Books are human actions in death
-Balzac
And I've been makin' promises I know I'll never keep.
One of these days I'm gonna leave you in your sleep.
I have to go when the whistle blows-
The whistle knows my name.
Baby, I was born on a train.
-The Magnetic Fields
I lay there like a floodlit ham, waiting for the axe to fall.
Where is this mythical book that I am...

someday i'll finish the book i started. problem is, i can only write a lot when i'm discontent. as soon as i'm happy the creative juices coagulate. it's a rather double edged sword.
Don't worry - bad weeks come and go. That just means it's time for a good one!
I do declare that you were all that I wanted,
but I was so stubborn, the risks were undaunted,
If you had the answers, and I wasn't told,
then that makes you selfish, heartless and cold.
If I'm sent packing and I'm giving up,
the rights to the children, the keys to the truck,
if you had the answers, then why was it hard,
to...

Hell yes I do.
I've been in a very strange mood all day, absurdly snarky, weighed down although I have no reason to be. It's as is if something is about to happen and I've picked up on it. It is as if I am some sort of universal antennae,...

Notes are universal I think
I rarely read my old books. I just buy them for their looks.
I destroy the books I read too.
I used to think that all the tragic events in life were written down in books and what went on outside was just diluted crap. I thought a beautiful book was a diseased portion of the brain. I never realized that a whole world could be diseased.

Last week was a major trial, the kind of week that makes me think "What am I doing?" makes me question my life as a cook, the culinary career path. I made a stupid mistake and the sous chef now doubts my ability to saute. I left on saturday feeling beat down, sad and tired....

My muses come in so many forms, and lots of times they aren't even people so much as they are just those moments you experience. Sex has always been at the top of my list, though, that's for sure. It's always at the front of my mind, for better or for worse.
And you? I can't wait to hear all the dirt on what you've been up to!
And I can't wait to get what you're sending me! I'm happy to be back - I missed you!
It's staggeringly beautiful at this hour when every one seems to be going his own private way. Love and murder, they'ren still a few hours apart. Love and murder, I feel it coming with the dusk: new babies coming out of the womb, soft, pink flesh to get tangled up in the barbed wire and scream all night long and rot like dead bone a...

Thing is, my instinct is all messed up, and this is what I hate most. I really do worry that I should side-step this man, get the hell out now, and that maybe I am ignoring my most intelligent self. And then at the same time... I guess I can wait and see for couple more weeks. Ask me again in a couple of weeks.
I love to read.
