It was his birthday. You should know that he has a thing for birthdays. Who knows why? Birthdays have a certain resonance for him.
It was his birthday, and this time she was going to break tradition and give him something to remember.
He was in bed, sleeping the sleep of a great bear, [...]
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one person to assume the station of Monday writer for a nonalignment pact, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to such folly. In truth, I am somewhat/very reluctant to assume this [...]
I wish I could say that I spent the plane ride home from paris and the layovers therein writing this nonalignment pact post, but I didn’t. I’m sorry!
This week will be a placeholder with some links that I will write more about next weekend after things have calmed down.
The conference I [...]
“May you live long enough to look back on your regrets and see them as nothing more than what they really can be. Mistakes that can be turned into damaged and funny stories told amongst friends.”

In song, David Thomas pleads with a girl who goes by a thousand names to sign his nonalignment pact.
That’s like an agreement to disagree isn’t it?
The offer doesn’t hold much promise as far as relationships go.
No hold out for actual alignment. Only the threat of total nonalignment.
At night he can [...]
I think it’s interesting how there are people in the world of music that will float just beneath your radar for many years and then suddenly pop up to the surface and finally grab your attention. My latest addition to this club is a Canadian metal guy named Devin Townsend.
I know that me [...]
This is my last regular post for the Nonalignment Pact. It’s been a good run, but it’s probably been obvious for the last couple months that the well is running dry in all senses: my reservoirs of time, ideas, passion, and inspiration. So it’s time to step down and let some fresh blood in. [...]
does anyone else have a space that they use for recording, mixing, rehearsing, living, sleeping, cooking, laundry drying, composing, entertaining, and live music performing? if there were a way to transport you all here to see this space, i would, because pictures and video don’t really do it justice.
