It's been a year since I updated this thing? Damn, where has the time gone? So many changes in the last twelvemonth and it's not like I don't have anything to say. I just haven't been using this forum, obviously.

This year's birthday wish list (a slight bit more practical this time, since I didn't get any of the things I asked for last year):...

I have nothing in particular about which to blog but I don't want my most recent entry to have been six months ago. If a certain person should happen to be reading this she'd give me shit if such an old update was still here.

That sounds like an oxymoron... "old update". (it describes me quite succinctly, too)

As long as I'm doing this and...

I'm off to the north woods until June 7. See y'all when I get back...

"Housekeeping" by Marilynne Robinson... you MUST read this book.

"It is clear that the twentieth century is the most disturbed century within the memory of humanity; any contemporary of ours who wants peace and comfort before everything else has chosen a bad time to be born."
...Leon Trotsky

And it looks like it ain't gonna be any better in the twenty first century...

Dang... I finally figured out how to post a profile picture! This isn't a very good likeness of me, but it'll have to do for now.

I'm happy that something went right today, finally. It was a rough day all around; too much stress. And when I got home I said something really nasty, that I regret already, to a girl who parked her car...

A haiku:

Winter rain --
the bears at the diner
drink their coffee black

...where does the time go?

Today's useless factoid: Did you know that the original zeppelins, the ones that were used in commercial service until the Hindenberg disaster, actually had an on-board SMOKING LOUNGE? I don't think I could be at all comfortable with lighting up when there's, like, half a million cubic feet of explosive hydrogen directly above the ceiling.

Yeah, I know... I don't have a photo of myself in this space yet. I'm really, really picky about pictures of me. The shots of me that I've liiked most have always been self portraits and I haven't had the urge to do any of them lately. But I'll get around to it eventually.

I should have photographed my mutilated arms after I got out...

Something I've been wondering about that I was reminded of when I saw the two-girl photo set that went up today: Why is it that so many guys are turned on by women having sex, but at the same time are blatantly and violently homophobic when it comes to men? Is that hypocritical or what? It reminds me of the guys who come into the...

Ok, I'm sick of looking at this blank white space. Even if no one reads it, I gotta put something in here. It's Friday night and it's my birthday and I just got out of the hospital and I'm not supposed to go anywhere even if I could. My arms are so covered with bruises and holes from the IV and blood draws that I...
