Still Here. Still Up to Mischief.

I’ve been getting more questions than I expected over the last few months. “Why arent you still blogging?” “Why don’t you post anything new?” “Why don’t you keep up your blog?” The reality is, I have over 50 posts that are incomplete.. It’s usually when I’m in a relationship I don’t blog, but since I’ve [...]

Kantoku Hako Pt. 3: Rationalization

It was a wet night and we were sitting in my car in a secluded docklands parking lot. We used to go there a lot because neither of us had a place we could take each other. The windows were completely fogged up making the car look very suspect. But the only fluids being excreted [...]

Kantoku Hako Pt. 2: Bakappuru

So the 7 or so months we’d spent together were some of the best of my life. Much to my surprise I had caught myself thinking about how good my life was pretty frequently. I already told you we were opposites.. but things were opposite, in me. I didn’t quite understand it. I was losing [...]

Kantoku Hako

So it was probably around the time I was lying in bed recovering from an operation and watching the tv reboot of Teen Wolf that I realized my life wasnt quite going according to plan. Despite a solid birthday gathering, substantial weight loss and the procurement of a stable job, various other things conspired to [...]

Stood Up

So after around 6 years of online dating, I just got stood up for the first time. It took an hour out of my life, but I’m sure I’ll remember it for much longer than that. I’d exchanged some funny messages back and forth over BlackBerry (BB) messenger with this girl. I didn’t have her [...]

A Burning Question

Claire often tells me, people don’t want to read about me having sex. They’d rather hear about the times I don’t get laid, or when I DO get laid – but its hilarious. Well, good thing this post is about a friend of mine and not me. For the sake of this piece, we’ll call [...]

The Vaudeville Cowgirl

I’d recently scored a new high paying job so I was in a fairly jovial mood and, of course, a jovial mood = celebratory beers. There was this girl I’d run into in a fairly random situation once before. I’d seen her picture on an online dating site and talked to her a bit.. then, [...]

Jesus Doctor Who’ing Christ

Father, I have a confession. I quit my job a few months ago and I haven’t had much to do. I ran out of TV shows to watch. I’ve watched every episode of Bottom at least 6 times. On top of that, THREE WHOLE seasons of 24 (man, Season 8 Episode 22 ROCKS!) and even [...]
