I haven't been very social on this site, so odds are good that no one will notice, but I will be leaving soon. I lost my job on Friday, so unnecessary spending has to go, and this site is part of that. It's been interesting I suppose.

I've been generally dissatisfied with life recently. I've been wanting (and perhaps needing) some positive changes. That, of course, is a problem.

I guess my biggest problem could be summed up like this: All of the people I'm truly close to are around here. But absolutely nothing else is.

That's not to say I don't have friends and acquaintances scattered about. But my family and...

"There's something about intimidation because you see, that's the way I've always ran my life, by intimidating people. Because if you can make people fear you, you've got them one step closer to where you want them"

Well, for years, where I wanted them was away from me. And make no mistake: there are still plenty of people I want nothing to do with. But...

First, the negative: I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick, which is never fun.

On to the good: I talked to a good friend of mine who is currently in Afghanistan for the first time in a few weeks. Honestly, I was getting a little concerned. He even has a return date, which I know isn't soon enough for him, but is sooner than I was...

Whenever the topic of tattoos comes up in conversation, people are usually confused when I tell them that one of my future acquisitions is a scene from Bride of Frankenstein.

This usually leads to the "Oh, come on, you're being...

I've been trying to pin down how I feel right now and I've came to a conclusion.

I want to get drunk. I want to set off a shit load of fireworks. I want to fuck some hot little chick. I want to get on the road with rock n roll blasting....probably fuck some more. Then I want to eat something. Then probably drink a...

Damn what a crazy couple of days. A tornado warning at work yesterday, and about 3 or different ones at work today, even though I left half way through the shift. Then while I'm on my way home, the announcement comes over the radio that there's a tornado warning for my home county and here's my dumb ass out on the road.

I ran into...

This describes me better than I can describe myself.

I'm just to skinny, not too short.

So I joined a new band and got kicked out of my old one. In that order.

Last week, an old friend from high school invited me to play bass with his band. We set it up for me to come by and see what I thought. I figured I'd be getting a cd of some of the stuff they've recorded. Instead I'm handed a...

I don't understand the young people around here. I guess that's why I refuse to be one.

The things I don't understand about them are enough for several blogs, so for now I'm going to focus on one thing: their reactions to me.

I freely admit I stand out like a sore thumb. At around 6'4" I'm always one of the taller guys around, and...
