What is the meaning of life?

It just feels astoundingly good to be here. It feels astoundingly good to be where I am, to have a goal of where I want to be, and to know what I need to do to get there. Everything feels astoundingly good right now.
Social Media
It’s funny how many companies think that they’re catching on to a unique new way to reach potential consumers by building blogs. Sure, hopping on social networking sites, blogging platforms, and twitter, etc., could be used to build trust with customers/potential customers, show-off and launch new products/services in a cool way, and even attract a younger audience, all in a fun and...
Religion
All this debate about religion vs. science, Christianity vs. Atheism, etc., is making me a little sick. Too much condescension going around. Come on folks, just let people believe whatever they want to believe. If it brings them happiness, who cares? Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s totally outrageous to try to shove your beliefs down others’ throats. However, I think it’s...
Another album soon...
So, I think I’m going to make another “album” for you folks, if you’re interested, while I’m back in Cincinnati. I won’t have a lot of time to do it, but I think that will make it interesting somehow. I’ll likely only have two days to really work on it, with maybe a couple hours here and there. You folks were very supportive of my first one, so I figure...

ballast
every mile on the map is a bastard, and on the brink of self-destruction, I dare say I’d pause and reverse for her just to see where the script would reel and reel I would, ‘cause of her fear lays bellied on the ballast of my heart’s ship, but I’m no longer afraid of the water it’s just… all my wishes are shipwrecked on some island, and you know sometimes the...

Bob Dylan
Anyone who claims to be a huge Bob Dylan fan but refuses to listen to anything after Blonde on Blonde isn’t a huge Bob Dylan fan.
Swallow your hipster pride and give Blood On The Tracks, Desire, Oh Mercy, and John Wesley Harding a listen.
But, also give New Morning, Nashville Skyline, and Love and Theft a listen. All I’m saying is give his later stuff a chance. There’s some...
Quitting Cigarettes.
So, I’m glad I decided to take this break from smoking. Even though it’s only for a week. I know I’m not going to smoke until I get to Cincinnati, I’m not worried about that. I decided to stop for a week because I wanted to see if I could do it. I wanted to see if I had the will-power. I also don’t like feeling hopelessly addicted to anything. And, I wanted to see...
Highlands
I want to sit down. Open a book. A book by Daniel Quinn, The Story of B. Light a cigarette. An American Spirit. Order a coffee, black. Not because it’s cool; because it’s the way I like it. Sit there reading the book and smoking the cigarette and drinking the Ethiopian coffee. I want to feel my feet on the hardwood, and know where I am. Know where I am just by the way the air smells,...
Are you seeing this?

Seeing what?
"Everyone should have a someone."
When I saw that on my dashboard I thought it said “Everyone should have an onion.”

Hey, it's fucking Thursday!
Remember how six days ago I said I can't wait...

Writing this down... (dream)
I was in… a cross between Nashville, Chicago, and Cincinnati. However, it felt like I was in a new town, and I was around a bunch of people I kind of already knew. They were showing me around, it was sunny, all was fun and fine, and I was still waiting for you to come. I was super excited, and I was hanging out in this little… courtyard thing… and then I got on the bus to go to a...
My Bob Dylan/Beatles/Johnny Cash rant:
neonstreetlight:
Ok, so I get it. Maybe it’s a generational thing. I’m not an old hag by any means, but I think I’m old enough not to be included in this delusion that if you mention Bob Dylan, The Beatles, or Johnny Cash, you’re automatically cool. But listen, just because you bought some anthology or greatest hits album to impress some boy or girl in highschool doesn’t mean you know shit about...
Twitter
I’ve been semi-neglecting tumblr ever since I got one of these, and I don’t even know why. When I get on twitter, I have no idea what to say. I don’t even think I’m interesting enough to have one. But, then again, maybe everyone is interesting enough to have one, or it’s just not about that.
I take it back, I do know why I’ve been sitting on twitter. It...
Twitter
I just can’t get used to this twitter thing. But, it’s fun. I think I suck at it, though.
Follow me on twitter.

So, I just spent like 20 minutes unfollowing people. I look at the final number — 145. Goddamnit! You people are too interesting.
I was wrong, I do still have cravings for cigarettes. I want one so badly right now. SO BADLY.
I will refrain.
I also promise I’ll stop blogging about cigarettes as soon as the cravings go away. Which will either be sometime tomorrow if that “3-day...
I'm about to go on a major unfollowing spree.
Like, huge. I hope none of you take it personally. I can’t even handle my dashboard lately.
