A Barrel of Nelsons

I wasn’t going to post today. I’ve nothing eloquent to add to any of the statements being made.
And then my mom called me at work…
Crying so hard that I didn’t recognize her voice…
My grandfather died today. My mom’s daddy.
I’m going down to C-bus tomorrow… Jeff’s in Houston, preparing to weather the hurricane… I feel very [...]

On Thursday, one of the guys in my graduating class died. From what I’ve heard, it was a heart attack or some other heart issue. He was 23, and while he wasn’t a close, personal friend, or really anything more than a general acquaintence, well, it’s something that’s got me shaken. I remember him as [...]

Unfortunately, I’m not coming here today to be up beat. I’m coming because I’m dealing with [...]

Man, I should learn to think before I blog. Because really, anything with “Stalker” in the title is probably something that might freak people out.
Sometimes I realize I sound like a gigantic twit.
And I spend time wondering why I don’t have friends?

I’ve got nothing much to say.

I have a wicked bruise just above the elbow on the inside of my right arm. It hurts. I believe everyone was saying it looks like it’s from hitting the steering wheel.
