It has been established that persons who have recently died have been returning to life and committing acts of murder. A widespread investigation of funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead have been returning to life and seeking human victims. It's hard for us here to be reporting this to you, but it does seem to be a fact.

Sometimes I feel like a zombie.
The B12 shots are pretty awesome but about a week after I get them I seem to crash and feel worse than ever. Thankfully that only seems to last a day or two.

do you wonder if the zombies worry about you?
i don't know, maybe i've grown up a bit. or a lot. the damaged-doll women i still adore. it's the fake drama and obvious narcissism, the constant over-analyzing of the mundane, the play-by-play of the moments which could be better spent doing that i can no longer stomach.

hrm. i really don't think that tattoos and piercings are always a cry for attention, whether conscious or not. i've heard many, many times that they are. isn't it possible for it to just be a form of self-expression, for my natural self to feel more exposed when i happen to have ink in my arms and metal in my face? it certainly makes me feel more like myself. someday, i want to look at my body and tell the story of my life. that doesn't really feel like a cry for attention to me. but maybe i'm just delusional 
how've you been?

there are lots and lots of countries that won't let you in if you have israel stamped on your passport, yes. good news is, like you said, you can get a blank one.

i just read your blog and it made me think about how much i hate girls.

We're all dancing to the same sad song.

I wish I had some rebuttal to that. But all I can do is nod in agreement and keep shuffling my feet.
i often dream i have and use telekinesis. at least once a week i awake from a full night's sleep comprised of opening doors, beers and enemies' bodies with the invisible steel fingers of my mind. this ain't your run-of-the-mill masturbatory Jedi-worship and it ain't your daddy's Nailed God loaves-and-fish type shit (though the latter is more appropriately known as transmutation). it's the rated-R mind-of-crawling-strangeness...

they are, in fact, pretty fantastic things. how are you these days?

Happy Holidays
Rome is simply amazing on, in and throughout so many levels. i haven't the words to express the gamut of wonders, curiosities and, indeed, frustrations i've experienced in the last several days. i fully expected to learn much about its history, art and architecture (which i have) but did not expect to learn so much of the language in such a short time. crypts, catacombs,...

The first thing I always notice when traveling is how it puts the U.S economy in to perspective for me. Even when you travel to places where things are cheaper than here it doesn't take long to appreciate out higher standard of living.
Glad to hear the trip is going well.

access to the cracknet is spotty. very, very spotty. we're supposedly trying to bring...whatever...to this country and we still can't, after 5 years of trying, provide more than a 56k uplink that doesn't take a dump twice minute. i'm a tech geek. i mainline RSS feeds, blogs, torrents and geeky slashdot news for breakfast. i don't need it, say, like a smackhead needs the white...

Holy shit. Welcome back. I didn't think we would be seeing you again.
Never been to Rome. Don't have a clue what to see. Hope you have a good trip though.

When I lived in Rome, many moons ago, the city seemed like a mood amplifier - happy people were even happier, sad people were even more depressed, I was mostly pissed off... many reasons, not the least of which were rude people. I was much more impressed by some of the northern towns... Perugia, Sienna, Venice...
There are as many beautiful things to experience in Rome as there are ugly. History is abundant, just peel away the layers and lose yourself. Chart your own course, watch out for dog shit, and explore. If you visit one tourist site, make sure it is the Pantheon - the place is magical... one of the greatest architectural achievements of all time.
That's all I can think of tonight. I'm sure any decent guide book could point you in the right direction.
