The Turn

Is there anything like a tree? More lovely in death than in life’s greenest leaves?

The Lines

I walk unevenly. My steps more erratic than the cracks in sidewalks. They follow the pattern of closed eyes and land irreverently, shifting upon the foundation of a curved Earth. Shirking timing my heart beats between replacing the second impact with a rest. (two, three, four) If there is a path, if I have found it, can you promise, swear to God, that the stumbling the swerving the toes out of...

The Asphalt

Jesus my lungs burn. My legs ache. (knees, calves) And turning my feet doesn’t help. What’s it called again? Right. Pronation. I think my pronation is off. That being said, impact has not been a problem. No, I’ve always been able to absorb and move on. Tuck and roll, dodge and weave. Resilient cartilage. But, really, how long does that last? We all get old. I think...

The dusk

I was happy to run into you this evening. You were coming in as I was going out. West. You leave much sooner these days. There is this hill. Technically, it is a slope on my approach. On my departure it is a hill. Regardless, I am split on how I feel about this hill. Yes, thanks to this hill, I am faster. And yes, thanks to this hill, I am taller and we visit longer. But you leave much sooner...

The New

I need to write more, basically. I mean, I write all day long. That’s my job. I work at a newspaper and get paid for producing long lists of words. Most important to least important. If you wanted to order them via dropdown box. No, I need to write more about me. That being said, my Tumblr long ago went dormant. TextEdit died. But now it rises. It’s got a new name. It’s...

Last week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales before he delivered a lecture at the Ferguson Center on the University of Alabama campus. Extremely nice guy and we actually had enough time to sit down and talk about everything from how he got started to the future of print publication as an online medium. (Please excuse how awkward I look sitting there. Jimmy...

Wisdom from a dog I've never met

For the past month or so, Don Miller and his dog Lucy (who you see above) have been churning out some of the most insightful and poignant blog posts I’ve ever seen. Don is an author. He’s pretty good too. He’s the guy who wrote Blue Like Jazz and most recently, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. He also started this great organization called the Mentoring Project. Needless...

Why Jimmy Fallon isn’t a good talk show host. Seems like a really nice guy, but more than a year after doing this show he still stumbles and stammers through interviews. It’s just uncomfortable to watch. Luckily Jemaine Clement is in this clip so it’s still funny.
