So I had a really great dream the other night, and I have to say I hate really good dreams. I would much rather have a terrifying dream, because at least my life looks real nice in comparison. But I hate having that moment where you wake up and literally go “Dammit, it was a …
Smokin’
I’m trying to quit smoking right now, and those of you who have quit or at least quit something equal in habit level may relto my feelings. First of all, smoking is such a strange habit in the first place. You don’t really think about it, but the process involves lighting something on fire, inhaling …
Had to write something about Valentine’s Day
Well, happy Valentine’s Day everyone. Blogs around the globe are commenting on this holiday right now, no doubt. And I guess I will too. First off, can we at least agree it’s a fake holiday? I realize it’s based on several different historical things, but let’s just run through the story real quick. In 496, …

Llama Song
This has brought me endless amounts of joy in the last week. I won’t even bother explaining it, just enjoy it as it is: Llama Song
Elections = Freedom?
So elections happened in Iraq, which is a good thing in terms of the democratization of Iraq, and something I certainly support. However, I was listening to a radio show on the way to work today hosted by a fiery conservative who was saying in extremely similar words “Iraq is now free. President Bush should …
More Blog Complaints
So I’ve always made a point of telling people that I have a website, but not a blog, though I realize that my lack of putting things up other than random thoughts has really turned this into a blog site. I’m going to keep putting up plays, skits and essays, but I guess I’ve been …
Beautiful Dangerous Blue
Lyrics to a new song: Beautiful Dangerous Blue I was swept to sea while trying to be poetic It always takes a tragedy to put it in perspective I’ve been living through a drought that never leaves My inspiration’s gone as well as my beliefs And they say that David didn’t pen a psalm for …
