If It Feels Good Do It

I have a goal of writing 500 words per day in my memoir, which spans from 2004 – 2008.
On some days, I write more than 500 words with ease. Usually it’s because the section of life that I’m covering is painful, funny or otherwise noteworthy. But of course there are vast sections of life in [...]

Check out this cool letter I received from AEON yesterday.

Cool, huh? My favorite sentence is the middle one that begins, “Unfortunately, we regret to…”
Just kidding, that is not my favorite sentence.
I’m not a big fan of any sentence that begins with “unfortunately” and “regret to.” I am also not a smart man. I am [...]

Every so often, something happens that makes me say nothing. Or wait, it makes me say something. It makes me say, “Who the fuck cares?” But politicians and the media will go into a frenzy over it.
In 2004 this thing was Janet Jackson’s nipple popping out during the Superbowl halftime show. It was a non-event. [...]

If anyone’s life is too real, please visit the men’s San Mateo Gold’s Gym locker room. It will put the sur back into it.
Recently heard conversation (between two middle aged muscle bound men that did not smell good):
“I got this cat that’s half wild. He’s fuckin’ driving me nuts.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah. So I got an idea. [...]

A) This is not funny.
or
B) This is funny, but not for any intelligent reason.

Somehow I rolled off a cliff.
There is a surreal scene in Trainspotting where someone who overdoses on heroin ends up lowered into the carpet.
And that’s where I ended up too. Off a cliff and into the carpet. But I didn’t get there by overdosing on a drug. Actually I didn’t know how I got there. [...]

Ross got me one of those sweet Flip Video cameras for my birthday.
I figured the best way to thank the man was to sneak into his room late at night and freak him out with my skeleton mask. Unfortunately, he wasn’t asleep.

One thing the camera does quite well is film in low light.

After I returned to my hotel room I changed out of my suit.
Then I opened the envelope the interviewer had given me. The day had been exhausting and I found myself confused and ambivalent about the result. Regardless, I was invited to a follow up interview at 10 a.m. the next day.
Then I had [...]

I was actually more nervous about visiting my Dad than attending my interview.
I hadn’t seen my Dad in over four years. I hadn’t had any form of communication with him for more than one. I wasn’t even sure if he still lived in Southern California. I would have to call him after my interview to [...]
