It is important to me
That you know
The only thing I ever wanted
Was to be able to show you
That the truth
And what is real
Can be very different things.
- from Short Poems For Something Lost (Fall 2008)
My confidence shaken
my pride has been taken
I thought I could trust them God
I guess I was wrong.
Please tell me why God
I've been waiting so long?
- from Prayer (Spring 1997)
"At some point, between buying $100 worth of Jameson shots (Palomba & Co. killing bottles of mediocre whiskey everywhere we go since 1999) and trying not to ogle the pretty girls someone drunk ended up saying something that was actually pretty poignant, we drank to it. And then we drank to beautiful women, questionable sexuality, ceiling fans, and finally boobs.
It still all seemed remarkably dignified."

"You know there's that moment, where everything slows down. Where it's just the two of you. Where the whole world is nothing but the space between you and her. That moment where your eyes give you away, and your very voice betrays you. That moment where you say the things you never meant to say. I'm afraid I've never had that moment."

FADE TO BLACK (Winter 2005)
"So here we go...staring down the sunset and wondering what's next. Wondering where I'm going when I'm still trying to figure out where I came from. I've done it before and I'll do it again. I'll write about today... It was a good day. Not spectacular in any particular way, but pleasant in every little way. He said the right things, saw the right people, and when he closed his eyes at night he knew he'd done right by the world...and the world had done right by him. It was a rare day, of the sort that makes life worth living."
