A Eulogy (of Sorts) for John Paul II
I keep thinking I should write something about Pope John Paul’s passing, and I’m really at a loss for words. My feelings are somewhat a reflection of my deep ambivalence about my faith these days. On the one hand, I feel very proud of being a Catholic, and I am very passionate about the Pope’s…

Distraction After Distraction
My apologies to everyone who has been waiting to hear news from me. I have been swamped with stuff ever since the last entry. As many of you know, I am now married to the wonderful and beautiful Jennifer Sara. We’ve been at it for over 6 weeks now (since June 14th), and while living…

Here’s a New One…
To add to the list of strange places where it occurs to me to write a diary entry, I’m at 30,000 feet on my way home from Cleveland where I was on vacation with Jennie and her family.

Why Doesn’t He Write?
I was contemplating why I almost never write in my diary anymore, and I think it’s pretty simple – I never had a soulmate before with whom I could share all my anxieties, hopes, frustrations, desires, and dreams with. Now that I have Jennie, and as we’ve grown even closer in the last year, I’ve…

Oh Yeah, I Forgot – I’m Depressed!
So I forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry how I was feeling in general. I went to see the doctor a couple weeks ago, the same day as July 2’s entry. The doctor confirmed that I was depressed – in fact, severely depressed. He said the fact that I hadn’t been feeling suicidal was remarkable…

Some People Call Me a Space Cowboy…
(yeah) Some call me the gangster of love… I have no idea why I wrote that. It was just kind of running through my head. I don’t think I should go up to Greeley on weeknights anymore. I’ve been a zombie pretty much all day. I went up to watch the Kings–Avalanche game (the Avs…

A Girlfriend? Really?
So I’m sitting here, watching the first game of the playoffs for the Avalanche, and they’re tied 4-4 with the Vancouver Canucks. I can’t even believe they’re having this much trouble – it’s insane! Hopefully they’ll pull it together in the next few minutes, here. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, what with choir…

You Like Me! You Really Like Me!
Funny how after months of inactivity, I suddenly have so much to write in just two weeks! Life does that, though. My problems with the Mazda were getting on my nerves so badly that I decided to borrow the money for a down payment from my folks and buy a new Volkswagen Jetta about a…

Life Is Good
Oh, man… how do you even apologize for not writing in over 3 months? I don’t have even the limpest of excuses. I mean, I was out of contact for three weeks while I went to Italy at the end of July/beginning of August, but yikes! So much on which to catch up my reading…

Homesick for Oklahoma – Who’da Thunk It?
Man, over a month since the last entry! It hasn’t been entirely my fault, though – the server wasn’t making my home directory available for upload the last two weeks or so. There’s been a bunch to write about, but now at this time of the morning, I probably won’t remember most of it. The…
