  On Belonging James wrote thoughtfully and wistfully two days ago: The memories of standing on the street late at night surrounded by laughter from friends left me with a message that I had thus far not thought about emotionally: that this is a community in which I feel I can be myself. After spending so much time...

  Scott Galloway with… relationship advice? I really really enjoy pundit Scott Galloway (@profgalloway) and his newsletter today he  shared this critical relationship advice. It tracks with what I’ve learned, for myself through mistakes, through therapists, and through personal reading. It’s sharp, as all his writing typically is: Don’t keep score. It’s human nature to inflate your own contribution to the...

  Fat Tuesday, Gird Loins, Wabi-sabi Yo. So Mass today was good. The homily was about Grace. Grace as in that “hand of God,” possibly last seen inspiring Jules Winfield in Pulp Fiction. Or maybe dropping down and bopping me on the head to go to Mass on the morning after Leah announced that we should be separated. I was comforted....

  Bruce Sterling Got Married There’s not much on the internets about the marriage of my hero, Bruce Sterling, author, blogger, design instructor, and speaker to one Jasmina Tesanovic. This is a peculiar bit of news I first heard word of on boingboing and confirmed the next day on his own blog. I read his blog, and his Viridian list,...

  Grades Last week was busy and rough. I’ve been quiet and busy, and successful and unsuccessful. I spent my entire Saturday the Saturday before last working on a take-home test for my Statistics Class. On Dr T’s Math Pages you can see the results. I got a 92 for my efforts. I’d have preferred a 100,...

  Current Important News: VideoChat! Divorce! Life! Onward! I got an iSight today. Talked to my sister and boss and even Dori Smith and Mathowie – it all worked well. Except my Dad and Mom’s connection is messed up somehow. We’ll figure that out. Just checked the mail, and I received my “NOTICE OF ENTRY OF JUDGEMENT” from the Superior Court of California,...

  Life is Real So. Last year the sh*t hit the fan in my life. My wife left me and everything turned inside-out and backwards and it all hurt like hell. (Everything is healing nicely, thank you) So when all that happened last year, something interesting happened. I kept blogging. I said: I’m at a loss right now as...

  A Year Like No Other So it’s been a year since the separation began that shook my worldview to its foundations. I was not what I thought. Everything changed. My marriage collapsed. In that time I’ve lost 85 pounds. I’ve fallen in and out of love. I’ve discovered I am weaker than I thought I was. I’ve discovered I’m stronger...

  Religion Yesterday my girlfriend and I spoke at length on the subject of religion. I came to realizations about how I think and what I am about. I am not throwing any of this in any faces. This is what I feel, and what I believe for myself in how to live my life. She is...
