Your 2005 Song IsFeel Good Inc by Gorillaz "Love forever love is free. Let's turn forever you and me." In 2005, you were loving life and feeling no pain.What Hit Song of 2005 Are You? Your Musical Tast…
My First Day Went Well, Thanks!

So, I survived my first day on the job. And it went pretty well, I think. And thanks for all of the encouragement! I wrote about 30 community events for the newspaper's community events calender. And I wrote about e…
First Day!

Today is my first day at the new newspaper job! Yay! I'm dying of curiosity -- what will they have me do today? I guess I'll find out shortly. My standing hours are going to be 9:30-6:30, M-F, so for awhile, I'll be…
Almost Done!

Hey kids! I'm almost done with Retreads! I've got over 120 pages and I should finish it today, or at the latest, tomorrow night after work. And I guess I still need to ask someone to write the foreword for it, and th…
Frustration

Well, my Tennessee Vols just lost at home for the first time this season. 73-69 to Arkansas. The thing that makes it frustrating is, we had it in the bag. I mean, we were up by 14 with eight minutes left and even tho…
Well, the UT Lady Vols cruised last night, beating Auburn 81-56, bringing their record to 25-3! Unfortunately, LSU also won, meaning they just won the SEC conference championship. *sigh* Oh well. Both UT men's and w…
Go Vols!

Last night, I watched my Tennessee Volunteers (men's) play #9 Florida at Florida on my computer (thank you Yahoo!). The first half was ugly for us, with turnovers and bad defense. Yet, Chris Lofton hit four 3 pointers…
Wow!

Mom fights polar bear to save kids playing hockey.
Ugh!

I got this from a thread on Zoetrope: The six-figure sophomore How Kaavya Viswanathan got noticed, got an agent,and got a monster two-novel contract By David Mehegan, Globe Staff | February 22, 2006 …
Wow! Thank you for all of your encouraging comments regarding yesterday's posts. I really appreciate it! So, work clothes.... I have six pairs of khakis I need to get altered. They're too baggy! Meanwhile, I have f…
Big News!

Big news on the job front!!! I was just offered -- and I just accepted -- a position in the news room at the local newspaper, The Brunswick News! I start a week from today. They wanted me to start this week, but I ha…
EDIT 3:22AM: I can't get any freaking sleep tonight! Yesterday, it was 76 degrees and we had the air conditioning on. Today, it is 48 degrees and we have the heat on. Strange. Good way to get sick. Yesterday, Jen …
Ugh! Internet problems. First, I couldn't get online at all. An outage here, I found out. Now, I can't get onto Xanga on my PC. I'm using Jen's Mac, and it's fine. Why in the world won't my PC load any Xanga page,…
YES!

Well, I was right about the UT Lady Vols last night, against #13 Georgia. It was ugly, folks. U-G-L-Y. 14 first half turnovers. Mistake after mistake. Without our point guard, we looked like a middle school team ag…
Oh No!

Well, this wonderful season for the Tennessee Lady Vols may as well be over now! First, we began the season ranked #1, but undermanned. Then, about nine games into the season, one of our starting guards, Sade Wiley-Ga…
Well, I hope everyone out there at a lovely Valentine's Day! We had a nice time together last night. We exchanged gifts, and then went out for cocktails at Marsh Point. Then, off to JMax in the Village for a very nic…
Happy Birthday Jen!!!

To my beloved wife, Jennifer: Happy 35th Birthday and Happy Valentine's Day!!! I love you SO much and am so grateful that you are my wife. These past few years with you have been among the happiest years of my life. …
So, I caved. I went to see Brokeback Mountain yesterday afternoon. And, generally, I loved it. I thought it was quite moving. However, the first (and only, I guess) sex scene between the men struck me as not very au…
I found this article about me on the Web last night. Funny, I hardly remember being interviewed for it, but obviously I was. Not a bad piece.... It's strange. I often use Yahoo! instead of Google (call me old fashion…
So we did not win the lottery last night. Poop! Well, I made pretty good progress on my book of essays yesterday. I'm halfway done. At this rate, I should be completely done and ready to submit queries to publishers…
Well, I'm nearly finished with the new book of Bukowski poems. I must say, after a bitterly disappointing start, the final quarter of the book is shaping up well. Not a complete loss after all. Still, I'm pissed at B…
A three legged dog just hopped by my window. AND, I just finished reading Lisa Zaran's new book manuscript, which was a wonderful read, and wrote a back cover blurb for it. I hope she'll be okay with it....
So, as it turns out, my Uncle Les is dying. Up in Iowa. His organs are shutting down. They expect he'll be dead by this weekend. Dad's older brother. It's very sad. My parents are planning on flying up to Minneapo…
4:26 EDIT: "The striped shirts didn't cause tight end Jerramy Stevens to drop four passes. The striped shirts didn't cause the Seahawks defense to give up a Steelers first down on a third-and-28 situation (which la…
The Steelers are Super Bowl champs, baby! It was as I predicted: a tough, gritty game. And my scoring prediction was a whole lot closer to reality than so many others I had seen. Steve Young said on tv yesterday that…
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WORLD CHAMPION SUPER BOWL WINNERS -- THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!
Jen's glamour shots yesterday seemed to be a waste of her time. They spent 15 minutes on her hair and makeup and then threw a boa around her neck. She had brought an outfit she wanted to wear so she could get a pictur…
Wow. Troy Aikman, Reggie White, Warren Moon, Harry Carson, John Madden and Rayfield Wright were all elected into the NFL Hall of Fame today. I can't remember the last time the full allotment of six was chosen. I'm a l…
The Super Bowl is nearly upon us! And the Steelers have a problem. Two actually. For one thing, Joey Porter keeps shooting his mouth off, thereby no doubt inspiring Seattle. Thanks a lot, Joey. Second, Troy Polomal…
I shouldn't even be on the computer right now, as there's a fierce storm going on outside. I think it's only going to get worse too. This morning, I filled out the newspaper paperwork, typed up a thank you letter, stu…
Okay, today was the big day! I had my newspaper interview this afternoon. I met with the managing editor for quite awhile. It seemed to go very well. Then I met with the city editor, who was concerned that I am gros…
