Distance From Myself and Those Around Me

I have posted a lot of entries on this blog since I began in August 2004. Some entries have been deep insights into the deepest points of my emotions, while others have been just examples of things I have found funny, or interesting. Recently my blog has become more of a show-and-tell of my life. […]

A British Tar Is A Soaring Soul

This song has been stuck in my head for the past few hours and it won’t seem to leave. — A British tar is a soaring soul, As free as a mountain bird, His energetic fist should be ready to resist A dictatorial word. His nose should should pant, and his lip should curl, His […]

Missing Life

Why do we look back at yearbooks, old pictures and other items from our personal histories and feel depressed or excited? Those of us who become depressed likely do so because we remember the times when things were better in our lives, or we had a better understanding of ourselves, perhaps more hope for the […]

Distancing Myself From My Favorite Aunt

It’s been a while since I’ve written about anything emotional, but there is something on my mind that I just must write. When I was young, I used to spend many summers with my aunt, not just summers, but also Christmas break, Easter break and any break I could find to be around her. My […]

Punishing Others for My Mistakes

I have the capacity to make others miserable. I can hurt people emotionally with a simple glance, turn of my body and turn of my mind. I use these abilities all too often to get my way with things, or to deal with situations that make me uncomfortable. The one thing it seems I am […]

First Aid

In the absence of other exciting news in my life, I am happy to announce that last Wednesday, September 12, 2007, I completed the requirements of the American Heart Association to become First Aid certified. So, there is my big news for the month, I am licensed to use band-aides.

Internet Pizza

The Internet has changed many thing in our lives, some for the worse, some for the better. I once thought that the only reason I didn’t like calling to order pizza, either for delivery or to pick up, was because I was nervous with the phone conversation portion of the process. Last Saturday I placed […]

Excellent Service From The USPS

I received my latest Galls catalog today in the mail inside of a clear USPS bag. Here is the label from the bag. I was already pissed at USPS this week because they managed to not follow simple instructions (scan a SCAN form to expedite tracking), and in the past few months, general mail delivery […]

General Status Report: May 26, 2007

I haven’t really blogged much lately, I guess I’ve been too deep in so many other things. First off, with the help of my friend Chris I have been able to get my garden going the way I want this year and I’m hoping that it actually produces something. Last year was sort of a […]

General Status Report: May 26, 2007

Hello and welcome to my blog. You might remember me from some previous time? My name is Curtis and I like to learn things, I also enjoy playing with clay and watching things grow in my garden. I get easily excited by my choo-choos and there isn’t much that feels better than sitting in a […]
