“Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up I noticed I was late” –The Beatles (A Day in the Life) A routine, I haz it. As much as I would like to believe that I have spontinatiy coursing through my entire existence, I have recently …
May the Fourth (grumble, grumble, grumble…)
So, basically all day today I’ve been trying to pithily pontificate the joys and wonders of Star Wars: this being the unofficial holiday of one of the greatest Sci-Fi properties in the history of Man. For all that Star Wars means to me, it is a downright crime that I haven’t done much writing about the subject. Basically stated, I’m …
RIP: Higgins
When I first met Higgins he was a spry little kitten who managed to get himself into all manners of trouble due to the pure nature of his obstinate will and curiousness. Being a Cornish Rex, Higgins had a built-in nature to climb and explore and generally cause all sorts of mayhem. I’ve gotta say, Higgins and I have not …
A Mind for Music
Driving around in the car the other day listening to KXT (like I typically do) I heard a string of tracks I hadn’t heard in years. What struck me first was the fact that I’ve been listening to some pretty damn good music for a very long time (insert self-indulgent pat on the back here) and that my brain is …
On Growing Up
 The other day I became engaged in a conversation with a close friend as to the nature of immaturity. As a fastly-approaching-middle-age male, I pride myself on my personal qualities that have allowed me to stay rather immature while, at the same time, remaining very responsible. That seems like a incongruous dichotomy (hell’s yeah with the big damn words!), …
Friday Playlist #7 – Wednesday Edition
Wow! It sure has been a long time since I wasted your time with a random playlist from the bowells of my finicky iPod, so today seems like the perfect time to do so. The typical rules apply: I hit shuffle and then explain myself. I don’t get to skip tracks and I don’t get to edit out “embarrasing” selections. …
Yoga Class 50: The Half Century
Yup, this crazy monkey is still going strong with his practice. Today I hit the fifty class mark (woo hoo!) and it’s really caused me to look back on this past twenty-five classes with some introspection. First, Camel Pose (Ustrasana) and Rabbit Pose (Sasangasana) are now my bitch. Yeah, that’s bold to say, but both of those were some of …
An apparent Emergen-C
I came to the realization a few days ago that I have a serious Emergen-C habit. Sure, it started as just an electrolyte replacement regimin due to the fact that I sweat like a stuck pig during yoga (and apparently sleep), but it’s gone beyond that. Here is some background on my “plight.” I am one of the few Americans …
Yoga Class 25: Finding Foundation
Ugh, another damn yoga post? Doesn’t this idiot have anything else better to write about? Today’s answer: no. This morning I woke up extra-groggy and with a scratchy throat. Knowing that the creeping crud has been taking down friends left and right, I was very determined to find refuge in a nice hot yoga class to help burn out the …
