Walks in the cold. I found a secret path down the street from my house. It curves along a creek, hidden from the suburban hell that I so long to escape. Winter trees, drowned shopping carts. Murky water, white sky.

Thanks for the niece congrats. Her name is Geneva and boy is she a screamer. Hehehe..

Yes, the human body is capable of amazing things, most of which I've never really known. I've never been really physically active although my mom and my sister are both ballet dancers (and my brother is something of a jock). I've wish I knew somebody personally who could show me the joys of being active because I know they have to exist.

Otherwise exercise, even the marathon training, is more of a necessary evil than anything else. And that's just silly, right?

I watched "The Straight Story" tonight. What a wierd concept (David Lynch making a movie for Disney) It was sooo THAT, too. It was the epitome of a Disney David Lynch movie. Thats about the best way to describe it. It's about an old man who drives his lawnmower several hundred miles across 2 state lines to visit his dying brother. only, instead of it...

My favorite memory from seeing that film in the theatres was during the opening credits, when this came up (as best my memory serves, I haven't seen it since):

"Walt Disney Pictures Presents:

A film by David Lynch..."

Several people in the audience cracked up at that, including me...it was a little surreal and amusing to see those two entities in one place, Disney & Lynch...whatever
pendejo:
That's the one Lynch film I haven't seen; sounds interesting. He's definately one of my favorites.

Speaking of movies did you ever see the film version of "Meetings With Remarkable Men"? It's not the greatest but the scene at the end with the movements being performed gives me goosebumps. I was fortunate to have studied them with some of the most advanced practitioners in the world and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Sucks I didn't have the dedication to pursue it but it meant opening up my life totally and that is so scary.

I just started to receive all the editorial for this months newspaper. I have a super short deadline this month because of the holidays. Into a flurry of sleepless nights again. I have to wait until my werewolf baby falls asleep at night before I can get any work done. (hes restless from the full moon and while my teeth get sharp, he's popping out...

Hi lunabelle! Actually, the mercury immunization was given a long time ago, the guy in my journal is now in his late 30's, but I totally respect your decision with your son. I agree that many immunizations and antibacterials definitely do more harm than good. It's hard to stand up to "established" medical ideas, and it's good that you do what you feel is right. smile

Im open. a flower that blooms in the night. Evening Primrose, Sweet-scented Nicotiana, Angel's Trumpet. The air around me shimmers like like an illusory curtain, it might fall away at any moment revealing furtive truths in hushed tones. The ground beneath is wet. My roots absorb the tears, the blood, the sweat of a thousand and one nights.

When the bellows close.

Off to my favorite Asian market to buy:

green papaya
ram rau
pho
sambal olek
thai basl
coconut milk
young coconuts
water beetles

These are a few of my favorite things. I am braving a dangerous, terrible storm just to get them.

Take note of it now, this woman is a genius... she is so much more then any of you could ever handle. For fuck's sake, well I don't know, she's just amazing and don't forget it or I will whap you all with spatulas until you play the accordion yourselves, little monkeys!

She should now, immediately be everyone's current crush. Or you are just plain delusional. Thank you.

Someday I'm stealing her to Portland and we're starting a commune with all the cool people and we'll have 35 foot kombuchas in silos underground and we'll have an art studio that's the house, and we'll sleep in tents outside the house to not interrupt all the artists.

I lie in bed awake again. Untouched.
We even sleep beneath separate blankets tonight,
as if an invisable line has drawn itself down the center of our bed.
You cough and say "I love you" but it sounds more like a question.
My body has gone cold.
A warm meal, uneaten, left to sit out all night as tha plate grows chillier.

Outside my window,...

Oh man, this is why I stay the craggy old/young bachelor hermit. I'm sorry girl, truly sorry... get the fuck outta the suburbs if possible and magic will come again
boxterjulep:
I stand on the rooftop and yell at the night
that's how the conversation begins
from there things settle downand we talk
like civilized entities that we be and hash out
what it is that stinks, the chores left unfinished
no point in keeping it bottled up
up and at them now or the mess will only get worse
speak, damn you, speak!
can't sleep, can't sleep with shit brewing
people live for passion but passion is as much a recluse as anyone of us. stage performance is excellent! in the flesh, off the stage, sometimes very hard to talk to. a different persona? we play hide and seek. problem is we rarely define when it begins and when it ends who is hiding, who is seeking.

Up late agian working. I'm sooo excited, I finished the literary magazine that I was laying out and FTP'd it off to the printer tonight. It feels good to have a moment to breathe.

Lying in bed sleepless. All I can think about are the creatures. What does it feel like to be the LAST in a species? To be that final butterfly, elephant bird,...

dunno, seems to be there in some pics. I mean shit, I AM a total angel... ha haha
chuntcockula:
Hmmm.... Last of the line.. Well, I can't speak for the animals as a last of a species... but as the last male child (mind, male child - our society loves to think everything is centered around us wink) of at least 5 generations....

There are two ways of viewing it.

One, that there is a great need to procreate and by not dong that, I am incomplete and am the sole witness to a disaster. And you then drive yourself nuts seeking the unattainable...

Or two, that I am the culmination of my ancestors. In order to best honor my species (or family, as the case may be) I must strive to do everything I can to honor that to the best of my ability. All of their yesterdays have lighted me the way.... Well, of course to death, but more importantly, to a brief yet important life. What I do with what life they have given me and how they are all part of me.. it is very humbling.

It doesn't really change the tragedy nor heal the loneliness, but at least you don't let the species go quietly sobbing to its death...

Anyway... you like comics, so I guess I would suggest Robinson and Harris' Starman put out by DC... now discontinued but in GN form. One of the major themes is fillial responsability/lineage/ and how that does not necessarily shape who you are, but what you are. Plus, Jack has awesome tats.
