Which is a sinister thing to tell an already obsessive, loner of an Aquarian INTP. And I think she cursed me. I've always been kind of a wanderer. ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=268 I'm making my New Year's resolution early this year...since I'll be turning 30 in a couple of years and 2010 is the start of a new decade (the last one blew...hard). I bought a calendar a few months ago. I have a well-documented, almost Kantian, obsession with time and temporality. Flipping through ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=267 When your closest friends are all women life is nothing but castration anxiety. Oh sure, on our way out it begins so innocently with, "Boyz are gross..." and ends somewhere around two (a.m.) in a bile-strewn room with a kind of Salo-esque, Dionysian bloodlust. And all my parts get tossed into the ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=266 All this sunshine and good weather--it's enough to make one ill. No one appreciates quality cynicism anymore. Now it's all about irreverence and charm and cache of wit. Where did all the heroic sufferers go?

We'll see. I'll be glad to make it through the next piece and maybe chapter in Burn Pattern before my first cigarette break. Spent morning updating, checking ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=264 That's incredible--I haven't done anything with this blog since last May. Oh, how so much has changed. When we left off, I was working as a stock-clerk for a large, and dying, corporate bookseller in sunny ole Austin Texas. I'd arrived a few months earlier on a quest for fortune ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=263 Dear Customer, Recently we informed you that we were raising our Overdraft Fee and Return Fee to $39. After careful consideration of the many factors “currently impacting” the economy, our business and our customers, we have decided to leave our Overdraft and Return fee at $38.73 per item. _______ Because We ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=261 So, my life as I know it is over. I’ve been given a responsibility far exceeding my aptitude. 1) It involves counting. And since I spend all day every day alphabetizing, I know absolutely nothing about numbers. I know that when counting, one number usually follows another, except when it ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=260 Technology of The Terminator Cyborg http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=259 “Where would we even start? Things got no head.” “Take a ride through.” “Ride through. On what?” “East. Elmshire. Provost. Take your pick.” “There is no East side.” “Fucking dead ends. Nothing on this guy. Address undetermined. No numbers, I.D. Nothing. Who the fuck is this kid? Shows up in a tank, after a fire? ... http://www.thehumanchronicle.com/thehuchron/?p=258
