  • Monsters

    My wife and also my xanga readers probably think it’s obvious that I’m not entirely happy, but that doesn’t keep me from being in denial about how unhappy I am. And what this does is that when I make small strides in an…

  • Sell Your Soul, Live on the Edge

    It was suggested somewhere recently (forgive me that I don’t know the source) that artists have to live on the edge in order to be great – and by the edge I mean Amy Winehouse strung out on drugs edge. It’s easy to see…

  • Like Steinbeck

    It takes too long for my computer to boot up. I want to open it and start writing when I’m ready. I don’t want to wait. That slows me down and skims off the top of my already tight profit margin. But its up and runni…

  • Be Happy Part II

    I’m not too big on New Year’s resolutions, who is as we age? We know the truth, which is that you don’t need a new year to make a change, and if you haven’t already made it, there’s nothing about January 1st that’s goin…

  • Boring - revisited

    Next time I’m bored by someone I should treat it like I’m looking in a mirror. “Oh my god, I’m boring.” It’s just math. Boring + boring = boring. Boring + interesting = interesting.Interesting + interesting = compet…

  • Simple

    I try to convince myself that it's complicated, that I am complicated. Sounds a hell of a lot better than simple. Sounds mysterious, James Dean like (he’d be like 100 years old if he was alive now – well ok maybe 75). …

  • Change - Not Good

    Change is not good. They have changed things here where I write. They removed my favorite high top table and the remaining high top is too far from the outlet, and the chairs on the lower tables aren’t the same. I do…

  • A Spiritual Quest

    John has been musing on the topic of religion and science and on whether they can co-exist. I consider myself a rational person. Not a scientist per se, but I accept science. I don’t fight it. I am also on a spiritual…
