On my way to school this morning, I noticed a squirrel running across the street, barely missing a few cars. He made it to the sidewalk only ten feet or so in front of me. He stopped briefly, calculating his next move. For a split second, our eyes met and I knew that he wasn't safe yet. I remember thinking to him, 'It's ok here. The people on the ( Read more... )

Even at my distant shore, I feel the ripples from waves of rage, anger, sadness and hopelessness. I recognize these waves, both crashing and receding. Muffled screams of someone drowning in the distance and I sit at my tower, looking through my binoculars backwards. The distance tries excuse the pain of doing nothing.

Yes, it's been long. I know. I had to step away from the journal for awhile, even though the time that elapsed seemed to be full of noteworthy events, I could seem to put them down. For the most part, my thoughts spew through my mind faster than I can write down and once I've posted it in my mind, it seemed pointless and hollow to try to duplicate ( Read more... )

Was tired as fuck this morning but not broken as like many of previous thursdays after another smashing evening at the brickyard. One of our biggest turnouts. Enough to facilitate a pool tourny. Casper and Avi squeeked out the win. Had to let the newbies feel welcome. ;)
Glad peeps are becoming more regular as well as some new faces are dropping in ( Read more... )

It's almost beginning to feel like a new year. The cobwebs are clearing and the sky is a new shade of grey. Feels like an inventory check is coming on. I know I've been packing around shit I don't need anymore and I need to make room for the new stock. Gotsta get some new merch soon or the villagers are going to riot. At least I hope they will. I ( Read more... )

Ok, lazy? yes. procrastinator? sure. pathetically unmotivated? absolutely...... short attention span? purple. But yeah, I wasn't going to let a month pass without an update. I think I gotta lower my standards of what is post worthy. I tend not to do anything unless it is called for. Unfortunately I find few things called for so it kinda defeats the ( Read more... )

So I've realized I'm starting to get sick of defending myself to others. To friends I would on occasion 'clarify' as a courtesy, as I didn't want them to think harm was meant when it wasn't. If they didn't know, how could they truly appreciate it when I do unleash my gates of harm and let the streets fill with my wrath of well timed one-liners and ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I've updated. Seems like I'm always too busy or away lately. All that is left out since last I wrote has been told to pretty much everyone that would be reading this and as telling the tales have been played out, I'm just gonna live in the now. Much like where my last entry left off, last night was another evening of the ( Read more... )

Moments like those of last night are what keeps me getting up each morning. An interesting hand of players came out to the brickyard last night.

Fuck, see how I've been slacking? And my last entry was SUCH a cop-out. I called myself on that one. Just seems like I'm always doing something or with somebody or so damn tired/lazy in between that. Like now, but it's freakin cold in here and easier to keep focused. Had a decent weekend. Went out the 7 on friday with alicia. It was dead but fun ( Read more... )
