spent last weekend in new orleans for work. i avoided being a tourist and spent time in the 9th ward with my parent organization ACORN. over a year later the 9th ward is still devastated. in a sense, its worse than third world countries. at least there there are some reasons for why the shit is all fucked up. here, there are no excuses. silent...

its one thing to know politics is a dirty game, but its another to KNOW politics is a dirty game.
what is the alternative?

Thanks for the sweet compliment on my set! I put my heart and soul into this set and I'm so glad you like it!
Sometimes it rains like sudden sadness
I stare up into the web of branches sway
The atmosphere sirens wail
I stare down onto concrete blocks
Rain bombs my soul to night
Wash away graffiti dirt
Or the red run to the gutter
I stare in to my eyes
I flinch from particles in air
I glare at my ugly unconcern
Soft patter of the mushroom...

yeah i did feel better after my rant, thanks 
i spent about 10 minutes reading the "missed connections" section of craigslist...and i hated it. LOATHE. ABHOR. in case you dont know what it is, its a bulletin where you can opine (and pine) over people whom you had a missed connection with - on the train, bus, street, wherever. what it REALLY is though, is a bulletin for some emo hipster cowards too afraid...

isn't it terrible? it just reminds me of the ghost world movie and how many people like steve buscemi's character there are roaming about the city.
if you find yourself reading a stranger's journal, but it consists nothing of dribbilng mundane matters of that day, does that make you a vouyeur? arent we all? what is this space for? is my space really my space or simply another subtley placed ad for the site on which you write?

Amen, brother. Perry Bible Fellowship brings joy to my Wednesdays.
Hillary Clinton is a phony. She wants to be a high-power politician; I doubt she cares about much else.

from that perspective, a woman can only have a geniune freind if she does not feel threatened (less, pretty, witty, generally tolerable, etc.) by her. this can go both ways, but i think it can be largely one-sided.
but it's not like everyone's out to stab each other in the back for a possible mate. not everyone's out to look for love or be a breeder. what, then, in the case of lesbians? how would this behavior modify when you're fishing from the same pool of competitors and prospects?

Oh yeah, treat your cut well.
I cut the shit out of my finger slicing bread a few weeks ago, right on the knuckle, nearly passed out trying to get it to stop bleeding. No the scar tissue is thick and it hurts every time I bend it. Such is life.

It is so hard to hear the words and let it sink in.
have you ever gotten news so horrible that it makes your face red in humiliation
it would almost be better to be in denial - the alternative unbearable.
it broke my heart, which is already fragile.
If I had known then what I know nowwell, you know how that adage goes.
