I don’t make new year’s resolutions. One should resolve often; whenever the mood strikes.
This has been the first year my dad hasn’t seen. I resolve to remember you.
I resolve to be kinder, more sincere.
More vulnerable.
Open. Not about myself, but open to other people. Open to possibility. Open to things changing and each moment being an opportunity.

Sometimes when I’m feeling down I watch The Proposal. It reminds me that if I work really hard, someday I might be able to bribe one of my employees to marry me.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
And even if you, like me, do not believe that Jesus is the son of God, and even if he was, wasn’t born today, I hope that you take a cue from the pagans who for years and years before the figure we called Jesus was born take this time in this darkest,...
moefaux:

This is wonderful sentiment. I can’t wait to see you, pal.

musings about home
I’m lonesome here. And cold. As if it’s not enough to be one, coupled with the other, I am just an uncomfortable wreck here. As if perhaps I was warm my solitude would be refreshing, and if my home was brimming with laughter, the cold would be bearable. Alas, this is the position I find myself in.
As I drove the lonely stretch home, after depositing my troubled brother, so immensely...
