About Me

.. ..

whitest kids u' kno

Being away from Georgia is like being the first fish to fling itself out of the primordial sea onto dry land. You can live for a while, but it's not exactly comfortable.

In high school I tried to be a skinhead, but I wasn't cool enough. In college I tried to be a goth, but I wasn't cool enough. Now I am happily married with a full-time job and a cat. My biggest concern at this point is fighting the nagging suspicion that my cat doesn't think I'm cool enough.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Living: Stephen King, Joss Whedon, George R. R. Martin, Trent Reznor, Christina Ricci, Brad Wardell, George W. Bush.
Dead: Alexander Hamilton, St. Paul, any Roman Emperor.
Undead: Jesus.

My Blog

Proof of life in 2009.

My word, Mark hasn't posted a blog on MySpace in a looong time.  Wonder what's up.  Maybe it's because he got an Xbox for Christmas.  Or perhaps it's because his computer seems to have lost its abilit...

Post election blog. Most of you should probably skip it.

I am sad.  I knew I would be, and I prepared as best I could, but it still got to me.  I am keeping this short, because I don't have the patience for going into details, because that will ju...

Digging through the memory box.

Today was pretty decent.  Jessica and I went to the Bach Lunch in downtown Lafayette, which had nothing at all to do with Bach and everything to do with lunch.  The band was your standard Ca...

News at 11:45.

I just joined Facebook.  For no good reason.  Don't hate me, Tom.  I blame Lupe, who has less than 24 hours to exist.  If you have no idea who that is, read this.  Jessica wil...

More for me than for you, but go ahead...

It's midnight, and I am at a loss.  For forty hours a week I fantasize about all that I will do when I am not working, and then on my days off I am lost.  I cannot imagine that this is healt...

So, McCain-Palin...

I've spent the last fifteen minutes or so trying to put my thoughts on Sarah Palin in order, and everything I've written was rambling crap.  So I'll just say what I said out loud when I read the ...

The city don’t know that the city is getting.

I just got home from seeing The Dark Knight for the first time.Wow.Oh yeah, and Gary Glitter is out of jail.  CNN says he was headed for Bangkok (oriental setting).  10 to 1 says I know what...

June

I was born on June 19, so June has always had some significance to me.  Over time this has lessened, but I admit that I still think of pretty much the whole month as the time when I should get st...

Cloudkill (or Acid Fog)

So life in Louisiana goes on.  This morning a train car full of hydrochloric acid derailed, hit an overpass support, and began leaking acid vapor.  There has been a mandatory evacuation for ...

It only gets hot when you stop moving.

While I was out walking today I decided to post a blog about the beauty all around me.  It was going to be all grand and poetic, going on about nature and how going just a few hundred yards gets ...
