It's has been an eventful few months since I last posted. I've been working things out with my dad, for one. So when I mentioned that I was still looking for work as well as looking for an apartment of my own he invited me to join him in the inland northwest. After some thought and deliberation I got my stuff together, finished my EMT basic clas... Read More

More Adventures in Winter Driving

So Dec. 3rd I'm on my way home from my first day of substitue teaching. I live way out in bfe up in the mountains. The weather had been a really shitty mix of snow and rain all day. The roads down in the valley were fine, but once I got to my little mountain town they were all covered in a layer of slushy snow. So here I am driving along be... Read More

Long Dark Night of the Soul

Wed, 29 Dec 2004 21:55:39 -0600

The long dark night of the soul is that time when you tango with your inner demons, waltz with your fears, and eventually accept those shadowy bits of yourself. But you know what people forget to tell you when they talk about their long dark night of the soul? That it's not just *one* night, it is many long nightmarish nights, and many equally lo... Read More
