About Me

What's there to say? I don't consider myself anything other than a work in progress... I suppose I get a little closer to who and what I want to be every year. Sometimes progress is slow. I'm usually a late bloomer, though... and despite what some people will tell you, I'm pretty optimistic. So put those together, and I believe that the best is yet to come.

Mocha’s cures for moodiness

Music and Capoeira.  These are the two most enjoyable things in my life (in that order, too--music first, then capoeira).  After work I listened to Radiohead's new album In Rainbows while dr...

Solipsism (Or, my least likable trait)

I had an experience last night that, while not exactly being enlightening, was definitely illuminating. I was trying to listen to a friend, but in some ways, I wasn't doing it well. I wonder about thi...

The circle begins to close

Early this month I began mentally preparing myself to leave town for Austin in early March... but as they say, "Man plans and God laughs."  I just got word this morning that my store is closing b...

Effort

I'm drained. I'm sure this is partly due to having been sick for the last week and a half (I don't know what this bug is, but it's an evil little bastard), but it's also due to putting effort in the a...

Sydney, Australia

I just got back from Sydney this morning.  I left at 11:30 AM on the 8th, and got back at 6 AM on the 8th... which is weird.  Damn International Date Line.  I was hoping I'd wake up bac...
