- reviewing the fat man's rules from the house of god
The House of God is a satirical novel written in the mid 1970's by a physician who goes by the pseudonym Samuel Shem. The book is about the experience of an intern physician trying to survive the rigors of the residency program associated with the mythical Best Medical School (a thinly veiled reference to Harvard.) The Fat Man is one of the senior residents in this residency program, and he came up with a set of rules that I find terrifyingly useful.

fraying and tenuous, breaking, snapping, tearing with the slightest breeze
the merest whisper
more like a dream than anything else
so that awakening came like a disaster

- she leaves with someone you don't know
I'm a sucker for these song about unrequited love and failed relationships, failed attempts at connecting. I don't remember when I first heard this song, I just remember it was while the sun was shining down upon me as i drove south on the I-15 somewhere between Corona and Temecula, a lot happier than I am right now.

I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I wanted to.
It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out
Everything I do and everything I try never turns out
It's like I need time to figure these things out - Sep 19

- the last day of summer always feels so cold
It's been 8 years since this song was released by The Cure. I remember that the first time I heard it, I felt that it captured perfectly my despair from that moment my heart shattered 13 years ago.

- when all you've got is a hammer
It's odd, but I'm starting to look at the disaster that has befallen Wall Street like something akin to a person having a stroke or a heart attack. Sure, the symptoms are most dramatic during the acute phase, and it's the acute phase that's probably going to kill you, but it's important to recognize that what a stroke or heart attack means is that this person has been sick for quite a while. Coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease don't just develop over the course of a week. It takes years of unhealthy living to get you to the point where you are vulnerable to having a heart attack or stroke.
