I sometimes feel that is a loaded question, “So, you want to be a writer?”  It’s like saying “So, what are you really going to do with your life while you pretend to be a writer?”  The whole, “how are you going to support yourself/your family?” issue.  I get it.
Being a writer is challenging — [...]

Back in February, Dani and I stumbled upon a concert while joining up with some friends at the bottle…  Through the wonders of the interwebs, I have been able to sort of keep tabs on one of the bands and then recently found out they would be playing in my neighborhood… last night…
No worries though.  [...]

When it comes to dating (not necessarily relationships) and pursuing people, I’ve had some interesting experiences since my last relationship (which ended 4 years ago).  For a while, I wasn’t ready to date again — not necessarily because I was “so heart broken” but because of some other life events as well.  However, when I [...]

That handsome boy is my Dexter.
Also known as The Best Dog Ever.
I got my DexterBoo* for my 14th Birthday.  All those years of having “puppy” on my birthday and Christmas wish lists paid off.  I don’t know what my mom was thinking or why she caved, but what kid is going to argue — I [...]

Well I’ve returned from my short-lived affair, gallivanting with kiwis… Though my love for Jemaine will never die, there are just things here in the Second City I can’t abandon… not to mention the whole long-term girlfriend/WIFE that he’s got…
I’ve got responsibilities to my kittens (who celebrated their first birthday a couple weeks ago… well, [...]

As I previously mentioned, I met up with sweaterboy Friday evening.
Due to some bad timing on my part — aka I watched the bus drive off while I was across the street waiting on the light — he actually managed to beat me to the concert.  (He had a faculty reading to go to that [...]

Okay, so there’s just too much that’s been going on for me to sit and focus on one aspect.  So rather than ramble, incoherently too probably, I’m going to try to just give you some snippets of the last few days…

The Canadian keeps messaging me.  Even once starting the text with “hay sweetie”…. I have [...]

Well, I officially have a new address now.
And no cooking gas and very little groceries. (Even fewer that don’t require a stove or some other ingredient that I don’t currently have.)
However, I am back in the Second City again… in the Midlands of Lakeview.  It was a good pick too.  I’m impressed with myself — [...]

Just thought I’d inform everyone that I’ve got a grad school application due this week… in a few days actually…
So… well… I’m more than a little distracted and am attempting to focus all energy there (minus the energy required to do my work tasks..)  .. But with essays to finish and edit and rewrite, and [...]

It seems like everyone has a friend in a band.  Some of these bands actually perform — a good number of my friends in bands do this.  Last night, Dani and I went to go support our friend Brett who was singing with his band Geared Towards Nowhere (GTN) at the Elbo Room.
Dani and I [...]
