How's everybody been? Okay?
Seems like lots of shit is going down in lots of places, but then I'm hardly the most observant of cats in the best of times.
But I for one, am not going to blame it on Mars being the closest it's been to Earth in 65,000 years or whatever. I'm sorry, but I just do not buy into the whole...

O ye weary traveler, take comfort at the end of your day.
If you happened to be at a Four Seasons Hotel or Resort, and picked up a book of matches while you were there, you'd see a kind of still life on the cover, depicting a smoldering cigar in a crystal ashtray, and a brandy snifter resting serenely on a damask-draped table, with a...

You are as a boat adrift in the ocean whose center mast has snapped off in the storm the night before. You survived the darkness of the storm, yet whatever diety smiled upon you to ensure your safety may have doomed you to waste away slowly in the hot sun. Listless and without direction is often worse than actual hardship. On the horizon I lack direction as well. What shall I do when I finally finish college? Who knows?
Hopefully you'll get that sail back up and find your way. The compass is comewhere. Really.

oh, whoa. thank you, poem. you're the most flattering guardian angel ever 
I think I've pretty solidly located the sources of my internal hostility well overflow.
1a) my lack of employment
2b) my lack of funds that results from the lack of employment
3c) my lack of social interaction - I'm not like Louise - i.e. I WANT to leave the house more than once every six weeks. In fact - how bout TWICE in one week?...

Knowing what you want and knowing what prevents your happiness are two of the most useful things in the world. Not knowing how to either get what you want or to eliminate the barrier to happiness is one of the most annoying things. I'm sorry to hear that you've got several itches that you can't find a way to scratch them. Of course, there's always the danger of paralysis through analysis (what an annoyingly new age phrase, eh?), which makes me think of The Shawshank Redemption, as does the "living in fear" quote. One hopes Brookes' solution never seems appropriate.
And I apologize for not showing up at Pirates. I didn't know about it and I'm fifteen hundred miles away, but sorry I couldn't be there. Truly.
With the 2nd person narrative, I understand what you were going for, and it's a noble goal, and some people enjoy it, but it doesn't work for me. Personal taste type thing. No fault of your own.
And, heh, I did wait for the wounds to close before going down on someone.
And how could that brain atrophy with Meph out there?

Hoo-ah! (I know, it sounds way cooler when Al Pacino does it.)
Well this was just an awesome weekend. Popsicles on the porch went well, and I got to meet more people.
Movie-night went well, and I got to meet still more people.
Bowling was cool, and I got cheap new neon bowlin' shoes. And I got to meet MORE people.
I swear, if I...

I'm beginning to learn as I get older that there are no absolutes left in life. Everything is a shade of grey. Nothing is entirely good, or bad. Black or white, etc.
Anything that seems like it has the possibility of being an absolute perhaps just hasn't been around long enough. In time, something else will eclipse it, or beliefs will change and evolve so...

the only thing worse than being sick in my opinion, is to have someone dismiss your sickness as unimportant, or perhaps tell you that you aren't yet sick enough to merit their attention. today I dealt with both. being sick sucks. now I go to sleep, and hopefully, tonight I will actually sleep.
demigauge:
i hate it when that happens..and when it does i turn bitchy..me bitchy and sick is not a good thing*hugs* feel better
ahhhh welcome back to the normal flow of things y'all.
I don't know why I felt particularly compelled to vent my bile in this forum for the last two entries, but back to the normal journal. Hopefully those kinds of entries will be few and far between - or put somewhere else - or not? Did you like those? Let me know- I can certainly...

just for fun and giggles, another diatribe. But before we get to that, the news.
I had a good day - went and saw a doubleheader of "A Mighty Wind" and "Bowling for Columbine" both at cheap theaters. God I love this town. PW's capsule review - both great flicks, if you haven't seen 'em, do so. Now. I've got a bit of a headache...

thursday:
so what justifies the 'need' to lie?
re: i'd call you except
a. i've been busy
b. the message you left me with your cell number was ridiculous.
and
c. i accidentally erased the message meph left me with your number.
i did get your last voicemail though.
how about leaving me a message with your number again?

Sorry to say, but I'm not so much a fan of the second person narrative style. I understand the device and the impulse, but it just leaves me distant. Ah, well. Sorry to hear you feel as though you're compromising yourself. Wish I could help.
And thanks for the wellwishes.

Ok, I'll have to save this journal entry for when I have some time to read it.
Thank you so much for your post. It was very kind. Don't tell anyone but I got all warm and fuzzy just reading it. You are a cool guy p.w., stay that way!
I'm off to don my clothes and finish packing. One hour 'til I leave for the airport. Ta!

Wha-hoah everybody.
If I seem to have been MIA lately, it's because of a combination of things, which I'll delve into slightly here.
The "presence" mentioned in the previous journal is still going strong. Meph seems to have worked some shit out, and is confident that this time around will be better. I'm not so sure, partially because I am the natural cynic when it...

I'm right there with you p. willy. I forgot about pirate drinking tonight. I think I might join you for a drink. See you then.
I just finished reading "The Cheese Monkeys" by Chip Kidd for the second time in my life. One phrase struck me as corresponding with my life at the moment.
"God, how did it all collapse into THIS, so quickly?"
I don't know who to attribute it to, because like Fight Club, the main character is one of those nameless narrators.
But yeah. A certain presence...

I tend to deal with unnamed presences with extreme prejudice. It's worked so far.

Hey dear, glad to be there last week, and I look forward to this Thursday. I know how you feel with the financial stuff. If only I were a college student again and could take out loans.....sigh.
