Ryan, I LOVED this. I always forget how quirky you are. "Pencil: stab" what is that all about? And you sleep with socks on? That's interesting.

rufus.. i quite like him.. especially his "beautiful child". poses is nice, too.
this may be uncalled for, but i thought i should let you know that they (whoever they may be) say that it is BAD to sleep with your socks on: more prone to nightmares and heavy dreaming, that is.. but then again, some people might enjoy that. nice entry.

oh ryan,
thank you for the treatise on handling the problem of existence. Certainly the points you make are valid and I agree with them wholeheartedly. Certainly we live in the midst of a vast conundrum. Ah, that's a good way of putting it if I say so myself. Certainly the answer isn't going to be any of my sarcastic options, perhaps a fusion of all and none, and humor, and loving the details of life. Livin' ain't easy. It doesn't always seem as hard as it does in the rough spots. I'd love to catch up with you whenever you get back in person and hear what approaches you happen to be using to survive existential angst.

Yes. I sleep with socks on. Sue me. I dont have many nightmares, but I do have strange dreams. And yes, they are different socks than the rest. They have elastic around the arch, to keep my feet extra snuggly. Note to anyone who doesnt like it: bite me.

Note that I said it was interesting, not that I didn't like it. I just figured that you, like Charles, slept in your boxers. So I got this picture of you in boxers and socks, curled in the fetal position. It cracked me up. But it it makes you happy, go for it. I sleep with socks on. Well, not in FL, but when I was in Madrid I did.

i remember the sleeping socks.
i have no problem with them. i sleep in socks sometimes if it's cold. but i must admit i feel a little wierd in the mornings afterwards. my shower usually takes care of that though. and washes out all the little black fuzzies from between my toes. ( i mostly wear black socks now )

Things I think in the city on the verge of winter

Winter is almost here. You can never tell for sure at this time of the year. One day it is warm, the next it is cold. But for the past couple of weeks, the Fall has been wrestling, and losing, to Winter. The mornings start out very cold, and slowly the day starts to warm a bit as the sun comes out. But the Cold stands patiently in the shadows, hidden from the sun's warmth, waiting for you to walk into the shade of a building or tree to show you how cold the air really is and remind you to bring a scarf. Today was especially chilly. Even our apartment made me wrap up a little tighter. It also made me close some of the windows that we had wide open. Our whole building is heated with a giant coal furnace in the basement that tends to turn our humble abode into a living inferno. We balance this out by opening windows. It is a terrible waste of energy, but we have no control over the heating. I read that madrid still has over 2000 buildings running their heating off coal. It is terribly...

Snowmelt demands movement

The sun is out again today. The snow has all but melted except for in the abandoned lots where they piled it up several stories high; but even those piles are melting, leaving behind all of the grime that was plowed up with the snow and rivulets of water running towards the nearest gutter. The fact that the water reaches the drain is quite a feat. Just weeks ago it would have frozen halfway across the sidewalk... and lain in waiting for an unsuspecting jogger. But, as I said before, the sun is out now, the temperatures are up, and the ice is nowhere to be seen. I am running out of excuses to avoid jogging, if you will permit the pun. I am in some of the worse shape of my life and I don't particularly feel good about it. Those of you who have known me for most of my life know that being "in shape" was never really been a priority of mine until recently. In high school I looked for ways to do the least amount of work possible in P.E class. When we played sports, I chose t...

Blogs

I remember when I started blogging. I think I was one of the first people I know to start blogging. Dont get me wrong, it was a cultural phenomenon back 4 years ago when I began, but none of my friends really did it. And then all of a sudden a bunch of us did. We all kept it up for a while, some came and went, but I had a pretty vibrant blogging community. Tonight I found myself checking my friends blogs and finding only abandoned websites for the most part. It kind of kills a lot of the fun of blogging for me. So I guess this post is a bit of a salute to all the blogs around me during this time: So I started thinking of all the people that had blogs I liked that stopped: -Jen -Erin Kidd (though she kept it up for a very short time) -Rebecca Wood (though it seems like she may start up again) -Kenny -Evangeline -Chris Cherene Or the ones that never really started up in the first place: -Charles And then there are the ones that I wish would write more often: -Ed Rand -Aitor -Erin Davidso...
