Option one: violence and philosophy. Option two: stupid jokes my father sent me. Option Three: Mundane and inane self-reporting. Option four: Encouragement.
Nrrrrd! I'm tired, I've been doing work samples (columns, interviews, reviews, photographys) all day. I actually found a good extra job for a new paper in my hometown, we'll see how that goes. It would work to do it and study too which is good, I really, really, really need money. It's so expensive here, if you didn't know, it really is. Or I maybe shouldn't think I need so much stuff (read: lap top, ipod, objectives, lenses, my US westcoast roadtrip next year - at least that's what i want if i can save up which i intend to, etc) Now I must take care of the Mount Everest of Dishes.

Thank you to everyone who commented and answered my question. I appreciate hearing where everyone is at, and finding out that with variations, most of us are finding the same type of value here. I really enjoy this site, and I truly appreciate you all. Thank you.
I think Tarqu1n summed it up succinctly: I've been on the net for years, made many friendships that... Read More
My brother is here: DC2020! Introduce yourself and say hello (or we'll kidnap your motherfucking kid) . . . love him!
Yes, this is the same brother responsible for feeding Sophie and I in Chicago. What a winner. I'm only slightly bitter that over time he's become both the good one and the talented one. I'm used to being bad, but I'm not used... Read More
When Sophie and I went to Chicago a couple of weeks ago for the Coheed & Cambria show, we ate at Moto Restaurant and had the 18-course GST tasting dinner.
Whoo, lawd.
My brother Drue and I had been talking about this place since they opened, and planning to do it, so once we arrived, Drue made the call, we were going to do it... Read More
I, for once am on the recieving end of hurt, not the giver. Mental, emotional, blah, blah, blah. Time to put on my super cape and be a strong LaceyGlove
i'm pretty damn bored now. there was a good pile of stuff to do when i got into work today, but now it's all done diddly done, and i am twiddly tiddle thumbly.
so. Dale the tool will indeed be at the Union Station lunch outing saturday. i was thinking we could go, you could meet workpeople, we could see what the place was about, and then maybe roll on over to jeremy and ian's and see if they want to play some dice with us. alternately, we could try and find that tattoo convention and check it out. or! we could jump someone's apartment pool fence and swim like fishies that way. mainly, i sink it should involve zee svimming.
or not.
b-zoring i am right now. and i left my b-zook at home!
Mad Hot Ballroom is the shit; if you can, you should, and even if you can't, you should remember that once you can you should. It may not be in theaters where you are at, but will be on DVD soon.
MHB is a documentary about a ballroom dancing program for eleven-year-olds in NYC; the kids take a ballroom dancing class and some of... Read More

i didn't get an e-mail from my mom. i just was finally writing back to the most recent letter i got from her. i shoud have done that a week ago, but i just drag on tasks that i'm not looking forward to.
you and i had so much fun this past weekend! thank you for being the amazing person that you are! i send you a plenitude of kisses on this day. i can't wait until evening!
Man, I wish it was just a question of sleep. If it was, I wouldn't have to life in constant fear of inadvertently slicing my gums like so much provalone.
It is said that, when I was about 4, living in a log cabin, safely nestled in a 200 person biker town in northern Wisconsin (ages 0-8)), I used to wake up and go into the living room, sit down in a wingback chair and stare at the fishtank for a couple of hours without moving. Mornings are mayby the best part of the day, but, for my own good, it seems I must take them in from afar.
Thanks for the movie reccomendation. I need to see something that doesn't have an ad campaign and merchandising attached. I think I need to stay occupied today, so I may try and take it in.
Your Round three wisdom is right on the money, but it'll be a tall order. Round by round. Eventually the score cards will fall away and I'll be in it on my terms.
Makes me think of 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper for some reason.
'Just when you thought you had all the answers, I change the question.'
I always wonder whether or not dreams are the voice of the actualized self trying to break into the practical world. Trying to, like you said, make it your kind of fight.
This kind of thinking requires coffee and maybe a scone. Perhaps it will be earmarked for a greek salad later today.
Good stuff. Bring that brain of yours back to Chicago. Seriously.
Much love to those who have suffered and lost in London.
I just wanted to add that there are two large themes I take away from a barbaric act of fascist fanatacism like this:
1) That tragedy does bring out some of the most noble qualities in humankind. The stories of the victims helping one another and Londoners coming together through all of this inspire... Read More
Well, actually all I did was turn my head when everyone started laughing. Thanks for the words of concern as well as Musashi's. I took the book of 5 rings with me to Slovenia for a bit of enlightenment as well.
