So today, at lunch, I go for a walk around Town Center, to Barnes & Noble and then across Virginia Beach Blvd. to Kohl’s and walk through the store and into the mall. Somewhere inside of the hobby shop that has a Lego sign but no actual Lego products, it hits me that I can [...]

This is an old blog post that I decided to go back and update. Some of the ideas I expressed here have evolved since the first writing, so I wanted to reflect that. I’ve totally removed the bit about making organized practice routines because, as it occurs to me, they’ve never been so successful. I’d [...]

There is a possible suicide jumper down at Town Center. I don’t know all of the details, but I know that he / she parked their red Mustang on the 9th floor parking garage and left their stereo blaring with the windows down (I know this only because I saw it). Cops have closed down [...]

I can’t believe that Link has a fucking front page article about Furries. I can’t believe that Furries are becoming respected as a semi legitimate subculture. In the future, Link, when you’re at a loss for a cover story and you’re about to pick the dumbest fucking shit ever, just do the story about me. [...]

Just found out that a friend of mine from Alpha Music passed away. We’d lost touch after I left the teaching staff but he also left later on to return to Winston-Salem for his law degree (which I recall was his initial aspiration before being sidetracked by music). I was indirectly responsible for his teaching [...]

I understand that Virginia Beach Central Library intends to install televisions in the main front area (not the atrium, mind you, but in the actual library) so that people can watch the news and eat and drink whatever they want (food will be allowed into the library when this change takes place).
The reason is apparently [...]
I have been trying to get Kim to blog almost as long as I have been doing it myself. She is a wealth of knowledge about a broad range of topics and, I, being a believer in the power of the internet and of the free distribution of information, think her thoughts could be enlightening [...]

Dear Virginia Beach,
Stop acting like Norfolk is so fucking far away. You jerks drive to Greenbriar all of the time. It’s not like the Oceanfront and Kempsville are right next to each other either. Get over yourselves, come to Norfolk, I’ll buy you a coffee at Elliotts and we can drive through the bad neighborhood [...]
