Is it wrong to dream?

I was starting to write this as a poem, but I was forcing it and I didn’t feel comfortable with it. I’d rather write it out instead in a more direct form.
I managed to have a brief conversation with someone I hadn’t talked to in a while. She’s bogged down at school, like most people [...]

Strung Together

Strung Together (4/25/2007)
My eyes weigh a ton and my mind is diluted
By thoughts of a nothing, like a river run through it
Doused in the chemical, I feel so unstable
Like a dream ’bout to burst in an ordinary fable
Grind to the bone, these fingers I type with
A replacement for drugs and privatized violence
Stuck in between a [...]

Joined the Flickr Craze

I decided that I might as well use my Samsung Blackjack’s 1.3 mega pixel cam for once and take some shots every now and then. With that said, I decided to create an account on Flickr and upload two pictures I’ve had for a while. I actually took 4 more on a bike ride today, [...]

Review: V for Vendetta

I don’t like movies that ask you to think too much. I’ve been a pretty generic movie viewer and I thought that was fine. That changed tonight.
I’m going to break tradition here and put my summation first: V for Vendetta is now my personal favorite movie. The ideology of the passion for truth and the [...]

Smile Empty Soul “Jesus is the Manager at Wal-Mart”

Yes, the video sucks because it was shot by one guy with a complete inability to stabilize his arm and absolutely no budget or skills for the editing. Either way, it’s a catchy song.

Dream Junkie

Dream Junkie (3/17/2007)
I feel trapped in the illusions of an optimistic hope
But I’ll try to break the glass with a sober kind of note
As I sit and read the letters that you wrote with pure intention
I feel safe to fade away for the sake of self protection
Cause it pains me just to mention all the [...]

Always Informed

It’s amazing how there is so much information out there for us to consume.
Today, with the horrific events that took place at Virginia Tech, this idea of complete access to information outside of what’d given to us by the major media outlets has really shone through. Let’s start with the coverage of the actual [...]

Mystery cat rides the bus

This has nothing to do with my life. I just thought it was a pretty cool story. It comes from DailyMail.co.uk

Mystery cat takes regular bus to the shops

Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.
The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto [...]

A Gift to Myself

I bought myself a gift. With more hours at work, I have a bit more room to flex and it feels nice. This time, I picked up a Samsung 906BW 19″ widescreen LCD computer monitor. I’m still tinkering with the color settings and I think it may be a while before I get them down, [...]

Paperback Reflection

Paperback Reflection (3/7/2007)
My life’s full of doubts and of mental clouds
I reflect what is wasted behind this shroud
Sick of this headache as my temples pound
Can I shed my own skin and for once get out?
Cause it’s so hard to see me and not reel back
As I stare at myself and let the glass react
It breaks, [...]
