Teh Geek

10Mar09

Rarely am I tagged on the social networks, so when I am, I go and see. Low and behold I found out that in a friend of mine’s Mr. & Mrs. world, I am “The Geek.”

Awe, come on Terri. The Geek? Just because I blog and can speak in binary does not make me a [...]

A Black Friend

“I wish I could see in black & white or think in shades of grey, but I rage with red, cry in blue & know 59 others by name.“

I’ve just been in that mood lately. Love, friendships, life, etc… Playing by Heart is one of those films that do it for me.

Click “Play All” to watch the whole movie.

I was reading about Philip K. Dick and his writings tonight and came across one of his quotes.
“I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards.“
In many of [...]

New Beginnings

19Feb09

I’m almost two months into my new job and I couldn’t care less if I get fired. Yes, I want it, but I’ve gotten more than I originally imagined. Those who know me, know I’m more about people than I am about anything else.
Over the past 6 weeks, I have made friendships and see potential [...]



Green Shorts

12Dec08

Why am I posting this? The last line. It made me laugh.
It’s something none of you will get, it’s something not even my wife would get. It’s details like this, from people in your past, that’s been missing from my life. As someone’s who’s moved so much, isolated himself with actions & words, I feel [...]



I miss Kailey & Justin.


Dedicated to Crystal Anne and her recent ponderings.

“Nobody puts baby on a napkin…” /Dirty Dancing



It’s been underlying, but surfaced this morning. I hate the internet because it shows me how many moments, of those I love, I miss.


The marks are my own
Inflicted & sustained
A song once sang
faced with nothing, I want pain.
I feel so much
deeper than skin
I protect what’s within
by keeping you, at end.
Do you want me?
Obligation or something more?
I’ll assume what your efforts are for
as long as you never lose sight of my core.


I’m doing something right- least my version & potential of right at the time. I use to think I could adapt to everyone, but I’ve found that not everyone can adapt to me.
Thank you to Julie, Allen, Maureen, Jessica, Susie, Brenden, Rex, Gerald, Shrek, Donna, Jack, Tabbie, Crystal Anne, Barrett, Dapa, Angel, Mom, Joe, Sheena, [...]


Why I Talk

02Oct08

Much has been said about how much I share and talk.
With the passing of my grandfather, I had confirmation of how and who I am.
I’ll try my best to protect your privacy & emotions, but my nature is to share and relate. Nothing is ever malicious and I’m sorry if I ever hurt you. The [...]


Sometimes, I hope I die an early death of brain cancer, so you know I was never lying. I hope you read the list in my cold, dead hand and see your name on it- who I didn’t want in my life and who I don’t want at my funeral.
This is my reverse eulogy.
I hope [...]


It Clicked

18Sep08

This week it clicked.
Now that I’m on the proper meds and doing good, I can’t responsibly handle the amount of alcohol that I used to be able to when I wasn’t on anything. I guess that warning on the bottle is true.
Apologies to those offended in the recent past. Changes have been made.


Who We Are

19Aug08

I think Jesus had it right. Don’t tell people who & what you are, let them decide what you are to them. Actions don’t always align with words, so we must humble ourselves to outside opinions.
As for me, I have the respect of my parents, for the honor I’ve shown them over the years. To [...]


Who I am, how I am, regarding my personality, is defined. Very defined.
I’ve changed slightly over my 29 years, but the core of me has remained true. I’m sick & I’m tired of playing a role. We all have roles, but they should be ones that we want and choose, not ones we’re given.
The [...]

“My eyes told the story as my body scripted the pages.“



Me, coming back from the mom & pop convenient store, after charging it to my father’s account.
It’s like a having a “people credit card.”
Little Joey, after sticking a piece of cauliflower the size of his face, into his mouth.
Mmmm…. *cough, cough*
Miss Honeychurch’s gChat message.
I knew that level of “connection” between an uncle & niece [...]

01Mar08

Dyanna for the conversations between errands
Bethany for the home to cook dinner in
Tia & John for the game night
Justin for the friendship we once had, that lasts
Dad for the effort
Joe & Jamie for the change of scenery and company
Mom for the phone calls
Penny for making me feel useful
Casey & Kailey for the remote conversations
Katie [...]


Not “party” as it lacked a lot of the over the top elements. Excitement included chocolate zuchinni cake, Balderdash & G-Rated sex talk.
We all made the best of a great situation


I originally wrote this as a comment, but wanted to make it more visible.
I keep reflecting on the night.
My manhood & maturity, kept being called into question. I took the grabs & pushes with my arms outstretched. I responded to the insults and attacks with diffusing words, repeating, “Don’t worry, we’re leaving. We’re leaving.” [...]
