Bad(?) Poetry
At least once a year I try to find the poem I wrote as a sort of reflection on the one thing I wrote in my 20s that I don't think was utter trash. I always have a hard time finding it, but just stumbled across it. Gonna post it here for posterity.
First poem, written sometime between 2007 and 2011. This is the only thing I've ever written that I ( Read more... ) -
Another check-in.
Things are better. Not perfect, not even great, but better. I'm not crying anymore. Haven't for months, except in my usual moments of being touched somehow by life. I'm still a year past my timeline, still not seeing anyone, and starting to hear a vague, echoing ticking. But I'm stable. Most days I'm happy, or at least content, and I don't ( Read more... ) -
Twenty nine.
Today's the day. The day that my unofficial timeline has expired. I'd always had a vague plan for how things should go, y'know? Married at 28, house at 30, kids at 32. That was the plan. Well, now I'm 29. With no wife. No romantic interest at all, actually. No job that has the pay and stability to afford a house, next year or ever. Nothing ( Read more... ) -
Everything is so fucked.
I mean really, really fucked. It's so fucked that I feel like laughing. At least, when I'm not crying. I've lost Amber, I've lost my home, I've lost my independence. Fuck, I even lost my cat. And of course, of course, it's 100% my fault ( Read more... ) -
Checking in.
I'm almost positive that I'm the only person I know who still uses LJ, even as sporadically as I do, but I can't seem to break the habit. It gives me an outlet, and a place to leave a long-form mental imprint for posterity. So, without further ado:
Life has been...turbulent lately. Amber and I are on the 9th week of a 6 week "pause" in which she ( Read more... ) -
I am a master at the fine art of self defeat.
And I am apparently not allowed to have a chance to talk about things. -
Because my options have dwindled.
Social Media. What a term, eh? I haven't posted here in ages. Why should I? I have a facebook. Well, I have to say that I find facebook just as mindless and degenerative as I ever have. What can you say on facebook? What fits into the facebook zeitgeist? Anything, so long as it's meant to amuse, entertain or denigrate. Sure, you can use it ( Read more... ) -
Too important not to post about!
Hello, all. This is your favorite neighborhood Raiki reporting live from the blogoblag.
This just in! There is a massive Boobquake scheduled for arrival 4/26/2010. That's right, listeners, you heard me correctly: A Boobquake. Follow this link: ( Read more... ) -
Away to Germany!!
On my way to Germany. May or may not have Internet. Most likely not. Anyway, I'll take lots of pictures and I'll make sure to post some of them (for real this time!) when I get back.
Anyway, peace love and cookies.
