the way you walk and the way you talk

why, oh why, do i have new edition’s candy girl running through my head? even more bizarre is realizing that the song was released twenty years ago. 1983. i remember this being on the radio during karate class, back when i was a ten year old orange belt. our instructors kept a clock radio in

to buzz or not to buzz…

i love coffee. even before i was old enough to drink coffee — because in my house, there was an unspoken prohibition against pre-teen consumption — i loved the smell of the percolating pot. it would sit on the corner of the kitchen counter, stainless steel with a glass knob on the lid, and once

don’t be alarmed

just be calm. everything will be fine. but if you scroll down a bit and keep your eyes on the left-hand side, you’ll see something you’ve not seen before. like i said, maintain your composure and breathe normally. it’s a blogad. somebody has paid a few dollars to borrow a few square inches of my

checking pulse

breathing normally. all is well. a bit of understaffing at the workplace is keeping me busy, but i suppose that just builds character. at the very least, it serves as an effective barrier against that trouble experienced by those with idler hands, right? a week without posting. not entirely in line with my typical behavior,

a list of 100 things

i’ve seen them around. i thought i might make one, yet never seemed to get ’round to it. they’re rather egotistical, at least on the surface. but really, it’s a survey of how you see yourself and the thoughts currently on the forefront of your brain. there’s no real rule to the making, and it

friday five, take eight

only two posts in a whole week. i’ve either been busy or tired or otherwise occupied. but it is friday again and i see that this week’s five is worthy of some attention. disclaimer: my musical tastes orbit and evolve around an oddly shaped center, so i reserve the right to alter or edit or
