Falling together in the cold grass holding hands.
On the hill side watching stars descend.
Forever seems like just an empty promise we spent so long ago.
But we were younger then.

Each sour word
Sounds so absurd
But lingers in the air.
While happiness
In an ashen dress
fades into the years.
Each lonely hour
My heart has slept
Has drifted back to me....

I wonder if it would be easier to just sever any ties I may still have with my old life. It seems I can't pursue any of them without invoking some melodramatic wrath.

When the fuck did all of my high school friends become such assholes?

In order to put in an offer, I need to be able to write a $500 check as a "good faith deposit."

Fuck.

And it's now been 5 months since Anabel and I had sex.

No fuck. >_<

Once. Just once. Just once I'd like someone attempt to win my presidential vote by presenting the laurels of their candidate. Don't present me with why I shouldn't vote for the other guy; tell me why I should vote for your guy. Pointing out faults in the opposition doesn't curry any favor with me; it only makes me think your guy doesn't have enough credibility...

First and foremost, my expos about the whole Tricare bullshit has been put off for too long, so here it goes. Back in June, I received something in the mail about having payments made from my Social Security payment to cover Medicare. Thinking this was duplicate coverage to my Tricare insurance, I called and had Medicare discontinued. The next month, I called Tricare's offices, thinking...

I can't seem to avoid images of people loathing their illness-stricken states. It's almost as if the entirety of what makes up the Media is following me, plotting new and exciting ways for me to feel like shit. Here I was, thinking I'd be safe in a wholesome samurai flick ("Love and Honor," from the same director of "The Twilight Samurai," Yoji Yamada). But no!...

A Spoonful of Memories
We walked through the twisted trees for days. At least, I think it's been days; this ersatz sun doesn't seem to follow a pattern, rising and setting randomly, in varying parts of the sky. Yet, despite this rather disorienting change, it didn't seem out of place. Much like the leaves hanging black on their branches, the erratic nature of the sun...

Is it sad that the first kiss Anabel and I shared was in a gaming store parking lot?

Perhaps there is a modicum of truth in the saying that Love will find you when you stop looking. As the deadline for classes drew near, all of my focus went to making sure that happened. That is when she started showing up to the meetups.

Now,...

I use the term, "news," loosely, as it tends to illicit a sort of professionalism. Something blogger Kevin McCullough lacks.

This yellow journalist seems to have taken cue from Jack Thompson, and decided the best way to slander candidates he dislikes is to make exaggerated claims against the video game industry. In his article (and subsequent rebuttal), he makes many references to the XBox...

People often call me lucky. Yes, there's the obvious things people see; "You're paid to be sick," "You don't have to work," "The government's paying for you to go back to school." But a lot of my friends (especially the ones in the military) say that I'm lucky because I didn't have to go overseas. Some even say it's more than fortune, considering that there...

Alright, so tonight was my game, along with the lovely lady. She dove right into the story, jumping headlong into the roleplaying, and did her best not to point out my less than ingenious video game references.

The game ends, and we're just sitting there, talking idle things. When finally, I get up the nerve to ask her for coffee. She smiled. And not just...
