I haven’t posted lately due to a rather nasty case of melancholy. It’s my bipolar illness acting up again after lying dormant for more than a year. My pdoc claims it’s “that time of year for bipolars” but there are other loathsome, personal factors involved that I’m too ashamed to admit.
If you’re unfamiliar with bipolar [...]
I stopped today at the Wawa a mile or so from my place to pick up some Rockstars for myself and Sweethearts candy–a surprise!–for my two daughters. I paid with a credit card, and held out out my driver’s license for the cashier.
This guy not only didn’t ask to see my license, he didn’t even [...]
and the disarming nihilism put down on the page by this Great Man is simply overpowering. It floors me. Takes me back 25 years to a cynical kid having unbearable, racing thoughts of what dying really meant, not to exist anymore except in the memories of people who knew you, loved you, who identified your [...]

Here I was, sheepishly and without proper knowledge casually mentioning Twitter.com as something I’d recently discovered was cool…
Surprise! It’s become a colossal social community perfectly encapsulated in The 10 Ways I Learned to Use Twitter in 2007, written by a guy named Dan York.
Honestly, it’s fascinating reading. Now Go get your twitter on!

The Gods of Rock looked down upon our humble apartment today and smiled widely as two young aspiring musicians jammed their socks off playing Rock Band on the PS3 with Kaitlin switching between drums and singing.
I made a few cameos, singing my personal karaoke classic “Creep” by Radiohead and a shaky rendition of rapping on [...]
The city is still breathing but barely, it’s true
Through buildings gone missing like teeth
That line by The Weakerthans always makes me think of home, the home I’ve known more years than not. Maybe there’s a yellow tooth (”Don’t brush me! Don’t brush me!“) for Dane Cook, too.
But I’m moving again, closer to my daughters, but [...]
It’s been a great year for music so far, with new releases by The Shins, Modest Mouse, Son Volt, and Bright Eyes. All four albums have maintained heavy rotation in my collection.
And then a new song comes out by one of your very favorite bands and you’re in love again. “What Light,” a beautiful, uplifting single from [...]

“Go on failing. Go on.
Only next time, try to fail
better.”
— Samuel Beckett
Id be an extremely short-sighted pessimist if I believed I was always destined to fail. I’ve learned from my stumblings. I’ve been shaped by my failures; they have become who I am.
A few [...]
What would you do, dear readers, if you were told by a doctor you had only 9 months to live? Or 6 months? Not the kind of news you’d like to hear, obviously. But now that you would be staring death in the face, what would you change? How would you live out the rest of your life?
Myself, [...]
