So it’s now been (give or take a week or two) 90 days since I was diagnosed as diabetic. After ignoring symptoms for years, I figured it was a good time to get checked out, and it turned out to be a good decision. Physically, I feel quite a bit better. I’m not tired all [...]
So…
So I had another weird dream last night/this morning. From the parts I remember, I was supposed to go and visit my friend Patrick, but I stopped near his house to get something. Next thing I know, I’m talking to Alec Baldwin and Alec is telling me that he and Patrick are lovers and they [...]
Back In The Apple…
For just about an hour, I’m a New Yorker again. As I type this, I’m sitting at my gate in the JetBlue terminal at good ol’ Kennedy Airport, waiting for the connecting flight from D.C. that’s gonna take me back home to Boston. Once I get in, I’m gonna take a breath, kiss the cat, [...]
Remembering Mr. H.
Today marks 16 years since my grandfather passed away. I’m 32 now, so he’s been gone for literally half my life. For most folks, a grandparent passing away is a sad occasion. However, my grandfather was the first (and for a number of years, the only) father figure I’d ever known. Not too many days [...]
God’s Landscaping and The Devil’s Food
So, me and C.J. (and his friend Richard) took a three hour drive today through the Virginia countryside. Being a city kid, it’s not very often you get to see so much green and brown. Mountains, tons upon tons of land, it was beautiful to look at. And the drive was so relaxing that it [...]
Connections and Obstructions
I’ve been reading Mike Doughty’s blog a lot lately (www.mikedoughty.com). His blog entries are always interesting, even when he’s writing about things that I know absolutely nothing about. He jumps to 4 or 5 topics in one entry while making everything seem cohesive and also managing to make you read more. I want to be [...]
Filling in the Gap
Those of you that know me in person are aware that my teeth aren’t in the best possible shape. While much of my overall dental health can be improved, the most noticeable thing is the gap between my two front teeth. I’m very self-conscious and defensive about it. Particularly since it wasn’t always there.
There are [...]
Simmering Down
So, my vacation officially starts tomorrow. I’m going down to D.C. for pretty much the whole week, where I’ll be hanging out with my friend George (also the owner of Music Help Web) and his family. I’ll get some work done, but hopefully I’ll also be able to relax, clear my head, and be able [...]
A Deer in the Headlights
One thing I notice I’ve been doing lately is this…
I start to write a blog entry. Get a couple of paragraphs in…and I stop.
I start writing a review. Get a couple of paragraphs in…and I stop.
It’s like I’m good at beginning something, not so good at finishing it. And I’m not sure whether there’s some [...]
My Weird Imagination
I’ve had more than my share of strange/vivid dreams over the years. I’ve noticed that the strangest dreams I have tend to take place when I nap during the day as opposed to when I sleep at night. This is the one I had this afternoon-I’m trying to remember as much of it as I [...]
