True love

Monday, May 31st, 2004

Sometimes you just gotta do something that justifies your place here on the planet.
On Saturday, Kelli and I went to go see some old folks. Three of them were former clients of mine on the HDM route in Poway, and then there was a couple that were friends of Kelli’s parents back in the day. […]

The end is near (a music review)

Sunday, May 30th, 2004

Okay. Punk rock apparently has just died. Can someone finally put the fuggin’ nail in the coffin, and can we move on now?
To start off, it is my opinion that punk was viable as a rebellious force in the late 70s, and maybe the early 80s. At that point, the punks were giving the […]

Okay. I’ve already ranted against the folly of a lot of things. Today, I will address the issue of credit card purchases at fast food restaurants.

It went over well. I had […]

My god, my god, why have you forsaken me?
Let me define my terms. Forsaken is my word for “given an English 205 classical argument essay.” I have written about 8 drafts of this stinking thing, all displaying various aspects of my genius and intellect, but none really nailing it on the head, considering the […]

Backsliding

Wednesday, May 12th, 2004

Man, I felt like.. well, I don’t know how I felt today. Numb? Disgusted? Sad? Overwhelmed? Deceived?
I already had a long few months here, with school and all. Been busy. Lots of mental energy, lots of physical action. That much I was beginning to handle okay. But then yesterday happened, with that Nick Berg story. […]
