Fascinating stuff. It’s interesting how the people who fuck us up the most can be thanked for, eventually, allowing us to be happy.

Thanks for the glimpse.

These are the posts that when I´ve been procrastinating and letting my reader pile up with posts I´m just so glad I opened it.

Takes guts to share this kind of stuff. I´m still not ready to post about the really deeply painful experiences of my life. I write them and then I feel like my words nowhere near reflect the crap I felt at the time and it just ends up sounding kind of stupid. Yours gave an honest glimpse into your past and especially how you´ve built on the past experience to find yourself where you are today. Some people can´t do that in a lifetime and spend forever lamenting the shit that happened to them.

Thanks for sharing such a personal post.

Oh, my free friend. This is a helluva tale. Thank you for sharing it.

This is the kind of writing I admire. There are too many nuggets of beautifully-rendered reality to pull out and highlight. You done good, my friend.

Don’t be afraid to go here on occasion. This works . . .

Ariza – Woo hoo! That means I’m wiser than you!

SSG –

JChev – I’m rarely TMI. In fact, if you asked the lovely Dr. O’C she would probably say I’m NEI.

Mongola – Yep, that about sums it up. Except that Dr. O’C and I aren’t married.

Chris – Didn’t sound like that good of a sandwich anyway.

Vixen – Next time you’re in Adelaide, look us up.

Canuck – No doubt. Music has gotten me through most of the tough times in my life.

Jason – Dwight Yoakam and Marcus Aurelius in the same thought – well done, sir.

April – Singles, huh? As long as I can be Matt Dillon.

Cats still suck.

That is quite a narrative, I almost feel like it was a story they edited out of Singles.
And you really should get over this cat thing you have, they can be pretty awesome. I’m insulted on my cat’s behalf

The incomparable Dwight Yoakam:

“I heard you swear your love this morning,
and it caught me almost wanting to believe.

Three little words should be my warning,
that say it’s just a promise you can’t keep.”

It’s good that you appreciate this woman now, Marcus Aurelius writes that the good and the bad are part of the same divinity, and work together like “the upper and lower rows of teeth.”

Hey, at least you gained by losing The Posies.

Even if that was the last personal bit we hear in a while, it was worth it.

Seriously, I would love to attend your dinner parties!
