It's been forever plus a few small eternities, I know. What can I say? I'm lazy. I did have an interesting day though. I started the new semester, the second of my graduate career. My classes look really interesting thusfar, and though the reading will be fairly intense, I think I'll get a lot out of this term ( Read more... )

Maybe if I write about this I can better deal with it. I was taking MARTA home tonight and a man started to heckle me at the terminal. He might've followed me from a bar, I'm not sure. I wasn't really paying him a lot of attention, but he started to become increasingly hostile in speech. Finally, the train came. He stepped in from of of me and ( Read more... )

Here's a quick one for my first entry in a few generations.

Conversation of the day:

Guy: Hey man, how old are you?
Me: I'm 25.
Guy: Man, you look like a model or something.
Me: Well, thanks.
Guy: Are you married?
Me: Um, no.
Guy: You can have sex, right?

Ever ridden a bunch of roller-coasters in a theme park? Your body maintains a sense of vertigo--of falling--well after you've fled from the land of poorly paid cartoon personalities. Yesterday was like that, sans the thrill ride. Maybe it was the last vestige of alcohol tracing its way through my veins, or maybe I've just be oscillating that ( Read more... )

I realize I often reserve this space for melodramatic, often negative entries. I don't do this because I'm particularly prone to either of those attributes, but because those moments are the ones that give me considerable pause for thought. Anyhow, consider this a break from that tradition ( Read more... )

Out with the bad. This one is tough, but I think it'll help me to work it all out in text. To avoid writing something that could unjustly injure, I'm going to be vague. If you need to know the details, you've already been told ( Read more... )

Well, Pride weekend has officially passed. It's time to look back and reflect. I can honestly say this this Pride was better than last year's Pride, but given that the latter consisted of: 1. Being very, very sick. 2. Getting dumped. 3. Being forced to move all of my possessions out of one apartment and into another (a task made considerably ( Read more... )

Today was uneventful, so I won't really talk about it. Yesterday was very eventful, however, and it sucked. It seems that I won a cruise to the Bahamas. In a psuedo-drunken haze I entered a Mellow Mushroom contest a while back, and I had totally forgotten about it. Well, lucky me, I got a callback. My victory was short lived as the whole affair ( Read more... )

While on my frenetic journey through Atlanta today, I passed a sticker the read "Punt Perdue". The hopeful among you may assume this was a liberal sign of protest against our ardently conservative governor, but this is unfortunately not the case. Positioned next to the text of the sticker was the image of Georgia's old state flag (you know, the ( Read more... )
