Hawaii?

Words fail me.

To quote a great scholar, "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend (it)."

I'm moving there. Permanent, like. End of this summer. I sorta have to, on principle.

Not that I don't like it here, but I've liked it here on and off for almost two decades and it's time to enjoy being somewhere else.

Hawaii...

(...bitches.)

Back in June with a report. And pictshurs.

Take care o' yoselves, ya'll.

As I say this to you tonite...

Let us not forget...

There is hope!

Bah.

*edited to say that I smoked a joint and now I'm not quite so caustic.*

Fuck this journal entry.

Suffice it to say, stupid people abound in the outside world, people will believe what they want, I can't change everyone's mind about things and I'm not going to start on this site.

I will no longer meddle in human affairs.

Much.

This music thread greatly amuses me.

In my opinion, if you're going to let something like this cause you such extreme distress, driving you to paroxysms of hyperbolic woe, you basically deserve the pain. It's only music.

I find it reassuring when music fascists (or art fascists, or film, books, etc.) tell me I'm a heathen for enjoying something I'm not supposed to, or not...

Picasso: That's why.

The sound of water escaping from mill-dams, willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts, and brickwork, I love such things. These things made me a painter, and I am grateful. -Constable

Anytime I spend a significant amount of time with my Dad in his natural environment, we always end up getting in these absolutely pointless debates over irrelevant trivia. He likes to think that he knows everything, which is sometimes in direct opposition to my actual omniscience. Case in point:

The scene: his apartment, beer in hand, flipping through the various movie channels. The remote...

I made a big decision a little while ago.


I don't remember what it was, which prob'ly goes to show


That many times a simple choice can prove to be essential


Even though it often might appear inconsequential



I must have been distracted when I left my home because


Left or right I'm sure I went (I wonder which it was?)


Anyway, I never veered;...

We interrupt this long stream of nothing to bring you... something else.



I suck.

Right when I try to get involved in something cool, something I seem to enjoy, all this other bullshit has to spontaneously decide to fling itself in my direction and cause me to duck for cover. Now I find myself in the situation where I have to put thing back together...

Success. This city never had a better ambassador/pimp as your humble narrator. As the man said, "I don't really remember what I done while I been here, but it seems like I been having fun."

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense....
