I ran into the woman in pink scrubs again at Plaid this morning. She had her stitches out. She looks much happier.

That's one of the many awesome things about Portland. You wind up seeing certain people that you don't know like everywhere. You never end up talking to them but you totally know them. Sometimes you wave at each other or smile. Over the...

This morning as I walked in to the Plaid to buy a quick breakfast there was a cute blonde woman at the register paying for her giant can of Rockstar. She was wearing pink hospital scrubs but I guess she could have been a nurse or a dental hygienist or a vet for all I know. I noticed she had a curious necklace, like a...

I had a great idea for a blog. In the time it took me to open up this thing and get to this page it went from great idea to hackneyed cliche to boring crap. So as long as I have thing up I may as well say something. I find the ultimate goal of Nirvana a little creepy because it seems like it's less...

I'm still sick. I feel like crap. For the last week and a half they've been putting a new roof on this building. It fucking reeks of hot tar. They pound and run machines, florecent lights keep breaking in their fixtures, stuff is falling from the ceiling. I can bearly hear the phones. This smell is killing me. It smells like tar anf burning coffee...

HIGH SCHOOL
Music & Lyrics by MC-5




(Woh, come on)

The kids want a little action
The kids want a little fun
The kids all have to get their kicks
Before the evening's done


'Cause they're goin' to
(High school) rah, rah, rah
(High school) sis, boom, bah
(High school) hey, hey, hey
You better let them have their way


They only wanna shake it...

What is freedom really? It would seem obvious that if you were in jail or detained or enslaved somehow that you are not free, and yet:

Stone walls do not a prison make,

Nor iron bars a cage;

Minds innocent and quiet take

That for an hermitage;

If I have freedom in my love,

And in my soul am free,

Angels alone that soar above...

Anyone out there know anything cool about Niklas Luhmann? Anyone know if there are plans for a English translation of "Die Gesellschaft der Gesellschaft." the wikipedia article is cool but I want to hear more. Also, anyone out there in viticulture want to sell me some vines. I'm looking for Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Carmenere vines. Not like 1000 just one or two. thx

I was at Silver Lining on Wednesday and they had a Benchmade butterfly knife as one of many knives in their case. I asked the guy behing the counter if that was ever legal to carry in Oregon. They weren't in California back in the day, evenr though Butterfly knives were huge in San Jose when I was a kid. Part of the whole ninja...

I love that everyone sees what they want to see. There's usually a common thread that runs through it all but people still see what they want. I'm sure that at least a few billion people will notice the sunset today and their feelings will run a wide spectrum from blankness to profoundity. I love that people answer the sunset with their interpretations, meanings, feelings...

What is more important the you that you are or the you that I see? In America the myth of rugged individualism persists. That the you that you are is more important. I say myth because the people that we celebrate as rugged individualists are just popular. The truth is that everyone likes someone that's different in just the right way and no one likes...

Some fucked up things have been happening in southeast lately. The shooting of the store clerk at the Belmont Market. The rape at knifepoint at 30th and Stark. I'm so completely fucking angry right now. I knew Chester. I haven't talked with him much since I stopped working at It's a Beautiful Pizza, but he's a really cool guy. I wish I could find out...
