It Hardly Matters: January 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Craigslist Poetry #2 and #3*. We shared a cab out of convenience. En route to home. You stupid stupid boy. I am so mad. It's weird to miss you. Damn me and my timidness. A sign from the Universe. Beth you were right. I am not mad. I'm still here I still think of you. It's going to be my hardest year ever. Constructed from message subject lines on the New York City missed connections board. Posted by mega74 at 10:46 AM. Saturday, January 28, 2006. It's going to be a long wait.

It Hardly Matters: June 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 29, 2006. I've decided that for a last-summer-before-grad school treat, I'm buying a mediocre iced coffee from the cart guy on 56th and 7th every morning before work. It's only been about a week that I've been purchasing coffees from the cart guy, and already he knows me (a little milk, one sugar, no bag, no donuts). I love New York cart guys. I kind of wish it had been Donald Trump. Now that's an entourage I'd like to see. Posted by mega74 at 10:43 AM. Wednesday, June 21, 2006. My trip se...

It Hardly Matters: May 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 22, 2006. You Are Marge Simpson. You're a devoted family member who loves unconditionally. Sometimes, though, you dream about living a wild secret life! You will be remembered for: your good cooking and evading the police. Your life philosophy: "You should listen to your heart, and not the voices in your head.". The Simpsons Personality Test. A perfect Monday morning pastime. Posted by mega74 at 11:22 AM. Wednesday, May 10, 2006. Thirteen Ways of Looking at Writer's Block. Traced in the shadow.

It Hardly Matters: August 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 22, 2006. It's My Last Week in the Office. I've been watching clips of The Office. All day. Geniuses. See you on the other side. Posted by mega74 at 3:58 PM. Thursday, August 17, 2006. Seven Years of August Eighteenths. A cigarette is smoked. Tea is sipped. Get ready. I'm still dating L, but it's about to end. Not in some horrible way, just an agreement that the relationship is not moving forward. We're not in love. We eventually say these very words to each other at Daddy-O, ...It's fine...

It Hardly Matters: December 2005
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2005. Do You Hear What I Hear? Christmas morning at my parents' place is a time that my family and I look forward to each year. We get up early, make a pot of coffee, crank up the old school Christmas tunes (The Salsoul Orchestra's Christmas Jollies. My parents have two dogs. The elder (Princess) was adopted a couple of years ago (hence the silly name), and her nickname is " Boca Grande. The younger dog is named after a morning television personality (fine, it's Regis), is super.

It Hardly Matters: February 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2006. A Little Poem from the Vault. A full lunar eclipse. A girl in a classroom. A list of novels. How nice that these things remind you of me. Posted by mega74 at 11:37 PM. S with plump hearts until she died surrounded by a few dozen tabbies. Rounding out the group was Michelle, an exquisite, six-foot-tall black girl, who I think was recruited mostly for her looks but also to balance the power structure with a bit of sweetness. What are you doing? Posted by mega74 at 3:04 PM. This y...

It Hardly Matters: March 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 24, 2006. Mates of Awesome, or, Prenostalgia. The one thing that is getting me through these first bleak days of spring is the new Mates of State record, Bring It Back. Most of you know that I'm a huge fan. If I had written a year-end Top 10 Best Things Ever 2005, Mates would be number 2, behind Clyde. Well, that's what I mean. (Embla, is there a better word for this? If not, please add to OED. Thanks.). For that hour, we had won. Incredible. And Our Constant Concern. Monday, March 13, 2006.

It Hardly Matters: July 2006
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 26, 2006. I Just Feel Like Posting This. April, comes she will. When streams are ripe and swelled with rain. May, she will stay. Resting in my arms again. June, she'll change her tune. In restless walks she'll prowl the night. July, she will fly. And give no warning to her flight. August, dies she must. The autumn winds blows chilly and cold. September, I remember. A love once new has now grown old. Posted by mega74 at 2:02 PM. Monday, July 17, 2006. Do they have a Wal-Mart in DisneyWorld?

It Hardly Matters: April 2006

Monday, April 10, 2006. He is smiling at me! Posted by mega74 at 12:02 PM. Wednesday, April 05, 2006. A Most Complicated Month. Just yesterday, on my way home from work, I thought, I should grab my camera and take pictures of the blossoming trees on Via Vespucci. Knowing that their white petals would soon be lifted from their stems by the forecasted high winds of early April. But I got home, ate dinner, and never went back outside. Today, the air is filled with white. But not with blossoms.

It Hardly Matters: November 2005
http://ithardlymatters.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2005. The Axis of Cleanliness. Well, it's almost here. Is my debut as a totally-grown-up-Martha-Stewartesque- domestic-goddess-Thanksgiving-dinner-host. The kitchen has been scrubbed, the vegetables purchased and stored in appropriate locations (potatoes: cool, dark cabinet; carrots: crisper), the clutter of everyday life has been craftily hidden in closets, drawers, and under furniture. The unopened bills are in the hall closet under a pile of scarves. Posted by mega74 at 2:00 PM.
