Conscientious Objections? December 20, 2009

I feel like I broken machine, my cogs clicking, slipping and failing to engage. I’m just so tired… I want to lay down and wake up again an entire day later. Maybe then I’d feel like myself again.
Right now, I’m in the house where I grew up, hiding in the computer room as a group [...]

A Week in Haiku (Pt. 2) December 9, 2009

Tuesday
games, tea, and banter
when i go, i know i’ll miss
games, tea, and banter
memos as poems
creating a string of pearls
from words and words
Wednesday
subtle knowing glance
smile of commiseration
safety in numbers
brittle blue sunlight
breath boiling softly skyward
boots briskly shuffle
involuntary
lip curl as milling shoppers
buy shit they don’t need
[Edited for punctuation]

I Promise That I’ll Rock, Rock, Rock… December 5, 2009

I am a million dollars…
I am a rocket to the moon…
I am more bacon than the pan can handle…
I love to dance. Even going out around town, where I fear that I’ll be seen by students and my credibility impugned… I can’t help it. After some games tonight, reberk and Mr. Keith turned in, leaving [...]

On Location: Toronto (Episode Three) October 20, 2009

So, I’ve been back home for three days now and I must admit that my spirits are low. I’ve just been feeling unmoored. I know that there are things that I should be doing, but I’m having a really hard time assembling the necessary willpower to do them. As a result, I’ve spent a fair [...]

On Location: Toronto (Episode One) October 11, 2009

So, I’m currently in Toronto, land of a sunshine (I’m still wearing shorts), one million restaurants, and sweet hangouts. I’ve been told to keep on the lookout for sleazily-dressed Torontonian nightlife and their hoochie-earings, but the big city doesn’t seem to be doing any worse on that score than back home.
So far, my trip has [...]

… I just wanna bang on my drum all day… September 30, 2009

I am having a *really* hard time getting motivated today (he says as he sits down at his computer at 5pm, only to promptly start blogging). Another night of insomnia, coupled with a general lack of enthusiasm is kind of sapping my willpower… Bah!
I shouldn’t complain. There are a lot of sweet things going on [...]

Toot toot! All aboard the emo-ship ‘Frangibility’… September 22, 2009

Hey everybody… I haven’t posted for a while, in part because I haven’t had much to say.  Maybe I should be keeping my silence right now, given that I’m just going to be mewling forth onto the internets,  but I kind of feel like talking… Given that it’s noon and most people that I know [...]

Divergent Perspectives! August 31, 2009

As promised, here are a few photos from my birthday-extravaganza (described in my previous post). These particular shots, taken by DangerDuke, capture the feeling of the evening really well (as well as being generally sweet candid photos)… the only problems are that there really aren’t any shots of the tavern itself and that some guests [...]

A Night of Mysteries! August 30, 2009

Last night, I was treated to an incredibly thoughtful birthday surprise, perpetrated by the entire group of lovely, wacky individuals that I am fortunate enough to call my friends. This is not to say that I was entirely caught off guard; after all, they needed to send me a cryptic note telling me not to [...]

So far, 29 has been pretty good… August 28, 2009

… I mean, I lost all my teeth and I’ve been shitting the bed every night, but I figured that just came with the territory.
My birthday was a pretty low-key affair, which suits me fine. After sleeping in, I bought a plane ticket for Toronto (Bro Visit 09!), went kayaking, picked up some scotch, played [...]
