At Least They're Committed

  • Saturday

    Wow. I feel so much better today. Think I’ll leave that one up there, though. It’s not like anyone is actually reading any of this so it won’t hurt anything. I had an excellent time last night. It’ll make a good fleeting flashback. heh. I do so love my friends! 

  • Can’t help but wonder

    Of course people look to a better world beyond this one. Happiness is fleeting and minute. Humans try vainly to etch the slightest incidents of joy into our brains so we can regurgitate them like an LSD flashback. The rest of those hundreds of thousands of moments are spent killing time and slowly killing ourselves. Bah.…

  • Basketball

    I’d only walked an eighth of a mile on the treadmill at the Paul Derda Recreation Center when I was overcome by an epiphany: I really like guys. The treadmill faces the window to the basketball courts where there are always various and sundry sweaty bodies bopping back and forth across the…

  • Friday before ‘Early Christmas’

    Despite not having my beautiful new hardwood floors installed on time, I’m finding myself excited about hosting my extended family’s Early Christmas. Maybe that’s because since it’s at our house we can have booze. Plus, the gift Darian got my mom (his grandma) totally rocks! It’s hilarious! And it’s personalized. But…

  • Ghosts

    Am I blogging yet? Wow! We have so entered an age of self-centeredness! I love it. I’m not sure why I need a blog; I guess just to in some way affirm that I’m alive and not some rotting corpse reliving or creating some sort of life in the far…
