If yesterday was all about Ole Blue Eyes a.k.a. Francis Albert Sinatra (and it was), then today is definitely about Stevie Wonder. I really wish I could take some music into the test with me because I swear I get better scores when I’m listening to something I like, such as what’s currently playing, "All [...]

Mincing Words
There used to be a time when I would say whatever I felt like saying on this site, without any fear. The odd thing about it is that it was back then I actually had MORE readers, or at least more people were commenting. But now, I feel strangely compelled to censor myself. Maybe it’s [...]
Just Like Old Times
Today I had lunch with an old friend. It was the first time hanging out in a long, long time. Our seperation was completely my fault, but today it felt good to sit and talk and eat and just shoot the shit. She’s one of my favorite folks and she didn’t deserve what she had [...]
Projection, Displacement, and Reaction Formation
Projection – a defense mechanism in which one attributes ("projects") to others, one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them.
Displacement – a subconscious defense mechanism whereby the mind redirects affects from an object felt to be dangerous [...]
Fear and (Self)Loathing In Nashville.
I made allusions to it earlier this week, but it’s a pretty well known fact that I’m prone to moments of self loathing. I mentioned Larry David and Richard Lewis as icons in self loathing, but I forgot the once and future king. The one and only Woody Allen! I think this line from Annie [...]

Spokesmodel: It’s been awhile ladies and gentlemen. The rules are [...]
Introducing My Biggest Fan…Me
Another from the files of "out of the mouths of Babes". I was telling my buddy Anya about my last entry and she said she wasn’t surprised and then revealed something else about me that I hadn’t considered. According to her I am also pretty self-absorbed.
Can you imagine that? A guy like me, with a [...]
It’s Warm Outside, But I’m Still Cold
Last night I was compelled to call a "dear friend" (as she’s referred to me in the past). I don’t know what it is about me where when I’m feeling down I reach out to those old familiar women in my life. She’s reached that point in the course of things I guess.
Anyway, in our [...]
Feeling Out The New Digs
This is the big change I was hinting at oh so long ago! It’s here and while the outward changes are obvious the changes for me are even more so! I should have made the move to wordpress a long, long time ago to be honest, but well, life gets in the way sometimes you [...]
