On Friday, September 12, 2009, I awoke with a slight sensation of partial numbness / tingling on the underside of my right foot. I didn't think much of it at first, naturally assuming that I had just slept on my leg or something like that, and ex...

No more ls

2009-09-08T23:10:23Z

I don't want ls anymore. For that matter, I don't want directories anymore; I'm not even sure I want files anymore, but let's leave that one alone for now. So, before you conclude I've taken leave of my senses: of course, I don't mean just deleti...

Sailing onwards

2009-07-31T22:31:07Z

Slipping Away

2009-07-14T14:17:30Z

Drowning in the Sea of Infinity

2009-07-06T03:13:22Z

The Poignancy of Misery

2009-05-02T00:54:07Z

As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow. And as a man, I found it's all caught up with me; I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid. — Dream Theater, Metropolis Pt. 1 So if you're empty come with me, and watch the world go by; we'll ...
