Harry: Billie Jean is stuck in my head.
Me: Is... it... because... she's not your lover?
Harry: That's probably it.
Me: Followup question. Is it because she's just a girl who claims you're the one?
(pause)
Harry: I do not know why I bother telling you my problems.

My goal for 2012 was to write something every day. (That sentence originally had the word “meaningful” in it but I took it out; that would have been an awful goal.) Keen-eyed observers will note that I haven’t posted a single thing in three weeks. I’ve been beating myself up over it pretty hard without making a single stride to correct it.
The truth of the matter is that...
This is just practice.
I don’t want you to hurt, I don’t want you to sink, but you know what I think? I think you’ll be fine.
I couldn’t even make it into the car before I started sobbing. My hand was on the door handle and all I could think was that the second I was on the other side, it was over. We wouldn’t see this city, these people, this life for at least another year, and when we did, it would...

Also, your life is in Delhomme's hands. Good luck.
We kicked 2011 to the fucking curb and brought in 2012 in the greatest way possible, surrounded by friends who largely would not have been modified as “best” on last New Year’s Eve. People I can’t imagine not having in my life. For as awful as this year was - and I swear to you, parts of it were really, truly awful - 2011 is going to be remembered as that year where I made...

Thankful.
Last year, I wrote a very long-winded post that’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever written; a list of everything I was thankful for. I went back and forth about what I should write this year, because all of that stuff is still accurate. I considered not saying anything at all, but that’s just not like me.
It’s been a humbling year around these parts. I left a job I...

My body thinks in kilometers. My mind only knows how to comprehend miles, and my bike computer certainly does too, but my body? It wants kilometers.
When we rode to Santa Cruz, there was one awful breaking point where I really thought we weren’t going to make it. Where I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I couldn’t imagine one more goddamn hill. We were 25 miles from the end...

How to be unemployed, week four or is it five
Get little to no sleep. You’re unemployed and there is no reason for you to be up at nine in the fucking morning, but do it anyway, even though you laid in your 85 degree apartment until the sun rose thinking about how unemployed you are. Refuse a nap for the first few hours of the day.

Here's what being in love actually looks like
me: holy shit, it's a goddamn windstorm outside
me: all the plants just got knocked over and I lost the watering can... somewhere
harry: stupid
harry: not you, wind.
harry: also, I wasn't referring to you as wind.

I don't need a bumper sticker to remind me
I’m a writer; I write. I write my way through just about everything. I prefer to write when I’m happy; I’m not all that good at writing when I’m sad. I write a lot of words and then I delete them. It’s about the catharsis. I write spectacular paragraphs that don’t connect and then I just wipe them out. So I won’t be writing about September 11, 2011 all...
