"may you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint!"
- irish toast

"clear your conscience and ride away"
- "manual," hot water music

st. patrick's day.

plan on raising a guinness and a jameson tonight.

the old irish handcuffs.

toast to what's past, and what's ahead.

the ides of march, the rites of spring

"what good am i to anyone like this? it's been a hard couple months, i'll admit."
- "convinced i'm wrong," polar bear club



things have been crazy lately. work, home, brain, heart - nothing's been panning out. as much as much of it is my fault, i've been dealing with forces and patterns i cannot control. or haven't been able to control.

and the same time, the last few months have seen so many things come to a close, in a good way. like this march of self destruction, self immolation, that started almost ten years ago is coming to an end. no more grudges and bad blood.

feeling like this spring will be defining, that things will come to fruition.

had a scotch and beer last night, hot shower and shave: here's to hoping i'm right, here's to hoping that i'm headed in the right direction.

why no pee hole?

i will admit that i am obsessed with my american apparel boxer briefs. none have fit so well or been so soft and consistently comfortable. and being from boston, you know i have been rocking boxer briefs since the days of marky mark.



but i need to ask, why does american apparel refuse to incorporate a pee hole into their boxer brief design? are these really supposed to be functional undergarments? or are they simply implements by which dov can spread awareness of the american apparel lifestyle via back page full color splash ads?

it is vexing to have to employ a combination of unzipping AND pulling down, when a simple pee hole would allow you to get your work done with ease.
