"When once the itch of literature befalls a man, nothing can alleviate it but the scratching of a pen." So, I tried to end my journal, but this story was TOO good not to tell ( Read more... )

Hey everybody. It's been wicked fun sharing my thoughts with you all, but I feel as if it's time to be moving on. Sometimes, a man's thoughts should remain his own.

And when that most improbable time occurs, when everything (or nothing, depending on your preference ( Read more... )

Is anyone else just really bothered by that commercial? I mean, I know that I feel personally victimized by it. So, I haven't written in a while... forgive me; I couldn't find my words. But, I found them this week. This whole week, I've been finding my words. Something awful happens when you take a leave of absence from sanity for an extended ( Read more... )
