Right now I'm starving. However, I know that I'm not hungry. I've gone much longer than this without food before without even starting to feel hungry. But I'm restless. And my body equates that with hunger and it shouldn't. That's only one of the many reasons for this cleanse.
The "body" portion is basically a very [...]

Today I'm starting a cleansing ritual: body, mind, soul. The details of how and why are quite personal and complicated. But I'll tell bits and pieces as I feel like I can. The process itself isn't even that straight forward. Some of it is clear, others have to be invented as I go along. It's [...]

I can be intense. Too intense for some people, I think. I'm trying to work on this and figure out how to control it more.
Twice this week people I don't communicate with very often have commented on how fast I respond to emails. A friend mentioned that she had forgotten while I was out of [...]

I know that most of you didn't like the auto-twitter posting that appeared on my site. In truth, I don't really care for it on other sites either, unless I don't follow that person in Twitter and so long as they have more than just nothing but Twitter posts for months on end.

I'm tired of eating out. I'm nearly forced to do so when I travel for work. But at home, I do have options, yet I eat out a lot more than I should. Most of the time, when I eat out, it's because I'm in a hurry, or because I'm meeting people for dinner.

I love Craigslist. I don't post often, though I have before.  I don't really respond all that often either. I just enjoy the raw nature of it. There so much passion in a missed connection. There's so much excitement in seeking a companion. There are so many new possibilities and opportunities. There so much freedom [...]

I feel like I need to keep writing, even when I don't know what result I'm seeking. I have nothing to explain, because I don't even understand it myself. I have nothing to share because I feel as though with each passing day I get closer and closer to a complete stop. Stagnant. I have [...]

He carefully slid his arm out from under her neck, sliding just a bit more to his side of the long, worn bench seat of his pickup truck. As the last rays of sun were burning up over the mountain top, he stared at her, watching her chest rise and fall with each sleeping breath. [...]

It's currently 12:51pm. But, if all goes well, you won't see this until 1:15pm (central time). But that didn't work so I'm trying again for 10:00pm.
One of you let me know if it works.

I think I'm a target for broken things — broken anything. From techology, to things bought in various stores, to that too-emo-for-my-age feeling that even most of my relationships are broken in some way.
I go into a Starbucks with a simple purpose: get some Caffiene before going back to work so I don't fall asleep [...]
