In times like this I can't help but let my insecurities flood over myself and take over what it is I'm feeling. Every time it feels like the story is the same. I didn't move fast enough. I didn't let my guard down enough. I didn't put myself out there. This isn't a copy & paste of a previous journal entry. This is me failing to learn from my ( Read more... )

Gonna unload heavy on this tomorrow. I promise.

I live in Phoenix, AZ. Phoenix is in Maricopa County, home to America's Toughest Sheriff: Joe Arpaio. He's the man famous for his tent city, pink boxer shorts, bringing back the chain gangs, feeding his inmates green bologna, and is often labeled as an insufferable racist bastard.

So where do I begin? I think this started in the beginning parts of ( Read more... )

So where do I begin? I think this started in the beginning parts of February. I consider myself a comedy writer. As a comedy writer with a couple completed scripts under my belt I figure I should do my best to keep myself sharp. So I decided that parody/satire was the way to go. What better person than Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio? The ( Read more... )

So here it is. The final entry of the Chicago trip. It details the final full day in Chicago. In spite of it being a relatively simple day, it somehow managed to span 5 written pages in my little composition notebook. I also took to typing this on a regular keyboard because the laptop keyboard just might have murdered my Me-Time-Tools ( Read more... )

Chicago Update - 05/23/2009 to 05/24/2009Here's the next part from my written journal on my trip to Chicago. As the days wore on, things only got more interesting. The reason I chose the written journal is that the pacing of the pen is way different from the pacing of the keyboard, and that causes thoughts to flow differently than what they would ( Read more... )

Well, it's time to have a sharing/summary of my trip to Chicago. I came back to Phoenix slightly changed from what I was when I went there. What started as a simple escape turned into something a whole lot more powerful. Hopefully the tone, observations, and interpretations that come out of my journaling will convey that all. Without further ( Read more... )

I guess I have about a free half hour here. I'm waiting for Heroes to finish downloading and the Suns game has 5 minutes left in the 2nd Quarter. Not a whole lot of urgent things going on right now. Been home from work for about an hour and a half. I'm sitting in the recliner with a bowl of soup cooling next to me. I think I'm now as "unwound ( Read more... )

So I came across this article in the forums I read. I started into it wondering what kind of weird science babble it was going to try to fling at me. Only after a paragraph or two I find out that it's describing me in a nutshell. I'm having a hard time figuring out if this is me just enjoying being in my shell or if I'm being objective about ( Read more... )
