He didn't make it.
The dog didn’t make it. I’ve never felt this guilty in my life. What a fucking tragedy.

Catastrophe and the Cure
What a fucking day. I spent the entire day cleaning and doing errands. I cleaned the bathroom, I cleaned my room, I did like five loads of laundry, I dusted, and I vacuumed. I bought lots of reading material; four books. We have this girl living with us right now. I guess she’s unemployed. She’s from the northeast somewhere. I guess she worked at the newspaper with my roommate when...

Fighting Shadows
something’s darting across the walls
and we’re chasing after them.
sooner or later, we’re going to get them
we think.
so what
if it’s not solid
if our hands touch nothing
but paint and plaster
and pink fiberglass stuffing
and the wood superstructure.
we’re going to grab onto those shapes
one day.
either that, or attack
the walls
until...

On the Development of an American Ethnicity
It’s pretty easy to think there isn’t one now, since we’re mostly immigrants from all corners of the world. But a white person in America is different from a white person in Europe. I recently found out my great grandmother was half Choctaw. Here’s a picture of her. So, that makes me 1/32nd Choctaw. I would be willing to bet that a very large portion of Americans can say...

I've really been getting into MLS lately
I don’t know what it is. I guess it’s because it’s a mix of urban development (which I’m a sucker for), sports, and the evolution of something new in America that connects us to the rest of the world. It doesn’t hurt that Houston, TX has a pretty good team (go Dynamo!). They’re almost done building a new soccer-specific stadium in downtown Houston, which will be...
My yard is a lively little ecology right now
I went out to my car to get something and it’s a generally nice day. There’s a pretty strong breeze but it’s warm enough. You can feel the rainclouds patiently moving in. They’ll crack open and leak later today, but right now it’s just cool humidity and a breeze. I stood there on my porch, looking around. All different kinds of birds were mulling about, the ground a...

invisible:
Thank you for reading this and doing further research about Invisible Children and Kony 2012. In response to this explosion of interest about the Kony 2012 film, there have been hundreds of thousands of comments in support of the arrest of Joseph Kony and the work of Invisible Children. However,…

All this anti-Kony 2012 stuff is sick propaganda.
Yes, Invisible Children spend a lot of money on production value. (Can’t you tell?) Yes, they get paid more because they’re better at what they do. Yes, they want the U.S. military (or any other country’s military) in central Africa to kill or capture Joseph Kony. So what? Are these really criticisms? They’ve never been dishonest about Kony’s non-existence in Uganda...

Weirdly, they all tended to be photographed with them.
I take this as good evidence that all profound, decent people enjoy the company of felines.
