A field of roses

Just a little something I noticed one night.

The origin of the mafia

I recently received this line in an email from a friend:
> I shouldn’t even be writing now, but I’m frustrated by clients.
And that made me realize something.
Everyone is frustrated by clients. Clients are the bane of the business world because they’re such a bunch of annoying selfish bastard always taking and trying to screw you […]

The poet

Today is Thursday and every Thursday at Epic Cafe here on 4th Ave in Tucson they have an open mic night. Musicans, poets, my actor friend Dave, all show up to try to connect a little with the world.
I come here because they have wireless access and they have coffee and I stay for the […]

Strange days

It’s so freaking weird being in this place that I am now with Natalie, the mutual recrimination, the hateful tone, the miserable glares, the audible jibes, and then remembering times only a year or two ago. Which, in the grand scheme of things isn’t very long. Happy giddy moments. Very odd.

Singing and dancing in the rain

Aside from being a really fun movie, singing and dancing in the rain is fun to do when you’re at work.

There is a special kind of joy when you’re acting like a five year old at work and your boots are literally filled with water.
Doobie do doo doobie doobie do doo…just singin’…and dancin’ in the […]

The slide show beep in my head

Fuck.
Tonight I was at a party celebrating an engagement. That happy couple coupling ever further is a universal good. I am a big fan of both of them and know they’ll be well and good lives together.
Fuck.
The problem is that I know this happy couple through Natalie and John mentioned earlier on this site. (She’s […]
