I wish the iPhone supported Bluetooth keyboards

I have long dreamed of using the iPhone as a blogging device and I do, but only in the most trivial of ways. I post pictures and tweets and things like that, not thoughtful writing.
The reason is simple. I mostly like the little virtual keyboard on the iPhone, but not enough to type [...]

Potluck

Yesterday I started the following blog entry…
Some f***ing motherf***er made caffeinated coffee in the decaf pot yesterday at work. I know this because a) the coffee tasted better than usual and b) my head feels like 1000 jackbooted thugs are holding marching drills on the backs of my eyeballs. I wish I could [...]

A History of My Guitars

And now for something completely different…
When I was in 4th grade I decided to follow in my big brother Rhett’s footsteps and join school band. He had played percussion and I chose french horn. Now, if you know me you know I am not a french horn player but rather a guitarist. [...]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Blog

Last night I was at James and Jennifer’s house and they were lamenting the fact that I haven’t blogged in about a month.  I explained that it wasn’t so much because I wanted to stop blogging as it was that it had simply become inconvenient to post because my technology patterns were different.  I am [...]

lucid dreaming

I used to write a lot of stream of consciousness stuff. I would use words more for sound than meaning, trying to get a listener/reader to perceive meanings that weren’t actually implied by a direct literal interpretation of the language used. I learned how to shut off my internal editor and just go, [...]

it’s time I got back and I don’t even know how I got off the track

It seems like I am constantly finding myself disconnected from the people I love and the community I am supposed to be a part of. I know that I disconnect myself, that I don’t naturally find myself fitting into groups and feeling drawn to community. This includes family, friends and the congregation… [...]
