This is too amazing for me to ruin it with my mere words. Thank you.

Mother of Imperfection : Hang Ups and Hypocrisy

I related to this on many levels. We have the weirdest anniversaries. It's why we go on dates a lot. Because we know something will goof up the bigger date.

Mother of Imperfection : No Rhyme or Reason

I can't NOT write to music. There has to be something in my head/ears when I've writing. There is right now so I can get out a coherent sentence to you. we are a lot alike

Mother of Imperfection : Deanna Herrmann: Take A Chance On Me

I've been very fortunate to have been at the same job for over 10 years and I knew someone to get that one. Job hunting is soul crushing. Hang in there. This was very well-written.

Mother of Imperfection : Did She Drink Too Much? Or....Say What You Need To Say - Writer B Is Me

roofied Is this where I tell you about the time I woke up in mexico with no pants on? 1992, I was managing a band I went to college with. They played a gig in panama city beach and it went bad. we all got wasted on tequila and other substances. I woke up on a miniature golf course in mexico beach florida, pants less, with 6 dollars in my pocket. I used it to buy shorts and walked 7 seven miles to one of the band members' hotel. ahhhh, early 20s

http://www.rageagainsttheminivan.com/ : On World Vision, gay marriage, and taking a stand on the backs of starving children

Tue, 25 Mar 2014 21:22:20 +0000

If your heart ached for the poor, you wouldn't place your bigotry against homosexuals above World Vision's great work. So, you're lying. That's not very Christian.

Rick, you're wrong on every word and every sentence of your response. 1) You have no proof that homosexuality is a sin. That your interpretation of 7 verses in a Bible written by men in dead languages that have been purposely misinterpreted. 2) You show me one gay person or same-sex couple that has tried to convert a child to their sexuality preference. Go Rock. Run a long, Scour the internet. You won't find one. 3) Jesus was more about equality than he was anything else. Read your red letters, sir. He would be horrified at your picking and choosing which organization to give your money too based on your poor choice in political leanings. 4) The fact you would even consider taking money away from World Vision based on bigotry is more of a sin than gayness. Shame on you

The Insomniacs Dream : Writer\'s Retreat: Dear Mommy Blogger

Thu, 6 Feb 2014 00:24:36 +0000

ha, perfect Great stuff, Liz When I started my current blog, in 2010, I got asked several times by "daddy bloggers" to post. Since there are like 12 dudes on the internet who blog I felt obligated and needed. Like you, I'm not a mommy/daddy blogger. I'm a writer. And I'm crazy. If I planned my posts and massaged them into a niche or genre then I wouldn't have ever signed into the web to begin with. Great post, cheerio and pip pip

The Insomniacs Dream : Life is Hard if You\'re a Nerd

Tue, 21 Jan 2014 00:57:33 +0000

Yeah, it's weird. There are way too many people on the medias that are social with bios that say how much of a nerd they are. Some of them are lying. I used my wit and limited football skills to avoid being shoved into lockers but I was never cool or "in". The fact we write so much AND put it out there is proof of our nerdom, right? yeah, weird.

we are also more responsible and more likely to write reasoned, thoughtful concert and album reviews online to well connected places and thus help them. Nice list. I hope some of the right people read this.

you're a writer and that need to open your veins onto the screen will overtake any attempt to be a "successful blogger". Yes, there's a difference. I tried to get all bloggy and trendy a couple of years ago, got readership up and I felt like a fraud. I like my low number of readers (about 100 a day) and community of friends and colleagues like you. we're a lot alike and I'm glad you're around to read & enjoy

When I was 10, so same age as my middle girl, I was bitten by a fruit bat, When I didn't become Batman and fight crime in Gotham, I just got pissed off. The rabies shots hurt like a beeyatch. Glad to meet someone as crazy as I am. *fistbump*

I'm really digging your "On The Road" anthology. I think Jack Kerouac would too.

I wrote on our family vacation to DC in june. My wife and kids just rolled their eyes and mocked me per usual. Sounded like a cool vacation.
