Just thought I'd share

On my way to work this morning, I looked up into the sky as the sun was rising. The way the light reflected off the clouds created this beautiful ripple effect - as if the entire sky was filled with fiery waves.
It was breathtaking.

Captain Badass

As the rest of my life has stopped hemorrhaging disaster, I'd like to publicly thank the inimitable Susannah for the recommendation of Songs: Ohia, a.k.a Jason Molina, a.k.a Guy who clearly must have been hiding in the bushes while documenting my previous relationship, taking detailed notes and then setting it to music. The actual album is Axxes and Ace. The parallels are too numerous for it to be just sheer coincidence. I've never had a whole relationship set to music before.
I won't even name any particular song, because it seems like every goddam one of them was written for this relationship at different stages.
I actually think he may be watching me now. Damn you, Jason Molina! Get out of my head!

"Such a great sinner for so small a boy"

The trouble with introspection is that it rarely leaves you time to accomplish much else, or a least much else that's meaningful.
The long lag between posts can be explained by the fact that a great deal has been going on in the Anti-Blog(a.k.a Real Life-Thanks to Matthew).When that happens, I catch the introspection bug. And when that happens, Sammy goes into Deep Isolation. Not deep as in "spiritually profound", just deep as in "I hope no one will find me in this dark hole". But I've come out, wiping the bits of sleep out of my eyes, scratching the crumbs out of my beard and blearily looking out into a world that resembles a belabored metaphor.
I'm starting to feel a little better. About everything.
