A surprising turn of events at the end of the day yesterday. We have one other full-time bench jeweler. She has a year of jewelry school at one of the best places for it in the U.S. and a little more than a year of real world experience. She really helped us out of a bind by taking a lot of the little stuff off...

I cause drama. I create drama. I own drama. So say people I know. It's what I do. Never let wounds heal. Never miss an opportunity to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Never let pushy get in the way of fucking up. I use Newtonian physics to affect a change in someone's personal inertia, alter their trajectory. I try to make them...

Felt good to soak in a pool and then empty a couple of boxes of ammo. Forgot how calming firing a pistol is.

bored. Bored. BORED!

Yes, changed screen names. More out of consistency than anything else. For those who don't know (which is probably everybody. Unless you read Madman comics back in the 90s) the name comes from one of the first trade paperbacks of Madman, The Oddity Odyssey. What can I say? I was fifteen when I started using that as my online persona.

Gone into a bit of an anti-social mode.

Christ, you would think I'd know better by now. Still, my idea of building up a strong SG presence in Dallas has proven disastrous. I knew there was a degree of mistrust between SGs and male members, but never realized to what extent. And then I go off and start trying to work the locks in completely the wrong way. Thank god for Zippo setting...

I kinda just exist right now. It's not a good thing when every breath is a sigh, is it?

Almost there. Today and tomorrow then two whole weeks off. The first real time I've had off work since grad school. Two weeks free from customers who make me miserable. That's what I look forward to the most. Yes, I'll always have customers who make me miserable but that's a job for you, even if you love doing it. That leaves me with only the...

You know what's the worst part of trying to be a good person, of trying to help others? You end up being an ignored person. I won't stop trying though. It is my neverending defeat.

Because you all deserve it.




"I like disincorporated African American heads with laser beam eyes. Disincorporated African American heads with laser beam eyes are grossly underrepresented in today's media. I want to see more disincorporated African American heads with laser beam eyes, and less disincorporated Caucasian heads with out laser beam eyes, but with a prosthetic death or freeze ray from space. Just because it's...

Spent a perfectly lovely weekend with Embry. Slept a lot but it was a real pleasure to meet an SG I've talked with for a while. Sad I couldn't take her to a lot of the places I normally go, but still had a satisfying and relaxing weekend. I've discovered that meeting SGs in person, particularly ones you've spoken with for a while, usually...
