Human Nature

It's been a while since I've studied anthropology, but if I remember correctly, human beings tend to flock to one another for companionship and whatnot, with exception to the occasional hermit writer. It's the reason we have societies. The reason for this post? I noticed something today.
The human species has become rather solitary these days as a result of technology. We do everything we can to

So Yeah...

I can't seem to comment on some people's blogs. Sorry about that. Will look into it.

Working on a few blog posts for ya. They'll be up soon, I hope. =)

Blog Awards Abound

I woke up this morning (afternoon, really) to an email from my blog with a lovely little message that started out  as, "You're going to hate me for this ..." and that my friends, never sounds good, regardless of what follows it. I thought, "Oh dear God, what now?" and continued reading. Alas, I have been tagged for two blog awards by Adrien-Luc Sanders, whom I promptly hunted down on Twitter (@

So...the latest report on my situation. Don't worry, I'm adhering to the no depressing posts and am in much better spirits these days.

My Life in Hell – Loss

It hurts.

A LOT.
