Journal Archive

If facts and trivia are the Who and What, these journal entries fill in more blanks by adding Who Else, Why, How, and Huh?

My "electronic journal" began as a text document. Soon, certain sites offered weblog services (a dream come true for an express-yourself-through-writing type like me), and so I signed up for one. And then another. And then another...

By and by, I collected the contents of all those blogs in this archive and filtered them three ways for your perusing pleasure: 1) Subject Line, 2) Categories, or 3) Date Range.

1) By Subject Line

The list of entries by subject line offers a hint of the topics in each date range.

2) By Categories

Lines of thought, data sets, or recurring themes

abc's: assorted blog clips · aiming for the sunny side, even in the rain · crush, flirt, flee · fan pilgrimage to LA · feelings (nothing more than) · follow-up · haiku, I do · hodge-podge · how not to talk to your waitress · if this is love, I'll take spaghetti · interview with the webmistress · letters · tribute to my dad · notes · notes: FYI · notes: webmistress · workin' for a livin' · a year in review · Quotes · Reviews · Reviews: Books · Movies · Music · Television · TV and movie scenes I like · too long to twitter · my websites

3) By Date Range

For a somewhat random experience, select a date range from the list in the table below. Or, start with the first page and click [Next Entries] -- at the bottom of the page -- to continue through the pages in order.

CAUTION! CONTAINS OPINIONS! These entries provide snapshots of my experiences and feelings at specific points in time. Please don't extend these glimpses to draw negative conclusions about who I am today, or -- even worse -- exit angry, never to return. Before you become offended, unfriend me, try to sue, etc. please, let's start a discussion.
Some pages have details "footnoted" at the bottom, for when I mention someone out of the blue or use my cryptic version of shorthand.
In all of my (over)explaining, is something still unclear? Check the list of definitions, or use the contact link below and ask for clarification.
