So I’m breaking it down at Tryst last night karaoke style, entertaining the masses with Simply Red’s Holding Back the Years. I’m in the last stanza, which has two long high notes. It’s been a while since I’ve performed that, so I know there’s the chance my voice is going to crack. I get to [...]

Push the piston, press the button, it’s the perfect job
Published February 26th, 2008 in Life. 0 CommentsSo when I got to work the other night (the aforementioned night where I was awake for 24 hours) and heard that there was going to be some “network maintenance” done, I knew I was in trouble. You have to understand that, although we deal with a binary system of yes and no as well [...]
Like I said in my last post, I started writing about my weekend, and the next thing I know the post was huge. So I broke it up over two posts (you lucky bastards). It’s been an interesting last few days on the lady front. I seem to have this knack for meeting beautiful intelligent [...]
I’ll admit it right now – I’m a fucking idiot. After hanging out with some friends Saturday night, I got home a little before midnight and proceeded to relax watching some shows I’d recorded. So there I am, chillin in my chair, got my dog at my feet, one cat in my lap, the other [...]
Last night, as I sat in a group of people I barely knew trying to be comfortable while loud music and background noise that goes along with a crowded bar making normal conversation all but impossible, I took a second to ponder everything that has happened in my life to get me to this point. [...]
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 [...]
So after a two month hiatus, I’m heading back to into a karaoke bar tonight. Thanks to a lingering cold and allergies, my voice was real scratchy, plus they closed my favorite bar. Hoping the new place I found will be as good or better as the other one. Yeah, 321 Max was kinda smokey [...]
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 [...]
Holy goddamn motherfuckin christ. When I got up this evening, I called the bar I mentioned yesterday to see if my debit card had been found. I really wasn’t looking forward to having to change my account number on all my bills, so I was hoping they’d have it. Sadly, when I called they reported [...]
