Recently, somebody told me that between the ages of 23-25, I would experience more of my emotionally depressed learning experiences.  Although the entire Generation X and any liberal arts college graduate in this economy might agree, I would like to believe that any portion of your life could be depressing.
Yesterday, I read (most of) “Who [...]

Word Aneurysm

Over the last few weeks, I’ve had about a million and one blog post ideas…but then I didn’t write any of them.
This is also due to the fact that several of my ideas were rather boring.
But here are some “highlights”:
1. McDonald’s: Lately, my lunch has taken a turn to revolve around McDonald’s…mainly because I keep [...]

Please Don’t Eat The Daisies*

This post was going to be a very deep, insightful piece on life and living, perhaps even revealing the meaning of life to those with sunshine and rainbows in their heart and a sparkle in their eye.  Instead Wikipedia has turned my attention to far more significant things–Doris Day.
I’ve never had the pleasure of Doris [...]

Keeping Up Appearances

I don’t know if it was because of some genetic code that prevents me from understanding complementary colors or because I pride myself on efficiency rather than delicacy, but I’ve lately started to think more on the appearance of things and how appearances affect perceptions.  (Let’s be honest–I have never really thought much about this [...]

Create Your Own Title, Folks

After realizing I’m the only resident in my apartment complex under 65-years old, I’ve begun to think about moving elsewhere.  In fact, I was supposed to meet with a realtor today to look at some trendy rentals in Lawrence had the Spring gods not lost in their effort to put winter in its place (damn that [...]

All in a day’s work

Today, I:

Tried on $100 perfume at a department store, but forgot to remember the name.  (It smelled like alcohol)
Bought handmade bath salts with fragrance names like “Sex Bomb” and “Honey, I Washed the Kids.”
Had my cable turned off.
Claimed yellow as my color.
Argued with a man all the reasons he needed to get an education (in [...]

Liberal Arts Leftovers (self-titled)

Sitting in my underwear in my apartment while typing a blog post, I am reminded of the fact that there are probably twenty to thirty other liberal arts leftovers with some sort of humanities degree sitting in front of their own computer reading or writing a blog entry also.  Actually, probably more than that with [...]

Can I buy a clue, please?

After a discussion I had last night, along with many discussions with other friends on similar topics, I’ve discovered most 20-somethings don’t have a clue.  For that matter, neither do most older adults, but they’ve learned to perfect their quoting of the newspaper to make it sound like they know what they’re talking about.
Us, 20-somethings [...]

The Thought Process

“Because I could not stop for Death–
he kindly stopped for me–
The Carriage held but just Ourselves–
and Imortality.”
-Emily Dickinson
 
 
The other day, I got on the highway driving to work, only to find myself driving directly behind a hearse.  18 minutes of being directly behind death’s driver!
Step 1: At first, I felt rather uncomfortable staring at [...]

Life Update

In order to put the pressure on, I currently have four pages* completed for my first novel.  Whoa, really?! Four pages?!  I’m a pretty big deal.  The goal is to have ten pages minimum by the end of tomorrow.  And from there, I will be 200-some pages from being able to call myself a novelist.  [...]
