I have returned from the east.

I drove past a church yesterday. Their sign outside said "The Fear Of God Is The Beginning Of Wisdom."


I just love it when people try to put their own spin on 2000-year-old, bronze age, fairy tale bullshit.

I am going to Japan!

I leave on the 28th, and I'll be back home on 10/7/08. Seven nights in Tokyo, what to do, what to do...

OK, so, new Tempur-pedic mattress plus 1200 thread count sheets equals a slice of euphoric Elysium that I sleep on.

A brief part of my history...

When I was 18 I was homeless for a time. I lived in an industrial business park where my friend's father was renting a unit to run his sign-making enterprise. I worked for him while I was going to an alternative high-school/dropout prevention program that was 300 yards down the road. There was a millionaire couple who lived not...

It's the time when everyone keeps asking me if I want in on their fantasy football leagues. It's just not for me, I have plenty of things to keep me occupied, including football itself.

My Zune died today. My unprofessional attempts to repair it only worsened things.

That's ultimately not as bad as my car getting hit last week, while it was parked and I was away.
Fuck you, mysterious car-hitter, where ever and whoever you are. Fuck you very much.

In one week I will be in a Maiden Pit. Rawk!
