There, I went through my archives and found the worst picture of myself I could manage.
Actually, it's the only remotely decent photo I had on this computer, which is saying a lot, is about a year old, and appears to feature me making some especially dumb expression. Looks like this may also be shortly after I'd been hit square in the face by.. something heavy. Don't ask.. Hey, at least the painting in the back is pretty awesome.. at about 4'x6', it's actually pretty far from the camera.
I'm going to have to be doing some really strange scheduling if I intend to be ready for IGC in OR, finalize this land and construction stuff, and still manage to take that Japanese class I was planning on this summer. I feel like I really need to learn another language; so much of our world is defined by how we describe it, and having only one way to describe the world is starting to feel like such a limit (I mean, look at the way I write in English..). Also, Japan pumps out way more crazy media than anyplace else, and much of it never gets translated. Yeah, I'm a geek, but the Japanese class is probably going to have to go.
Man, I used to be such a drug fiend (well, I guess compared to most of the people I knew, it wasn't that significant).. everyone on this site reminds me of those days. Now I really don't even bother; my natural state has become so "altered" I feel stranger sober now than I used to while totally out of my head when I was younger.
I have a cousin in SLC who recently had his entire company taken by the IRS, or the DEA, not really sure which. Apparently he'd stopped paying taxes and was using company funds to support a truly heroic painkiller addiction, and they found out about both. He's sharp about the business thing but they ceased all of his assets and it's unlikely anyone will trust him with executive positions anymore. I'd like to get him, or someone, involved in my evil schemes so I can offload some of the actual business responsibility and get to the things I need to do.
Like figuring out what it is that I actually want to do.
Totally unrelated, but I want to buy one of those old warehouses in SF and turn it into a bar-club-thing, but I'd want to try to make it really unique, not just another random place to get wasted. I feel like there's no decent place to hang out for the truly bizarre individuals out there. I don't know if that's really viable, but it's worth thinking about. Anyone have any brilliant ideas in this area of thought? Everytime I go to SF I feel like all the underground hangouts have been bought out by legitimate corporate sponsers; it makes me sick. The facility could double as a bizarre art gallery during the day; not exactly an original idea, but it could be cool if you had some decent, strange stuff to display.
Oh, and just for your information, apparently scratch marks on your eyes are just as perminant as they are on your sunglasses. Except I don't think you can take your eyes in to get polished.. of course I'm not keeping up with the latest biotech research in eye scraping, so maybe you can.
