Right now if this aint real to you
Its just one of those things you got to feel to be true
~Tom Petty (duh)
I realize that there are many people in my life who I have let down.
A countless many at that.
To list them would be futile.
To remember them is plentiful.
My 20-year high school reunion is this year.
Holy crap...

"...Tell me what you're thinking - I will write it in the sky..."
This line - from a song I actually find quite the gay - actually touched me this afternoon.
Because:
We showed our baby boy his first bubbles - and his reaction is one I cannot begin to capture through word - though the Kerouac in me tells me to.
His eyes lit...

And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.

I finally watched Walk the Line and I just don't seem to be able to express how many levels it touched within me. Perhaps because binkymcqueen had been turning me on and teaching me - mentor to muse style - all about the Cash stance in life...

I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void. The void is a mirror. I see my face and feel loathing and horror. My indifference to men has shut me out. I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams.

Literally. So I suppose I should really attempt some sort of update here...a little over a month ago there were some major shifts in the atmosphere at work - i mean like GINORMOUS shifts, all of which left me with a rather huge promotion - GINORMOUS even and my workload increased about 10x. It has been exhilarating and exhausting and awesome...

Dude, I'm shocked. I didn't think the year mark was coming for a while. Boy, am I oblivious. And, yo, I'll definitely hit up a Saturday morning sometime, for kicking it. Not this time, but maybe next week.

Before we knew it the evenings started getting cooler, and the first leaves fell from the trees and filled the gutters. Betty went to work on my last notebook and I continued to putter around here and there to earn enough money to keep us going. Everything was fine except that now I found myself waking up at night, eyes wide in the dark, brain...

I have to see that movie, damn it. Even despite the tarnishing done by the Bones man.
Prince is a fucking genius...this I have known for quite some time but as I listen to this live compilation I am reintroduced to his supreme awesomeness.
I saw Prince live during the Purple Rain tour and I had backstage passes and Sheila E was opening for him and sitting next to me during his set after she had finished hers. I was eating pot...

Henry Rollins kicks so much ass. I cannot stress this enough.
SO MANY LEVELS OF ASS HE KICKS THAT ASS HAS BECOME THE STAIRS LEADING UP TO THE PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART THAT ROCKY RAN UP (for those of you who don't live here) It is that many levels of ass that he kicks - those are a hella lot of stairs.

drink and expunge night? sounds like fun.
This past Friday night my brothers came over to check out coldenginelogic's latest batch of home brew - this being his own special honey brew recipe. They drank the sweet nectar with glee (it is really damned good if I do say so myself but I cannot drink the beer these days - must be my age - i was enjoying a nice, light...

Murphys mind pictured itself as a large hollow sphere, hermetically closed to the universe without. This was not an impoverishment, for it excluded nothing that it did not itself contain. Nothing ever had been, was or would be in the universe outside it but was already present as virtual, or actual, or virtual rising into actual, or actual falling into virtual, in the universe inside it.

i just saw your Young Ones profile pic, and had to stop by and give you props!

Seven things I want to do before I die:
1) Run a B&B in Tuscany
2) Spend a summer in Paris hitting all the places Hemingway frequented
3) Record an album
4) Have one book published
5) Be a grand-mother
6) Have a debate about music with Henry Rollins...

Most of us can't paint; this is why I have so much trouble creating in MSPaint for the S.C.A.B. Group!
I'd like to read the ST. Vincent Millay bio sometime; she is such a hottie and I liked some bits that I read in there.

And of course, it was a high-comedy staple of every '80s high-school student to put obscene compound words into the Electric Company face-silhouettes-recitation format.

i think i'll have a similar feeling 12 years from now, too. it's sad that some individuals just don't change or are just so afraid of it that it retards their ability to grow into an adult.
