Rants and musings, without care for substance.

It’s five in the morning and I awaken from a dream.
I threw a party at my place. It must have been a crazy one, since there were empties everywhere and half-empty bottle of booze on the counter. I wake up and find that my guests have already made breakfast for themselves. There are health food [...]

A lot of little things got scheduled over the past few weeks and all ended up transpiring in the past couple days. This past week was very busy as a result. In addition to my day job I…
worked for four different clients in three different states, much of it by phone
did one day and two [...]

I’ll wait out headaches and deal with muscle ache and a host of other ailments. I head to the doctor once in a while if some problem doesn’t right itself after a while. I don’t usually medicate unless I’m a complete mess and can’t function, such as the other day when my nose just would [...]

I had a nice time at home with the family. Went for a bike ride before presents and dinner. It was my first bike ride in years, which made me consider — as I have been lately — getting a bike and getting some exercise thataway. It’s low-impact and I always enjoyed riding as a [...]

The pile of bills and invoices on my desk piled up high enough that I felt compelled to organize. Aided by a rather eclectic mix of Busta Rhymes, Cake, Hooverphonic, Wyclef Jean, and Thievery Corporation I set out to file everything away properly. I have a system for it already, I had just been neglecting [...]

After a non-stop jam-packed kick-ass weekend — including, but not limited to a holiday party at Evelyn’s Cafe (which I’d like to get back to to eat sometime), seeing (and liking) Scythian at Mick O’Shea’s, eating at the Papermoon Diner for the first (but not the last) time, going to a subwoofer shootout, DJ/MC/attending a [...]

The overhead fluorescent light in the kitchen has been acting up for several months now. It hums a little more than normal and the tubes flicker dimly when you turn them on. Light output is cut in half. Besides complaining I haven’t done anything about it until the other day when the single flood in [...]

The oil pressure warning light on my car has been flickering lately. After a day or two it began to bother me. I’ve had lots of tech support moments where people complain about something but then can’t describe the circumstances, so I began to pay attention to when it was happening so that I could [...]
Posted in life in general, outside on Dec 5th, 2007
I love snow. It’s aesthetically pleasing pretty and your footprints follow you wherever you go. I woke up this morning after a late night and wandered downstairs, rather oblivious to the fact that there was indeed weather outside. As I picked up my jacket off the floor where I had tossed it while on a [...]

I came home today, walked in the door and promptly tripped over a pair of shoes. Then I realized that there were six pairs of shoes in the entryway, all mine. It was disturbing, considering that I used to be the guy that had one or two pairs of shoes. Now its six. Scratch that, [...]

I never go shopping.
I am the epitome of exemplary male psyche and behavior when it comes to buying stuff. I have a set list of items to get. I get in, purchase the items I need, then I get out. I don’t linger. I don’t cruise the store for other things that aren’t on the [...]

Due to circumstances outside of my control, I won’t be able to be with my family this year for Thanksgiving. It’s a really a bummer, especially since both my aunts will be there (one in from Alaska, the other from Canada). They’ll all be hanging out together all day, not too far away but a [...]

I finally got back to the gym today after a brief hiatus. I was briefly worried over the weekend when I found myself short of breath, but after a good amount of cardio this evening I feel much better and assured that my lung capacity is alright. I worked my abs proper, such that they [...]

Sometimes your body knows what you need better than you do. If you’re sleep deprived, you’ll fall asleep in the strangest of places despite all physical (standing up) or aural surroundings (during a rock concert).
After only getting a handful of hours sleep early Sunday morning, I crashed pretty hard late Sunday afternoon after picking up [...]

Spent the better part of last night at Holy Frijoles up in Hampden at the Octovember Baltimore Blogger Happy Hour. It was nice to meet people whom I’ve been reading for over a year. There were a few people that I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself to. That’s my only regret, which isn’t [...]
