Looking up

Things are, that is.   Although, I was looking up last night when I had to pee and stopped on an off-ramp in Arizona. There was a whole lot of dark out there and when I looked up not only could I see the Milky Way, but Snickers, M and M's, and a Pay Day bar, too.   When I was younger I was very afraid of the dark. Still am, a bit. Things hide in the dark, things that go bump in the night, like the stereo in my truck. The base is set at a decent level, but last night as I was driving across a

And A 20-year Tradition Comes to An End...

Skidfest, the local charity rock event that has been held every semester in a block of row homes known as Skid Row since 1990, has been denied a permit because of the university bookstore construction going on behind it. I knew this was going to happen as soon as I realized that the construction would take up the two parking lots that surrounded Skid, because it would severely limit access to the event. And you could feel it at the last one that the end was near when the cops closed the event

Cajun jokes

Q: What's blue and yellow and eats nuts? A: Gonorrhea.     A priest is out for an afternoon stroll and turns the corner to find little Johnny with a hammer smashing the daylights out of a bunch of ants. The kid is saying to himself, "I hate these f**king ants... I hate these f**king ants..." The priest is taken aback by the little boy's language and talks to him, saying that God doesn't make junk. "Tomorrow I will be coming by again, and if you can tell me three things that God created th

Extreme Silliness

The gloomies have passed.   Don't get your hopes up because I'm not 100% here.   Suddenly, today I flew out of the dark hole I've been in for the past few weeks and experienced the extreme silliness of the high end of the type of bipolar disease I have.   Looking back at that moment (it actually lasted a couple hours), I can't believe what was going through my mind, but most of it was extremely silly.   It might have had something to do with the extremely cute guy I ran into in North Ros

A sickly, soppy birthday wish

Ladies and Gentlemen.   Today, the most important person in my life turns 27. It is a milestone to be sure, but not usually an important one. For us though, 27 is THE most important. I explain why further on.   I gave Paya a small gift, with the following inscription (well, a similar inscription, this one slightly edited)   -------------------   Today is a special day, of a special month of a very special year. Today you are 27 years old. You have never been 27 before, and never will you

Dreams of Tomorrow- more preview

Dreams of Tomorrow   The Red Planet Bar & Grill was like a thousand others. It was a seedy little establishment at the edge of Flynt-towns spaceport and, much like the town, it had seen better days. When Mars was booming, the place would easily seat a few thousand people a night. Now a good night was barely a hundred. It was just the sort of dark, quiet place that Daniel Sokolsky was looking for to do business. He picked a nice dark booth in the back, ordered a steak and waited for his con

"I hate you... But I love you."

{October 2, 2010}   Midnight here. I've noticed that I've been writting to many happy love pieces, so I thought I would take a different approach this time. It's love, but it's dark and not pretty. Please give it a read if you have some free time, and if you don't like it, that's fine, all I ask for is that you give it a chance. Any feedback is definately appreciated!!! cheers <3   --- ...   The red car shimmered across the asphalt, dripping rain like blood.   No one ever to

Who do you pray to...

Who do you pray to when you need just one miracle? I'm afraid god will no longer do. We have a contentious relationship he and I. Plus I wasted my one good miracle prayer on him years ago. I remember, I prayed for a lego set, a stupid child who prayed for a lego set, said he'd never ask for anything again.   I've asked for things since, better things. Great people, and they have all been unanswered.   I'm getting desperate here. I can't keep watching the good ones leave.

Dating

Almost three months since my last entry already! Quite a bit has happened.   I was on GA a lot over the summer, since I spent three weeks in a cast and was stuck at my parents't house with no means to drive back home. I ended up coming out to my parents at that time. It was hard on them, but not dramatic, and was probably made easier by the fact that I came out as bisexual. They keep hoping I'll end up marrying again even though I made it clear that I wasn't going to date women right now.

I'm not dead.

so.......... it's, um, been a while.   six months, in fact.   six months since my last (proper) blog update and...   um...   I've got nothing.   well, that's not entirely true. I've been places, met people, done things, made progress. but still, as I sit and write this...   nothing.   it's like life has settled down and become pleasantly non-descript.   vanilla, even.   it's not chocolate, strawberry, topping or sprinkles; but it's kinda sweet and fulfilling nonetheless.   as

Stardust - a preview

Stardust     I. Genesis   The comet 1733/Latimer was born in an ancient supernova remnant among the rack and ruin of a star and its shattered planets. For eons the magnetic and gravitational force of the pulsar left behind acted on the gas and dust like a blender keeping it hot and ionized and blowing it farther out into the emptiness between stars.   Over millions of years the gas and dust of the titanic explosion began to cool, the nebulae cloud began to contract and the comet began to

Sinking fast

I hate this depression shit.   I'm sinking fast and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.   I take my medicine and it works, too, almost all the of the time.   I don't want to have to go back on the mood stabilizer because I can't drive a truck and be sleepy all the time.   So, I have to accept the cyclical nature of my condition.   Overly happy to down so far sad seems like a good mood.   I wrote a whole bunch of stuff after this, but I deleted it. It made me feel worse.

Haters?

To those of you who find my or Krista's blog offensive and demeaning, boo f**king hooo tough f**king shit. instead of going around and giving each and every single one of our entry's the lowest possible rank... How about instead you put on your grown up pants and just stay the f**k away from our blogs? Because you see these are OUR private blogs, where though GA we are allowed to express ourselves pretty much freely. So go cry a f**ken river and bitch and moan all you want. In other words, if yo

" Queer. "

- Don't spit that word at me, I've done nothing wrong to you. You look at me, and you think you see who I really am, but you'll never know me. -   He hiss those hateful words at me, my love didn't ignore it, so he asked and glared: "What did you say?" and before replying, they walked away. It makes me howl with pain that there are people who would ever want to hurt us like that. Don't they realize that people suffer everyday from hearing those words? They suffer, because it robs

In Rio Rico, again!

I'm sitting in the Pilot at exit 12 on I-19. It's interesting to note that the exit numbers on I-19 are in kilometers, not miles. It doesn't matter all that much to me since I'm only concerned with exits 4, 8, and 12.   I'm here because I delivered my load yesterday off of exit 4, in Nogales. It was seven barrels of paint going to the Ford plant in Hermosillo. Those seven barrels weighed a little over 38,000 lbs. They weren't your ordinary barrel.   If I was going to our yard in Nogales, I w

Death

My mother died today. I wasn't there. When I got to the hospital she was already dead and I went to her room with my sister and neice to sit with the thing that used to be my mother. i say 'thing' not out of any disrespect but to acknowledge the fact that my mother no longer inhabits it.   We sat around for a while feeling as if we should be saying or doing something but there was nothing to say or do.   I came home and lit candles, said a prayer to the goddess and contemplated what it was

Grad School Faux-Paus

I had a bit of a faux-paus today where I cracked some joke that I wouldn't let up on, and the professor took me aside and told me that I might not be picking up on the social cues that I was ticking off some of the kids in the class.   I felt pretty embarrassed, although it reiterated to me what a great professor I have. It just reminded me that social cues and graces just are never going to be second-nature to me, and that I really have to remember when I should let my guard down and just fre
