life worth living
I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of Continue Reading
Struck Match
I wrote this in a long post a couple years ago, but I really like it still, so it bears repeating: Looking back, every person I consider important — every relationship, male or female, that means something to me — initially flared up in my life like a struck match.
Wedding
They already posted the photo to Facebook, so I guess it’s safe to share… Congratulations to Jesse and Tara on their marriage. It was a beautiful day, for an wonderful couple.
Goth
I posted this back in April, to a private thing. At the time, I didn’t want to stir up any real trouble. But I think everyone has sorted themselves out a bit more by now. By way of editor’s notes, Chiaroscuro was a “goth/industrial” club in DC and Spellbound, in Continue Reading

…these moments…

Housewarming
Wonderful night out with friends… well… most of the second half of last week. Thursday was the Die Antwoord concert I’d been waiting for. Friday I got out of the house as needed, and ended up bar hopping on H Street with friends and catching a Burlesque Show at the Continue Reading
Freaks in my Life
I grew up in Central NY. Very rural. Think pig farms, corn fields, and cow barns. Pre internet days; so if it wasn’t in the library and your friends didn’t know about it, then it didn’t exist. A fairly conservative upbringing. All within reason of course. My parents were either Continue Reading
