A few Bullets

by Brando on February 23, 2010

1)      If I keep up with these interludes, I’ll never finish my project. But I guess the point of my project was the prime my mind for blogging, so if I stray every once in a while well then, by darnit, I guess my project is so far a success. 2)      So, I couldn’t help [...]

Project Interlude: Remembering To Love Myself

by Brando on February 23, 2010

I hugged myself as I walked down the street. I even lost myself in my haze of self-pity and shed a few tears on the bus. As I walked the final few blocks home, I felt like I was in one of those early 2000’s teen dramas – you know where the beautiful heroine has just been forced to eat a bit of humble pie and she’s walking down the street, dejected and alone, maybe there’s a little Michelle Branch playing in the background. I thought there was nothing I wanted to do more than lie in bed, cry my eyes out, and go to work the next day secure in the belief that I was meant to be alone and pitiable.

(I know I haven’t exactly kept up with my project, but hark! I do intend to write all twenty-one topics, I’ve just gotten a little side-tracked by work, a cold, and this crazy blizzard. Speakin’ of which…) Unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few days, you know that Mother Nature has decided [...]

Day 7: [Those Damn] Cats

by Brando on February 3, 2010

I’m usually a lover of all things furry (and even of a few things slimy and covered in a thick mucus membrane). Dogs rank higher on my care-rometer (yes, I actually use that term) than most humans, and while cats and I have had a love-hate relationship since I was in diapers, I can nonetheless [...]
