The Freshmen
I love this song, although, reading the lyrics, I realized I had no clue what the hell it’s about! Abortion, maybe? Definitely a suicide in there. THE VERVE PIPE The Freshmen When I was young I knew everything She a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I’m guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on
Many people title their journal entries. If I did, this one would be something like Fun With Anesthesia. I’ve been avoiding getting my wisdom teeth out for years, ever since the consent form I had to sign for the Army dentist highlighted every possible danger of extraction. My bottom right has been impacted forever but
Stopped in at NYHRC to start my membership before our enrollment period ends tomorrow. It’s a great gym that I’ll never be able to use even half of but the fact that it’s right across the street leaves me no excuses for not going and getting back in shape. You’d think I was the one
Help! I’m Buying Comics Again!
Woah! Midtown Comics is scary cool! They sell EVERYTHING. They even had a lot of Moon Knight, though I’m glad I changed my mind about him before I went in there. Spent my whole gift certificate (not as easily as I expected, either) and got a few more of the Loeb/Lee Batmans I wanted, all
My name is Guy and I buy comic books
Hello. My name is Guy and I buy comic books. I was clean for over 10 years but I’ve recently relapsed. I’m not quite ready to admit that I’m powerless or that my life has become unmanageable, but the potential is there. Comics are like $3 each these days! Damn Omar. I told you he
A Place Like Home?
We’ve said it before but I really think THIS TIME, we’ve found a place we’ll be staying in for a while. Stopped in on Saturday to take measurements and they were almost finished with everything. The master bedroom and living room are bigger than we’ve ever had, plus the separate dining room is a nice
Been busy actually working today, forgot how much time I’d been wasting on personal stuff the past few weeks! Tonight’s the Pepátian: Jump It Up reading in the Bronx and I’m really looking forward to it. There’s apparently 14 different artists on the bill and I’ve got 7 minutes to perform! What do you read
This is Not Goodbye
Last night was a lot of fun. A bit too much, maybe, as my hungover ass stayed home today! Shappy beat me 3-2 in the head-to-head. I won the Star Wars round (!) and the imitation round, he took the other three. Every round was split 3-2 except for the imitation where I won all
It takes a clean break to heal right
Could it be that Spring is finally here for real? It’s beautiful outside. Grabbed lunch from the little Caribbean trailer out front – jerk chicken, rice and peas and plantains with a mint iced tea – and sat over in Battery Park to eat. The tourists are out in full force and there was a
ser·en·dip·i·ty
ser·en·dip·i·ty the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for. Omar is a bad man. Bad. Appealing to the geek in me, he dropped the idea of a fan fiction-type project in my head – writing our own versions of comic books online – and it’s like the time I was
