So I've been thinking about dying lately. My brothers, my friends, my grandparents, people I loved, now gone. Nice people, caring people, loving people. According to the latest astronomical data, our solar system crosses the galactic equator on December 21, 2012. A numerologist's dream right? 12.21.2012. All prime numbers. If you add up the year, you get 5, the number of perfection, according to the...

hiya,

you know that verse from Corintihians? It's used in a lot of wedding ceremonies. at least verse 11. Anyway, yeah, I think though, that the reason I like to sleep is much more mundane, unfortunately. My roomate and I drink a lot of wine and scotch throughout the week, so every morning we drag ourselves out of bed to our respective jobs and just try and pretend other people don't exist.

I like the poem, even though rhyming couplets not associated with a Nordic Epic poem usually seem forced.

To be honest, by the time we make it to Friday, we're both just so exhausted with the effort to act normal in a corporate hell that it's all we can do to have our dinner night on Saturday. It's so exhausting to be fake. I never realized this until I joined the corporate world. In my band, I could drink, smoke dope, take as mauch vicodin or demerol as I wanted, and nobody gave a fuck as long as I covered the bass parts.

As a music major, playing the AltblockFlote, manuevering my fingers around the bass was relatively easy, so 5 vicodins, 2 shots of Vodka, a couple of valium and whatever else I happened to get my hands on, did not really impede my musical sensibility.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well when I'm forecasting budgets. But whatever, I'm too damn old to go back, too young to go on, so right now, I'm just making it through. Someday, I'll be old and broke, living in a rooming hotel with everybody else who thought that they would certainly die young, and then, I figure I'll just drink cheap gin and watch daytime TV until God decides to let me rest.

Today I'm just tired. Just a whole lot of no fun. But the weekend approaches, I've got some steaks and asparagus in the fridge, and am looking forward to life without an office.

Just another Wednesday, I'm afraid. You know what I do? I put Highway to Hell on the phonograph, turn my amp up loud and pretend I really am in ACDC.

Granted, I've had some moderate success with music, I've even been on the radio. One of the greatest moments of my ridiculous existence was at 0630 driving to work to SEGA to test video games...

Regarding the group you requested: Post a thread on the Sex Talk board about it. There does not need to be an entire group for that topic.

omfg. What am I doing? I'm a Theologian and a guitar player for Christ's sake. And now, to make the rent, I took a job at some fucking jackass PR firm as their OFFICE MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can barely look at myself in the mirror. What happened to the days of opening for Butt Trumpet one night and Greg Allman the next? What happened to my...

So I'm getting my Ph.D at Berkeley. It's kind of boring except to me and my advisor, but we think it's fascinating. Basically the premise is what happens if a human psyche is confronted by pure evil unmitigated by a human agent?

I mean, people can do good things and evil things, but we can always rationalize the person as being "evil" or "good". The...

On original vinyl? Nice.

Hmmmm I don't know anything about Kabbalah in a scholastic sense, but I don't think she's claiming any sort of scholastic validity, if you will. I don't know enough about physics or psychology either to know how accurate or off she is, but with that said, I think the connections she makes and the ideas she's talking about are extremely fascinating.

lol yeah. everything my record company publishes is always released first on vinyl. then we move to digital media.

I have like a zillion records and I just can't seem to let vinyl go. I still listen to my original White Album, with all of it's scratches and skips in preference to the cd version.
