Sad eyed lady of the low lands,
where the sad eyed prophets say that no man comes,
my warehouse eyes,
my Arabian drums,
should I leave them by your gate,
or sad eyed lady should I wait
threestares:
wait.

I think it's time to put down the books, I realize that I have insulated myself with literature and philosphy. I thought I was confident, fearless, but now that the last thread of familiarity is slipping away I see that I am afraid, terribly afraid. I have never had to be alone, really alone, solitude was a luxury and like all luxuries when forced it...

Fuck, Dostoyevsky was right about me.

I am base.

does the hill exist? not unless it is screaming and someone hears it and cares enough to ask why.
fukidunno:
What the fuck is base in that context? (I am being lazy by not doing reseach... normally I would, ya know, be all sleuthy and all clever but nah... fuck it.) Time is all I have little of.

Slowly, little by little calm is returning, my job is consuming my more every day. It seems this restaurant's fate is tied to my own, it has been suffering parallel misfortunes. The oly remaining kitchen staff are myself and the executive chef. It is a reminder that we do have control of our own lives, or at least our pereptions and what is an unhappy...

Well, there's preachers in the pulpits and babies in the cribs
I'm longin' for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs
I'm gonna buy me a barrel of whiskey - I'll die before I turn senile
Well, I cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile


Sorry about all the quotes, writing is reflective and when you are in the...

i don't think a snake feels pain when it sheds its skin. the new skin may hurt sometimes because it is tender, fresh and unused. i don't think that is a bad thing.

i think that my problems are trivial in light of what is going on in the world. today i was complaining about feeling uncomfortable in the crowds at ikea. what a sad situation. it is all relative and as i watched enough water to keep 5 people alive for three days drain out of my bathtub i realized how truly blessed i am. that is relative, too.

yeah, funny to admit it, i have a five year plan. i am actually in year three. i have this plan because i floundered in life for sometime. i was sitting at my desk in a factory and i thought about where i would like to be. you know those questions "where would you like to be in five years"?

i had a moment and then i started changing my life. since the "plan" involves formal education it was fairly easy to do the math. one year to recover, two years in school, two years interim license... viola five years.

Life moves on, faster then I could ever have imagined. I'm opening a new restaurant with some of the best chefs in Portland, so it seems I will sell my life to the kitchen again, for a few months at least. It's best I don't think too much for awhile. Did I just say that?

"I am a free man - and I need my freedom. I need to be alone. I need to ponder my shame and despair in seclusion; I need the sunsine and the paving stones of the streets without companions, without conversation, face to face with myself, with only the music of my heart for company. What do you want of me? When I have something...

It's over...

Early one morning the sun was shining,
she was laying in bed,
wonderin' if she'd change it all if her hair was still red,
her folks they said our lives together sure was gunna be rough,
never did like mama's homemade dress,
papa's banquet wasn't big enough,
I was standin on the side of the road,
rain fallin' on my shoes,
headed out...

No way, you two? the pictures..... happiness all over them, all over you. moments in time I guess. I'm sorry. I would say I know how you feel considering a 6 year relationship of mine dssolved not too long ago with lingering heartache, but everyones pain is their own. I wish you the best.

An interesting thought...
"Buddha is the last man! That is his secret and terrible signifigance. Buddha is the "pure" soul which has emptied itself; in him is the void, he is the Void. 'Empty your body, empty your spirit, empty your heart!' he cries. Wherever he sets his foot, water no longer flows, no grass can grow, no child be born."
-Nikos Kazantzakis

I've decided...

Coming home is so anti-climatic, I am reminded yet again of why I left. Dust and smog are bad for the soul, as is traffic, shallow people inflated prices and false libralism, relativist or not hypocricy gives me diptheria.

I was going to write about Debbie, the girl with multiple personalities and very large dog (that's right DOG!), but I'm not in the mood to...
