Most of my blogs seem to start out with, “its been a while hasn’t it?” This one started out with “most of my blogs seems to start out….” which is in fact totally different. But not by much. Not too much has transpired in the life and times of Nate Claiborne, except for the now…

Its finally time to resurrect the bulletin point blogs. Quick note, the new Radiohead is amazing, so the first album you purchase this year should be In Rainbows It was really nice when I got back to Dallas, smelled like spring even. But that changed rather quickly. I did a lot of reading over break,…

So here we are, another year has gone by. Overall this has been a better year than some in recent past, as far as years go. To illustrate, here’s the rundown of the past years of this decade 2000: Technically this year was the last of the 90’s, but am I typically the kind of…

It seems in some ways I am writing a few days behind my thoughts.   For instance, the last entry was conceived of several days before it came to fruition, and again, this entry reflects thoughts from earlier in the week.   Maybe its better that way, you know? That way, I don’t write stupid,…

Just in case anyone was still in suspense, Metal/Mexican Monday was re-instituted; actually effective last week, which although I failed to mention here, was quite an amazingly refreshing day despite the rain (or maybe it was due to the rain and cold). Anyway, if you are to new to this, next Monday just remember to…

There’s a great scene in High Fidelity where John Cusack has records strewn all over the floor of his apartment. Its obvious he is organizing them, but when asked how by his friend, he reveals that he is organizing them autobiographically. Apparently, I’m not the only one that does this, but I seem to group…

Its been a while (since I’ve listened Staind), but I think its time for another top ten list. These used to be rather frequent, and it is time again for them to emerge to the forefront. Bullet point blogs used to also be in vogue, maybe I’ll bring those back someday. Anyway, I’ve been thinking…
