The shackles, large cast iron casings big enough to wrap my forearms, sap my strength, leaving me unable to raise my fists in defiance. Heavy chains wrap my ankles, trapping me in place. The pallor on the walls, designed to break my spirit, play tricks on my eyes, causing vertigo and hallucinations. And the voices, are they voices? Whispers and hushed tones spelling out my...

You aren't facing it if it rules you. It's about going eye to eye and not flinching. The point is, even when you can do that, you have to face the fact that your wellspring of self-knowledge does nothing to change the nature of everything around you. And you accept living in a world you did not make and accept what satisfaction you can or you can rail against it and be a miserable, bitter fuck.

I'm kind of domesticated. moreso than I had originally thought. I have a dirty background filled with crime and drugs and jail and homelessness, but how far have I come..

I returned some lamps to Bed Bath & Beyond today because they didnt match the decor at all.

I don't know whether you should congratulate me or beat me senseless.

worst part? I bought a...

Don't think of it as being domesticated, think of it as blingin' out your crib.
Also, decorating doesn't have to be for wussies. When my parents came over once and and I showed them the new lights and bedding in the bedroom, and my dad said "It's a pagan den!" I knew I did something right.

I'm going to some little town in Ohio (where my friend's from) so her mom and sisters can go with her to help pick out her wedding dress. Then we're going to hit up all the little hole in the wall bars smile

I was supposed to meet a friend at my favorite wing place for beers and karaoke tonight. She flaked on me. I decided to soldier on, because nobody likes a quitter. In the span of 3 hours I managed to make half a dozen new friends, land a side job, make an entire table of women simultaneously fall in love with me, corrupt a girl...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people...

I do kinda miss sleeping next to someone.

I told several of my female friends I'd make them dinner if they'd crash next to me in return. They all said no. But to the very last, each one turned me down because they know they'd fuck me and none of them want to complicate the great friendships we have with sex. Which, you know, is...

For the next 3 days I'll be working my ass off for North Carolina's tax free weekend. Where thousands of assholes will cram into my store to save 6.75% on a small segment of electronics. These are the same people who will repeatedly ignore a 10% off coupon for 362 days of the year.

By about 1pm I'll wish I had enjoyed a big bowl...

Being me is super exhausting most days. It'll pay off one day.

I hope.

You know whats super? Thanks to last minute utility changes, I probably wont have electricity for a few days.

Yay for no hot water.

Yay for not being able to charge my (cell phone) alarm clock.

Yay for everything in my fridge and freezer going to spoil!

Yay for getting dressed in the dark.. and having nothing to do when I'm at home.. and not...

Man. I wish I had more to update. I'm kind of in a holding pattern right now. Dryad is in the process of moving out.. I'm working a lot and trying not to spend any money. Trying to sell one car so I can fix the other one.. trying to decide what to do now with life and everything else.

The boss at work, who...
