I'm sitting here listening to an old Wallflowers tape I found under my bed this morning. I haven't listened to any of my old tape collection from High School in so long, that its almost like going into a time capsul; playing them again. A tiny window into what is was I was thinking, feeling and doing five or six years ago. In most cases...

Hey - it was great to meet you last night. I hope you found your way back to your new home. Good luck with the epic poem.
I suppose its about time that I once again update my journal. First of all I wanted to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday. It meant a lot to me.
Here's whats up: I currently have a room set aside for myself down on Jenifer street in Madison. I've done some investigatign and it looks like a great neighbor hood with good people....

Yes, its been a while since I last updated this and I apologize for that. I unfortunately fell into a rather miserable funk for several weeks and I rightly supposed that no one else on this site wanted to have to hear my whining; they most likely had their own problems after all. I'm not a fan of drama queens, so the least I can...

I think you'll like the Willy St. neighborhood, or the "near East side" as its sometimes known. It's one of the more "bohemian" neighborhoods around the Isthmus. Known for its hippies, hipsters, and LGBT community. And that's a good thing: I've watched the property values shoot to the roof since I moved to Madison in 1990.
Gotta get to know the bus routes to campus and where the good haunts are over there. Used to be that Jolly Bob's was great for drinks, but for good jerk pork and whatnot try one of the other Jamaican places along Willy. I forget which one I liked better. There's also this Lao-Thai place called Lao Laang Xiang that is out-fuckin'-standing. The curry squash is to die for. Plenty of bars. If you like the blues, the Crystal Corner would get some really good acts. I did most of my drinking at Mickey's which is on Willy and the river.

thanks again for puttin' me in the know about the Senator. i'm gonna see what i can get done down here...
I have come to a realization as of late. Politics, by their very nature, is a form of warfare. As such, I have begun to study "The Art of War" bu Sun Tzu and applying it to the current political state of the country. As such I think that I have gained some insight in how to effectivly stage a political campaign as well as...

Well, its been a while since I updated, so I thought I'd write a short journal here. Things have actually been alright around these parts; I've been enjoying work as much as I possibly can and I seem to be making some new friends in the area at least. Its nothing spectacular, but at least its all a step in the right direction.
I took...

I wanted to let you know I am headed to Ireland on March 3rd.
Its been almost a month since I last updated this journal, which must partially explain my complete lack of responses to my last post. It was an eventful month, however, and I found that I was so damn busy that I rarely had the effort to try and remember my own name.
So, whats new? Well I have officially ended student teaching and am now...

Dating still sucks...even though we are being positive!
southernbelle:
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I grew up in a really small town myself....didn't really do a whole lot of dating until I moved about 4 years ago....we all did the hang out in a group thing....
Well it seems that I have once again gone quiet some time without adding to my journal in here. Of course, no one responded to this one either; which makes me wonder if keeping these things fresh really matters all that much. Who's to say.
Anyway, things seem to be going generally alright here these days. I just got done working at Wal-Mart on Blitzday;...

I had the oddest dream the other night. I dreamt that I was walking through the very fancy Hotel. I had a cigar with me, and kept trying to smoke it, but I could not because of my surroundings. At one point in the dream, I climb up a set of strairs to see a ballroom packed full of people(who seem rich) who are dancing....

I am going to write something upon this page, knowing full well that it may make me appear to be as mad as the proverbal hatter. So be it; I'm used to it. Also, judging from the lack of responses I've been getting to my journal; I'm of the growing opinion that no one reads this anyway, and so I'm safe
I believe that I...
