The Odyssey Is Over
It's been almost two years since I started this blog. I'm no longer amazed at the symmetries of life. I started boyspacefriend after a funeral, and now I'm ending it after another funeral. The grief unleashed by the sight of pink and white balloons floating into the sky, the incredible bond between a group of lifetime friends, the tragedy of a ( Read more... ) -
Hello Quarterlife, Goodbye Crisis
One of my favorite expressions over the past couple of years was in search of sunrise - because it seems like I spent most of my twenties waiting for it. I've graduated, gone back to school, got a job, became a bum, fallen out of relationships, fallen into relationships, changed plans and switched priorities. Sometimes I think I've even ( Read more... ) -
The Joker and the Thief
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
Bob Dylan
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here ( Read more... ) -
Can't Stop The Signal
It would seem obvious that I haven't exactly been paying attention to LJ for awhile. Like similar Internet fads before it (think Friendster) I suppose the appeal of blogging wore off. Plus the fact I got bored with my layout and didn't have the means to change it, but that's another story.
Mostly I suppose it's thinking about what I want

Rollercoasters and Revelations
WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW
Athenaeum
I complain
When nothing's even wrong
And you're ashamed
Cause you're not quite that strong
That's when I said I'll need
More than you can offer me
I miss your face as you can tell
I hope my absence makes you well
Cause what I didn't know
Is I was killing you
I said a lot of things that I didn't mean to
But I am older now
And I am ( Read more... ) -
Just A Little
SAVE ROOM
John Legend
Say that you'll stay a little
Don't say bye bye tonight
Say you'll be mine
Just a little of bit of love
Is worth a moment of your time
Knocking on your door just a little
So cold outside tonight
Let’s get the fire burning
Oh, I know, I keep it burning right
If you stay, won't you stay stay
Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be ( Read more... ) -
Jagshemash! Dzherzhinku!
Caught Borat (and Happy Feet) today with blu_frenchfries at Eastwood. Suffice it to say that 95% of the audience for Borat were male, and 95% of the audience for Happy Feet was female.
Don't worry, there are no spoilers for Borat - because even if I told you what happens in the movie, there's no way it can possibly ruin the experience of WATCHING it. I'm amazed ( Read more... ) -
The Bulldog
"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm."
“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
"There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true."
Sir Winston Churchill
