I need more projects to distract me, but I don't know what to do.

Ran a couple of miles this morning. It's about the only thing that makes sense right now to me to do. I guess my theory is that physical pain will trump everything and it'll be the only thing I can feel, so I run until I hurt. I should try and...

Fuck it, stop moping jason. Get on with your life even if you don't want to. Try to love yourself even if you don't. Just try for fucks sake. That's the only way anything will ever get better. You've been through the alternative and you almost didn't survive. You wouldn't have if it wasn't for someone. You don't have that now. You blew it. Do...

After some kind words from friends and strangers I decided for now I'm going to stay. Or at least try to. Maybe to prove I'm strong enough to myself or maybe because I just don't have anywhere else to go. I don't know.

Am I better? No. Quite the contrary actually. I'm about as sad as I've ever been in my entire life. As sad...

All things come to an end. Friendships, stories, relationships, dreams, fantasies, fun times, bad times; all come to an end eventually. Sometimes that end is good. Sometimes that end is bad. Sometimes you can change it, sometimes you can't. In the tale of SG and SnakePlissken there were a lot of bumps and turns, twists and pitfalls. I found incredible friends and incredible love here,...

So, let's talk 2010 here. What did I do?

Started it around 350 pounds. I weigh 245 now, since October. Down from a near 4XL to an XL. I'm happy with that so far. Pants down a 48 to a 36-38. Still a long way to go, I'm a chunky monkey; but a healthier one.

Scored a really decent summer job as a QC manager...

Not really doing much. Just hanging out. Toured a few breweries including Abita. Their tour kinda was sucky. They showed us the mash tun and fermenting vessels....aaaand that was it. However they did give us open access to the taproom....

Tomorrow, finals. The next day, depart for Mississippi for ten days. I probably won't be missed around here, but I assure you the tales of my demise are quite exaggerated.

I'm going to Gulfport to visit my parents who winter there in their RV for the good weather and low, low cost of living over other areas. It's going to be a mixed bag I...

It's friday. No more homework to do, dead week is upon us. This means it's time to get brewing.

That being said I need to rack off one beer to keg today, and rack my starter beer off it's yeast cake so I have it to toss another beer onto tomorrow for fermentation.

This particular beer is a tribute to my best gal. Basically I'm...

Tonight I go to see Dimmu Borgir and freeze my ass off waiting in line. I miss my fat coat.

In other news, I started expanding my writing into the realm of the serious. Beer, of course. My new column is called The Beer Nut., which seems pretty appropriate and punny. Pardon me whilst I pat my own back. Anywho, I plan to take...
