Just a brief reminder

or: here i go again.We are 4 weeks away from the start of another SXSW. I won't be attending the conference this year. I probably won't be attending many of the parties. Part of me is sad about this, part of me is relieved. The stress of knowing which parties were the ones to be at or hoping you go to lunch with the group that has the conversation that everyone will be talking about later.I'm not

It's not that I don't have time for this....

(or "Let's Face It, The Only Reason You're Here is Because You Clicked on My Twitter Profile Link")Okay. It IS that I don't have time for this, but at times I really do forget about self publishing. Also, I just don't write like I used to. I never was much for linking to other things on the internet, hence why I've merely lurked at Metafilter for the past 7 years, asking and answering the odd

Dammit!

I keep forgetting I have this damn thing. It's been another damn year without a post. No wonder you people don't like me anymore.Quick update... we live in Austin now. Just got done with SXSW. working locally. Joel loves it here.I need to remember this thing is working. I need to maybe actually design something for this thing so I'm not using this puke green template. Oh well.

I think I may have used that title in a post many years ago. Not sure.Yesterday, while walking to work, I passed that old garage. You know, the one that looks like it's been standing there for the past 127 years and by damned it's not coming down now. I caught something out of the corner of my eye, a cat, lying in front of 'Ole Shakey'. Turning my head to look at this rather massive cat, I

This morning, as I rolled out of bed at 7am, which was really 8am, I carried Joel into his nursery. I was going to take him downstairs, but my body felt as though I had been punched while sleeping. I returned to the bed to set Joel down and do some morning playing. As I turned, something moved the way it shouldn't have.So there I was, laying on the bed trying to hold Joel up with one arm and

That's right... a cheese sandwich

2007-02-19T21:16:00.000Z

Today, I had a cheese sandwich.It wasn't very good. Kind of soggy. And too much cheese. Really. And what's with the butter in this country? Butter on every damn piece of bread that gets made into a sandwich. Butter on your tuna melt, butter on your blt, butter on your roast beef with mayo, and, yes, butter on your damn cheese sandwich.Honestly, I haven't come back here to talk to you about cheese

No... Seriously

All too often, I've had a thought in my head and wished this thing was still alive so that I could jot down my ideas again.So now it is.See, I tried a couple (few) times before to get going again, but it never seemed to take off. That's a lot of water under the bridge. Since I was last regular with this beast, I've moved to the UK, gotten married, and had a son. I've been taking a lot of photos,

18 Months Long time old man. This Blogger thing has changed. New people, new format. There's some new shit here, man. Still works though. Maybe it's time we got things going again around here. You know. Grease. Squeaky wheels. the lot.

i have not been able to go a single day without thinking about it , there's always something that triggers it. a car, a person, a song, a color. a deep color. a beautiful deep color that haunts me day and night. every damn day. every damn night. i love it.

2003-06-18T07:43:00.000+01:00

i figure it's worth a shot. i haven't used blogger for 6 months now. Perhaps it's time we put some effort into this monkey-forsaken site.

2002-12-22T02:21:00.000Z

there has been something wrong with my publishing for about two weeks now. perhaps i should talk to ev about it. or perhaps i should stop using free publishing and move to something a little beefier.

the most surprising comment i've received came a couple of days ago from a customer at the store. i had helped him pick out some binoculars a couple of months before and asked him how he liked them. his face went blank and then said something to the effect of not recognizing me. he said i seemed like a completely different person and i must have been having a bad day when he was in here last

today, while doing a photo shoot for our executive chef, he asked me to say something funny so his smile wouldn't look forced. i tried hard to think of a funny joke, but just blanked. after a couple of minutes of sitting there, thinking. i turned to him and said, "pants." he laughed for ten minutes. damn, i'm funny.

last night i dreamed that we were on our honeymoon. we were on a boat off of venice looking back onto st. mark's square. it was really beautiful and the sun was shining. we were heading to switzerland to stay at a small inn. i showed you the canals and the amazing churches. you smiled and held tight onto my arm.

it's party time! if you can't join us tonight. check out the party on the chimchim cam.

jeremy and i have decided to throw a party this saturday. see, you only turn 25 once. unfortunate as that is, i've still decided that it would be fun to have folks over for my birthday. i still feel as though i'm 25, and that is all that is important. so there will be a large soirée here at the house on saturday evening. i will try and sent out invites to all my friends out there, but am likely

it really is true. cat's are much larger than you think.

2002-10-29T06:29:00.000Z

get on with it those that have spent any amount of time around chimchim these past six months know that i have been a monkey of few words for quite some time. for a while this was due mostly to having someone to share my daily thoughts with in person. that was truly a blessing even though the content here suffered because of it. more recently, the lack of thoughts here have been due to a traffic
