Summer of 210000 Words

“I’m dumb because I have a brain tumor. What’s your excuse?”

October 28, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

I just got home from spending an evening with some neighborhood friends who were in town for the weekend. We were catching each other up on our recent woes. In years’ past, our misery this evening would be centered around the rival St. Louis Cardinals being 3 (now 2) outs from winning another World Series. […]

Jesus, Etc.: “Two, Two Chords” or “Tuned to Chords” (It’s How Things Stick with You)

July 8, 2011 By Finn 3 Comments

“Jesus, Etc…” by Wilco. Divine song. It came out in 2002 and everybody thought the song was about the 9/11 attacks. Truth told, it was written and recorded before 9/11. In fact, in my opinion, the grief becomes misplaced in the song if you think it’s about 9/11. But it’s how things stick with you. […]

Holdin’ on While Goin’ Down the Rabbit Hole

July 5, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

One of the hardest things I grapple with when dealing with them Books of Blues is the fine line between moving forward & holding on. How can one go down the rabbit hole when they’re still holding on? Where was the line? Was there a line? Can you do both? Or is it an Either / […]

Life Springs Eternal: The Importance of Emotional Crashes

June 30, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

I spent the last few days summarizing the emotional crashes in my life. I talked about the one that happened when my work project hit. Then I went on to point out other crashes: the one when the pirate ship left me, the one when the girl I thought was going to be The Girl […]

Dixie whistlers & the roses that grow

June 28, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

On two occasions I crashed harder than the great crash of September 2003. The second one was a year before in September 2002. It started on the 23rd. A Monday. I went to get up and go to school and I couldn’t get out of bed. And then I couldn’t get out of bed on […]

The time we 6-ironed my lucky charm goodbye before starting our shift

June 27, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

Then I jogged up front and pulled a Smokey Robinson for the next few hours. I still text her on her birthday. If you know my phone number, you know what day that is. Update 2019-01-03: Not anymore. A few years ago I texted. She didn’t reply. Then again, I switched phones and didn’t have […]

Luckily, I’ve gone through this kind of thing before

I had a crisis of faith when the Google Panda 2.2 disaster hit my project. But it’s not my first Googley-Woogley issue I’ve dealt with. I do this for a living. The fact that everyone in the industry is going through uncharted waters together for the first time in years helps. Now I’m waiting on […]

Stormed So Loud That the Roof Caved in

June 24, 2011 By Finn Leave a Comment

A week ago, Google updated their indexing algorithm. The change was codenamed, “Panda 2.2.” The changed initially gave my project a 50% uptick in traffic. Today, It Took It All Away & Then Some A 95% dip in traffic for the project. I sat paralyzed in bed for a couple hours. 4, actually. It felt […]
