Hello, I lost the internet today. I'm not exactly devastated by the loss, but it's cramped my style, at least as far as blogging goes. So, I'm going to apologize in advance for what's going to be a tedious entry. But, God as my witness, I hate writing on my phone. Texting, blogging, snapping: whatever … Continue reading disconnected

Across the Pond
Hello, I'll be leaving the country soon and it will be the first time that I've done so since I've gotten here. I'm excited about it, but I don't think I've really processed it yet. And to be clear, we're going to London, so this is not as out there as we could possibly go. … Continue reading Across the Pond
Writing On Writing About Writing for a Writer
Hello Again, I've been going back and forth on what I want this blog to be and that's just given me plenty of great excuses to not write anything. And, if there's anything I excel at, it's creating excuses. In an attempt to make sure that I write something, anything, in this space, I'm freeing … Continue reading Writing On Writing About Writing for a Writer
Welcome Back
Hello, It has been a long time, but I think it's time to come back. Since I stopped writing here, I have been writing. I have, in fact, never stopped, but I needed to stop writing here. Part of it was that I just don't know how to tackle this format without getting very angry. … Continue reading Welcome Back
We Can Rebuild Him
Let's see if I remember how to do this... Over the last year or so I've been slowly drifting further and further away from where I want to be and it's only recently that I've made some very deliberate strides back to where I want to be. I started small. I've been going through this … Continue reading We Can Rebuild Him
Scenery
Yesterday we went outside of the city, something we rarely do and something we have not done in a long time. Sometimes, it's hard to remember how beautiful New England can be, especially when it's just starting to turn to Fall. We drove down two lane roads that were closely hemmed in on both sides … Continue reading Scenery
Pushing Back the Boundaries
Lately, it's been important for me to push my boundaries more and more; specifically with regard to things that give me the jibblies. I'm not talking about scary movies and horror comics; I'm talking about social anxieties and the fact that I would cheerfully be a shut-in if I let myself. A long time ago, … Continue reading Pushing Back the Boundaries
Boston Revisited
A friend of mine is visiting for a few days and it's reintroducing me to the city I live in. It's too easy to forget those places you see everyday or those places you used to go to; but once you show a newcomer those things that caused you to fall in love with your … Continue reading Boston Revisited
Subcultures in the Mist
As I've mentioned before in posts that I don't feel like digging up, I've been getting involved in a new hobby. I'll spare you the details about what this hobby entails, as I have a whole other blog for that, but I've thrown myself completely into the subculture that surrounds this hobby and it's fascinating. … Continue reading Subcultures in the Mist
Lock Down
Last night, around 1am, I heard a sound. It sounded like a loud bang and, given recent events, I paid attention to it. But then it was quiet and I started to fall back asleep. And then the second explosion. And then I noticed the sirens and more sirens and what sounded like gunfire. While … Continue reading Lock Down
