a midsummer night's stream (of consciousness)
So there I was, lying on the warm tar in the cool night on a little country road up in the middle of nowhere in northern Michigan with three of my best students by my side, all staring at the stars. We were on a musha shugyo; a tradition of martial arts people from the ancient days of Japan...

you should come hang out with us this weekend to the cd exchange party...you can't get in on the cd exchange part but you can still come hang out and meet everyone... 
I dreamed a little dream and I dont know if it was true
Its sometimes hard to see between the leaves
Of what is and what isnt and what one should do
With the moments as they flash and float past the eaves
In clouds of swirling wishfulness I hoped youd appear
Soft in the dim dusk of that moments bliss
But my hoping; my...

So this guy, right, he says to me
"Buddy! Hey, Buddy! You gonna eat that?"
I looked at the table beside me and saw that there was nothing on it. I looked to the left and right of me, thinking maybe I had forgotten some sort of umbilical relationship to a half hearted sandwich which was left by my memory to wither and die.
Nope....

Dude, do you know my head would blow up with excitement if I had a guy just follow me around saying that everytime I walk into a joint?
I'd be one bad motor scooter.
Ace.

I sent this as part of an email to one of my pals earlier tonight who asked about my whirlwind schedule...

This is what my voicemail sez:
"Hm. Did they put you in a BOX with a TOP and a LOCK, yo?
This is TimTv. Come with me. Just - say - no."
I have a LOT to say about this last weekend and the whole whirlwind DEMF adventure contained (or uncontainable!) therein. But I stayed awake 2 nights in a row & packed more madness...

the wild cherry is on the south side of 8 mile just east of gratiot...you should come and fun with us even though you don't drink...
So, how does this feel? Poked in the eye sharply by the things I see which offend my heart on a day to day basis. I struggle, not blindly, but with full sight and clarity of mind against those who are in the majority but have nonetheless drunken from the well of insanity. I cling with maddening grip and desperate fingers to the lost images...

jeeeeeesus that was sucha long reply i din reply back because its a lot of typing
ummm ill try
1. i grew up in and around detroit, left several times chicago being one of the longer locations, but since 2000 i've been in ann arbor going to school. and i just moved to seattle
i went to school for photo and graphic design so im some strange aesthetic sense going on. i love john leguizamo because he reminds me of a lot of the kids i grew up with and also tells stories i can relate and his characters are always fuckin ON IT and also he makes me laugh a lot. i saw him when he came to my school a couple years ago it was neat, he wasnt one of those lazy entertainers who repeat some half assed routine that they've already done a million times for smalled crowds, it seemed like he actually thought of what he wanted to say even though it was in a smallass school audtorium. that impressed me
yah shogun assassin ... love it. love kung fu flcks. dont own any now, sadly. and lost shogun assasin. HMPF
boy that makes me giggle is not same as last boy i probably wrote about. i've had two very strong-willed and completly opposite men in my life for the past year.... one exiting, one entering. the last one is far away now and it makes me sad. he's a good friend and i miss him a lot. the other one told me he was going to die within months of my leaving but then he ALWAYS says junk like that when he is drinking and is just weird and im getting to old to be wasting my time with people who cant get over their fuckin issues
ok now IVE lost track and dont know what to say? there's a spider under my ned i wish he would go home

Hold on tight, its one of those nights
So, there I was, halfway between going up and coming down; halfway between throwing up and calming down; halfway between growing up and throwing down, when suddenly it hit me and everything became clear. The realization was as vast as the field of stars from which it came. It was as though I had just awoken from...
