Little bird You look all right I’m sure it’s [...]

MAY  

Let me look at those eyes. I want to know how you are. —Rainer W. Fassbinder

Look. May has come in. It’s strewn those blue eyes all over the harbor. Come, I haven’t had word of you in ages. You’re constantly terrified, Like the kittens we drowned when we were little. Come and [...]

It’s finished …

… another Utah cyclocross season in the bag, over and done.

And while I didn’t race much this year; I think I only did two of the ten races, I had a fabulous season (I’ve been using that word way too much lately), primarily because of the people I’ve met and befriended this year, and [...]

Sittin’ in the Airport …

So I get to the aiport about 12:30 to catch my 2:30 flight to Columbus (changing planes at O’Hare), only to find out that American Airlines is having massive delays with flights coming in and out of Chicago (hmmm … why am I not surprised); and that there’s no way I’ll make my connecting flight.

Drunken blogging; good idea or bad?

Points in favor:

Lowered inhibitions from alcohol intoxication mean you might actually post how you feel.

Points against:

Lowered inhibitions from alcohol intoxication mean you might actually post how you feel.

Fortunately, I am drunk enough that I don’t have to actually think about it … I’m not sure I could actually put together a [...]

The Laws of Attraction

Seems like a lot of my friends are wondering if it’s possible for men and women to be friends without the ugly spectre of sex rearing its head.

Here’s my take on the issue, from a guy’s perspective … it is possible to maintain a simple friendship with a woman without the relationship being sexual. [...]

Too often …

… I find myself wondering which of my friendships are real, and which are just friendships of convenience.

I know I’m not the easiest person in the world to actually befriend, as I can be moody and distant, but one thing I don’t believe I ever do (at least, not that I’m aware of) is [...]

So now it’s sinking in …

… just how very much alone I am right now. And I don’t like it … I don’t like it at all.

It is so hard to open yourself up and put yourself out there; and when it doesn’t work, it’s so difficult to continue to do so, because of the fear of getting hurt [...]

It’s officially official

Got the following email from K. yesterday:

Subject: Proof the universe is sentient

It has a sense of irony.

2/13/07. Maybe we should have avoided the 13th? Let’s blame it on my mother not paying the deposit so we had to move it from 10/6 to 10/13.

I’m thankful that it wasn’t 2/14/07. That would [...]

Hallmark Holidays

Can I tell you how much I hate Hallmark Holidays? Holidays which exist for really no other reason than to sell greeting cards?

I’ve always felt that I shouldn’t need a special day of the year to express to someone how much I care about them … I should be able to do this each [...]
