I’ll be gone all weekend, so a two tiered post.  The first is a recipe I made up that I really enjoy.  The second is my new bad habit for Fridays.  So, if you’re allergic to eggs or hate food, scroll on down to the bottom to see this week’s ad.  Also, since I’ll be gone, feel free to make your own awesome ad for the Antholgy here.  Link it in the comments. One: Ingedients: 4 eggs.  One small green onion, sliced (discard most of the leaf).  One clove garlic, sliced.  On... Read Full Story

One of these things is true, one of these is mostly true, and one is not true at all (in no order).  The last is directed at no one specifically, not beautiful you. Something: You warned me, anonymous probable daily reader of my blog.  Yes you.  You warned me about her.  I wrote it off as jealous bullshit, and honestly, I’m not sure that was not your motivation.  I have no faith in human charity, so jealousy resides in the realm of logical motivation to me.  However, I owe it to you.  ...

I should point out one thing: I hate people making judgments on me by what I write.  Do not assume you can armchair psychologize any of these pages and even come out half right.  On one hand, I am incredibly more sane than any of this writing makes me sound, on the other, I got patches of unheard of crazy I have yet to mine.  So, don’t do that.  Also: I have been posting newer John Pine stuff (on the sidebar, scroll down).  Now, I know what everyone thinks when they read it.  And you ar...

I woke up hearing rain on my windowsill and a few drops hitting my head.  Even with the gray overcast, I can say that things looked good.  Had a couple emails from some nice people I can write to.  My guitar looks good and I feel ahsamed for neglecting her (again) for another woman when just one of those train tickets could have landed her in the luthier shop getting nipped and tucked and refretted.  I am a bad husband. I got up to sift through my growing pile of semester related papers, foun... Read Full Story

Have you ever woke up from a nap completely fine and over shit? It has been a great afternoon. It took more than 16 days, but thank fucking God all that is over. things make sense again and all is more or less stable. I apologize for being such a bitch. It was really not that big a deal, looking back. Shit, grownups have to be ready to get some teeth kicked out once in a while. More important than that over dramatized, beat into the ground subject that covered all of last month, I wrote ... Read Full Story

Sprang for an mp3 player. It’s not an iPod. Thank you. The routine: Reveille: 0700 Breakfast: Two scrambled eggs. No toast. One-half cup of coffee (aggression issues have been previously noted) 0800: First thought of drinking. Do not. Class: 0900 0950-1200: Study, bullshit with MA, walk Mabel, load mp3 player with the entire RATM catalog. Also load NWA, Motorhead, Blitzkreig, Queens of the Stone Age, Jimi hendrix (the loud ones) Lunch: Pot roast w/ astd. Vegetables frozen ... Read Full Story

March is not my favorite time of year.  The biggest problem (I’d say a good 75%) this Month was the fault of a woman. Obviously.  The other 25% is equally shared between having to deal with another five year anniversary and the four year (doing mental arithmetic), yes, four year of a painful parting of ways with a former spouse.  Yet another casualty of being a passionate youth.  Anyway.  I have not been fully sober or not hungover in a month at this point.  Everything sort of went to ...
