You ain't seen nothing 'til you hit rock bottom.

About Me

I'm a loser, baby. So why don't you kill me?I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Writing, reading, drawing, learning, eating, cavorting, tasting, trying, grilling, kicking, running, walking, strolling...I really enjoy writing. I haven't felt very motivated to write anything recently, but hopefully the bug will kick in again this spring.Despite how much I like reading, I only read two novels last year. I'm hoping to read more than that this year, but we'll see how things turn out.I also like drawing, and I hope to put some of my, er, artwork on display sometime, if I draw any comics that I feel good about.

Not Another GaySpace Blog

While perusing blogs during my ever-busy nights at work, I've noticed something.  A lot of gay men's blogs seem to center around one thing:  cock.  Most notably, a lack of it, or, rathe...

Just a Player in a Masquerade

I went to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday. It was very inspiring to see all of the wicked machinations of the human spirit in the Dungeon Museum. Mankind is just so lovely! I mean, I don't eve...

I hit Rock Bottom...

...and I liked it! If you're ever in the downtown San Diego area, I'd highly recommend eating and drinking at Rock Bottom Brewery. Great atmosphere, great food, and, of course, great beer!

Sushi Itto is Sushi Yucko

The wasabi felt like old glue, and the sushi tasted like it was at least a month or two old. When they said the sushi was "specially prepared," I should have figured it meant "thawed." Also, I jus...

The People of San Diego are Crazy

The people here are all insane. I'm afraid to be out past 6pm. I swear everybody locks their stores up at that time and covers them with bars. There was an obnoxious girl on the train last nigh...
