I lay supinely on the couch, sipping the final third of a palm-warmed beer, and mulled over thoughts that, over the last few years, had become very familiar to me. Long ago I came to the realization that loneliness would forever be a part of me and, soon after, decided that I should embrace it…
I bought a pair of ridiculous pants and they are the ridiculous pants of my dreams. They are very tight with great stretch and the sort of shine that shines late at night, which is the time of day they should be worn.
In the store, I began comparing pairs of patterned tights wondering which…
Remember when I watched Catching Hell and said I was going to write about it? Well, here you go.

Totally unrelated to the rich world of coffee but definitely deserves a mention i: Yasmina Reza’s play God of Carnage. It is about time a “darkly humorous”(Kathryn Greenaway, Gazette) play sets foot in Montreal and, according to the press, this play is bound to have spectators rolling around…

Location Valencia, Venezuela
First Post March 2009Jonathan is a 23-year-old systems engineer from Venezuela, with interests in physics, astronomy, and aerospace engineering. Jonathan’s obsession, he readily admits, is with the cosmos. His thousands of posts about space, astronomy, astrophysics, and space exploration (and particle physics, quantum mechanics, and cosmology) seem to prove his point. To help aid in the navigation of all this material, he built a special page on his blog which breaks down posts by galaxies, nebulas, black holes, exoplanets, telescopes, every planet in our solar system, the Kuiper belt, and even more. (He might also post something Star Wars related from time to time, too.)
