Approaching normal for her seems to mean “no room for you.”
True Lives or the Life I Blog
October 22, 2007 By Leave a Comment
I began writing the predecesor to this blog several years ago as a form of therapy, shared privately with a handful of friends. I survived those difficult years in large part because I was able to vent my deepest passions and confusions. Alas, the blog as a blog was pretty much a failure because it [...]
The Curse of Signs I’d Ignored
July 31, 2007 By Leave a Comment
I’ve written about this before. I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse. I decided to tackle the pile of papers I’d shoved into my bookshelf and put them into a hanging folder organizer. Of course the papers where print-outs of my online journal from 2003 to 2006, and I couldn’t file the [...]
Two Concert Tickets and No Date
July 7, 2007 By Leave a Comment
So I’m in the unfortunate position of having tickets to a concert coming up this Thursday and having no date. Sigh. You’d think that I would have learned years ago to not buy tickets given the less than stable conditions of my former relationship. But then one has to buy the things months in advance [...]
First Two Weeks o’ Summer Break
June 29, 2007 By Leave a Comment

February 16, 2007 By Leave a Comment
So, I haven’t written in quite a while and at least part of the reason has been my blog’s … ummm…. spotty “up-and-running” status. That’s at least part of the reason for my silence. Another part would be the anxiety and workload one takes on when putting together a school yearbook (to that end I’m [...]
“Loneliness” (Another JBB Journal Classic)
June 3, 2006 By Leave a Comment
I spent some more time perusing the JBB Journal archives and found this gem from the last year of my marriage, just a few months before the shit hit the fan… Loneliness 1:46 A.M. Much on my mind. I feel lonely. An odd feeling. Or perhaps a feeling that I haven’t paid much attention to [...]
The Curse of Having Digitally Enhanced Memories
May 27, 2006 By 2 Comments
For whatever reason I seem to have been “gifted” with the ability to remember, in pretty vivid detail, all of those pivotal moments in my life. The time of day, the way the sun shone in the sky, the rush of the crowd going by, the split second when she looked at me and said, [...]
