Hmm.... it has been a long time since I’ve posted in here. Mostly I haven’t felt the need because things have been good and I’ve been blogging about my motorcycle-related stuff over at my motorcycle blog, and that’s been consuming pretty much all of my attention ( Read more... )

No, this isn’t another mushy post about my girlfriend (although, yes, I am full of love for her, too) but I was thinking today of how blessed I’ve been to have some wonderful people in my life. I’ve had some bad relationships, but for the most part, the people in my life have been good, kind, generous, entertaining, wonderful people. I haven’t ( Read more... )

Am vaguely annoyed. The most recent ex - the one who likes to text or email me every month or so being all wishy-washy - decided to try to get in touch with me again today. It started with an email early this morning, which I saw while I was waiting in line for the iPhone 4. (Yes, I waited in a 3-hour line even though I had pre-ordered it, and yes ( Read more... )

I need to vent and there’s no place else that’s safe to do this. It’s both writing-related and motorcycle-related, and I have blogs for both, but the object of my venting knows about both of them, so I’ve gotta do it here ( Read more... )

Pre-emptive warning: I may be compelled to say sweet/mushy things in this post. If this is bothersome, you may want to skip it and wait for some more innocuous post. Fair warning for those folks who don’t feel like hearing gushing ( Read more... )

Ooo, the Mac is awesome. How awesome is it? Pretty damn awesome. I've done at least some work on it every day for the past 5 days, and I spent over 10 hours working on it yesterday (I was running behind due to getting a late start last week). If you're curious about the things I love about the new Mac - the software-based things, anyway, that I'm ( Read more... )

Inconveniently, my laptop died yesterday. (Although it was actually working again by the end of the day... no idea what happened, but it was enough of a wake-up call because the thing has been gradually dying for the past 10 months that I decided it was time for a new laptop.) So I looked in my bank account and checked out my credit cards, and ( Read more... )

Something sorta unplanned and unexpected happened yesterday: I came out to my family. My grandpa called, completely out of the blue - he never calls - and we chatted for a bit. And he told me that he wanted my email address, so his girlfriend could email me and stay in touch (because he doesn't have a computer). And then he asked if I was on ( Read more... )

I know not all of you who follow me here follow my motorcycle blog, but this one kinda affects both: I registered and insured the bike on Thursday, and I managed to crash the bike. I low-sided going through a corner too fast when I tried to brake, stupidly. My left knee is sore and hurty right now since I got a little patch of road rash, and jeans ( Read more... )

...and she rocks. In fact, I adore her.

Just wanted to point that out.

Life is good, and there is much happiness and giddiness and feeling like a teenager. Is wonderful. Yay life, and yay Kate.
