Well, there's a lot I COULD say today about being the my entire family's collective afterthought, but I'm utterly exhausted and emotionally drained at this point. Plus, I've been busy talking to my friends Mi and Haley half the night trying to sort all this out, so maybe I'll talk about the situation at length tomorow, assuming nothing else noteworthy comes up.
But anyways...
Y'all...

What's wrong with me? I got so distracted by the decorative pear trees in Aiken that I completely forgot about the one-year anniversary of my auto accident.
I can't believe it. It's been one whole year since I've been behind the wheel of that dilapidated, gas-guzzling old '84 Cadillac El Dorado that I loved so much. One year since I ran that red light in...

Apparently, the decorative pear is the Official Tree of the City of Aiken.
The decorative pear, in case you didn't know, is this nondescript, unobtrusive, medium sized deciduous tree 50 and a half weeks out of the year. Since they don't even bear fruit (it is, after all, "decorative"), one might wonder why anyone even bothers planting them. But for that one week and a...

I figured something out today: We've gone through 5,183 invoices at work since I hired on there. Think about that: 5,183 paying customers in eight months. Now, granted, I didn't fill out ALL of those...believe it or not, I'm not there ALL the time (I get to leave early two days a week for school, and I'm still having to see an orthopedist occasionally about...

When it rains, it pours.
As y'all well know, I've been plotting my escape from Barnwell, well, ever since I moved back to Barnwell in the first place. And things are definitely looking up: I may very well have another set of wheels soon. This is definitely a good thing, since I've had NOTHING since I totaled my Cadillac last March 11. And, if the...

Why do I need such a powerful computer?
A talk I had with my golfing buddy Tim got me thinking about this. (No, not THAT kind of golf...even I haven't gone that far over to the dark side yet. Tim is the guy who routinely beats me senseless on the miniature golf course in Aiken. Beware anyone who brings his own damn putter to a...

I just ran across something rather surreal online tonight. There's this former SuicideGirl who's now on a board of directors for some "very important" children's charity. Now, she's all embarrassed by her former association with this website and is petitioning to get her photos removed.
Umm....has she ever heard of plausible deniability? Somehow I doubt that the people she works with at her charity are...

My fellow Americans,
I can think of no forum in which I'd rather to make this announcement. I'm making it official now and beating all my opponents to the punch: I'm announcing my candidacy for the Democratic Presidential nomination...in 2028. The way I see it, twenty-four years should be plenty of time to study the issues, build a campaign infrastructure, and perhaps most importantly...raise campaign...

Well, a guy can be slack with his blog once in a while, right? Not that there's much to report now, other than the fact that my orange-and-white, doesn't-know-he's-a-cat, furry little buddy Ziggy finally showed back up. He'd disappeared for a few days, causing no end of alarm at my house. After days of fruitless searching around the neighbourhood and numerous equally-pointless phone calls to...

Why am I so damn negative?
This thought occurred to me while reading back over my old entries. If somebody didn't know me before reading this, they'd probably consider me a real sourpuss who's definitely not someone worth getting to know. Yet, ironically, the people who actually KNOW (or think they know) me consider me a pretty easy-going, happy-go-lucky, friendly, honest, good-to-know kind of guy....

Barnwell, huh? Christ! I'm from Greenville originally, went to College of Charleston. I say head for the West Coast when you get the chance. I did a stint in New Orleans and a couple of years in San Fran before i ended up in Oregon. So far, Oregon wins.
