Snow in Chicago

Hahaha. I left Chicago on Friday, and for the 8 days I was there, the weather was reasonable, without any snow. There were a few times where all I was wearing were shorts and a hoodie.   Now I hear from my relatives that there's about 8 inches of snow on the ground, and that a lot of flights were canceled on sunday...whew, I'm glad I got out of there unscathed.   The weather gods were smiling upon me. Maybe I should go buy some lottery tickets.

First gear

Where has the year gone? I find myself asking that more and more often these days. Why, as we age, does the perception of time speed up. Where does the excess go? Is it all too much fodder for the langoliers in the end?   Meh...   I again feel stuck. I wanted to be free of my job, but the last year has seen the economy live up to the expectations of so many doomsday predictions. It has tanked, and unemployment has soared. Yet oddly enough "Black Friday" seems to, by most accounts, have been

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

What's your limit?

http://www.kpho.com/news/18154062/detail.html   Ever think about limits, especialy your own?   Ever consider life so bad you have to set a limit to the grief or punishment you endure?   It seems the 8-year-old boy in Arizona who is charged with murdering his father and the man renting a room in their house had a limit.   1,000 spankings.   1,000.   One Thousand.   Think of an eight-year-old boy keeping a list of the spankings he received, probably for the meerest of reasons.   Th

Sick of Being Stood UP

I'm not even going to bother anymore. Even when someone agrees to meet (rare enough, everybody's got some excuse) they don't actually show up.   I'm not that bad looking. I like to think I have a decent personality, but nobody bothers to actually go out with me.   So now I'm not bothering. Just going to do my own thing and quit caring.

The Tale of Monkey King

This is what happens when I don't get enough sleep. Totally not edited, btw.   Tell me a story, Khay. I don't want to. Aw, come on. Please? I said I don't want to. If you want a story so bad, why don't you tell one? You owe me one. How come I always owe you a story? Something must be wrong with your record keeping. Nah. Seems to come out right every time to me. I saw your grade in Algebra. That's not reassuring. Come on. You know you're going to. Might as well give in now before I tak

Opps

I was talking with my sister in-law. We both seem to connect because we're the same age. I think of her as a sister I never had. She into documentary film making and I always had an interest in movies but never did what she did with the topic.   We were talking a bit and I showed her my earlier stories. She liked them. She mostly like the one that covered family history which was a pivotal prior to my birth years before.   As she read some of the other stories ... I think she picked up and d

Where the line gets blurry

This morning I woke up to a really sad email telling me that someone I met online years ago passed away. He'd been given a diagnosis of 6 months to live not long ago, but I guess sometimes the doctors are wrong. Anyway, I've tried hard to separate the online friends I have from the friends I have irl, but it doesn't always work that way. I still find myself wondering and worrying and hurting for others, even though I've never met some of them face to face. I have exactly one friend that I've m

Chronicles of My Life

It looks like a spade...

So I may have to call it that.   Every so often I go through this period during which I keep thinking, "I used to be a much nicer person." I admit that there's every possibility that I did not used to be a much nicer person. Perhaps it's just an illusion, the classic 'good ol' days' phenomenon, but in any case I think I used to be a nicer person.   I never used to be judgmental. I always used to try my best to see things from the other person's perspective, give them the benefit of the do

Men and Women think differently about sex

I supposed I always knew men & women (generally) thought differently about sex, but it wasn't so clear cut to me until last night. I'm still on hiatus in Chicago and last night I met a friend for coffee & chatting at Panera (btw, Panera is like the most bestest place in the whole world! I really really wish they'd have one in my town in California...Asiago Cheese Bagels, Free wifi, cookies to die for ).   So this friend of mine is a former high school classmate. We were having a real

Friends and Lovers?

I don't sleep with my friends. Well actually I don't screw my friends. Sometimes we share a bed in the non-sexual sense. It's always just made more sense that way.   Recently, Scott seemed to have been hinting that we might make a good couple again. I stop and look at it objectively and I have to say it makes sense from a detached standpoint. We have a lot of fun together. We spend a lot of time together. We're each other's 'type', and we definitely care about each other a great deal.

A postwhore no more?

It's been a while hasn't it? As some might have noticed, I haven't updated my blog in quite some time. I guess you could say that I haven't really had my focus here. As some might have also noticed, I'm not posting much. Thus, don't call me a post whore, because I'm totally not! I've been a good boy. I haven't even checked to the top 20 overall posters in quite some time. Am I still even number 4? Okay, I just checked, and I am actually still #4. My post per day average has slipped considerably

Subliminal Criminal

Well good news if your one of my readers... I'm working on the last chapter of If By Chance and I have assembled a small group of beta readers for my next online story. I've been working on something that's not for the internet, but I haven't shown it to anyone yet because it's not going to be for public consumption. I hate to waste my editor's time on something that isn't going online and that I don't actually have a plan for yet. I highly doubt that this story's going to have a gay theme to it

Did I shave my nuts for this?

A few days ago a cute guy i met online asked me out for a date for today. We were supposed to go to the beach. A few hours ago i send him a text message asking me when he wants to meet. The first answer I get back is "when do you want to f**K" and I thought "what the hell, you asked me on a date not to screw" so I messaged him back asking if that was all he was interested in. He responds that he was just checking to make sure thats not what I was interested in. Great... he thinks he has to be de

What once was is now lost.

Just another day in the land of Michael!

I don't do it for the money.   I don't do it for the benefits.   I don't do it because I'm forced too.   I do it because it's something I love.   I do it because it's something I'm good at.   I do it because even though I'm not working that day I still seem to be there just hanging out, because I love the place.   I do it because I can wake up every morning and say I love my job, even at the hardest times, because it's me doing something I love. How many of you can say you do that? I

Lies they tell you to keep you from eating a bullet

It'll get better..   Oh really? How is that supposed to happen? When you've seen dream after dream go up in smoke. Everything you care about is gone. Everyone you care about is dead. How is it f-ing supposed to get any better.   Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem...   A temporary problem? I've had to fight every f-ing day of my whole life for the right to exist. How is that a temporary problem.   You've got so much to live for..   You can f-ing have it.   Life is

Dear Red States....

Dear Red States: We've decided we're leaving.We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes California,Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of NewUSA. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states.

Evil

Why fight it.   I'm evil. I'm a bastard. Your suffering makes me laugh.   I stomp the brains out of puppies and kittens. I push old ladies into traffic.   I think starvation in Eithopia is a hoot because there is no food there and the f-ing idiots hang around waiting for it to show up.   I like wars because they test my latest technologies and the lame f-kers don' survive.   I say nuke the f-ing whales. What did they ever do for anybody?   I eat beef and punch vegatarians because th
