I feel ready to expir"?e
That's what my grandmother used to call going over, passing on, joining the choir invisible and/or kicking the bucket. I've been sick for the past few days--nothing spectacular but just aches and pains and a little shortness of breath--but this morning I can't talk at all (no, really, when I tried to call for help it came out at 'aaaughwa?

Headlocks in freestyle wrestling
Something which a lot of people may not know about me, a piece of trivia from my early life, is that I was a fairly decent folkstyle wrestler in high school. Similarly, I trained in Greco-Roman style grappling, which emphasizes body-locks and head and arm throws, in my senior year and, had I not been side-lined by an injured knee, might have gone ( Read more... ) -
"On this day, I can see clearly; everything has coem to light."
One of my favorite wrestlers, the Edge Adam Copeland, has been out of action since May 2009. A history of nagging injuries caught up to him and, in the form of a final, awful Achilles tendon tear, the Edge was thrust out of the limelight and into a hospital bed.

Armistice Day always feels so weird.
I can feel the ghosts of the twentieth century--and good God there are so many, literal armies, cities, nations of them--hovering in the air above and around us all. It's a shivery sensation. -
Like woman, I am mystery.
So the Great Relationship Experiment failed, and although I thought I had gotten out cleanly I did NOT, as evidenced by a minor fight with the recent-ex (lax...bahahaha I'm ten) in the middle of the night last night in which some issues I had been having with her, long term, finally came to a head and I snapped at her and told her to leave me the ( Read more... ) -
Ugh...
Okay, seriously, no more. My mouth tastes like strong, ground black pepper. Ugh. -
So, so happy today
I'm overjoyed today. BCM, the girl with whom I have gone out with exclusively for over a year--and with whom I've been sharing kisses and hugs for almost that long--is now, actually, officially my girlfriend. We changed our facebook relationship status and everything :) I know this isn't some 'huge' thing in the great scheme, maybe, but it's made ( Read more... ) -
Cambridge police are asking Professor Gates to apologize...
Huh. I mean, what's the appropriate apology for this situation? "I'm sorry that you performed and illegal search and seizure on me which resulted in an illegal arrest and fraudulent charges which were later dropped. Oh, yeah. I'm as sorry hell all that happened. You wouldn't BELIEVE how sorry I am."
But not as sorry as the whole bloody -
