(Originally composed for an online 'zine submittal, but I missed my deadline while apartment hunting. Decided to finish it [albeit at about half its originally intended size] and journal it.)
It's a widely-upheld notion that porn drives the industry. In the war against VHS vs Betamax, where did the porn go? VHS as it was cheaper to produce on. Perhaps not-so-coincidentally Betamax, despite offering a...

It didn't work out in the end. I'd probably have to join a commune to fully embrace the luddite lifestyle. And I'm certain they'd frown at me for wanting to check my e-mail and play copious amounts of music. Also, I hate gardening.
So, I'm back. Of the communities I'm part of, this is one of the few I'm intimidated by--partially because of its size....

It's just not working for me, this internet thing. I'm ready to become a luddite technophobe and eschew all ties to electrons I can.
There was a part of me searching for community, but the more I think about it, the more I've decided that it's not lack of lines that foster community, it's more lines and reliance on people that comes from living in...

interesting theory...
It is official. I am moving in with the gal who has managed to keep me in a relationship for eight months. Okay, it's not a new record or anything, but I don't think I've actually spent this much time in eight months with any other person who wasn't family. So, in the interests of falling asleep together every night, waking up with each other...

Awww! Living with your lover is the bestest.
Congrats!

i've started another blog recently. i'd give the address, but the point of it is to be faceless, completely unknown. and i know some people have actually tracked me to this site. i'd never have thought it would happen, but then again, i suppose that's what comes of having the same nickname for 5 years. i feel like i've missed oportunities here, friends i could...

no, not dead. just busy.
...and, quite possibly, in love for real. 3 months and still with the same gal? might as well just move in.

We seem to keep circling like wolves, she and I, warily watching for the other to be the heartbreaker, to go for the kill. I have an extremely poor track record when it comes to long term relationships and she knows this and anticipates that this attachment will dwindle much like those in my past. I keep wondering exactly what I have to offer beyond...

WTF!!! I have so little of myself to give - what more can you give that your heart, trust and love??? What more can be expected??
Give yourself some credit, mate. You strike me as being a beautiful person - don't belittle what you are bringing to the table, as it were. If you can't appreciate what you have to offer - how can you expect someone else to appreciate it??
As to risking your heart - risking nothing gains nothing and while hearts may be broken - they do mend
Thus endeth my lesson haha

"U-hauling" I believe is the term. More and more of my stuff keeps ending up at her place. Her smaller, yet more blissfully urban apartment. Extra toothbrush and misc. toiletries, spare clothes and I find that I spend more time there than my own place. She has the better couch and bed, I have the better entertainment center and computer. That's okay. We spend more...

I love that part of relationships.

A month (an official month, none of this 4 weeks equals a month stuff) has passed since the first "date." That's not a lot of time if considered and yet there can be no doubt that I am in a monogamous relationship. Me, the commitment coward, the picky prick, the two date king. I have been dethroned and am reveling in my new, shared, fiefdom.

Well done dude - more power to you.
