[sometimes i think that i'm bigger than the sound]

I’ve been having a series of weird dreams lately, all consisting of needing to evacuate to avoid an impeding disaster, natural or otherwise. Last night I strapped my essential belongings to my back and camped in a park in preparation of an oncoming tornado of biblical proportions. Those who stayed in stable shelter [...]

any old love won’t do…

Yesterday I went to a departmental picnic for work. It was fun. I actually stayed for a couple of hours. Usually I just make an appearance and then leave because I am completely unsociable. I’ve been trying to be more friendly. Anyway, yesterday at the picnic I noticed that I am no longer one of [...]

The one where she doesn’t really say anything new. At all.

I’ve been bad about not blogging lately, probably as a result of Working, Plurking, and Dot. Oops. Luckily now we’ve gathered others to the website to alleviate some of our guilt about laziness in posting.
If you’re not in Lubbock, you may not be aware of the mosquito absurdity taking place here. I’m convinced it’s one [...]

let it go

If I don’t tell someone about this I am going to explode. So I’m telling you. I think that every few years of my life since I graduated high school something has happened to turn my world upside down. First of all, two years after I graduated I got married. Then two years later I [...]

[today is a day to talk like a pirate]

I’m not much in the mood to do so, though.
I finally get to sever all ties with the detox center today after a 10 minute battlefest over the phone regarding my final paycheck, which I think they were hoping I’d just forget about.  During my final week there, a 30′ish year old man brought in [...]

[pick any other place and i'll be there too]

I do not feel well.  I don’t want to be awake and I don’t really want to be asleep.
Ugh.

one foot in front of the other…

Hello everyone. Instead of reading about the decline of Great Society liberalism I have decided to write this blog.  A few things for you to consider:
I was walking to the library last week and I passed a young man wearing a t-shirt that said something to the effect of “I’m not a gynecologist but I’ll [...]

Are you lonesome tonight…

I was sleeping quite well this morning, enjoying a lovely dream, when I heard the annoying sound of tapping on the front door. At least, I’m pretty sure it was tapping on the front door. It took a while for me to become coherent enough to notice. I rolled over and saw that it was [...]

That’s Me

Hello everyone! I’m Maverick.
I swear sometimes I use up most of my time trying to figure out in what order I need to do things to get them done most efficiently. For example, I spent at least fifteen minutes this afternoon trying to decide which books I need to read this weekend and in what [...]

For the trees.

Hi. I’m Logen.
I moved to North Carolina in August. Previous to now, I’ve lived in various regions of Texas, mostly West Texas.
I miss the sky. I miss the horizon. I miss being able to look out across fields and say, “Hey. Look. It’s raining like 15 miles over there. See it?”
I miss dirt storms.
There are [...]
