taxes! fucking hell!

as we sat with the accountant yesterday, between grimaces, she was kind enough to point out that it's fine to "shoebox it" for the first couple of years, then it's time to get your act together. we're right on schedule!

it was very exciting to finally chart our monthly income from the biz and see the growth.

do you think sleeping in...

I need to work out a bulk rate for your stickers. I've giving them out at AR events I've hosted and they go like hotcakes. Usually people are mad I didn't bring enough.

holy crap it's nice out. portland is a cruel mistress. it's gray and rainy out for so long you get used to it and forget spring will come, then, three nice days in a row. you reach for the water repellent jacket on your way out with the dog and realize you don't need it.

then you sit outside for 20 minutes in the sun...

i must remember exercise makes everything better.

i'm happy nadar is in the race. i hope he gets no votes (it's hard for me to type that), but i'm glad he's in the race cuz he can criticize bush in a way the democrats can't (wouldn't want to alienate all those corporate lobbyists.)

state dept. released their human rights report. bad china! bad russia! bad...

When I graduated Noam Chomsky was getting an honorary degree. However, he was rather unwell and we were forced to listen to a very boring Quebecois anthropologist. Noam sat there looking sad and slightly propped up. I wished he had spoken that day - poor public speaker that he is.

reading your journal brings my time-lapse into focus. every day a week, every week a month, this month a year. But the future also has it's own trusses. It's shape for me is acute.

i hope you are well and have started to walk your dog in the particulate, buttery early light.

I suppose I got lucky with the surf. It was nice. The only problem was the depth of water at the break. By the time the ride was complete I was in like a foot of water. And I was borrowing someone's board, so I was worried about breakage.

ciao hombre'...i just wanted to let you know personally (actually, i don't know if this is personally since you are in portland and i am in italy...but it's as close as we're getting) that i got my order today, and i am more than satisfied with the products. my lady and i love the shirts, we are planning on wearing them up to rome soon and have pictures taken to send to you for the site. i am also about halfway through issue one of the magazine, and am also very pleased with that. it's been hard for two vegans to live a military life overseas, and i am eagerly anticipating my return to the states. herbivore co. just made these last few months a bit easier.
thanks again...

3 days in a row i had talks with 3 seperate friends about how we've all been thinking about quitting this fucking country if Bush gets reelected. It was a strange moment when I realized we could sell this house and have enough for a house in Costa Rica.

But then I thought, if we leave, we can't just come back when things are better....

I know Bush is a big problem, but there is really very little that is right with this country regardless. Look what happened in California. Do those people realize they are being governed by a clown? I have thought about leaving the country on several occasions because of the lack of social conscience of our citizens, the high crime, the poor education. Not that I am looking for a people with a consicence or looking for a better country. I just want to get away from it all and live in peace. I know it is the chickenshit way out, but I am fatigued and worn out. The fight is worth it, but peace for my son and I is a higher priority right now.

it pleases me that info about bush evading military duty is finally hitting the press.

granted, if pressed into service, i'd evade it too, but at least it wouldn't be because i was a coward with a rich and well connected daddy.

what scares me is that all these pro-war hawkish americans will vote for a rich kid, deserter over a decorated war hero. kerry...

Ooh! Since when do you keep a journal. Yay for that. I just went back a few entries and read about your hemp hoodies. Haha, I've never had Seitan, but might want a hoodie when I move back to the states.

I actually wrote a big article for a website about a popular kid's show, which is supposed to be about natural fiber. It basically goes like this:

Cotton is Evil
Linen is Less Evil
Hemp is God.
Don't smoke your shirt!

I'm a bit worried that they'll censor out my hippie dogma, but I really just presented a blaancd article. It just so happens that hemp is the obvious choice, and that the cotton industry headed an obvious conspiracy to overthrow the superior competition.

Your package came today. I can't believe you sent me this stuff! So nice. You have to let me pay for it. Such a nice thing to do!

Fellow Vampire Killer,

I get what you were saying about my comments now. I read the editorial from the first mag about the reasons for starting it. And I see how one thing you didn't count on was the need for people in the "vegan diaspora" (ooohhh I like that) to feel that connection to each other,; that they're not alone, no matter where they are, and to get that moral and morale boost. I got it when you asked the veggie list how the list affected them.

I'm glad you're seeing this unintended side affect. It was something the internet promised, and rarely delivers, no?
