sometimes my right shoulder hurts really bad
sometimes i wake up at 11am and don’t eat until 2pm
sometimes i wake up at 11am and don’t get out of bed until 2pm
sometimes i think about how life would be better if i had a sister
sometimes i think about how life would be better if i didn’t grow [...]

kirk says, after having explained to him the nature of an amusement park planet created by a highly evolved species:  the more complex the mind the greater the need for the simplicity of play.
i like that.

episode: “shore leave”


i think i’ve come away from 2008 with very few memories.  i didn’t really change positions or locations too often.  i think that’s why i don’t have many childhood memories.  i remember spending my summer vacations inside my apartment in new york.  i don’t know if i ever left until it was time to go [...]


did you not like my last note. it was sent exactly a year ago from today.  it was a bit lenient on authenticity, much like most notes i sent to you.  i was just thinking of subway cars and their inherently ballsy way of bringing attention to themselves and i thought oh, yes, that was [...]

introduction

07Feb09

i was introduced to the world
and the introduction continues.
do you understand why i have a lack of ears and eyes to open up to…
because i don’t want to move out into the world, i don’t like it very much.
i want people to come into mine
but you’d have to be willing to navigate the veins of [...]


i regret everything that happened there.  every word spoken, every action taken. everything.  it was a big sloppy, expensive, regrettable mess.
now lets have some yogurt!


i must learn

11Jan09

how to do this at home???


not settling, not compromising any values, not taking whatever i can get because of its convenience.
plain and boring, contemplating the unfamiliarity of the future, of the present, becoming more and more voluntarily detached from the past, all pasts, not just mine, but yours too.
bearing, enduring, solidify, strengthening, hardening, simplifying
out of control, unresistant, in unison with [...]


i wish my family was strong enough to walk away and turn our backs on this christmas holiday.  we don’t gather for god, gifts, or family.  what are we doing? we’d feel the relief that we’re all yearning for if we just stopped and opened ourselves up into our own paths.  a path of familiar [...]


residue

14Dec08

when will i peel away all the costumes
and what will i find: puppeteer? farmer? astrophysicists? lover of trapeze?
i’ve been bending for a while towards the language but as if i haven’t
passed through it completely.  when does this light bend again?
or can i rely on the archaic fluids of opportunity to open me into halves…
two members [...]


Dreamy Idealist (DI)
Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and [...]


Your Q Score is: 22
The Q score ideally should be as small as possible, indicating maximum agreement among elements. However, even a tiny Q score may not mean optimal functioning, since all four elements may in fact be relatively undeveloped.
Your Primary Mythical Creature
Water Types
The main strength of the Water types is feeling. The second element [...]


whoa, is that a helicopter. no an elephant.
such simple mistakes i’ve been making.  planting hard boiled eggs in soil.  drawing blood with spaghetti.  cuddling with the bones at the graveyard.  kissing hot coals.  polishing hay.  sitting on lit candles.  scooping out the center of teeth.  vaccinating the immune.
have you learned from poetry and the poets.  [...]

husk, malfunction


i want to leave behind a manuscript, an important one because in this moment, and many moments preceding this one, i feel capable.  after it is written i will go (leave the body) as i am here for few reasons, possibly just this one: to be written down in the books and set forth eternal.  [...]


my goodness, i’ve been such neglectful fingers as much has been extending in my thoughts and ambitions:
i’ve decided to go study with the artists and writers. i’ve found five places in all sections of the country. they call it graduate school. and i, so academically challenged and hysterical, must cut my long [...]


writing is difficult, avoiding figures of speech is is easy. i remember the ice no one wanted to sell me. i said to them, i’m doing vascular surgery and i need to slow my system down. there was a long pause then a long group laughter and i walked away. i [...]
