depression
It would be nice to have a job.
Just because stores are still opening and just because cranes are still moving downtown doesn’t mean we’re not having a tough time. I am a qualified, competent, smart person with 8 years of work experience, and I can’t even get a single call back. In a city that’s supposed to be recession proof.
How I […]
Home (away from home)
All that Google Mapping last night made me quite nostalgic. And a bit depressed.
This is where I was mugged, in Bed-Stuy, in Brooklyn. The tan townhouse, in the little front stoop area.

This is where the handlebars fell of my bicycle, I hit a car head on, and flipped into the road, and […]
It is so strange the way things turn
Here’s the moment where I start to feel sorry for myself again. I’ve sent out a lot of resumes now, over 10, and I haven’t received a single response. When has that ever happened? I used to have the resume employers died for — there was a time, as recently as the […]

It was one of those nights that convertibles were ostensibly purchased for, so I put the roof down as I turned the ignition and headed for home on the ass-opposite end of town, leaving the house of a friend. Not just any friend, but the only one I’ve truly made since I moved back […]
The morning after
It’s amazing how much energy you invest into something you don’t even believe in — that was the last 4 or 5 months for me. I need to get back to New York — I haven’t been happy more than a day or two in a row since I left 2 years ago. […]
July 2009: Photographic month in review
It looks like I was jetsetting in the insular Club Med that is Travis County, but in reality, it was one of the most difficult months of my entire life.
Monday’s sad mini-mixtape
I haven’t been feeling it, well, for a very long time, but especially today. If I could be anywhere right now, it would be in San Francisco with Nate (and walking Pete’s dog Dudley). I have been depressed for YEARS now. Years. Because I’ve been in places I know I don’t belong. […]
