1. Congratulations to the people of Egypt!!! Goal achieved without direct Western assistance.

2. Some days, I'd rather abandon all responsibilities & just cool with Chewy. Since childhood has passed & retirement is a ways off, I'll have to table that idea.

3. Valentine's Day is here & I'm ok with not having one. I could wax poetically about how much of a bullsh!t holiday it is, about how the commercialization of eros has undermined the American family structure, etc...I won't. I'm a man & even though its a wack day in principle, it drove me nuts for years knowing I didn't have one & could look forward to receiving nada. I've moved on, I believe.

4. It bears repeating: it's not what you say, it's how (word choice) you say it.

5. I'm reading Zissner's On Writing Well & learning quite a bit about the craft.

6. ballonboyd.tumblr.com <--give it go why don't cha!

7. Mike: $5 million sounds like a decent amount to me.
Me: I'd spent $15 million in my head when I was 14.
Mike: Damn, you're right. It isn't much.

8. Listening to a young Irishman sing a native jig is quite entertaining. Especially when they're a few drinks down.

9. Can we get much higher?!

10. The Allure of the game keeps calling my name.

Variations of Self

1. You save a drowning person via safety doughnut. Why? Because their fear of death will kill you & the help your personal involvement could offer. 2. Just because it's label fiction, doesn't negate the real context that it was derived from. 3. Sometimes the best advice is none. 4. Lineage is relevant primarily when personal identity has been built from it, unless we're speaking of livestock. 5. All of the hardworkers are dead. The living only know to cheat the house - Unknown Community Elder

1. I really wish I would have learned to enjoy the moment for what is a lot earlier on. I would've saved myself much confusion & disappointment. 2. To be critical or to be creative, that is the question. 3. In the event someone ventures to ask you what their take home message should be from a given exchange, respect their willingness to acknowledge the limits of their understanding & give them the blasted message. It doesn't matter how simple it is, just relay the message. 4. Is there such a thing as too much pop Chinese cuisine? The answer is yes, yes there is such a thing. 5. Every time I think to text you, I immediately remember that I don't care if I ever hear from you. I'd delete your number but I love the surprise of feeling that every time it happens!! 6. Touareg + Gun Powder= Yess!!! 7. Hand crafted items always rank higher in my book than mass produced goods. I suppose it's the old world charm that captures my attention, knowing ...

1. Hiking = my (re)new addiction 2. Its always interesting to be reminded of where you stand in someones life. I once believed that those whom I saw the most would hold me in closer regard than those I only see occasionally. I was wrong (yep!) and its never felt soo good to know the other side. 3. At some point in childhood we begin to remember days as seperate entities, Monday being different from Tuesday etc. I think its special when children don't recall the last day they saw but rather the emotion they remember you by. 4. Longer than (my) average hair is driving me nuts but I refuse to cut it.....yet 5.  Pity parties are worthless, costly, & over rated. Get over, you could be not living and then your worries would be reduced to the care of your soul... 6. I told you'd I'd call when something of merit occured.  7. I'm looking for a more p.c. replacement for odd man out. Any suggestions?? 8. Being told you possess untapped potential and actually tapping said poten...
