For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.

Thought is only a flash between two long nights, but this flash is everything.

I could write volumes about this but I won't. It is yet another example of a nearly perfect description of the human condition.

I can't drink beer. And I don't like the kind of drunk you get from wine. Instead of feeling happy and giggly, it makes me feel heavy and unpleasant.
The touch thing, it's more a matter of just being able to cuddle with friends when you're hanging out, then the making out with random people part. It's mostly an issue of being comfortable enough with myself that I can be comfortable with other people.

The not so sentimental favorite:
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you
All I want to do is have a good time now I?m blue
You won't boogaloo,
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearing it apart but fuck you
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo
You stepped on...

Hey Jude has been a love song for me. Someone asked me once if it meant anything to me, if it had connotations, and I said I didn't think so, so he asked if he could have it. It used to bring me out of myself. Now it just makes me sad.
Very tired but going out for beers anyway. I won't be tired when I'm out for beers. Tomorrow I'll be tired when I'm working.
Unless it's a better day than today...business wise.
Technology is complicated. Explaining, advocating and then there's the legal part.
Knowledge work. Whadya know?

This is one of the most succinct description of the human condition I think I've ever read.
Very nearly perfect.

I love child pose! It's perfect. I'm actually really good at balancing poses, for some reason, since I'm actually horribly clumsy. She even complimented me on that today.
I've been away for a couple of weeks learning some high tech stuff. 
It's a job and I'm happy to have it.
I've missed Venice and Annalee's journals a lot and for different reasons. Venice paints self-portraits in words and Annalee's self portraits are incredible digital pictures.
Venice is a literary artist.
Annalee is a photo artist.
Both are brilliant and beautiful in so many...

I was wondering what had happened to you...
annalee:
Hi! How are you? Thanks for the message, you are sweet 
Now I go for product training. Then I start selling. It's what I do.

I think that dreams are just dreams. I don't like the idea of overanalyzing them and making them mean some weird psychological bullshit thing.
Evelyn though, it isn't that she's self-centered. She actually cares a lot about what's going on in our lives, and part of the problem really is that she asks so many questions. Having to talk about myself is overwhelming for me, and when you add to it the having to translate everything we say back and forth, it's just way too much. And then she goes off on these long advice rambles about how I should be young while I'm still young, and go out and have fun more.
In general, I really love most of my family. I just don't like it when they come to visit, and you're obligated to spend all your time with them, so you can't get the time to yourself that you need without being offensive.

I got the job it's finally official.
This is a relief...I think.

The Buddhists taught me that emotions just happen, and that you don't need to judge them or change them, you just experience them while they're there, and know that they will move on eventually.
I saw "Last Days" by Gus Van Sant. I don't know if it was worthwhile. I guess it depends on what your tastes are.

I did get that book. At first I was confused, like "was this on my wishlist?" and then I realized that it was just a gift. So thank you.
How was the beer thing? I am always curious, but it wouldn't do me much good to go, since I can't drink beer.
What kind of job are you getting? If I may ask.
(I am trying really hard not to look at the emails I've already gotten, yours included. They're so tempting.)

I was thinking about writing. Something I used to do a long time ago. Well, actually I still do but now it isn't the same. It's non-fiction now before was just prose or poetry. A long time gone.
I've lost the edge that I had then...I'm not sure why that happened. I've really fought the cookie cutter life that many of my friends and acquaintances...

Common People, Disco 2000, Do You Remember the First Time. By Pulp. And, Mysterious Ways, Beautiful Day, Numb. By U2. I dance around my room to them.
I have always wanted the middle. I have always said that all I've ever wanted is to be okay. It's still sort of true, but I've also always projected "okay" really well, and I'm getting very sick of that. I think for me to find the middle, I need to explore the other extreme for a while.
Any time I hear someone speaking anything but English, my mind jumps immediately into French, even if I know a little bit of something else, it just turns on French mode, and that's all I can think of. I don't even know enough French anymore to have a conversation.
I don't worry about him in terms of me, and what I've done, or how I could help. I just worry about him, as him, wonder how he is managing to get by, wondering if he is okay, or if he will be. I guess it's more wondering than worrying, really.
