The Archenemy Cometh, Giveth, and Taketh Away



My friendship with M&C has turned very close.

We can be quite frank around each other and not be put off  by what we say. When they invited me out yesterday, I thought it'd be just another window-shopping trip. We'd look at the lamps and say, "Oh yeah, this lamp with that shade" or "This would go great in my room."

Beans & Me


A transposition from a chat post on Tumblr


Thursday night into Friday night, I had pulled an all-nighter.

Day and Age


Inspired by the Killers' 2008 album

"I'm just a stick in the mud. But now, the mud is drying, and I'm in danger of falling over."


That phrase was in a letter I wrote on March 1st.

Sit Down, Mister


Tuesday night, around seven, sitting at my bench, I pulled out my keyboard. I plugged the power supply into the wall, placed the stand in the demarcated holes, and pressed the white power button. 

I began to play what I usually do. First came Für Elise, then Adele's "Someone Like You", followed promptly by a rendition of "Für Elise" using a harp, allegro like they did in Django.

Triple A


A three-part dream sequence had while on vacation
in Mexico, Christmas Day, 2012...

(This is a long post, just sayin'.)

"Obsession" by Eddie

For the past few years, I've been hanging on to a grudge that should have never existed in the first place. Things were said, and people have moved on. Except me.

Something I Said?


In my room, there is a Blu-ray player my brother received as a Christmas present last year. We got a good deal on it, $65, before the State of Texas made Amazon pay taxes, which we do now. Ugh... no more tax-free goods... fucking State Comptroller. Bet she's Republican, too.

Cobblestone Dreams


Sundays are always interesting. A day to lay about, a day to play video games, a day to use bad words and poke fun at the neighbor who sells drugs. Fun, fun, fun. Sundays are also days to finish chores, finish errands, to roll coins and find out your thirty dollars richer. A full Sunday indeed for me.

A Poem for HoJoKo

In September 2011, I marked the One Year Anniversary of the feud with a somewhat sleep-tinged post. I wrote this back in September after staying up all night and then trying to correct my sleep cycle by trying to fall asleep past five. Well, that didn't happen and I wrote this twice. The I accidentally unplugged my computer after I had finished the first one without realizing it was saved. I then re-wrote it. 

After a few hours, I recalled the post. But now, as part of The Remembrance Week, here is the archival post: A Poem for HoJoKo.

Observances & Accidents

Let me see if you have ever experienced this. You're talking with your friend or family member. You're having a nice chat, and then some stranger who knows your friend/family member comes up and interrupts your conversation with them. If you haven't, then you're missing out. If you have, it sucks balls.

The Preceding Events

This week on the ESF is dedicated to remembering a part of this blog. After this next Saturday, I'll never see The Archenemy again. Both him and I are graduating from school and since we're going to attend different universities next year, there will be no interaction ever. Maybe in ten years... we'll give each other dirty looks.
