All right folks, I could use a little help.

You regular readers may know I'm moving to the Oakland/East Bay are of California. I've been in retail for the last eight years of my life, and am thinking about a career change. I'm going to go back to school, and work on becoming a teacher of some fashion or another, but while I'm doing that...

"I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I've spent my whole life wanting to be someone's hero. Wanting to take away someone's pain. Their fear. Their problems. But I guess I can't do that.

Hell, I can't even take care of myself some days.

And a lot of my friends are intelligent, articulate people. Well educated, well read, insightful folks. They can turn a phrase on a dime and give you nine...

I have a really good friend who lives in the Walnut Creek area. I go over there every now and then to have him keep my computer in good working order. Whenever he answers the door he has a purple mouth from drinking wine, then I know I'm in for a long night....plus he has ADD, so that doesn't help.

Sometimes taking on too many bad emotions, lost struggles, and deep hurts can bring those demons to your door step. You must first keep yourself clean, free of negativity, and strive for rightiousness before you can rub off on someone, before you can shine and have impact. Always lend an open ear, and always leave on a positive note.

Take care

ARRR!!!

Well, I've decided not to stay in Vacaville after all. This quiet suburban city has it's appeals, but I'm a big city boy at heart. I need a place that's more art and culture oriented, has a better mass transit system, and in general a bit more of an open mind. So Bay Area, here I come.

Lots to do. I'll look for a job...

Good luck. The Bay is super expensive. I have friens that live all over the Bay. What part of North Bay are you thinking? Somewhere off of 80 or 101?

ARRR!!!

It's been a few days, so here's a bit of an update.

The Goddess and I have been fighting a lot these last few weeks. I've been being a jerk, and she can get defensive. It hasn't been a good combination. We've almost called it quits twice now, but realized we were probably being reactionary. We decided to take a break while I get my...

So which is it? Am I to be the sinner or the saint? The Tiger or the Dragon? The angel or the demon? The Man or the Monster?

Do I take the right hand path, and be the white wizard, the healer, the font of love? Or do I take the road sinister, and be a brutal ogre who creates pain and misery?

Sometimes it...

Happy 222nd day of the year!

Vacaville is truly starting to grow on me. About a month ago I was wondering how I could get out of this town. Now Im making plans to stay. Im going to look around for something that pays well enough for me to get a place of my own and pay off my debts. Guess I better finally get my ass in gear and get...

Well, I deleted my "ex" from my email and messenger accounts. And as a friend on MySpace. I guess I kept holding out hope shed get back in touch with me again, but aside from those days a few weeks back when she needed a little moral support, she doesnt really seem interested.

Im conflicted about the whole mess. She never really made me feel...
