Journaling
An old friend of mine who introduced me to journaling reminded me of the power of the act this morning. There's power in looking back on words you wrote almost 14 years ago and seeing an almost completely different you. It's like a portal to the past, a past obscured with the fog of fading memory, cut through with the knife of a few words ( Read more... ) -
'Low-lit Dinner'
Rosy smile
looking out
restaurant window.
She smiles too,
casual innuendo.
Oh, wait;
reflection off of glass?
With quick shift,
iced eyes
do a dance.
Romance?
Not a chance.

Summer in spring with bikes at a zoo with philosophy and phobias and then beer and random socialness
Yeah, I fit all that in today. I officially took the day off last week after hearing that it was going to warm up this week to unusual levels. I worked through the weekend to make up for it, and I'll definitely have to bust my ass the rest of the week to do some catch-up ( Read more... ) -

And now a word from our sponsor...
I come here not knowing what I'm going to say beforehand. Funny, I've had so much on my mind, but I feel so accustomed... so "safe" just keeping my thoughts to myself, partially for fear of sounding like a whiny bitch but mostly because I'm simply a mess ( Read more... ) -
Time to take it back underground, yo
I've about had my fill of Failbook. Although only a few of my friends are still here on LJ, I'm thinking about bringin' it back to the underground. Not that I'm overflowing with positivity, but I kinda' miss just pounding out words and not giving a shit if anyone reads them ( Read more... ) -
I have nothing to say.
But I'm saying that I've nothing to say because by saying something about my nothingness I'm defeating my nothingness with somethingness and therefore creating something to say. So what do you say? Do I keep saying that which I don't have to say in order to have something to say?

On drive and purpose...
Disparate events but similar topics... all spread out over several years. At the heart of them all is the notion of whether or not having strong drive or purpose is beneficial to the average human being ( Read more... ) -
I don't think there's any going back to Small-Town America.
A few days ago I popped on to OKCupid for my infrequent but normal two-minute browse. I haven't been too serious about dating anyone for several years now, so I severely neglect (and don't take too seriously) my OKCupid account. (There is one girl back in Spain that gives me butterflies in my stomach, but I'm not going to talk about that.) Sooooo ( Read more... ) -
Writing
So I just returned from having dinner with my friend vagroma (YAH!), and we ended the evening with her asking me if I was going to keep up with writing. She asked me about LJ, and I had to stop and think about it a bit. Why haven't I felt compelled to write so much here lately ( Read more... )
