New Orleans is always an incredible experience for me. Like a certain spot on jack's fork river in southern missouri or the pacific ocean, it provides sort of a spiritual cleansing; a baptism.
as usual, the stay in the quarter involved a lot of walking, admiration, spending more money than expected on good food and lots of drinks. one night even extended into full-on-flat-out-whiskey-dick-berserker drunkenness.....

I figured out why SG looked so fucked up for me...for some reason, IE had the pop-up blocker on and when I turned it off, everything was fixed. Now I can see the changes they've made.
Nighttime, and i was in a somewhat familiar downtown of a large city. From the middle of the street I stared up at her apartment listening to a song she had written. I had my kick drum with me and i set it down in the street just as some dude on a bicycle rolled up on me from behind and nearly knocked me down....

I had this dream last night...
I took you to my Grandpa's house in the city. While there, a lot of that side of the family was also there, but there was no real party. You and I sat outside in the spring weather. I was explaining to you about my family, the change of the neighborhood and how certain places face gentrification while this one became the new "ghetto." I looked up and noticed my grandmother walk from the inside of the house to a buffet she set up at the side of the street. I knew she was dead in my dream, but I also accepted the fact that she was here, walking around. She was feeding the neighbors, taking care of them and looking out for their well-being. Some people were peaceful and thankful of her actions, while there were others just taking beyond what they needed with no remorse. She didn't react one way or another, but went inside and left the buffet table outside for people take what they want.
I went inside (you kinda just fell off the dream at this point) and noticed certain members of my family sitting around and talking about how my grandmother was a fool for doing this for the neighbors. As I left to grab some fruit from the table outside, everyone asked me to get something from them. Frustrated, I think told them to get it for themselves (I can't remember, but I think I spoke up.) I walked out and grabbed what I wanted. I tried to find my grandmother to thank her, but she was gone.
I know exactly what this dream meant for me. It's not very bizarre, but now I feel like there's more for me to do to help, especially with my grandpa.

i've said about it enough here that it would be annoying to hear more about it.
even if only one other person is the only one who reads it.
i guess there's nothing more to say.
coworker.
if you haven't anytihing nice to say about someone, then don't say anything.
i believe in that, even if, especially if it means saying something so shitty...

You're a hard worker. You show up, do beyond what is expected of you, and prove to yourself that you're not just trying to look busy. Obviously.
You'll move onto more important things soon. If you can give it to a "dead end" job, you can give it to this opportunity in Emporia. And I'll love to be there.

20 days until i see her again --
in new orleans; when i'm there, i'm in love,
even if i weren't already with her
i would be in 20 days.
i'll take some pictures.

So we met for a weekend in Cedar Rapids Iowa again and had a lovely time.
Cobwebs abound in the town, never seen anything like it. In all the windows and tangled along the rafters and the raliings;
even 14 stories up, yet i didn't see a spider.
we ate ethnic foods in the whitest or wonderbread towns, we drank mexican beers.
the perfect piano...

I must agree with you. Even the way it looks in this computer-generated font, Dauphine is a beautiful name.
its almost embarrassing to admit just how devastating it is when yr computer crashes.
thankfully, after the Crash of 2004, 28 year old me did the responsible thing and bought the extended warranty on the new machine- saved 30 year old me a bunch of money.
soon, i'll drive to a remote location, surrounding myself with nature and perform the ritualistic smashing of the faulty...

I'll have pissed off ho leave some more messages. Maybe even the shiksa.
I would love to plan November's trip. What can be better than a trip to New Orleans with you by my side?
I also look forward to next week where I get to be with you live and in the flesh! Oh snap.
Yes, so much to look forward to...it's bliss.

what is this stifling of my soul?
feels like a partial death, maybe a hibernation
when an expressionist has nothing to say.
haven't written anything more than independent lines in months.
i'm on a plain i guess. nothing's wrong, that's just all there is; nothing going on.
maybe i should book the Rebirth of Kloi Terra show just so i have something to work toward...

Part of me already knows that when I go there, I will feel I belong there.
yeah sure they're hot.
hot as compared to obviously not hot.
and all i'm thinking is 'my girlfriend is hotter'
perhaps my eyes are biased.
perhaps they're not.
everyone i know tells me i deserve it, if anyone does,
the most beautiful wave and i'll surf it till i reach the beach
but maybe this wave is seaward, we'll see.
