  • Gridlock Primaries

    0207080559blog I was listening to the post-Super Tuesday analysis on CNN on my ride home from school yesterday, and the big buzz was about how exciting this is to not have the democratic and republican nominees selected (or anywhere close) after nearly half the nation had their say. Most pundits are talking rather excitedly about…

    0206082103blog to JT’s One Man Band Let’s get a little intimate here, shall we? I don’t mean that other kind of intimate. I’m talking about the honesty, the candid words, the pull-up-a-chair-and-let’s-chat kind of intimate. I’m there now. That place. That zone. That wonderful core within me that makes it so easy to just let…

  • I don’t know why this year feels so different, but I have been absolutely obsessed with the eleven days that await me, officially at 2:10 p.m. on Friday, December 21, when school ends. I think getting my Jeep has done a lot for me in enjoying time outside of my profession. It might also be…

    I haven’t done one of these in a while. Then again, I haven’t done much writing at all in a while. I was telling my friend Steve the other day that this didn’t bother me, though. And it doesn’t. The fact that it doesn’t bother me bothers me. And that’s why I’m writing. So…Onward. What…

    greetings, all: just a brief note letting you know I am w/out internet at home these days (my lovely neighbors with wireless moved; can you believe it? All the nerve…..). But all that’s changing soon. . . . . Oh–I get my life back after Saturday, too. Homecoming, yearbook launches–all of it ends Saturday. Can’t…

    good things, abound. First, Carl V and I (and our blogs) were quoted in today’s edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer about our memorials to JennSee. You can read the article here. I have much more to write about this in the days to come. (you know, all that deep philosophic stuff that I like to…

    Probably not a bad idea to uncut today. Random thoughts: 1. Before I had the dream of somebody posting on my blog: “Your posts have hit rock bottom; your blog sucks,” I had a (BAD, rus!) snoball (bubble gum flavor, if it matters), and then I passed out. There’s no other way to describe it.…

    today is 17 July 2007, 0543 It is a good morning. I may be able to abandon the uncuts soon, as I feel the veil lifting a bit. In the past, when I’ve gone this long without tending to my writing, it’s taken me a good week to get back into the groove and get…

    It is now 2207. Now, THAT was a good ride. I put in the first set of the 4/30/77 show at the Palladium, and up they go just like that with a more-than-memorable performance of Music Never Stopped. Beautiful stuff. Then it is on to Bertha, then It’s All Over Now, and I ended my…

    it is now 2104. No music plays, but the sounds of the fans swirl on all around me. They create a hum of noise that, for some reason, makes this heat just a little more bearable (as if it were ever bearable to begin with). The seven-day forecast looks like some kind of sick cut-and-paste…
