Somewhere Between Obscurity and Oblivion
  From The "Its a Rough Life. . ." Department:

Click on any link to read about where I was and what I was doing at that time. Not every day has a journal entry, just those days that I had something worthwhile to say.

A word of caution: I don't proof-read my journal and rarely spell-check it, so be prepared for typos and things that don't make sense. I'm not really as dumb as I sound.
