First off, Where the Wild Things Are gets two thumbs way up. The movie is not what I expected at all, but it fulfilled my every desire as far as they kind of movie that I wanted to watch last night. The acting, the story, the voices and just how visually pleasing it was, and [...]
2010: Day 47
Day 47. Holy crap, already?! It really feels great to be moving right along. This day, like most Tuesday’s was filled with an absence of large groups of people. One good thing did come out of it. Hartford, CT witnessed its first calm, and enjoyable winter day of the season. It was a day that [...]
2010: Day 31
The final day of January. I actually had a good day, filled with plenty of laughs and several hours of work. The day started out with “L” telling me about a guy she had had an “incident” with at the club. She said that I realized last night that you can’t joke around with guys [...]

My heart hurts because of you boy
You’re tearing me apart boy

Love’s Animosity
When I wasn’t here I wanted to be. Watching, learning, growing…intrigued by all six senses brought me to a place that even the breeze couldn’t touch me. My past is such a mind maze that is impossible to figure out. Why are we here and who are we, comparatively. I used to think I knew [...]
