our recreational time out on that end as well - there was a Barnes and Noble out that way, for instance. Her sister, on the other hand, lived in 5 points, on the ( Read more... ) -
Yes, Viriginia, blogging has been light
It's not my fault, I swear.
For the 2 of you who read my blog with any regularity:
Tomorrow/Tuesday will be my first day off since last Friday, 10 days ago. I don't expect to see a week where I put in less than 50 hours of work in in the month of June, and more than likely will be working at least 6 days a week for the entire month.
I'm tired.
In all ( Read more... ) -
Loneliness-Blogging
I swear, I don't come to Big Spring Park for the wi-fi.
It's really one of the few places in Huntsville I know to go to when I have some free time; I can't help it that it has wi-fi ( Read more... ) -
There to live deliberately...
If there's anything to recommend having your entire life crash down around you (I'm not saying that there is, mind, just that if there were, this would be it; I wouldn't wish my last six months on my worst enemy) it's that it has reduced my existence to the barest of essentials. If you're a regular reader of my blogs (which, I'm not saying there ( Read more... ) -
A couple of things I learned today
I came across a fascinating book today on body language. At $23, it’s an absolute steal; of course I can’t afford that much right now. It’s on the short list.
I read - ok, devoured - the first couple of chapters while at BN. (Those of us with poorly developed social skill sets, who are actually trying to learn, tend to be voracious consumers of ( Read more... ) -
I do call myself a philosopher, after all
I pretty much wasted yesterday - got off work, went to Big Spring Park, there browsed online and enjoyed the (natural and human) scenery, went home, watched MythBusters, wasted my time in other more and less constructive ways. I thought I should write, but I didn't feel like writing, and I'm somewhat under injunction not to do shit I don't want to ( Read more... ) -

Cogito Ergo Sum
Really, sometimes, my too-subtle-to-notice sense of self-referential ironic humor probably says deep things about my brain that would send any reasonably competent mental-health professional 'round-the-bend.
I think there's a hyphen shortage somewhere in China right now.
That was another one, by the way.
I keep waking up and thinking "When is this ( Read more... ) -
It was bound to happen eventually
There’s a curious asymmetry to my personal attitudes towards my (admittedly mild) bipolar disorder.
I dislike the lethargy that accompanies depressive cycles, yet I embrace the debilitating melancholy that accompanies those cycles. There is something… noble… to chemically induced emotional suffering; or rather, there is a strong inclination to ( Read more... ) -
