Critics have sometimes accused me outright of philosophical or even theological tendencies, in the belief that I want to explain everything philosophically and that my psychological views are metaphysical. But I use certain philosophical, religious, and historical material for the exclusive purpose of illustrating the psychological facts. If, for instance, I make use of a God-concept or an equally metaphysical concept of energy, I do...

now don't tell me i'm on my own there!?

thanks sweet man, a hug is appreciated, and heartily returned. stuff is a little bewildering, quite often, but i feel like i am learning. also, i must never underestimate the powers of yoga and meditation to buoy me up. never.
1. not much really. for bedtime i am reading Collected Stories of Collette. but it's not really doing a lot for me. in my newly found capacity as a photographer's assistant i have been advised to look at more fashion mags, so i'm doing a bit of that. obviously this does not feed the soul much on the textual content side, but studying photos, contemporary and money-making types, is food for thought.
2. my heart is sewn to my sleeve, in indelible stitches. i want to be the winter sky.
(how's that?)

micro-organism
Adam Had 'Em
as for me, I too am waiting for adam ant to burn down the discos
1. I've always got myself in some verse, right now it's Arthur Rimbaud Season in Hell & Illuminations - I rarely read novels but I happen to be in the thick of Dostoevsky's political novel The Devils
2.the thing about sex in Alaska is location location location call it rugged eroticism, Nature is an aphrodesiac

Another three months passes, again I find my space-cruiser crashing through the stratosphere, careering catastrophically into the wet, rocky gravity-well called home; I'm barely holding things together, fending off KARG, the evil, tentacled, space beast in his overwhelmingly powerful Intergalactic Ttrent Destroyer, all because of some minor fracas involving who did (or didn't) obliterate his species in an entirely understandable communications failure, when, somewhere over rural Oregon, the wifi pinger pings, I'm ever-so-briefly back on SG, and this is what I find...
I am stunned clean out of my everyday happenings. You have my deepest sympathies. It sounds like he has plenty of people who won't forget, and maybe more than a few who will pass something on - I won't be asking for more than that when I go.
In the crazy-mad piratical space-dash that passes for normalcy around here my thoughts are turned your way. Look after yourself,

hey there. i hope things are sticking together for you - in many ways.
i thought of you this week when i happened to come across an interesting chapter about capoeira in a book i'm reading. i thought i might mention it (although you might have already read it, or perhaps aren't interested). but on the chance that it pushes your buttons (or flips your switches - or however it happens in connection with your specific wiring):
Drewal, Henry John, "Memory and Agency: Bantu and Yoruba arts in Brazilian culture" in Mirzoeff, Nicholas (ed.), Diaspora and Visual Culture: Representing Africans and Jews, London and New York: Routledge, 2000.
The book is currently on my desk, but i'm returning it to the library this week. Library number: FA 816823

there has been a death.
that's about all i can bring myself to say at the moment.
if i start with the details, then it will have to be a full purge.
for now then, the simple fact: there has been a death.
i'm doind okay. i'll be back soon.
but for now, there has been a death.
forgive the dramatics.
love to all.

thinking of you, even though i don't even know you
1. less personal but more financially rewarding, a review of A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong... for which i am awaiting the cheque! - yay money for doing something pleasant, satisfying, and even kind of enjoyable... AND i didn't have to work a 12 fucking hour shift for it either! ... and the editor really liked it and has promised me more....

Dialogue poem
If the thunder rolls for a while
And the sky is clouded, bringing rain,
Then you will stay beside me.
Even when no thunder sounds
And no rain falls, if you but ask me,
Then I will stay beside you.
- from the Hitomaro collection.

drinks motherfucker!
teela:
stuff like this is fantastic. i can only stare and marvel at how so much can be conveyed in such depth in so few words. i don't know much hitomaro but what i've read i've liked, and i find a lot of oriental writing has that peculiar combo attack of superficial prettiness with succinct delivery - i mean how the message doesn't get lost in the presentation, if that makes sense, yet so much thought seems to go into the sheer aesthetic of the presentation.

I work here. And, despite the website, it is actually a rather wonderful establishment. We make fantastic drinks and, furthermore, since there are only three bartenders who work there, I can safely say "we" and guarantee you great cocktails. You can't always say that. However (and here is where I stop sounding like a living, breathing, honest-to-goodness human ad-board) for the paltry membership charge...

Re: my friends thread: if you are interested, it would be nice to see you at the viet lunch i'm sort of organizing (at the request of those that are apparently too busy to organize...). yeah, anyway, its close to your home i think, cheap and tasty, and why wouldn't you want to spend an hour with the most sloppiest eatters in the northern hemisphere? or not, just a suggestion, a nudge, but no hair pulling.

and i don't know, i think your bemused expression was pretty endearing
but maybe to avoid such random encounters at unexpected moments, we should possibly arrange a 'next time' and hang out sometime in the near future...
and i am just putting a photo journal from the tour together for bizarre's next edition. just random snaps from our very random adventures
