I was at this show, Trees, Dallas, May 5, 2000. He's been gone more than three years already. I miss him.

Shameless Plug-
My band Landfall (in which I play bass) has been on virtual hiatus for about a year due to lots of shit happening like cars dying, practice spaces being given up, drummers going back to school, singers getting married and lead guitar players quitting. But, we have a new guitarist and a new practice space and hopefully will start playing some gigs before...

My band Landfall has been on hiatus for about a year due to lots of shit happening and losing our lead guitar player. But, we're have a new guitarist and a new practice space and hopefully will start playing some gigs soon. (let me know if you have any sweet hookups in that area). We play sorta early to mid 90's indie power pop. Some...

My cat Odin died. He'd lived with my Mom since he was diagnosed with diabetes about six years ago. He was apparently attacked by a pair of loose dogs outside my mom's house in Bastrop. She had been letting him spend more time outside lately because of incontinence problems and because he liked being outdoors. They didn't actually physically harm him but my mom thinks...

Saturday edit:
Not to be a downer or anything, but today is a very special personal day for me and my family. My father passed away October 14th 1983. I was eight years old. I was of course devastated. I think sometimes about how I might be different if he had lived longer. My mother tells me how similar I am...

I just saw this:

Why is it that they only ever say how women are held to some distorted standard of beauty but never men. I was juat a step away from anorexia for a good part of this year to lose weight and lost a lot and still hate how I look. I have a list of cosmetic surgeries I'd get if only...
