I've found the root of my love of climbing... for once, you take everything in your life into your own hands, and everytime I have to reach for that next ledge, when there's a split second when all paths lay open before you, I either achieve satisfaction or accept the consequences of my failure.

If I win the lotto, I will do this everyday, and...

Sitting here and listening to more of Mermaid Avenue, and just sadly wishing for someone to sit down over a cup of tea with and have a good chat about love, life, and the nature of the universe...

Another day, another walk through hell. When you've watched your whole life evaporate in an hour because the person you've committed 1/2 a decade of your life to decides all bets are off, and what she's been saying for that 1/2 decade didn't mean shit, everybody comes out of the woodwork with ways to cope.

Journal Entry #1:

Dear Diary...

I never thought it would happen to me but...

Anyway, starting this journal to meet some new people, both in Rochester, where I currently am, and in NYC, where I will be moving to this fall. The significant other just decided to vacate premises after five years, and I'm left wondering what the hell to do, especially since she was...

Yeah, a picture is coming soon... It's hard to take a self-portrait without looking like a douche.
