My urge to piss finally got the best of me. Despite the cold and desperation for sleep, I stumbled toward the bathroom, body still spinning from the late night.

I looked up through the darkness to see a toilet bowl above me, my head ringing as if I'd smashed it against something. Surprised and disoriented, I heaved myself up from the floor, using the edge...

As a break to my story, I'm going to reproduce something I wrote in my physical (paper) journal back on June 8, 1999. I bring it up because it's related to a recent journal entry from Morgan on what it means to be a man.

bionicfemme:
Yoyoyo! Thank you for the nice words in my journal. I just felt sorry for Sfgrrl to some degree and I could see both sides of the argument...what she said was definitely unacceptable, but some of the comments directed toward her were totally unacceptable too. I hope she will find a community of people to talk about being TS with...I think it would help her a lot. So I offered my services...y'know, just bein' the local superhero, as usual. Heehee.

We should definitely chat sometime, you seem cool.

Her barbed wit and unmatched bravado were more intoxicating than the whiskey Id drunk. She played me as we walked to her apartment nearby.

Did you know that when some species of snakes reproduce, Marla burst out, a whole group of them will ball up together into an orgy for hours! I recognized her as wanton, being likewise, myself....

more importantly, who was dj-ing at the ruby room that night? was it Anne with an E [my KALX dj name, back then]biggrin

i love that profile pic, too. i'm sure it's meant as a joke, but it makes me happy all the same...

watch out for ghosts!

interesting journal? i wouldn't have thunk it. talk about weather, talk about food. seems basic, right?

I'm curious about these other Happas lurking the globe and this site in particular since it seems a unique place to arrive at.

The Ruby Room is a dive bar with all the accoutrements you might expect of the name. Ruby walls, ruby upholstery, ruby seats, ruby booths, ruby candles, and a complimentary black that frames everything. Its also one of those smoking establishments in a state thats outlawed smoking inside of bars.

And thats where I met Marla, the first woman of any substance Id encountered in...

yeah, rodan and slint are the best. i still listen to spiderland all the time. i remember when i first got Rusty, i was in 11th grade and the first song threw me for a loop. i was expecting it to break into something right away but it went on for 7 minutes. ahhhh, something completely different. at this point all i had been listening to was stuff like living colour and tool and quicksand and helmet. then i got this record and everything changed almost overnight. then i came across sunny day's Diary....ho-ly-shit! it was over then. man, i wish i had brought that with me to norway, fuck. i have rodan and slint with me, what was i thinking.

I want to write something clever but I'm drawing a blank. I will, instead, write what I feel.

The neverending drama otherwise known as "work" is driving me to the brink of a breakdown. It must either turn around (ie. promote me and give me a raise) or I'll be looking for a new line of work. I don't run a charity but employers treat...

My younger sister is expecting a baby this December, a little girl, which will be the first grandchild of the family. My sister is 24 years old, which I suppose isn't too young. But it's still far too early for me to even considering being an uncle.

My age aside, I have very mixed feelings about this because my sister and I aren't particularly close....

Whew... SGLA potluck was fantabulous and props to the Poopster for his massive organization skills. I swear, I didn't mean to crack your nuts. I just meant to demonstrate what would have happened had Donkey shown his nuts to me.

Incidentally, Halo is a stupid game. If you haven't played it before, don't bother. And don't listen to Maxx if he tries to convince you...

So it was SUPPOSED to be treat-my-lady-like-a-queen-night but she already had food prepared by the time I got home. However, I will make it up to her with Voltaires stuffed acorn squash recipe. It sounds dee-lish!

and you try to tell me you're going to kick my ass in halo? you, sir are lousy at killing me in Halo. I can't believe I got to see you get all goofy in baby fight club in the back yard. how silly was that? Glad you liked the "autumn harvest pasta" (it's new name), I can give you the recipe. Super duper fun last night, sorry abotu the tire thing, that was wacky.

Sensory overload! Went out with 35mm last night to the Hollywood high life.. and I was reminded why I work with artists and not celebrities. Had a great time meeting 35's people and I'm sure we'll be hanging out again, but whew... I have survived.

I'll dedicate today's entry to 35mm:

About four years ago I attended a show at the Casbah in San Diego to see the Japanese punk band, Guitar Wolf. In case you don't know, these guys are the Asian version of the Ramones, with full-blown bowl haircuts and sleeve tattoos; something quite unusual for anybody Japanese. At least the tattoos are.

There's a tremendous amount of irony here as Guitar Wolf is...

boxterjulep:
yeah, no shit about them taking their shit serious. You talk to these people and read about them and you realize they really think a lot about the music. and it's funny as hell when they also turn out to be so fucking polite.

I remember Acid Mothers Temple came to town and there show was fucking amazing with their leader Kawabata Makoto looking like some Aum Shinrikyo cult member. Afterwards they stood over by their table with cds and tshirts to sell. this kid comes up and buys a cd and tells them how great they were. they bow and thank him a whole bunch. he points out how one tshirt design looked cool. they start offering to give it to him and the guy is like oh no, i couldn't, no, at least let me pay for it. it was a struggle but he finally managed to give them the cash for it and they couldn't have thanked him enough.

I love japanese rock bands.

I lived in the Gulf region from birth to six, and for my last two years of high school. Ummm...I thought the UAE was...a good place to spend the last two years of high school. biggrin I've been around the Middle East quite a bit, I guess, but not really for anything like a cultural/historical tour.

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away.

========================

And I'm no big fan of the stuff either. But you become obsessed with lucre when every month is a challenge to make ends meet. I'm certain that its because I *don't* make money a priority in my life that I struggle with it. Nevertheless, the gross excesses and simultaneous selfishness of this country sicken me.

Why do we have some of the wealthiest people in the world living here, and yet, we're the least socialist of nearly every modern nation? Do these people not understand that by erroding the security and safety of the underclass that they're only pushing the system toward collapse?

We don't live in a vaccum and to make money also means to take money away from somebody else. And thus the resources need to be more evenly distributed, even if it is an unnatural and state-determined function to do so.
