when does comedy turn to irony? is it a twinge of sadness? a turn in luck? what doesnt have a bit of sadness to it? at least anything worthwhile? even happiness has sadness in it.

Ive got more stories than the Bible,
Hit harder than Coyote whacked with an anvil
The most boring still more exciting
Than your most dangerous peril.
If I told you Id be leaving you haunting
Your life is nothing, open your eyes,
Wide like a girl with her first menstrual cycle.
Listen up, or too late youll realize
All the history youve slept on

I'm definitely not stuck. I'm heading out somewhere. Just trying to figure out where.
wow! there's an oreo commercial with a cute little asian boy and his grandfather. since when has tv started using asians not named margerat cho and sandra oh?
i thought i had this brilliant idea: putting hidden microphones at every table of a chinese restaurant and having someone listen and then write a very personal fortune cookie by the end of the meal. but then...

I'm glad you liked the pic in my journal, it was from my flapper burlesque routine.

That commercial is adorable. But I still hate Oreos.
You know I really do like to fight. I thought I would grow out of it. But I haven't. I enjoy it. I really do.

what if one day you realized you had become everything you didnt want to be? that you had sold out, that you were boring, that you were no longer what you had been, or worse - what you aspired to be? what do you do when you look in the mirror and see a monster grinning back at you? what do you do when you...

you take small steps to reclaim yourself. the first one is the toughest. but it gets easier after that. you just can't lose faith that you can be better than what you are.
hell, i feel the same way. i've been feeling the same way for years. and i have been waiting. until one day i realized i had to make the change myself. or itherwisw i'd be waiting forever. so i'm trying. real hard. to go forward.
small steps. but at least i'm moving.
more later. after coffee.
much love.

Difficult is an understatement. I think what makes it worse is that the women in my family (not that there are very many, which is part of the problem) tend to be very meek and complacent. Which I am just, not. I never have been and that is and has been at the heart of my continuous clashes with my father.
When I feel like that, I pack up and leave, start over. I am not saying it is actually a good thing. And it may not be feasible for you. But it is what I do. Only advice I have.
I used to relish in the misfortune of others and I think it was in fact because I had stopped feeling pain. I thought I was emotionally invincible. When I found out I was wrong I started to realize how many people I had hurt and I stopped. Tough way to grow, though.

There are days like today where I wake up and remember Im an alien. Its very Kafka-esque. I spend the rest of the day feeling uncomfortable and agitated, wondering where my true home is and why Im here. I sit and stare at people wondering who the other aliens are, and who the zombies are. Sometimes I can tell those who share my citizenship. Sometimes...

ahh..i've just finished re-reading the metamorphosis by kafka for spring break. becoming an outsider in your own home, there's nothing quite like it. however, the one benefit is the introspection it brings. maybe even then it's not completely worth it.
you can find anything at wal-mart from first-born children to evil fish. all at reasonable prices! however, they do not have the oh-so sought after rock paper scissors card game. no life is complete without this relic of geekdom.

I try to avoid spitting loogies and the farmer's blow, but, I will confess to the later on occasion. I try to be discreet about it.
I am all too familiar with the emotional mask and the feeling that you do not belong. I don't feel that way as often as I used to, but, when I do, I don't really have anyone to trust. Not anymore. I wish I still did. I envy that you do.

Some thoughts from the Q train....
An artist can never create art without the participation of his or her history, experiences, beliefs and context in life. The irony though, is that sometimes great art can be appreciated outside of the consideration of the artist. Why is it that we have a greater admiration for an artist who consistently creates greatness compared to one who makes...

gods. last night every dog in the neighborhood was going nuts. for hours on end. i blame ghosts. or some imminent disaster that they can sense and i can't. because i need more irrational, non-existant worries in my life.

today i saw a cute young girl dressed in a green pea coat and hot pink pants run after her father as he pretended to be an airplane circling her. he even made the "airplane sound" and had his arms extended like wings as her hello kitty back pack bounced around on his back. she shrieked and giggled as she chased him, ready...

Money does funny things
To your feelings,
Your yearnings.
But remember shorty,
Life is nothing but a dream,
A game with no team,
Just you, so please lay off the morphine.
Trust your instinct,
Careful, if you blink
It might be mistaken for a wink.
Trust the ones you love,
Like angels from above,
To guide you and help you,
Youve been too many times...

Life is full of anomalies. We try to find an order to all the chaos and disorder, trying to give sense to the senseless. What more is anomaly than human error?
Is it genius or insanity? Or both? Why are the genius tortured? Why is ignorance bliss?

the short answer: no.
the long answer: happy isn't really what i strive for. it's a chemical high. it's not real. you can imagine some highschool psuedo-philospher looking up from his neizche book and sneering this, if you want. it sounds ridiculous and pompous. and it sounds bitter. i mean, why wouldn't you want to be happy? but there are better words for it. or better words at least for what i want to feel. i'd rather be productive, prolithic, proactive; i'd rather feel like there are things to look forward to than feel like i've reached that peek. i reckon i equate happiness with contentedness. and i equate content with not wanting to better one's self, not wanting more for one's self. if i ever feel like i'm living out my best days, or my best days are behind me, i figure i might as well be dead.
fear is an odd thing. it can be a motivator, or it can make you freeze up and do nothing. i suppose it depends on the person, or on what you fear.
right now i'm frozen up.
