the quiet game chronicle

The Quiet Game When I was a young lad and my family would pile into the car for a long trip, my sister and I would - as children do - be quite loud and obnoxious in the backseat throughout the journey, deprived as we were of any of the usual stimulations and attention required … Continue reading the quiet game chronicle →

time of the last persecution

Time Is Like A Dream At Dawn I have a real problem with time, besides there never being enough of it. For one thing, I can't wear watches because there's some weird electro-magnetic current situation in my body that always causes them to quit working. It's true, and not a particularly rare condition from what … Continue reading time of the last persecution →

i can see it (but i can’t feel it)

Theoretically Being There It's been a while since I read Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination, but one interesting thing that stuck with me - if I remember it correctly...and so many times I don't - was that when the characters would "jaunte" (or teleport) from one place to another, it was important that they … Continue reading i can see it (but i can’t feel it) →

borrowed soul

Cheese If you got a digital camera for Christmas, congratulations to you. But one thing has me puzzled: do we still run the risk of having our souls stolen in the picture taking process when film has left the equation? As a way of somehow explaining what I mean, here's another one of those late-night … Continue reading borrowed soul →

one christmas for your thoughts

Silent Night You know what? I love Christmastime. I love the Holiday Season. My spine tingles from all the bell sounds and the crispness of the air, and I know it's generally the last bright spot before another dreary Winter, so it's a good time to get in a last round of cheerfulness before the … Continue reading one christmas for your thoughts →

falling and laughing

Falling (Even the Angels) Demo The revelation hit me hard once, as I lay in the grass looking up at the sky, that I was in reality looking out at the sky - much as a magnet stuck on the fridge is looking out at your kitchen - and I swear to you I became … Continue reading falling and laughing →

camerA

Pumpkin Postcard My camera's broken. Sometimes I wish my cell phone had a camera on it, but it doesn't so I'm without an image capture utility at the moment. Let's see if the rumors are true: I bought the camera at Costco two years ago and I still have the receipt (but not the box). … Continue reading camerA →

Me & the Sea (For Better or Worse) I have been looking for a long time For something to ease my troubled mind The closest thing I've found Is an inaudible sound That I discovered accidentally tonight I went out walking by the ocean I went out under the dark sky Autumn has begun So … Continue reading where the ocean meets the eye →

busted afternoon

Welcome to the Neighborhood Here's a song based on my friend Cliff's experience moving our friend Lisa Marie up from Montgomery to Atlanta several years ago. As these things generally go, the lyrics are a combination of separate events, and I'll have to admit that Cliff was somewhat disappointed that they didn't reflect the seedier … Continue reading busted afternoon →
