I don’t know what the hell I was thinking at the time I signed up…but yeah, I’m going to try it. 30 days 50,000 words Wish me luck! *gulp* (If you don’t know what NaNoWriMo is, check it out. And then sit back and wonder at my complete lunacy.) Also, check back throughout Nov to [...]
As promised in yesterdays post, I’m going to write about sending yourself emails, so that you don’t forget important information. When I’m on the go and think of something, it’s easy to use my iPhone to send myself notes by email. Sometimes, when I am surfing the webernetz I come across something that I want [...]
Yesterday morning I woke up from a dream at 5:30a.m. For me this is unusual. First, I rarely dream, or at least rarely remember my dreams, so the chance of being woken up by one is exceedingly rare. Second, if I do remember having a dream, it usually sticks in my mind for all of [...]
It has been exactly 13 months, as of today, that I have been separated from my ex. Probably the best 13 months I have had in the last two decades. The decision to get divorced took years to make. Too many years. First, I felt obligated to adhere to my vows of sticking it out [...]
So, over the weekend I stayed at a hotel. The person I was in the room with left before I did and checked us out of the room. I was still in the room and had just gotten out of the shower and was leisurely getting dressed. Pants were on, but no top yet when [...]

Every once in a while we will be out and about doing stuff and my kid decides it is “Random People Picture Day”. The name of the game is to get her picture taken with as many random people as possible. The Oktoberfest this year was the perfect venue for her shenanigans, with the assistance [...]
I would wait. I would run. I would stop. I would go; fast, slow, backwards, forwards. I would fall so fast; I fell so fast, so hard that each second in each minute became something epic, tangible, and vastly significant. Those seconds were smooth and soothing as they ran through my fingers. They made my [...]
Here… Or here… Or here… Or here…
One of my friends (@KrissyPaul) on Twitter posted this link the other day. Kubideh Kitchen, a take-out restaurant that only serves cuisine from countries that the United States is in conflict with. How cool is this idea? First of all…yum! Secondly, some sociologists have noted, food is probably one of the easiest ways for cultures [...]
So, I think I have figured it out. June has it out for me. I’m not sure what I did to June to piss it off, but as far as I can tell it started last year. During the last week of May this year, I was recalling how absolutely craptastic June was last year. [...]
According to item #3 on my Fuckit List, I want to visit all fifty states someday. So far, I’ve been to 34 and by early next month, I will have bumped it up to 35 by driving to Seattle, which FINALLY gets me Oregon. I recently came across a blog, 48 States, 50 Days. Greg [...]
I forgot I had a blog! Nah, really, haven’t had anything to say or at least the desire to write it down or the time to not do it. I should maybe write something soon. Update: had to correct a spelling error. Can’t type for shit lately. Also, a good reason for my absence.
Nineteen years ago today, I stood in a small Justice of the Peace office in Slidell, La, just outside of New Orleans. Earlier that day, I had graduated from my Air Force tech school at Keesler Air Force Base, Biloxi, MS. We had gotten engaged over the phone a few weeks before, while I was [...]
I’m coming to the end of the spring semester. I’ve learned two very important things. I totally suck at math, but I totally kick ass at English! I failed algebra and will have to take it again. Boo! I got an A in English. My last assignment was a Research Paper. This is the feedback [...]
