The posts I have written for my primary site, Sheepshead and Other Stories, have been broken into 19 categories. The links to those posts are each within a post on this site. Here is a break down of the categories and links to the specific posts.
9-to-5 - Have to earn a paycheck, right? I love my job and sometimes I will write about my day at work. These posts have increased in frequency since I was promoted to a management position.
Apartment Living - Stories about my living arrangements and former roommates.
Back to School - I am going back to school online.
Car Talk - Automotive adventures. (Not updated frequently.)
Creepy Crawlies - I don't like bugs. Why do they come near me? (Infrequent postings.)
Dark Tower Obsession - I like to read, but I mainly read Stephen King. The Dark Tower series is completed and these posts are about my experience waiting for and reading the stories. (Not many posts.)
Dating 101 - I am inept at dating. All my past relationships (and the one I'm working on) are completely humorous.
Family Life - Stories of my mom, my dad, my extended family, and our family pets. My mom is crazy. Consider yourself warned.
Going to the Movies - My thoughts about some different movies.
Growing Up - Stories from my youth. Some stories are just from the past and I look at them as a way to grow and mature.
Human Rights - I believe all humans are created equal and deserve the same basic rights. Sometimes I get angry at discrimination and oppression. Also, I put some of my political views here. (Not too many posts.)
In the Spotlight - Karaoke is a large part of my life. I go every week with DM and we have many adventures. (Updated often.)
It's the Portie Way, You Know - DM and I travel to Portugal to meet Johnny IRL
Lyrically Inclined - I love music and I will use song lyrics in posts or sometimes just talk about songs I like.
MEMEs and Quizzes - Internet quizzes and surveys.
Photo Op - I love to take pictures and scrapbook. This category includes links to pictures I've taken with my digital camera. (Rarely updated.)
Pool Hall Junkies - In my "younger" days, I was a regular at a pool hall. It was a way for me to try and be a "rebel". It didn't work and I no longer hang out there.
Sheepsheadian Files - This is the category for things that are not easily categorized or referenced.
Support Group - It's all about friendship. I have the best friends I could ever want.
T.V. and Me - I don't watch much T.V. This is why.

The Old Apartment, The New Apartment, and Random Roommate Stories
During the summer of 2004, I moved. I now have my own place and no longer share a flat with Adam, my best friend and former roommate. These are just some posts I've written about moving, my new place, and roommates of the past.
Science or Plans to Kill Me? - A post about what Adam left for me
Broke into the New Apartment - I moved (did I have to re-explain that?)
Update to my week of vacation - I took a week off to move and it was ending. Boring post.
Haunted - A Joke about odd events in my new apartment
Home, Sweet Home
These next two posts were from when I was not feeling too happy with a former roommate: Lost Post & Unasked questions
Okay, I guess I was upset for longer than I remembered: Narcissism & Bloody Brilliant & It Gets A Bit Better
My First Apartment and First Roommate: Hippy
Newer Posts: I Just Saw the Raisins, Okay? & Coming to Terms
Purging: I'm Done With it [Full Stop]
Current Apartment: Sounds
A story of appliances: To Clarify
Current Apartment: The people upstairs may possibly be on meth
Current Apartment: More Noises

Two Hour Escape
I love to watch movies. I have a pretty extensive collection of DVDs and I will sometimes share my reviews on different movies. I tend to write about movies most people have not seen, mainly because they are the movies I think should get a little more attention.
