Removing Myself From Life

I sit here in my room crying as I look back on the past few months of my life. In just a few weeks I have managed to alienate myself from my friends, exclude myself from family events and almost entirely ignore my academic responsibilities. It is a lonely feeling when you realize there is […]

Inspiration from the Past

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest! if you must – but never quit. Life is queer, […]

Vulnerability As A Tool For Emotional Experience

Tonight I’ve been doing some thinking about emotions and the way they relate to physical conditions. There is something I have noticed about men who have very thick emotional walls (especially ones who have been hurt), it seems that the only way in to this shell is to do it physically.

Cured at Last

Its Been A While

Ive been off hiding from my world again, so it may take me a bit of time to catch up on blogging, but I fully intend to make 2006 a more full blog year than 2005 was. I have a lot to talk about, my classes, my hobbies, my ever changing academic situation (there is […]

New Entry to the “New Curtis Dictionary” Not Much – standard response given to “what are you up to?”. This statement is not to be taken literally, but is a placeholder responses when the present activity is determined to be not worthy of mention, or is dull.

The Stockings Were Hung….

The stockings were hung by the replica statue of David with care, in hopes that his nuts would not be too visible in the cold winter air. Making sure things are hung for Christmas seems to be the easy part of things, the more challenging is arranging a holiday event that is consistent with the […]

My event has been planned unofficially for almost a year, but officially for a few months. I have done everything short of sending […]
