I so wanted to see you as a nun. Got stuck on the other side of town at the Now and Zen festival - which is code for "my girlfriend dragged me to this concert" based on some of the guy's expressions.
Billy Idol cancelled, but I sang along to an acoustic set from Duran Duran. Such a beautiful day.

Thanks for the encouragement. Your story reminds me of so many of my fraternity "brothers" in college. I thinks it's terrible. And the single guys like me with something to offer get chastised for being a good guy. Yeah, something's wrong there.

whoa - that is too scary. women cannot really like that? I mean, what kind of women like that? chicks on myspace?
where was my invite to your benefit?

really there is never a good time for anything i think.
everyone seems to want to pull back, hold off.
until the "time is right."
until they "have worked on their issues."
until their life is together, their ducks in a row.
listen fuckers. life is in session. the time is right now.

favorite descriptive phrase from invisible monsters:
"...driving the way you can only drive at two-thirty AM in an open sports car with a loaded rifle and an overdosed hostage."
or my favorite piece of philosophy from the same palahniuk novel:
"Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make...

I read that book recently. Palahniuk is amazing. I read Choke immediately afterward. Also, Perv, which was mind-boggling. There is an amazing book called Look at Me that you should definitely check out if you liked Invisible Monsters.

hey there. It's true, in fact, that I spent Labor Day not-laboring. I actually remained horizontal on my sofa most of the day, recovering from a gruelling family reunion where I discovered that many of my relatives from Ohio smoke, most are alcoholic, and luckily lung cancer does not seem to run in the family...
most weekends I manage to get in some intense relaxation. I really suffer from inertia, If I am moving I can't stop on my own, and if I stop I have trouble starting again.

i really need to stop parking my vehicles. first the shiney shiney new lx 150 gets knocked over on a curb by some sweet, but somewhat blind old lady, putting a nice 10 inch crease in the right cowl (3 weeks and $1200 to repair, owch). and now, i wake up to find that some grocery store worker, on her way into work, falls asleep...

god have i been melancholic the last few days. really, no more romantic comedies after bedtime, they give me existential heartburn.
but speaking of romantic comedies, if you do find yourself at the arclight, be sure to check out the photographs downstairs right now. i have to go back and check the name of the artist, but she doesn't use models, but she photographs so...

so i wonder about this thing called love. and i wonder if it really exists anymore, if it ever did. i sure know that what we are sold...well i know that anytime i have to be sold, their has to be something slight of hand, some kind of rip-off. sometimes i want to believe. i want to buy in.
but i dont really buy the...

I was just reading a book and read "if we didn't feel the great emptiness and loneliness there would be no need for love to fill it." I never thought of it that way before, but when I feel my life is really full it's hard to fit love in. It's nice to reach a stage in life when you can finally see that maybe you don't want to be alone forever.

what a great quote.
it reminds me of a story my mom told me, about her first date after my parents' divorce. after telling this guy about all she had been through, he asked her if she thinks that she will ever love again, and she replied, "of course, i have to have love in my life."
and i guess i am coming to that stage of life you refer to. and i'm scared of it honestly. i'm scared of putting the heart out when so much love seems to fail these days. when so many people seem to be focused on the bigger better deal. when we seem to change so rapidly as individuals. and yet there it is. this desire to share a life with someone.
it sounds so cliche and barfy. and adulty.
