Now that I am home most of the time (at least until I need to leave again), I have had time to get back into hobbies I enjoyed in my younger days. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I was quite a comic fan back then. I would usually read Superman or Batman, or other characters that I no longer remember due to their blandness. I was never one to dive into the obscurer characters. It wasn't like my pe... » Continue Reading
It's been a while since my last entry, easily a few months. In that time, I have been working to rid my home of a particularly loathsome pest: a friend of a friend that has been couch surfing for quite a while. This man has been staying in my home for almost five months. In that time, he has worked one single day at a job that he did not go back to. He eats my food, makes a mess of my things, and ... » Continue Reading
Spring is beautiful. I love the way the world completely lights up for the new season. One thing that I don't find entirely pleasant, however, is the constant rain. I find being wet extremely unpleasant, and I rarely like being soaked in my dayclothes. Still, though, there is something hypnotizing to sitting in front of an open window and feeling the cool air blow in, still carrying moisture from ... » Continue Reading
The world is full of events that can make you want to curl up and cry. It seems as though every day there is something new in the news that causes a little part of my heart to break off. There occasionally comes times when I feel emotionally fragile, as is the human experience. When this happens, there are certain songs that I turn to. For an immediate pick-me-up: Tandem by Halcali Halcali » Continue Reading
This has been my first week on Spacehey. I have enjoyed it so far, although I must admit that I do not have the same MySpace nostalgia that so many have for the site. I am within the age range of those that would have experienced it, but I lived a very sheltered childhood and it was never in the cards. Regardless, I have found the userbase to be, for the most part, very welcoming and pleasant. Pr... » Continue Reading
Often while dreaming, I'll find myself in places I have seen before. Typically these locations are professional in nature, such as a church or school, however I have also dreamt about leisure locations, such as bars, settings from my favorite video games, or shopping centers. Typically, I feel a sense of deja vu that sticks with me well into the day, like the residues from a label placed with impr... » Continue Reading
Although I may seem at first to be too refined to enjoy messy dishes, I will admit that I do occasionally indulge in food that lends itself to sticky, greasy hands. A particular vice of mine is pizza. I firmly believe that there is very little food in the world that fulfills the same type of satisfying bite and filling passion that pizza accomplishes. The flavors of pizza are simple yet elegant, a... » Continue Reading
Identity is a tricky thing for some. There are those who consider an identity that is not their own to be scary. Identity is not something someone chooses. It is the will of the Lord what a person is like. You can choose to be a kind person, you can choose to look at your fellow man with love, but you cannot choose what color your skin is, your gender, or who you are attracted to. It is not our wi... » Continue Reading

The internet is truly a pit of lies. They flow over every surface like a slime, coating it all in a greasy sheen that makes it impossible to tell what you are looking at. At first, this frustrated me. I am a gullible person, naturally, and I have a difficult time telling fiction from reality. Eventually, however, I became aware of the red flags people displayed. It's easier to assume someone is l... » Continue Reading
