Give it your own title

I guess the first thing I should do is get the dust rag out and wipe the spiderwebs off of my blog. I can't believe it's been so long since I've logged on to GA. Actually, this is the first time in a long time I've been able to sit down and catch my breath in a long time.   I'm sure that everyone knows by know, but for those that might not know, I became a dad in April. My head's still spinning a little bit, but the newness of it is pretty much gone now, if that makes any sense. My daughter a

Gym? What's a gym?

Jumped on the scales this morning...   Not good.   Used to be pretty big (108kg/240lb), lost a lot of it when I was nineteen (76kg/170lb), and now I've put exactly half of it back on (92kg/205lb). Dunno how I feel about that just yet. I'm almost twenty-three now, a couple of inches taller taller than I was at nineteen and a whole lot broader through the shoulders, so I guess that explains a bit of it. Still, feels like I've let some of that good work go to waste. Bit disappointed in myself,

extraordinary \/\/@y$

I'm writing this now smelling like cheap wine and cigarettes. I swear my friends went through at least 2 packs each tonight.   Tonight, considering it a Sunday the day of rest, we went and bought four bottles of the cheapest wine we could find (11.99) or something. It was cheap and not worth of my throat, but it went down anyways in all of the cheap glory it held. Giving me a weird drunk, I washed that down with a few bowls, we pushed the car into the sand (we went to crystal cove) - we had to

Single and......no clue

I think that has to constitute as the longest week of my life! [sigh]   Well, the deed is done and I’m now single. I’m not really sure how I feel about it to be honest, it’s been such a long time since I’ve been on my own...truly on my own. It feels liberating, but then the coin flips, and my mood darkens. I guess it'll take time for things to settle down to some semblance of normalcy.   So anyway, the break up. I’m not going to go into great detail, because it’s still kinda raw. But I didn

Eggplants Are Purple?

Am I the only one who thinks that if you're going to be a checker in a grocery store, you should be able to recognize various kinds of produce? And we're not talking exotics here, just your basic everyday vegetables. I did my weekly shopping today and I had to identify four different things so the checker ringing me up knew what to look for on her list. I regularly buy a lot of fresh fruits and veggies so maybe it's just me, but eggplant, zucchini, Portobello mushrooms, and sugar snap peas are v

I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth

I'm not sure where this is going, and I'll admit that from the beginning. Fair warning.   I guess I just want to know if we're ever gonna be okay. Is that too much to ask? I remind myself that I'm not the center of the universe, let alone yours, and that maybe you need some time to figure stuff out, but a lot of times, it doesn't feel like that's what is happening at all. It feels more like you're just trying to see who cares enough to make the cut or maybe to prove something to yourself, I'm

And so it goes...

So there's this boy that's been hanging around the park this past month. (May) After about the first week of seeing him come in and out of our building to drink water etc, I made it a point to say Hi and etc, just because I make a habit of knowing all of the teens who hang around the park. Believe it or not their good kids, and very helpful. So we always make it a point to get to know them if they start hanging around a lot.   Anyways so he would come in, say Hi to me and we'd talk for a lit

Homophobia In Black!

The Saga Continues.... Homophobia In Black! By Nevin Jefferson   The Saga Continues... . Homophobia In Black! By Nevin Jefferson   The Religious Wrong and The Clipped Wing have stooped to a new low, which is startling since they are already underneath hell. And what did these hate mongers go and do to disgust me this time? They found a mouthpiece in Black to speak the hateful and idiotic bigoted ill thoughts that they deem gospel on the front page of The Seattle

Shaken, not stirred.

Have you ever written something that's really shaken you up?   Like, you've sat down and began writing a scene at your computer, and it's just taken you to a place you really didn't want to go?   I have.   I've just spent the past couple of days pouring my heart and soul into something massive, and now I'm scared half to death that it's not going to get the job done. I mean, f**k. I don't pour my heart and soul into anything anymore. Why this? Why now? Jesus Christ. Where the hell did this
