The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose. […]

Today is my birthday. I forgot today was my birthday. In fact, I had no clue that it was my birthday, until I had to set a reminder on my phone. As I set the chime, something seemed odd about the day… oh yeah, birthday.
It is not that I am so absent-minded, […]

I want to shave my head. I don’t know why. There is no good reason for it. I just want to. Soon now. And then all children and those faint of heart, beware…

Tabetha and I are rather fond of arguing. Well, I like to think of it as debating, but you know… tomato tomato. Please, do not get the wrong idea - these are not the disagreements and fights that many couples have. Those kinds of arguments we have so rarely, I could count […]

Over the holidays, I visited my parents in their home. I never talk about it, but my father is currently engaged in a war against his own house. Well, it’s not so much a war, as a gradual tearing down and rebuilding of the entire house, bit-by-bit. Since he had a few […]

Tabby and I have adopted two little kittens from the Humane Society!. I’m a daddy! pet owner! slave!
Ok, this isn’t exactly news, since it happened in September, but I was lazy then. The news is much cooler now anyway, because now it comes with pictures!

Anyone who has done any web scripting knows how frustrating it can be to get everything just right. So you can imagine my chagrin, when after spending three hours getting a cool little thingy to work in Firefox and Navigator, I found that it gave me scripting errors in IE. I think I […]

Why is it that when I have a good day, half the goddamn time, I completely disintegrate at night. It is as if I run out of seratonin, or whatever happy-juice keeps me running during the day and just descend into a well of melancholy.
It is uncanny how alone one can feel in a sea […]

I am sure almost everyone has had their share of “What the hell am I doing? I’m acting like a dumbass” moments. Unless done on purpose for entertainment purposes, they are highly annoying, because you realize you are acting like a tool, but you cannot stop yourself.
I just wonder if it’s possible to get over […]

i need your arms around me, i need to feel your touch
i need your understanding, i need your love so much
you tell me that you love me so, you tell me that you care
but when i need you baby, you're never there
on the phone long, long distance
always through such strong resistance
first you say you're too […]

they say it is always darkest before dawn.  well to that i say, it sucks being in the arctic circle in the wintertime…
i do so miss white nights =/

My heart hurt, I realized for the second time today, as I have on countless other occasions.  It is a frequently recurring problem, well, perhaps not a problem, as much as an uncomfortable reminder of one's frailty.  While I have never allowed my doctors to subject me to a stress test, or even to an […]

happy new year everyone, and may this year bring joy to everyone.
i had a most wonderful celebration, if evidenced only by the fact that i felt like shit on the morning of the first =).  well, perhaps i am just exaggerating;  it was nothing more than a little headache, quickly remedied by a couple of […]

and so an era has ended.
everyone, please raise your glasses to the Big Blue Wonder (aka The Blue Beast aka Big Mama).  she was fat and ugly, but she worked her big gas-guzzling heart out.  it has been a love-hate relationship, and while its end was inevitable, i never wanted it to be like this.  […]

sitcks and stones may break my bones
but words will never hurt me

and jealousy rears its ugly head.  why? not a clue in this whole wide world with its blue skies and crazy people.  it is ridiculous to be jealous of something that was, but yet i can not seem to help it.  a flare-up of insecurity catching me with my guard down, i suppose.  for some […]

as i was trying to find an empty folder, i came upon a file of some of my early schoolwork. there i found some amusing memorabilia.
i wrote these two poems in ninth grade. the first one is a poem using onomatopoeia.
“The Crazy Monster”

Ticking and tapping,
Ringing and racking,
Hissing and munching,
Sizzling, crunching;
It crunches, it munches.
It lives in […]

as i sit down to write this, it is roughly 4:30 am, which means that i've been tossing around in my bed for close to two hours.  normally i would have no problem with being awake at this late hour.  i am a nocturnal creature and thus am used to staying up very late.  add […]

i love nature.  i love the mountains, i love the woods, and i love water.  perhaps spending every summer of my first 11 years of life on the seashore has had it's toll, but i simply love big water and hence, beaches.  i love the expansive view and feeling, i love the look of a […]
