NYC was pretty sweet. I didn't do a lot of the traditional first-time-in-New-York stuff, but I did eat at a restaurant staffed by ninjas. It was expensive, and not very filling, and I went to a diner afterwards and got a burger. What can I say? I'm a simple creature with simples needs.

I also went to see "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the...

spladow:
i think i just realized that you don't live in L.A.

Anyways sounds like you spent your NYC trip much better than doing the classic touristy things. Glad you had a good trip.

Movies theaters are dangerous places i guess. My friends mom didn't get to finish LOTR cause someone got shot in the theater. Some gangsta nerds out there I guess.

Yeah, fatherhood is great. I hope you get to live it when you're ready.

All these fucking politics are wearing me out. Part of me just wants to shut everything off until November and just see what happens, but I'm addicted. On the one hand, I know more now than I ever have about the policies and stances of all the candidates involved, and on the other I get really worn out by trying to talk reasonably to people...

You're doing a great job and service on the Liberal Politics group. Don't be discouraged.
Where is Salisbury? My daughter and grandchildren live in Mooresville.

The last month or so has been a time of unprecedented awesomeness for me, as a new Golden Age has seem to have begun.

I've started seeing one of the greatest women I've ever known. She was a really good friend of mine a few years ago when we were in college together, and since she's coming to visit for a wedding we've been talking...

What is there to say really? I'm keeping everyone at arms length. I'm all out of effort for getting close to people, for trying to beat down their doors to get them to hang out or call. I'm all out of love and chivalry for people who never give anything back.

I've been thinking more and more about the idea of doing away with my entire personality, my entire history, my entire life as it has been so far, and just making up something new. Is it possible to throw your old life away and start a new one? Is it possible to rid yourself of the chains of the past, those chains that Jacob Marley...

I'm still here, every now and then. I'm not missing it much though. And it isn't that there is anything better in the real world, at least not yet. Everything just feels kind of like a zombie whirlwind. Very little makes sense. Very little seems real. I have a hard time finding any kind of direction, any kind of grounding. Life is starting to feel...

Yesterday I got into a strange, turbulent, and emotional kind of miniature maelstrom of the mind. Something triggered an episode of intense hurt inside of me, and I spent the better part of the afternoon grappling with it. I tried to move deeply into the feeling, to not try to cover it up or bury it. My head was hurting and my stomach was acting...

I finally got around to checking my grades from last semester, and after wondering whether or not I would be taking Anatomy and Physiology again, I was thrilled to see...(drum roll) D-MINUS!!

And so my science-with-a-lab requirement is now on the list of unpleasant things I will never have to do again. For yet another day, life keeps on rocking.

Again, I've spent a great portion of my night recapturing the awesomeness that was my childhood.

I've been watching Galaxy High on YouTube. This was one of the greatest fucking cartoons ever made. It blows my mind to think that there was once this magical era when kids ritualistically got up every Saturday morning and dashed to the TV to eat cereal and watch some...

Couldn't shake a strange, desperate feeling yesterday. It was my day off, so I cleaned house, and I soaked a lot of old miniatures in simple green, then scrubbed the paint off with a toothbrush.

My mom was around for part of the day, and we talked and realized we're both screwed up in pretty much the same ways. I've spent a lot of my...

wtf:
I understand. I'm still attempting to grow out of my savior mode. When I was young, I was afraid to run from the violence. I needed to know if she was killed or hurt. If I ran, I'd never know if it would be safe to come back if she didn't survive, he'd surely kill me too. So I endured the sounds and with my head covered the vibrations of their violence and destruction
. How anyone could choose to live like that is beyond me. I guess that's just it, you can't save someone, but you can show them that there is another choice. You certainly can't force them to live another way, the way you think they should. My mother is bordering poor and will be soon, yet she spends as though her last name is Trump. Growing up poor, I save everything when I can. Maybe it's my addiction, but if I carry teabags with me, gas stations will give me free hot water, If I pack my own P B & J, I can make it through school and work and still concentrate. I still feel guilty for not contributing to my 401K and my mom couldn't care less. As though she doesn't see the future burden on me to take care of her.

Then comes the isolation of having your own problems and no one to turn to for understanding. Trailblazing, even the word seems sharp, jagged and rough.

Whatever you do, don't feel guilty for living hte life you feel you should. It's your path.
