Busy Week, I Guess

September 13, 2010

So yeah, this week’s shaping up to be a busy one.  Plenty of stuff going on at work, and given the fact that the new firm is basically a start-up, that’s a really good thing.  I sort of have some issues with having to deal with cleaning up other people’s messes, but I won’t bore [...]

Being Present in the Moment

July 20, 2010

On the ride up to RI at the beginning of my MINIs on Top trip, I popped into my CD player a series of CDs my friend Jason loaned to me two or three years ago:  it was a talk by Eckhart Tolle called The Flowering of Human Consciousness.  It was pretty good – both [...]

Eat It, Monday

May 17, 2010

Some days I feel like this: Two waster kids stopped in front of Quinn, who grinned in welcome. “I haven’t had sex for ages,” Quinn said. He looked straight at the one wearing the T-shirt. “So I think I’ll fuck you first tonight.” The waster kid snarled, and threw a punch with all the strength [...]

I’m Procrastinating RIGHT NOW

April 28, 2010

Hypocrisy:  I’m going to squeeze in a few minutes at the end of this day to write and publish a blog post, the first sentence of which will contain an “I need more money” sentiment, instead of buckling down right now and banging out an hour or two of website copywriting – which will, in [...]

Back to “Normal”

February 23, 2010

Blogging again at 1AM when I should be going to bed.  At least my eyes are scratchy – there have been a couple of nights this past week in which I had trouble falling asleep. Due to the scratched cornea thing, I haven’t been at work for a week.  I’m going to have a shit-ton [...]

Too Bad

January 8, 2010

I’m doing it again.  Reading.  Fiction.  Science fiction, to be exact. And I’m enjoying it. It’s 12:28 and I’m struggling to write this because I want to get back to my book.  This doesn’t bode well, dear reader.  I’ve things to accomplish and I’m not sure that I won’t get sucked in to this novel [...]

For Whom The Bell Tolls

January 5, 2010

Well, it looks like back to routine for me.  It’s now 12:34 in the AM and I’m not sure exactly where the time went this evening.  I just finished Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, and, while I still don’t find myself in a position to rave about his writing, I think the book was [...]

Back to Work

November 30, 2009

How the hell is it Monday already?! While I’d love to say that this 5-day weekend absolutely flew by (and right now it kinda feels like it did), I can’t really say that it did.  It was a good one, though.  But then, who in their right mind can say that a 5-day weekend isn’t [...]

Book Review: Way of the Peaceful Warrior

July 19, 2009

Today’s hike was a good one.  Jack said it was “pretty easy”, then promptly fell asleep in the car for half an hour.  On the way back we stopped at the Rosendale street festival to see our friends Johnny and Nicole.  It was pretty interesting.  I checked out some of Johnny’s art and bought some [...]

Book Review: The Dresden Files

June 13, 2009

Lo.  Hearken unto me, dear reader.  Having my own blog is pretty cool ’cause I get to start a post with “Lo”.  Heheee. I haven’t put together any book reviews in a while.  That probably has something to do with the fact that it’s been a little while since I’ve finished a book.  Which is [...]
