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.

getting soft

been getting soft, cutting corners. trying to stay on the ball, but it gets tough day in, day out.

maybe that's how i got myself sick.

when i get my strength back, i'm laying down the law.

it's go time, girls.

employees must play in bands

enid's continues it's streak of completely spot-on bathroom graffiti.

lesson for the day

dodging down the steps to the l. i remember that i have enough for a subway ride and a few pints. i'll be alright.

fit for battle

as usual, my chinese horoscope is spot on.

"You'll show iron willpower despite your smile and rather urbane manners. Whatever your objectives, you'll reach them because you'll throw all your live forces into the fight. You must absolutely put your ideas in due order; fundamentally, you're very much attached to your home, but you won't know the exact nature of your sentiments and of your relationships with your spouse. Your nervous balance will be threatened by contradictory influxes; you'd better carefully control all that you'll do."
