So the whole cleanse thing got started a little later than expected but, as of tomorrow, it will be the longest I've gone without alcohol or caffeine since High School (except for one time when I was REALLY sick). I have to say, it has been interesting. I am also exercising daily and meditating again. I always stay pretty fit but my practice is very...

AND, while it's always been my friend, it's also been my tormentor:

music always gets me through! from about age 12 on... it's been my friend. so now, who's carrying the bags?

Thanks everybody

starting a 6-8 week cleanse/liver flush tomorrow. the first two weeks will be a tapering period of less booze (only on weekends), less caffeine (green tea instead of espresso), ditching processed carbs (mostly), plenty of exercise and a shitload of herbs.

definitely been beating the shit out of my body for awhile. if all goes well, maybe you'll get a "after" pic or two...

ok; so; yeah; REALY?; yes! got it.....

kinda between on-line relationships right now. it surprises me how much i miss them. every one i have known has been awesome (as opposed to IRL). so i guess it's time to open up to the universe and accept what comes...

a bit of new ink, a TON of new heartache! not sure when/if life gets easier but I've read that people in there 60's+ are at least as happy if not happier than they were in their 20's. doesn't seem fair does it?

ok, i HATE christmas. all the forced frivolity. spending time with people you don't like just because you share genetics. don't get me started on the whole gift thing (cards too!). i'm all over spending quality time with the people i love (or even like) but why do i NEED to spend money and fight traffic to do it this week? i'm an atheist for...

Scheduled new ink! Getting a very traditional Japanese koi on my left arm. It'll wrap around on the inside and be lots of blacks, grays and blues with maybe a highlight or two in red/orange. It's my Xmas gift to me!!

I hate the holidays! It usual starts up about now and builds to the limits of my patience by NYE. I'm not even talking about the gross consumerism that occurs, it's really the "pressure" to be festive. The long drive on Thanksgiving to eat a bunch of food I don't like with a bunch of people I see twice a year -- oh boy, there's...

in Paris for the week...always a "trip"

ok, really will try to post some entries....

life has been incredibly busy and my tank has felt empty of late. it was easier working endless hours when it was fresh and exciting but now it just feels like mundane drudgery. the tsunami of shit that washes over me each week is relentless AND predictable. i just wish it was avoidable.

i have an overseas...
