About Me

I work all night and drink all day. When you want a 9am drinking companion, you can call me. I write and you can read my writing at RJRuland.com. I love full moons and colorful skies. I prefer chaos to monotony. I am a Thelemite and a Cyrenaic hedonist.

My Interests

Going to concerts. Drinking. Both of these at the same time as often as possible.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody from anywhere. My TOP FRIEND list here is alphabetical and highlights the bands that I have just seen or that I am planning to see, so that you can check them out. My real #1 FRIEND knows who she is ;)

Music:

My favorite band is the 1974 lineup of King Crimson.One of the few things that makes me happy is to see live music.

Movies:

Watching a movie bores me 99 percent of the time.

Television:

Even when the television shows me something real, it's at the wrong angle.

Books:

I read to learn new things

Heroes:

We can all be heroes

Long Haired Liability

I almost shaved all of the hair off of my head. Gray hairs are sprouting. The bald spot in the back seems to be winning. Someone I love was urging me to be clean cut so that our friendship would not b...

Wheel-less

My son got his first taste of what our summer will be like without wheels in the suburbs. Everything that needs to be done outside of our home takes ten times longer than it would with a car. Our miss...

It is going to be a crazy summer

My vision was blurry, not from alcohol but from sleep deprivation. Why was I pushing myself to the edge of exhaustion? I am trying to be SUPER DAD. My son started his summer vacation last Friday and I...
