commercials are terrible. movies are terrible. makeup is terrible. and so is american idol and everything else that is culturally numbing us so that there no longer is magic in the ordinary.

in the drops of water on leaves

in our our skin and hair and lips and eyes

in situations that have power

in words that are meaningful and only need to be said...

My truck really isn't all that large. It's only 208" long on a 127" wheelbase. It's a decent size.

I did indeed rake up the fallen flowers after I whacked 'em. Hopefully they're decaying in my compost pile. I'm not entirely sure since I haven't turned the pile yet this year.

Going by the past month or so of journal entries, I figured you were going to leave. I didn't know you were "interfering with his drinking" though.

Your posts around New Year's were the most-telling.

nope. Once we left the old world we just sorta dicked around this continent for the next 20,000 or so years. I do think Persian girls are pretty though wink

Well said. Its seduced me and I must now learn it, even if it means wading through the script; I really need an actual teacher, cuz that punk Ferdowsi is egging me on:

بناهاى آباد گردد خراب
ز باران و از تابش آفتاب

پى افكندم از نظم كاخي بلند
كه از باد و باران نيابد گزند

نميرم از اين پس كه من زنده‌ام
كه تخم سخن را پراكنده‌ام

which apparently means something like:

"Prosperous buildings are ruined
By rainfall and exposure to sunlight"

"Ergo, I established a towering palace of verse
That sees no harm of neither gusts nor rainfall"

"I shall not demise as I am alive, henceforth
For I have disseminated the seeds of discourse"

Weeee, it gets me all excited smile

I don't know much, when I knew less,
And I was heartbroke for the first time,
I was drowning in my tears,
I went looking for a lifeline,
Trying to find some comfort,
A simple tender touch,
Searching for some little cure
That would not cost too much,
And I could hear that produce wagon on the street,
I could hear that farmer singing,
As...

I loved those words. Thank you for introducing me to that Chris Smither song - Google, and by extension the Internet, isn't it just the greatest thing since bread came sliced?

/hug/ for the song and another /hug/ for what prompted you to share it.

Here is a link about Perfume if you want to watch it. Rotten Tomatoes has it only at a 54% though.
The film club gave Children of Men mixed reviews but I still think it may be good. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 92%
I can't wait until Pan's Labyrinth comes out around here. Who knows when that will be though.

It's cool that you met Prez Ford. I didn't know how to feel when he died. I had forgotten that he was alive. Ford's death means the end of an era. He became president from the worst of circumstances.

You are correct about mourning our own losses. I hope you are taking good care of yourself in this new year of 2007. I have good feeling about this one.

Be well and be happy. Peace.
hellomrworld:
thats kinda cool you have an FBI record ... I imagine the funeral took over Grand Rapids pretty strongly ...

Is it in a residential neighborhood like the Nixon library in Whittier, CA??

Happy new year and blessed be. ...
