I've been in Tuscaloosa for a while now, but I didn't have the money to get the cable turned on until now. I still don't actually, but I'll jump that hurdle when I get there ( Read more... )

There's an old poem by Scottish author Robert Burns. It's called To A Mouse. The part of this poem that everyone remembers is from the second-to-last stanza.

The week after I got fired from The Alexander City Outlook ( Read more... )

After an almost three year hiatus, I decided I'm going to start blogging again. Why? The other day I decided I needed to delete something from this blog. I logged in, found the post and prepared myself to delete it. In the end, I decided not to, because good or bad, it happened. That's the purpose of a journal.
