I get a little uneasy each year when poetry month starts because it’s also April Fool’s Day. Because most poetry is no laughing matter. Though it is good to start things off with a joke, to ease the tension. Or build some confidence with a laugh.
I don’t have a joke for you, I’m afraid. I [...]

Hello Outside World,
Our Internet went down here at work. And seeing as how we are a web site, this makes it kind of difficult for us to function. SOS. Smoke signals coming your way.
Is this what life was like before the Internet? I can’t remember.
Go iPhone.

Franny and Zooey 2010

There’s no way I’d let Salinger’s death go unnoticed in my life, so I’ve begun to read Franny and Zooey once again. Last time I read it I was but a naive college kid. Let’s see how I view it now. Not that I’m any less naive necessarily. In any case, I should read it [...]

Millions of people across the country will be parked in front of their TVs today. Will you be one of them?
And please don’t tell me your one of those people who isn’t into football. It’s football! Besides, it’s about social gathering and eating junk food. Consider it the extra holiday after the holidays. Enjoy it! [...]

So I got a haircut yesterday. If you’ve seen me in the past two years, you’ll know that I’ve got this rooster frock, this big silly old overcompensating duncecap of a quaff. Well it had to retire. It was time for a change. And I’m glad.
I used to be really sensitive about my hair. [...]
Farewell, Jerome David Salinger

I’ll never forget my first encounter with your work, reading Franny and Zooey in college, wondering why I had waited so long to find it. My subsequent fascination with the Glass family. My love for Holden goes without saying. And little sister Phoebe who was the only one who understood him.
You’ll always be a legend. [...]
ATTN: Broken-Hearted

A year and a half ago, I was a super emo kid.
Part of my dramatic misadventure through heartbreak included perusing the relationships aisle at barnes and noble, forced encounters with strangers on the street, and even getting drunk at home off my brother’s trifecta of shots (one of which was a very nasty-tasting ginseng liquor).
One [...]
Depressed much?

So there was this article, “Secondhand Blues,” in the October issue of Psychology Today about how socially contagious depression is among friends, acquaintances and family. Of course, since it’s psychology, it’s your parents’ faults. It’s always your parents.
But seriously, it intrigued me enough to summarize and write about it. It spoke about how parents, depressed [...]
