Reminiscing

It’s another cold, rainy day today. I’m vegging out listening to Annie Lennox. I just bought her greatest hits collection the other day.
I have a lot of memories with Annie Lennox’s music. Here Comes the Rain Again moves me as if I were still the precocious ten-year-old hearing it for the first time. I remember [...]

Downsizing

Today was a good day. I think primarily because I finally downsized my movie collection to discs in a binder, and then I got rid of what turned out to be three huge loads of useless cases. I didn’t know where to put them since the basement garbage room of the main building is often [...]

The Turnaround

An unsavory situation took place today that threatened to ruin my afternoon. It didn’t. But only because I am a much stronger person than I had previously thought myself to be. I had asked my hormone doctor to set me up with a trans-positive therapist because I was no longer meshing with the last person [...]

Student Loans

 
 

Yesterday I finally made some progress with my student loans. I had dueled with the powers that be since June about my latest application for debt reduction. It felt like they weren’t in any rush to put my application through, nor to process it. Week after week I had been told there were new complications [...]

Claude Monet

The beautiful, and serene works of Claude Monet truly touch my heart. If you look at one of his paintings you might feel like you could walk right into it. I can find myself staring for hours at one of his pieces without feeling like I’ve wasted my time. I wish I had paid more [...]

Rachel Weisz

I just finished The Constant Gardener. I think it’s a very interesting movie with a great cast. The best part of the film was Rachel Weisz. I think she’s one of the most gifted actresses of her generation. She is so incredible to watch onscreen. She really commands each performance. And she’s gorgeous. I would [...]

I think its time
to look back on my life
and share a story.

Days have been cold
And I’ve felt alone
but that was my decision.

Sometimes I’m afraid
Sometimes I’m ashamed
I’m only human.

Chorus
I have dreams
I have ambitions
Sometimes I get sidetracked
looking around me

It may not make sense
my life is confusing
I might figure it [...]

Fulfillment

I had dinner with a girlfriend after finishing my duties at the co-op office last night. It had been a long week. The administrator had been out sick, so I was filling in for her on my own. I was eager for dinner when I finished. I initially thought I wanted to get some alcohol. [...]

Small World

I finally had a phone conversation with a local trans woman who’s been reaching out to me for about a month now. I hadn’t been sure until yesterday I wanted another trans person in my life. After the horrendous parade of unstable transsexuals I have been exposed to over the last few years I had [...]

The Gnome

It’s so annoying to look for things you know are no longer in your apartment. I wish the little gnome that took all of my missing socks, bus tickets, loose change, and recent itinerary would find a new home to rob. Or a  job that pays better benefits.
Thankfully where there’s a will there’s a way [...]
