Toys

So recently, my little brother broke up with his girlfriend. I found out about it while I was in LA because my mother had to share it with me, but the way she shared it with me completely cemente...


I just wrote the longest and most boring entry about my disorder that I’ve ever written. No one wants to read that, I didn’t even want to write it, so I’ll distill it down to something interestin...

Dreams

Angel I’m walking down some kind of passage, all I can perceive is a brick wall to my right. Somehow the pathway is lit before me in a way that completely directs my path forward. To the left is ...

Listening Through Doorways

I’m watching Love Or Whatever, and Jennifer Elise Cox is sooooo fucking hysterical. She portrayed Jan Brady in the 90s Brady Bunch movies (which are quite possible two of the funniest films ever ...


Someone posted that on my Facebook page in response to something in French, and I’ve never laughed so hard about something Russian.


Do you make your bed? I don’t even sleep in a bed. I don’t have one and haven’t had one since I left Los Angeles. Yet another reason to leave. Also why staying away from home is such a treat. The...

Fandom

I finally had a day off today and I spent most of it watching a 6-hour documentary on the making of the original set of Star Trek movies. I really don’t know how people feel about Star Trek any l...

Salvation

Amongst the idiotic romantic entanglements into which I’ve been getting myself, there has also been the situation of my grandmother’s deteriorating health. The main problem I’m having with the wh...


I feel like doing one of these will either clear my sinuses or my head… either way I’ll get to empty out a bunch of nonsense that’s just clutter. Be honest; name of the last person to text you? I...

Pick A Number

Does anybody remember an entry called The Vase Is the Most Important part of This Story? Well, the guy I cuddled with the whole night has been put in a Buzzfeed list. Does anyone wanna hazard a g...

Book of Miracles

I decided that I would not go to Maddie’s funeral, and I did it explicitly for selfish reasons. Out of the twenty-two deaths in 2016, I went to 17 funerals. Frankly, that’s too much grief and ref...


I keep to a pretty normal routine and it takes a lot to disrupt what I do on a weekly basis. It’s comforting because I tend to see the same people over and over again and then that’s how I make f...

That Gay Music

The great thing about pop culture right now is that it is relatively easy to find acts that are ACTUALLY LGBT and not just trading on it for a quick buck. I mean, there are times when I question ...

Ask Me No Questions

Sometimes you just want to answer questions and not have to sort through your own thoughts. What’s your middle name? Daniel What are you listening to right now? What was the last thing you ate? ...

On My Side

My time in Lake Tahoe was a bit depressing. I mean, it was nice. I love the nature, I took pictures and got to get away for a bit, but I didn’t really get away from the problems in my head. If an...

Forever And For Always

I got rather interesting invitation the other night and despite my reservations, I decided to go. Edgar invited me to his stand-up show. He’s been hosting a monthly show for two years now and nea...

A Lesson After Dying

My grandfather died this morning. Don’t get too excited, it wasn’t the one we’ve been praying will die for ages, it was another of my grandfathers. (I have 3 remaining grandfathers and only one g...

The Woods

When I was finally at a place with my stand-up where I could actually tour and sustain a whole show by myself, I started writing concept narratives. That was how I did my shows. Each of my shows ...

The Greatest Adventure

It was the end of Summer 2001, I was 17 and had just moved to a new town. I had gotten into some trouble while working as a life guard at a water theme park. My mother's friend had taken me to he...

BJ

Today I made a pointless post on Facebook (as if I ever post anything worthwhile) that said, "I miss my waterbed." My friend BJ responded by saying, "I miss your waterbed, too." That may seem li...

Rain Rein Reign

When everything comes down around you, you have no choice but to take control and assert dominion over the things that you believe have spun beyond your realm of influence. All of the messes tha...

Migration

You know, for some reason, a lot of people from deep into my past are moving to Los Angeles and I'm really excited about it. Joy has been a friend of mine for nine years and I really adore her p...


Book Description

I spend so much time bitching about how awful things are, I thought it would be nice to have a place where I could post all the positive things in my life.
