I stutter so much! I used to stutter as a little boy … then I gradually stopped. I was free, except for those moments of anger, when the affliction would surface in the most vicious fashion (Ryan would call it cute when we’d argue). But I never realized it, for I was much-too-consumed with my…

Have you ever made the acquaintance of someone that leaves you in awe? He makes you feel inadequate, his suzerainty being ostensibly more elevated than yours. He speaks a multitude of languages.

You don’t even know me But why lie about me? You don’t even know me Why do you hate me? Though I have denied myself the company of humanity outside of work, i.e., my free time, save for that of two individuals who have become essential to my existence as water is to life, once…

Why is it that whenever I hear “Billy Jean,” I an immediately reminded of one the most wickedly amazing times in my life? California was nice. “Hi.” “You again?” “Yes.” “Let’s do lunch!” “I can’t, I’m going back to-morrow!” “But!” And now I am back in Santa Fe, but the weather in Santa Fe is…
