Vitriol

Toxic struggles - manically scrambling at the surface - a roiling dance of grasping limbs and gaping mouths.

Haiku of the Day:
Poison in the lips
I spit burning mist at my
grim adversaries

Baked

Managed a second day in a row of 50 push-ups! It's invigorating to dig into oneself and continue to find water when the well appears dry.

Haiku of the Day:
The soft of this heat
lulls one to a slow death; baked
in a clay oven

Coming Out Veg

Made another 'bout of 50 push-ups and did some work around the house in preparation for a visit from Emily's mom.

We've draped a blanket over the TV in hopes that we do not remove it for the rest of the month.

We've also gone vegetarian after reading the wonderful and enlightening book, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. We're making this shift in a move to combat, in what little way we can, the unethical and vastly ecologically destructive effects of the meat industry. I have no qualms with the act of actually eating meat if it comes for a sustainable and mindful source, though I'm finding it harder to track down any valid arguments. I know this is unpopular and tough, and we have only "came out" about this to a few people for that reason. Often vegetarianism all on its own is perceived as an attack to other's lifestyles and the few people I have told have responded with defensiveness of their own eating habits and mild ridicule. I'm excited to develop some tactics to respond to these reactions. Any suggestions would be helpful!!

It Speaks!

Time to break radio silence.

I've been enjoying some time away from the often oppressive responsibility of this space with mixed results. Some days I feel it was too much and other days I feel it was a necessary valve; a place to release those pesky savages that grate and gnash away from my city gates.

I've also been working up some projects: I've got a couple shows now that I'm working on where I have a role in creating both written and devised content and am currently hashing out ideas for a humble comic with my younger brother Will. To top that of, I've started the seriously daunting task of finding new employment.

Also here are a few of the things I've completed so far:

Date #1:

Campfire on the beach with hot dogs!

Date #2:

Chinese food outside!

Home Improvement #1:

-Made our oven level!

-Cut shelves for the TV/Kitchen Island!

In the future I'll try to provide pictures for these because pictures are pretty and provide more solid evidence.

Haiku of the Day:
Swallowing poison
puts the liver through hell fire
such slick alchemy
