So I’m watching T.V. last night, and what do I find on the Discovery channel but a show about body piercing. Now, I’ve seen my share of piercings, and don’t really have a problem with them for the most part (yeah, I think some of them look really bad, and quite possibly turn the whole “self expression” thing to a level of “just look at me, damnit!”, but that’s another issue…

Think about death often? Not romaticized death, the T.V. and film death that always seems to have some kind of greater moral implication. I mean actual death. Not just nameless death either. The death of someone close. Someone you know. I don’t. At least, not in an un-romantic way. I think about grand deaths quite often. Like, what if I were to die in a public shooting, trying my best…

In a manner much befitting of Sundry, I’ve spent most of this weekend watching movies. My girlfriend is out of town, so I pretty much have free reign to just pick and choose as I will. And that’s exactly what I did, walking through blockbuster, half-drunk. Hmmm… Someone like you, that sounds like it might work, who can resist Ashley Judd in skimpy underwear doing a cheerleading routine. Half Baked, that’ll work, sounds good…

Something happened today that I didn’t expect. I was notified of my social security benefits. It came in a very official looking envelope, and my first thought was what the hell could I be getting from social security services? I thought maybe it was some kind of unemployment information or something, but no, it really was about social security benefits. It was chock full of great things like “What social security…

You know what I hate? I hate it when you meet up with someone you haven’t seen in a long time, especially if you once spent a lot of time or had a lot of fun with that person, and they act all “oh it’s so good to see you I still talk about you all the time what are you up to we should get together sometime soon and…

So I went and saw Queen of the Damned yesterday. It was not the high point of my weekend. Not that I had expected it to be, mind you, in fact if anything, it was slightly better than I’d expected, and if you’re a goth then this movie will be the best thing you will see all year. It’s biggest flaw is that it’s just plain boring. Really, really boring. I say this…

I have so many things to do, and I’m not doing a damn one of them. I think the laziness/I-just-want-to-sit-on-my-ass bug that seems to be prevalent in my circle is rubbing off on me. The one I should be working on most is the one I’m looking forward to the least. It’s a book, with illustrations, that I’m supposed to be writing for a friend’s son. It was my girlfriend’s idea,…
