It's still too bad Dennis Kucinich is out of the presidential race: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_8067534?source=rss&nclick_check=1.

But this article made my morning: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/bill_clinton_screw_it_im_running.  It made me think ( Read more... )

I'd invited Little Bird (going back to using code names for people) over for dinner but before I left work I started feeling rottin'.  Like my insides were all in tumult.  She called me to say she was at my front door and I'd lost track of time, being stuck late at work and then going grocery shopping.  By the time I got to my apartment I felt ( Read more... )

One of my favourite Local Talents is here today in the theatre, with one of my favourite local theatre groups, FoolsFURY.  I don't know where I'd be without these people in my life.  I know I've written about this so many times but I am still staggered.  Most anyone who happens to read this won't know what I was like when I was younger and couldn't ( Read more... )

It's a fact: The deeper astronomers gaze into the cosmos, the more they find it's a bizarre and violent universe.  I think we can all agree on that.  But why are we struck by the strangeness of things when it's all we know?  What do we keep comparing our experience to?  Is it that life is both chaotic and rational and doesn't fit nicely into any of ( Read more... )

this week has a few entries which really appeal to me.  Next week will be the last posting of 2007. 

Every year I'm invited to get up before the crack of dawn to hike up a mountain and celebrate the winter solstice by watching the sunrise by a good friend and his family and every year something's come up to keep me from going.  Well, this year my efforts were rewarded by perfect weather and cheery company.  My friend's been doing this for thirty ( Read more... )

I may have to stop writing about my person life in here for a while.  I wonder what else could take over.  Go back to re-posting news stories?  I haven't really been keeping up with the times.  No, instead I think I'll ponder my own laziness.  While I didn't get anything out of the movie The Tao of Steve, it does come to mind while trying to figure ( Read more... )

 It's funny how things change.  I'm glad that I saved them for as long as I did and I'm glad I'm able to let them go.  It wasn't easy but it wasn't painful in the way it would've been months ago.  My memory is usually really faulty but in this case I'm not surprised by a thing.  As a matter of fact, with this kind of distance I'm able to gain a ( Read more... )

Last night was a blast!  I haven't the time to write about it now (I'm still recovering, too) but wanted to just get it all out once again.  Man.  I have the best friends, like, ever.  My people are the best people.  Even those who couldn't be there.  It happens.  That's understandable.  So my plan is to celebrate my birthday year 'round.  Like ( Read more... )

You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older, and now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older, and now you're even older
and now you're older still.

I got out of work at ten-fifteen on a Saturday night and got all inspired to have me a drink of whisky.  A. and Natalie met up with me and we got ( Read more... )
