Goblinboots is dead.......

OK...I'm tired of re-hashing my past life. Maybe I'll get back to it at a later date. For now, I have to deal with the reality that I'm dead ass broke, more than a month behind on rent and my workstudy grant is running out. I'm trying to find another job ASAP but I think everyone else is in the same boat. It's crazy expensive...

The Rise and Fall of a Coffeehouse Rock Star God

Stalked by an Owl

An entry in Elfboy's journal made me think of this. So without further ado....

The Beginning, Part II

The Beginning

Spring 1993. I was 19. I had been injured on the job, working as a night stocker at Tidyman's grocery store. I left that job on doctor's orders and was on un-employment. I'd been given Hydrocodone for pain. I was bored. I kept pretty strange hours- usually sleeping from 10am 'till about 6...

For the last two years I've tried very hard to make something of myself. At some point, I got this bug up my ass to be successful....to be the "good son".
