I believe I had a night terror, or sleep paralysis, or something in that range this morning. I've probably only had a handful in my entire life. Describing what I saw might not entirely transcribe how much it affected me, because it's mostly the raw volume of emotion that comes with it.

I'd been playing with the idea of joining Idol this season, especially once Jess decided to throw her hat in. Unfortunately, the immediate concerns, the brush in the foreground, is going to prevent that. This freakin' week, man, actually the past two.

No reason, just felt like writing. What follows is a conglomerate story, the day-to-day summer existence on the pool gang. Not a hero story, no marauding wild animals or drunken rampages or any of the usual things that comprise a good bar-counter tale; just the story of what we did to live back then. As the weather warms up, I was musing on how ( Read more... )

A lot has been happening, and with my terrible memory I should get it down for posterity. This is part one of my current events:
