I knew it was going to be one of those interesting evenings out on the town when I started receiving multiple phone calls and texts from people for an event I had nothing to do with. Even when i can just sit back and relax, I’m still the coordinator. That, or people just want to [...]

I really don’t know why I didn’t take a nap or something Friday night after getting home. I had a fun evening that started a bit late, met some new people, flirted with a cute gal, tried working my mojo on a really hot gal, but no dice. Got home and just couldn’t sleep. I [...]
First off, I need to state that I’ve been up all evening, only plan on getting a few hours of sleep before heading out to help some friends move. So if this post starts to veer off, just work with me. But the whole helping friends thing is kind of the point of this post. [...]
My phone rang yesterday morning waking up from my sleep – now mind you, since I work third shift this means I had just fallen asleep. And we’re talking the kind of sleep where you’ve been smacked upside the head with something heavy and medieval. It was work telling me I didn’t have to come [...]
The Trip to Dallas – Part 1, Lessons Learned
Published March 3rd, 2008 in Friends, Life and Music. 0 CommentsThis past weekend I joined a few friends of mine (Alex, Kathy, and Jessica) to crash at Kate’s new place and go to the North Texas Irish Festival. If I weren’t still recovering from the trip, I’d do a whole write-up, but we packed a lot into 3 days so I’m going to spread out [...]
You’re already the voice inside my head
Published February 21st, 2008 in Friends, Life and Music. 0 CommentsOne of my longest best friends told me she loved me last night. Now, before you go thinking the wrong thing, I believe she meant it as I took it – the strongest form a platonic love you can have. We were there for each other as we went through the various stages of healing [...]
Sadly, the “ten year reality” can even be read as “once you remove your rose-colored glasses”. It puts me in the mind of how when you first get to know someone you are interested in how you can overlook their negative qualities and just focus on the good. How many times have you heard someone [...]
Would you shelter me in your warm and darkened grave?
Published February 18th, 2008 in Friends and Life. 0 CommentsI was recently reminded of an old story – after a hard day’s work, a man heads to a river bank and meets his lover. He rests his weary head on her lap, and stares up at the stars. He falls asleep to the sounds of the river flowing, to the feeling of her fingers [...]
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
Published February 11th, 2008 in Friends and Life. 3 CommentsSaturday was one of those days where I had a number of possibilities open to me – where later on you look back and wonder if you made the right choice. If you have two choices, one is always the “safe” bet, while the other is the great unknown. Saturday was unique in that it [...]
There’s something good waitin down this road
Published February 7th, 2008 in Friends and Life. 2 CommentsLast night was a good night. It was missing a thing or two to make it a great night, but that’s like being upset when you win $100 instead of $200. But I digress – it was a good night. Went to the Alamo Drafthouse for their Weird Movie Wednesdays – nothing like watching crappy [...]
