It’s pretty amazing, the song “The Sound of Silence”. I’ve always really liked it for various reasons, especially the visuals the lyrics provide. Even the “alternate lyrics” versions we came up with in Mixed Company at Prospect High School (I’m looking at you, Anne.). I’m not going to lie and tell you that the last …

25 Years Ago(-ish), I Started College
Around 25 years ago, in late August 1992, I started college (erm, university for you British English speakers out there). It’s a right-of-passage many Americans go through every year when they’re 18, and I’m sure there are many stories about how that first year went for a great many people. Maybe my experience was unique, …
Living In The Here and Now
I originally wrote this blog in May 2016 but never published it. I’m not sure why I didn’t, but here it is, updated slightly. Over the past few years I’ve written about emerging from a period of suffering from the dissociative disorder known as depersonalisation, the result of a lifetime full of anxiety and a …
My 40 Year Love Affair With Star Trek… Is Over
Anyone who knows me knows my love for Star Trek. As a child, I remember my parents introducing me to Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Bones, and the Enterprise, these complex characters and graceful-looking starship soaring from planet to planet. I think some of the weekly aliens scared me, especially when they flashed them up at the …
Anne’s and My Humour
So, I saw this Internet meme about Star Wars on Facebook today: Of course, my morbid sense of humour finds this hilariously funny (even though the 3 year old me seeing Star Wars in the movie theatre is terrified beyond belief). What happens?
1995: A Turning Point in My Life
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Part of me feels I should say I’m sorry but I’m not sorry. A lot of shit has been going on in my life, and I’d like to hope most people would agree that real life takes precedence over a blog or keeping others entertained. There’s a lot to …
Geez, That Was Quick; I’m Engaged!
Okay, okay, I know everyone is expecting me to talk about some wonderfully romantic proposal Noel made to me on a beach in the South Pacific somewhere (at this point, I am waving my hand in the general direction of any island near New Zealand, which could be in any given direction), but it didn’t …
Anne DiCosola Can Also Be Blamed for This One…
This was the original song I wanted to post, but it wasn’t an official music video or him and his band performing it live… Never mind!
Please Blame Anne DiCosola for Me Liking This Song
(I couldn’t find a useable YouTube video for the Cow Song, Anne. Sorry!)
Friendship of Ages
First I apologise if the formatting of this blog is a bit different from my normal ones but I’m entering this blog from my iPhone in my parents’ lounge while construction workers are installing the granite bench top in the remodelled kitchen. Maybe the epoxy fumes are getting to me; I don’t know. Our friends …
