Where is Home?
This morning I realized that this month was my 4th (mistakenly thought as 5th) year in this condo. Even though I was over by year, it's still the longest I've lived in any place since I was 19 ( Read more... ) -
Hark When the Night is Falling
I should note: when I say "England," I'm most likely referring to the government and not necessarily the English as a wholeIn just a few hours, way across the Atlantic, polls will be opening in Scotland for a vote of Independence from the United Kingdom. The various opinion polls that have been done recently have it at about 48% yes and 52% no ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday to You (Beard)
I recently completed my "The Beard Project" on flickr. It was a weekly photo project documenting the growth of my beard as I reached "Yeard." The 52nd photo was taken last Sunday but it officially turned 1 on Tuesday. It's been an interesting year growing this beard (and other stuff too, but that's a different post...). When I decided to do ( Read more... ) -

Vacation Part 2
A note from the author: Ugh. I can't believe how long it took me to do this second part! I started it back in November of 2013... which at 3.5 months after my vacation was already quite late. I hope it's cohesive as I've just now finished it (how many months later?!?!? lol) but I don't feel like going back and proof-reading it. I just want it ( Read more... ) -
New Kitchen Skills
I've done my first delving into brining chicken and I must say I like it quite a bit. Early in the week I cut two chicken breasts up into 1in squares and put them in a bag to brine with garlic for a couple of hours. Cooked them in pan, made an alfredo sauce, and cooked some fettuccine. I let the chicken cook for quite a while even though I didn' ( Read more... ) -
It's been so long... Vacation! Part I
I can't believe summer is almost over without me having made a single post of substance. It's not that I haven't had anything to say; I've had a lot. I think many things I've forgotten about but the one I can't forget is my vacation and the fact that I've been seeing someone for almost 3 months now ( Read more... ) -

Fragile (fra-jee-lay ...... its French)
Quite a long time ago I made a post on on here that has never really sat right with me. I was angry and posted my feelings about a couple of folks and aired out some dirty laundry. The way I handled the situations was inexcusable. I'm redeeming them from the things they did to me. I am sorry for the way that I proceeded to deal with the ( Read more... ) -
Adventures Abound
The next couple of months are going to see 2 superhero movies plus Star Trek. I think it's going to be a pretty epic two months! I can't wait. I wasn't super-keen on Superman Returns but Man of Steel looks like it's going to be really good. Iron Man 3 is going to deliver the coolest never-have-in-my-lifetime technology I think, as well as ( Read more... )
