It’s 5:53 in the morning, and I’m driving a car-full of my drunk friends home. Upon Carlos’ earlier insistence, Pink Floyd is blaring over the speakers. After twenty minutes of being on the road, I suddenly get the feeling that I’m the only one who’s still digging the music. I look to my right and…

A Happy Ending?
It took some searching, but I finally found her. That’s one less regret I have to worry about in life. Whether this will lead to a renewed friendship, nobody can know for sure. But at the very least, I’ve been given my second chance, and I’m thankful for that much.
Dearest Wendy,
I met her at a high school mixer at the age of sixteen. She was far too shy to approach me herself, so her friends stepped in (ignoring her pleas to let it be) and asked if I’d dance with her. I accepted, and they introduced me to Wendy. She was soft-spoken, yet insightful—sweet, but…
At the End of the Day
Where we’re living in this town The sun is coming up and it’s going down But it’s all just the same at the end of the day When we cheat and we lie Nobody says it’s wrong So we don’t ask why ‘Cause it’s all just the same at the end of the day Don’t…

Cherries Jubilee
The promise of ice cream. That’s all it took to brighten my day. It’s always nice to be reminded that you have friends that care.
How Ironic
We all have our antisocial phases. I’ve been in a foul mood for well over a week now. I’ve pretty much wanted to stay in bed all this time and hang a “go screw yourself” sign on my bedroom door. Incidentally, I got a new cell phone this weekend…you know, so I can keep in…
Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking, B2?
I called up my Aussie friend Suzanne Tuesday afternoon (Wednesday morning for her). I used two calling cards and we ended up talking for about an hour and twenty minutes. Not bad for our first vocal conversation in five months. I met her this summer on my trip to Europe…she was in my tour group….
How Many Assholes Do We Got on This Ship Anyhow?
Carlos: why is this world full of assholes? Carlos: i mean everyone to an extent is an asshole Carlos: but there are people that are over the top Carlos: and you know another thing that pisses me off Carlos: what is this pray for peace? Carlos: we create the shit Kevin: we create war? Carlos:…
Tired of Playing the Fool
Oh, the drama: mixed signals, varying shades of advice from every corner and from every angle, lingering doubts, and lingering suspicions. Sometimes, man… At some point, something’s gotta give. It’s just like Carlos always says, “Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes that fucking bear…he gets you.” What’s the score at now, anyway? I think…
