Last night I dreamt that as I wandered through a resort with my friend Corey I passed a shop window that featured illustrations of a presidential candidate who had my name and looked just like me. After a long search through many of drawings that featured me, I found the artist’s name: Thobias Lee. I [...]

What I Read at the Laundromat Today
Posted in Reviews, tagged essays, montaigne on January 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
That’s Michel de Montaigne. I call him Mike Mountain. Today at the laundromat I finished reading his Essays in their entirety, a project I started over a month ago (it took too long). He was the first person in the world to ever write what we recognize today as essays, and he was the first [...]

Cold!

The temperature here in Missouri has been low for the last couple of days. For example, right now, it’s eleven. Yesterday it was lower than that, so I didn’t go outside most of the day. I stayed in, read some things, and hopped around the apartment for exercise.
Then, this morning, I went out when it [...]

Yesterday I was featured on a blog: http://cuteboysmakemenervous.blogspot.com/2009/01/rob-missouri.html
What does it mean, when you’re featured on a blog for having a nice face on the same day that your face develops an unsightly rash?
Even more nightmares

Last night’s dream found me on a bike ride across the interstate bridge in Wheeling, West Virginia. Someone rode up on a motorcycle and knocked me, my bike and his motorcycle into the Ohio River. Then when I arrived home I was living with people I have never really met, and the police searched my [...]
More bad dreams

Last night I had a dream that SW and I were being attacked by potted plants. They were killing people, somehow. We cowered, but I managed to fend one off by tearing away at its leaves.
Then, after a couple of other nightmares, I dreamt that I was in an airport, on my way to Missouri [...]
Fight!

Last night I had a dream in which I had to fight two men simultaneously, for no reason I can recall. I knew I was outmatched, and one of them wore a goatee. I was frightened, so after trying to punch one of them but having no effect on him, I withdrew my pen from [...]

Last night I dreamt that I went to St.Louis, with some other people I can’t remember, but St.Louis didn’t look the way I recall it looking whenever I’ve driven past it. It was an elaborate maze of dangerous walkways extending over chasms, and I was continually attacked by angry little creatures. As I slept, I [...]
2008: Year in Review
Posted in Prosperity on January 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Now that 2008 is over and 2009 has consisted of little more than a headache, nausea, and a decision to never drink again which will be repealed probably in the next 24 hours, I’m compelled to look back on the last 364 days (I do my best to never think about February second – what [...]
