As I had mentioned before, I’ve been working nights regularly lately. I typically get home after 3am, tired, sore, and generally unhappy with my current situation. I’ve had the last 10 hours or so to think about how much I don’t like where I am, what I’m doing, how alone I am, etc., [...]

Step One: Get excited about the holidays, fondly reminiscing about the innocent joy of childhood Christmas’. Buy into all the pagentry with only a hint of irony. Post phonecam pic of shopping mall tree and first snowflake.
Step Two: Get violently sick of the endless barrage of crappy popstar covers of Christmas carols and [...]

“Where do you find this stuff?!”
I get that question a lot.
My standard answer?

OK, fine, I admit it. I’m sick of bartending. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone… I had my fill months ago. Managing at the Fields (wow, is that place swirling the bowl) was different. I was MANAGING, not bartending. I poured drinks when it was needed. I had [...]

Last night I wrote about my feelings.
Thinking, like one does late at night, that I don’t care what the world thinks, that I’m going to start writing what I want, saying what I want.
Last night was a lot of sadness and anger. Directed at people I care very much about.
This morning I chickened out.

“Write every day.”
That’s the first tip for blogging by this guy. Appearantly he knows something about writing. Oh well, sounds like good advice. And it’s not like I’ve been that productive lately, so anything that gets me working is a good thing.
One more question, does today count as today, even though it’s [...]
