I’m on a posting YouTube video/sharing songs I like kick. For the past few years, I’ve been tagging general life posts either “The State I Am In” or “Small Figures in a Vast Expanse.” There is a subtle difference between the two. Sometimes, I don’t even know the difference. Typically, SFVE is more introspective and [...]

I’ve mentioned many times before how much my maternal grandmother affected my life. From birth to kindergarten, every day while my parents were at work and Theresa was at school was a routine of shadowing her as she read the morning paper, watched the noon news, read the evening paper and watched the evening news. [...]

Yesterday should have been my 10th anniversary with Renée. We remember this date better so we moved it to that officially on Facebook and we’re just going to stick with Feb. 13. On a related note, Van Morrison has been stuck in my head for a few days. Also on a related note, I want [...]

There was a second reason for my stop in Hopewell last week I’m going to have reasons to go to Petersburg and Hopewell for years and years but that trip was it in the sense that, beyond friends I have made, that the trip has anything to do with journalism. It’s just weird that, after [...]

This is one of my favorite songs. I’m glad that Patrick Phelan uploaded his song to Soundcloud because I’ve been wanting to share it since I first heard it on WRIR. I can’t tell you exactly when it was but I know it was a Saturday during River City Limits. I thought it was in [...]

I went to Richmond for my weekend. It had been almost a month to the day since I moved to North Carolina. Because my weekends are radically different, I’ve renamed days so I won’t forget to go to work. If I didn’t do this, I’d wake up tomorrow, realize that it’s Saturday and not go [...]

Today is my Sunday. This was the first full weekend I spent in North Carolina where everything wasn’t torn up and crazy and all. Basically, this was my first normal weekend since Dec. 2. This is how I spent it. I was up late Monday night talking to Renée because we talk at night due [...]

If you read this directly from exit265c.com, you see the anti-SOPA/PIPA banner in the right hand corner. When I was the editor of a newspaper, I would have written an editorial on it and explained why I was against the acts. Now that I’m a worker bee, I almost feel that this is inappropriate but [...]

I did the entire local section myself today. It was my first time. I almost freaked but then I remembered that I have been a journalist for nearly six years, I have been doing pages for two years and I’ve studied design for many fives of years. (Fact: I sketched out a newspaper with a [...]

So far, so good. Because of my trip to New York this weekend that was scheduled well before this rigmarole started, Monday/Tuesday seems like the day I will get my bed unless I can get same-day delivery before 2 p.m. Thursday, which I doubt. I was going to go the used mattress route but most [...]
