It's all in my mind: August 2006
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Apparently, I talk too much for the people over at italk2much.com. I asked to be reviewed, and mine was posted on Sunday. My template is boring, and for it, I received zero smacks. I'm apparently entertaining, but "way entirely too fucking long." So, no smacks, but two stars. In other news, I got The Polyphonic Spree's Together We're Heavy. Both are awesome and fun and make me want to dance around. Wee. Posted by jess @ 4:24 PM.

It's all in my mind: February 2006
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Wednesday, February 15, 2006. What's in a word? A serious discussion about race has been a-brewin' because of that teacher . Of course, since I'm biracial, I'm qualified to make broad, sweeping generalizations about both black and white people, so I'm joining in. I've always been a fence-sitter about black people saying nigger. Among black people, the word nigger means so many things. A compliment, "that's my nigga! Why, but at least the respect is there. Richa...

It's all in my mind: Spreadin' My Wings.
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006/08/spreadin-my-wings.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Tuesday, August 08, 2006. I decided to make a blog where I share my attempts at writing fiction. I have countless beginnings, middles and endings to stories, but nothing complete. They're are all handwritten manuscripts, stored safely away in boxes and a torn up folders from high school. I'm going to get over myself, and finish at least one story. Let me know what you think of these things I create. I can't grow if I don't throw myself out there.

It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Photographic Evidence: My Mom is a Nutcase - Vol III. Oh, these fancy mansions. Cardinals are such show-offs! Tsk tsk, Martha. This is a very diverse area, cowbirds live right over there.". Oh Harold, look! I wonder if partridges live there? I don't think partridges really live in trees, dear.". Pfft You think you're so smart. Why would they sing about something that wasn't true? These are lovely, aren't they, Martha? Howls at the Moon.

It's all in my mind: Saturday In the Park.
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006/08/saturday-in-park.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Sunday, August 20, 2006. Saturday In the Park. My brother James calls up, impatience coloring his voice, "Where are you? I'm halfway down the steps now." I forget how close he lives by automobile, and I always think I can run back and get one more thing, and oh! I forgot my Carmex, do I have my glucometer, I should bring some sunglasses. He's always downstairs waiting before I'm ready. Does he give a crap? Why are people so fucked up? We're heading to another c...

It's all in my mind: I Crack Myself Up
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006/09/i-crack-myself-up.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. I Crack Myself Up. The other night, my new friend came over, and we were progressing to some intimate contact. There had been music playing in the background. I don't normally care about background noise, since I'm usually focused on other things anyway. But, the music ended while we were still in the beginning stages, and the silence apparently bothered my friend. He asked me to put something else on. I put on dead prez. Apparently...

It's all in my mind: January 2006
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Under the Influence of Nyquil. I truly thought I'd be wallowing in depression right now. I thought that I'd be unshowered and unhinged. Sure, I have a playlist made with Beck's Sea Change and Ani Difranco. And I've smoked so many cigarettes on top of my chest cold, it feels like my lungs are bleeding. But I'm not unhappy. Sushi rolls for breakfast, lunch and. And it's sorta nice.

It's all in my mind: March 2006
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Tuesday, March 21, 2006. I ran out of cigarettes the night before last. I quit because I can no longer afford to smoke. I didn't really want to quit, but I figured I might as well. It didn't feel right calling my brother and asking him to support my habit. My breath is minty fresh though. I heard that it's good to brush your teeth whenever you want to smoke. That seems to help. Coffee just isn't the same without a smoke. What do nonsmokers do after they eat?

It's all in my mind: Cure for the Blues
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2006/08/cure-for-blues.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Tuesday, August 08, 2006. Cure for the Blues. My brother, a blunt, and America's Funniest Home Videos. . . I was in quite the funk today. I'm not going to lie, PMS played no small part in that. Stress, lack of sleep and worry rounded out the experience making me a miserable mess. I think the last time I cried this much was shortly after I was dumped. Watching some show on motorcycles. . . I just got home. What's up? Can I come over there? What, yea, are you ok?

It's all in my mind: The Art of Suspension
http://jess-mind.blogspot.com/2007/04/art-of-suspension.html
It's all in my mind. Diary of a 50/50 baby. Thursday, April 12, 2007. The Art of Suspension. I figured I'd put bits and pieces of my work here. The following is an interview with my informant, the guy who's been amazingly helpful in this whole thing:. Justin is a professional body piercer on Milwaukee's East Side. I went to his shop on a Saturday afternoon to do observation, and since it was quiet and he had no customers scheduled, Justin suggested we interview then. I reach to press record as he tells m...
