Browbeaten by big monsters and made out to be a paint-by-numbers cutout of who you are, this life’s more dimensional than three-dimensional, so why do those who you rely on to assist you in something like recovering from an accident insist on keeping you only two-dimensional to do so? I am not numbers on a [...]

It took the cable company a week to get someone in to come and install my new digital land phone line. March 31 between 8 am and 5 pm was my appointment. And so today as I got out of bed I made sure to take what maybe the fastest shower in history, [...]

Roy worries about me. To be honest, that worry is returned, but in this case he has substantive journalism to back it up, so he wins. As many of you are aware, actor Heath Ledger died not long ago from an overdose. Of course, that word can be misconstrued, and following his death, especially given his [...]

It’s snowing heavily. We pulled into town about an hour ago and I’m just holed up in my hotel room. I didn’t get to sleep until 6:30 in the morning, but still don’t feel much like sleeping. Don’t get me wrong, I’m tired as hell, and my body feels like rubber, but it’s just not [...]

A long time ago, when sleep was something that didn’t favor me with its company all that often, I commonly turned to alternatives in an attempt to defeat insomnia. My main reason for doing so was that if I went days without sleep (or woke up too early) I tended to become quite nauseous. My [...]

Frozen in time. That’s where I’ve been. Frozen in photographs locked in my head, filed away for just such delusional occasions as this. We moved hotels the day before yesterday - I didn’t even notice. I watched four films, or parts of them anyway, but couldn’t tell you what they were. But I do remember [...]

Plenty of conversations today. Plenty of wondering what we all do now. Time’s stood still in a way, but the years are there to prove otherwise. We’re different, subdued, but okay with it. Waiting on some innocent teenage love to save us, too old to believe it’s still possible, too stubborn to abandon the hope [...]

There is refuge in truth. We don’t need a soothsayer, prophet, or saint to make that clear- time and experience will make that clear to everyone. Yet there is also struggle with truth, in my case a struggle with those who deceive and manipulate my situation such that I’m resigned to defending my right to [...]

I’ve written about it in the past, but it just popped into my head, so I’m writing about it again. There’s something very bizarre about rehearsing for an acoustic tour. When you rehearse with a band, you have a schedule. You show up, you spend however long running material, and then you leave. But when [...]

People talk about dreams all the time. When it comes to dreams there are two types – those that we view as attainable through our own hard work and those that we just ‘wish’ would happen. This isn’t an entry about the first type, as anyone who puts their mind to something, if they have [...]
