Knock you down…

“We were never meant to be, baby, we just happened.” Occasionally I’ll hear a line from a song, in this case an R&B song, and instantly be drawn to it. That line, in context, is poignant. Then I’ll look up the song and find that I appreciate it even MORE, but for entirely different reasons: [...]

The Austin Decider

Filed in Comedy

Check it out, friends, I’ve been quoted in stuff:   “Is-this-thing-on?” I met up with Dan a while back, and I think he did a great job with the article…. maybe I should email him and actually tell him that.

WTF?

I know the site looks broken. I’m trying to upgrade it and make some changes. The temp site has been unofficially relegated to “expired” status. This means… well nothing really. I might get around to deleting the wordpress.com journal. I might not. Not sure. I can say this, I’m only 1/5 of the way done [...]

5 MPH

Filed in Rants/Thoughts

I love Austin, but the infrastructure here is screwed up. This city is not built to support the number of people that live in it. Much to the chagrin of my friends I complain about this often, but this afternoon I feel a little vindicated. A man pulled a gun on himself in a park [...]

Return wings, fear eating anything else at establishment that might have come into contact with their fryer, and or batter (including consuming any more of previously ordered fried pickles) Don’t complain, pay for the fried picks and drinks, [...]

The secrets of “Old.”

Filed in Rants/Thoughts

I’m beginning to suspect that old people hide the secrets of oldness, possibly so as to not scare children out of aging. They only reveal the downsides well after you have past the opportunity to make other choices as regards the process of aging. Up until it’s too late they regale you only with stories [...]

“Staff of Knowing”

Filed in Politically Speaking, Rants/Thoughts

There is no way for me to word the following thought without it coming off as crass, so you’ll just have to take it as it comes… I’m amused that Levi Johnston is somehow considered an authority on the Palin family when his only qualification appears to be that he got away with putting his [...]

Interpretations Requested

Filed in Dreams, Random

There is a recurring figure that appears in my dreams, a medieval warrior who keeps a gigantic bird of prey, the size of a man, as a pet. Sporadically the bird will appear flying around the skies of my dreams, and my unconscious whispers that the warrior is nearby. Last night I dreamed that the [...]

What future may come…

Filed in Random

Please, god, don’t let me turn into this guy. I know this man. I have glimpsed him as a possible conclusion in a future molded by safe decisions.
