Pre-Pride
Spending the weekend here in Seattle has reminded me just how much I’ve missed this place. It’s loud, dirty, there’s a lot of homeless people, and it’s outrageously expensive to live here. That being said, I think I’m going to move back. 50 Is staring me down – 43 days and counting. I’m single, my […]
Cruising
I would be lying if I said the last couple of months haven’t been difficult. I’ve had to step outside of my comfort zone and place myself in situations I would normally shy away from; mainly, socializing. To most people I come across as an extrovert, but I’m really just the opposite. Stating that, I […]
With a Little Help from My Friends
Day one in Seattle. I left Leo sleeping and got up at 6:30 AM and walked down the block to Starbucks Reserve on Pine & Minor. This is fast becoming one of my favorite haunts and it’s a good place to people watch. I got here right before the mad rush at 8:00 AM and […]
The Red Heart Crumpled in the Side
I slept a good 14 hours last night and am feeling on the mend; however, this fucking cough is becoming a serious drag. I knew today was going to a long day, but I didn’t expect to be on the road over 7 hours. It was all good, though; I was able to stop in […]

Knitting a sweater can best be compared to a brief romance, 2-3 months in duration. There’s the excitement of finding that special pattern one wants to knit. Next is […]
Snotmeggedon – Day 6
… My head is bloody, but unbowed. William Earnest Henley “Invictus” I think one of my enemies has a voodoo doll of me and has been dunking it’s head in green goo. Today is day 6 of having this cold from hell. I decided to risk being a pariah to my co-workers and come into […]
Hunter is a Sick Bear
I called in sick today. This cold has moved from my throat into my chest and sinuses and I’m one hurting unit today, but I still got up at 5:00 AM. I should not have pushed myself so hard over the weekend; I think I may have overdone it and made myself sicker. Bed rest […]
Feeling Under the Weather
Expecting to do lots of manual labor this weekend, of course I would come down with the mother of all colds on Friday and completely lose my voice all weekend long. I tried to get as much of my belonging packed and moved to the garage, but after two days of effort, I was only […]
10 Years to the Day
It’s amazing what can happen over 10 years. This day back in 2009, I was in San Jose, CA, with my ex, Ryan, going to see Nine Inch Nails/Jane’s Addiction “Waving Goodbye” tour. Ryan had gotten us access backstage to the concert and we got to meet Trent Reznor and other members of NIN and […]
