The End Of The Beginning

Do doo dooooo! That was my attempt at trumpeting. :P 365 blog posts baby!!! :D It's over, it's done, it's complete! :D I can't believe I did it. The past few days have been filled with paranoia, I was sure that meteorite was going to strike or that my Mac was going to …

In The Mood For Love

I want to talk about Wong Kar-Wai's 2000 art house film, In The Mood For Love. Actually, there are a lot of things that I want to talk about but I've waited far too long to get them out there and I've run out of time. Among the many things that I could talk about I …

Symbology

I went to church earlier today. I only "attend" (no service for me) twice a year, once for Mother's Day and once for Father's Day. I bring this up because I have a problem with relegating my "worship" (this is worthy of its own post) to a singular space that's removed …

False Face

A little something about avatars tonight. I often wonder how many people are familiar with mine, the Sad Mac. I can't remember what my first dedicated avatar was but I know there was something before the Sad Mac because I specifically remember being on the hunt for …

Memory... "Cerberus x2"

I used to have an irrational fear of dogs. When I was young, a wee lad, I had a very vivid dream in which I was walking hand-in-hand with my mother in our old neighborhood. In the dream, we walked passed a familiar facility. Even now, I don't know what the place was …

• Finally got to see Sex And The City: The Movie with my cousin last night.
• It's not until I spend some time with someone who's not totally immersed in tech culture that I realize how obsessed I really am. Maybe I should cool off? Hmmm... ... ... ... Nah! :P
• Apple posted …

Bucking & Braying

I got into a conversation recently about authoritarianism which then bled into a general discussion on societal pressures and such. But in my mind I was somewhere else, trying to uncover the root of the problem... the origin of my hatred. Well, maybe not the origin... …

In Name Only?

I flirted with this thread in a previous post but was surprised to discover that I didn't pick it up again. Well the idea came again recently and I thought I would expound on it. I've always been interested in the business of naming. I'm always questioning the reasoning …

A Rant # "Implicit Respect"

I was listening to The Howard Stern Show the other day and they were having a discussion that centered around ideas of family life, child rearing, etc., none of which I want to talk about today but that discussion did spark another one I've had floating around my head …

Lyrical Exegesis / "Professional Widow"

This is only my second true Lyrical Exegesis post and as I come down to the end of this blogging project I really wish I set aside more time and put more effort into writing more of them, there are so many songs out there that I want to share and spin from my …
