Native Son
It has been said that Richard Wright’s writing is like a sledgehammer. If Native Son is a fair representation of the rest of his work, then I’d have to agree. It’s precise, simple, and sends a clear message that is solid, heavy, and hits hard, all with a lack of sentimentality. This is not only [...]
Candlelight And Strangers

Will Probably Never Be Found Out
When I woke up this morning the air inside my bedroom, outside of the warm cocoon of my covers, was cold and brisk. It was snowing outside and I had left my window open a few inches throughout the night. Now it’s snowing like crazy so I have decided not to go into the mountains [...]

Bought, Processed Or Sold
So I don’t believe I am in as bad of shape as I have expected. Oh no, I’m not talking about my health. No, just stuff in general. Or wait maybe I am. The stock market has been killing me the last two days. I’m thinking about starting an investment blog. In order to better [...]

Two Types Of Cheese
My brother lent me the movie 28 Days Later. I it watched last night and thought it was pretty good. It definitely belongs to the horror/zombie genre but I didn’t figure that out till about half way through. I was thinking it was going to be more of an apocalyptic/morality flick. I did enjoy it [...]

Stay Away From Here
I’m thinking this bean and green chilli burrito combined with this large spicy V8 might be a dangerous combination but I’m going for it anyway.
Joe Reality
I’ve been spending a lot of time on the computer the last two days. I’m finally getting near a completion on my redesign and work has had me sitting in front of this piece of crap quite a bit too. In the mean time I’ve been watching a fair bit of reality TV. I watched [...]

Asleep With The Light On
I’ve mostly just been trying to keep myself busy. Working late, running a few errands, working on this site. Blah, blah, blah. I just don’t want to go back to my apartment every night with nothing to do. I don’t want to drink cause it makes me sad. I should clean but I hate it. [...]
