you think about me in the shower? oh man, that is so hot.
dude, i had totally forgotten about those poems. poetry is so awesome.

tearing your hair out, are you?

i think i would maybe own an apartment in nyc, but never settle there. for retirement i definitely want to be on an island in the south pacific, or perhaps one of those there islands that make up hawaii. either that or in some mountains that are very near the ocean. theres something about living out my days in a place to which people go for the surrounding environment. but on the side, sure, theres nothing to stop me from buying an escalade, then converting it into a convertible, and cruising in manhattan. that, and man do i want to take out a pigeon or two; sweet awesomeness.

agreed. yeah, come to think of it, i would not want to move to nyc "for good". but then again, i can't really imagine settling anywhere permanently. argh. but new york, in particular, seems like a place that you wouldn't want to get too used to - it wouldn't be as beautiful then. i dunno.

indeed. indeed.

those kinds of changes are the ones i find most interesting in the world.

sometimes, cooler still are those that don't.

yeah, lately it seems like being drunk would be a lot cooler than being awesome. argh.

yeah, ivy is one of those things that is really much cooler in the rain, i think. it's also cool when, on a sunny day, you happen upon an old stone building, and it's sunny, but standing by the building it is just cool enough that you start thinking about perhaps putting a sweater on, and you look up at the ivy climbing over the building - that's neat.
actually, downtown portland has some really awesome ivy type things growing on some newer looking buildings, which i really love. it's rare to see more contemporary architecture with ivy on it; it's neat.
i could keep talking about ivy, but maybe i should work on my thesis instead. although i'm sure your life has improved significantly now that you know my thoughts on the matter. heh heh.

pervert.

the man works with broken coconuts all day, what do you expect?

no, its certain that im just annoyed with people associating my taste in music with my personality too strongly. i know that not listing music that i like is not going to stop people from judging me based on my preferences, but i really hate how people who are into a certain band get grouped together, as if the fact that i like radiohead is the most defining tenet of my personality. the fact that i put louis sullivan as one of my favorite artists should categorize me more as a pseudo-intellectual than the fact that i own 'the bends' does. it reminds me of a dave barry chapter in his book on japan, in which he describes seeing a bunch of bands play on adjacent stages in a park or something. each band had fans that dressed a certain way and were attempting to be different in uniformity. bah to that. and also, i think that i was too quick to assume the reason that the question was placed in my profile was something to do with being hip. oh well. judgemental luke.

i think it's essentially similar to my issues with having blue hair. when i have blue hair, i immediately get categorized into the "rebellious kids" group, and most adults don't really listen to a single thing i say, because i'm just some punk kid. for a long time, i figured that it's ok, because after a while, they'll come to realize that i'm actually a mega-genius, and will be forced to reconsider their ignorant belief system, and i'll have done some good in the world. and then i got really fucking tired of always starting out behind, and having to constantly prove myself, and know that in some cases, i was doomed to failure from the get go, because some people simply REFUSE to listen to anything that a blue-haired person has to say. i desperately miss my blue hair, i am less happy without it, and less myself, ultimately, but my life is also, in many ways, much easier. i don't get stared at all the time, i don't have to put up with as much shit, etc.
so i think with music, it's the same thing. yes, i could prove that even awesome badasses like me can love ABBA, but really, do i want to put up with a ton of crap just to make my point? no. i'm lazy.
but man oh man, do i miss my blue hair. damn society managed to get over nose rings, can't they hurry up and evolve?
