This one was written some time ago. I don’t honestly recall when. I do, however, remember that it was quite literally a stream-of-consciousness piece. I basically strapped on some headphones, listened to (I believe)Peter Gabriel’s album Passion and started typing away. It’s a practice I still use today to help “exorcise the demons”, if […]

like a well-placed
sword, you slipped
between my ribs
to dive into my heart
and like that
well-placed sword
you are killing me

slivered rain
strikes glass;
the tapping of
a hundred
incessant fingers.
This is the first poem of mine to actually win anything. I submitted it to The Castle, the literary magazine of my Alma Mater. It took second place. I wrote it during my first days at Wartburg College, which was a very lonely time for me. I had just […]

All aboard!!
We had a great afternoon yesterday. Yahoo! held its annual summer event at the Oregon Zoo. So, after putting a few hours in at the office, Laura, the kids and I hopped on the Max bound for a fun-filled afternoon of barbeque, exotic animals, train rides, and entirely too much cotton candy.

Consider me stoked. […]

Yesterday marked the fifth anniversary of Laura’s and my marriage. In that time Laura and I have faced more than our fair share of adversity. We have done our best to turn such things to our advantage, using them to strengthen our understanding of one another and, in turn, our relationship itself.

Yet another visit to Ain’t It Cool News has left me reeling in childish glee. Apparently, Disney has seen fit to not only re-release one of my favorite movies of all time to theaters, they’re releasing it in Disney Digital 3-D!

First off, Dean sent me this link to an Ain’t It Cool News post about an upcoming Sam “Muthafuckin’” Jackson flick titled Black Snake Moan. Now, I’ll be honest, my initial reaction that this was some parody inspired by Snakes on a Plane, but upon further investigation, this is actually looking to be another […]
