I received an email over the weekend that made me stop and cry, but in a bad way. It brought back all of these painful memories that I thought had mended within myself. I had fixed them and remedied them and, through them,...

It is hot here. The sun is bright overhead, but there is a breeze from the ocean that comes to rescue us every so often, whisking away the sweat from our brows, enveloping our bodies with a cool, soft air.
The first thing I noticed on my way to Caye Caukler, as I took the water taxi to the island, were the school children in their homemade uniforms. When I came to Belize, one of the perks, they...

is it facebook-legal
…to defriend someone from your Facebook friends list because they just got married and changed their name and you are only friends with them because you were in the same class in journalism school together? And then you’re like, “Jennifer Jones? I don’t know no stinkin’ Jennifer Jones.” Then you to go to their Facebook page and see that it was Jennifer Smith,...

ANALYZE THIS
Dream posts are the worst. I’m sorry.
I had a dream last night wherein I bought this board game called Fish! that apparently was made by Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna and was about making bouquets of fruit sculpture at home. It was really complicated and it involved going out and getting your own fruit, so I gave it away because, honestly, fuck that noise. I don’t even like fruit...
WatchI was thinking about creating a VYou account but I really just wanted to take a video of me being bored and not doing anything and I didn’t want to really answer any questions so I decided to do that video on its own so here it is.

Hermit Update: November 2010
Tonight I am on my couch in a blanket drinking Diet Sunkist and watching Home Movies. My AARP membership card hasn’t arrived in the mail just yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s well on its way.
I am trying my hand at something different now. I am trying to write a novel. Whoa! Just writing that seems like a fucking terrible sentence to write! What! A novel! That’s stupid! Why...
