“I can’t believe I’m talking about this with you,” she said to me. We had just met, after all, and already she was sharing thoughts with me that you’d normally save for good friends. It’s funny how open you can be with a total stranger once you learn that you two share a common loss….

Nobody’s Fault But My Own
Right now as I’m typing this entry, I could have been out with my work friends, watching Return of the King for the second time. That film, by the way, nearly had me in tears, it was so moving. Or, instead of a movie, I could have been out drinking with J (my Brett Ashley,…
We’re Miles Apart, Me and Her
Dude, why is it that the cutest girls I meet are usually wholesome, churchgoing Christians? It’s not as if I have something against them. In fact, I’m under the impression that quite the opposite is true. I never feel “good” enough to chase after a nice Christian girl because I don’t think I could ever…
In Conversation with an Old Flame
“I hate men. I hate relationships. By their very design, you aren’t allowed to be happy in one.” I said nothing. “Tell me you’re single right now.” “I’m single right now.” “Tell me you would fall in love with me if I lived up north.” “It’s a distinct possibility.” “This isn’t an honesty question you…
On Feeling Human Again
It’s been far too long since I’ve known the touch of a female’s soft embrace. I’m not talking about hugs, because I get plenty of those. And I’m not alluding to any sexual conquest, either. I miss the closeness of holding a girl and falling asleep with her by my side. Last Saturday, thanks in…
A Tribute to Her
Here’s to missed chances, those quick and inadvertent glances that always seem to happen just as the other is looking your way — and to silence and mutual understanding, to knowing everything but daring not to acknowledge a single word of truth to the other. Here’s to lost love, the things that could have been,…

Wish You Were Here
It was a glimpse of intensity, but only a glimpse. She left my life just as quickly as she came into it. There’s so many things I wonder about her. Maybe they’ll all reveal themselves in due time. Just maybe. I’m giving up on her for now, because there’s no point in getting worked up…
Toss it Up
Summer has officially gotten better. Good times.
You Can’t Live With Them, and Yet They’re Everywhere
I can never tell when I’m on a date until it’s too late. Good God, am I really that oblivious, or are females just that confusing? It’s a bit of both, isn’t it? It seems like the only girls worth having are the ones that I can’t have. Maybe it’s just my finicky, discriminating taste…
