  • As I finished up in the bathroom the other day, it dawned on me.  What is prayer to me?  As a young boy, I remember eagerly praying for a new bicycle, or whatever.  I also remember sitting in a quiet room for long periods of time desperately hoping for God to speak to me.  Naturally,…

  • It’s Friday evening.  I’m heading west down I-80 in a minivan with the Somer family sans Tara.  The explanation for such a situation is probably fairly obvious.  The family and I are headed out to Park City for vacation/visiting Tara.  More of a vacation for them and job searching for me.  It is at some…

  • I have completed my goal of running a half marathon.  Tara and I ran together and finished at the exact same time: 1 hr 53 min.  That’s 8:41 a mile.  I remember when I couldn’t even run one mile that fast.   I know I’m bragging, but that was a lot of hard work, so…

  • I’ve been thinking about the various posting styles of the xangas I typically read.  I’d say mine definitely fall more on the narative, this-is-what-I-did-yesterday, sort of style.  I have also analyzed a few others: Amanda:  Typically a complaint is raised followed by a rant about such.   A solution is then usually presented and is usually…

  • It was a pretty good weekend–sans the cold I came down with last thursday.  Tara came back for her spring break on friday.  We went out for a few drinks that evening.  Pretty low key, pretty fun.  Saturday I attempted to run with the cold with Tara, and although I made it the 5 or…

  • So I just now noticed that Xanga tells you how many times a post has been viewed.  For instance, the poem in my previous post was view 16 times.  2 comments.  What a bunch of dicks.  Lol, I’m kidding, but I am intrigued.  I can count the subscriptions I actively read on one hand.  This…

  • Chicago Slums   The sun falls out of sight leaving in its wake a lingering red which paints February trees and rotting 20’s era bungalows against the horizon. Muffled fighting and fucking creep out poorly sealed windows skirting amongst frozen swimming pools and littered lawns before finally being overcome by 747’s flying low overhead in…
