The laughter in manslaughter

July 20th, 2008 You will rarely see a positive post come out of this blog. Today, amazingly, I am breaking the mold. In reality, everything still sucks. There still is little to no job market for a thirty something student, things are fairly tight, and there is little end to the misery in my crystal ball. [...]

Reality

July 16th, 2008 Yesterday was a trying day. I made some mistakes. I did some things wrong. I was uninformed, unprepared, and careless. I genuinely felt terrible about the entire thing. I got to talk to a virtual friend over the phone for the first time yesterday. He offered perspective, he offered advice, and he talked really really [...]

Sometimes I wonder …

Something

July 7th, 2008 My wife gently reminded me I have been totally slacking on this blog lately. She is right, I have been. However, it is not my fault, I don’t make this blog happen, this blog makes me happen. I have tried to manufacture things from time to time, but in the end I have found that this blog [...]

July 1st, 2008 This is going to be one of those half asleep and equally confused type of posts. I have read numerous material that suggests free-writing for a predetermined length of time and then seeing what happens. This is what I plan to do. My predetermined time limit is solely gauged at the point I get bored and or dis-interested. I [...]

Just a Post

June 30th, 2008 I actually do not have a whole lot to say today. It is my brother’s birthday. I rarely get to see him. I hope his day his great. He is a success, he deserves it.

Full Circle

June 26th, 2008 It is now approximately forty-eight hours since I invited a man, with a past, to an interview. Outside of a few words of encouragement, I have been left to myself and my process. This is one of those times in which I wish I had a few more people in my life that [...]

An Invitation to a Sexual Predator

I have never thought longer or harder about a piece of writing than the one that I present to you today. If you are a reader of my blog, you are familiar with a story called The Roy’s which details my life from high school right up until my late twenties. Yesterday, I found something [...]

Byrne-ing down the house.

Once again, I am elated to report yet another weekend of dashed expectations. I think I am going to change the name of this blog to The Search for Shit for that is exactly what I have been finding lately. I know, it must be frustrating to listen to. Whenever I choose to write something [...]

Plain is my favorite flavor.

June 19th, 2008 I’ve been having a bit of writers block lately. Perhaps, I am simply uninspired. The jury is still out on the whole issue, and may be deadlocked for awhile. My life feels very plain today. The task of trying to come up with a story to trump the last story to trump that other story has [...]
