[update: orig pic back up for awhile. Mulletboy had his 15 min. of fame.]
There are mountains of homework and studying threatening to topple poor Skruffy right now. I think I'm going to be a lot less active on SG until at least the end of the week, just so's you all knows.

I had a stupid falling out with an old friend this weekend so that's what I've been a bit depressed about. It's been a little weird for me since I moved back to SD, sort of starting over in some ways and trying to meet new people, and then to go through a bunch of stupid bullshit with someone who I thought was an old...

First truth, life is "dukkha", suffering. Second truth, suffering is caused by desire. Thirst for things that are pleasing and repulsion of that what is unwanted and unpleasant.
Third truth, a way out of suffering aka "nirvana". Ceasing of desire and attachment is the cease of suffering.
Fourth truth, "dharma" a way of conduct out of attachment and "dukkha".
You gotta love it when it's that tidy and logical.
1) I guess a girlfriend doesn't count huh? The funny thing is that dramatic arguments and whatknot aren't as final and separating as just slowly drifting apart.
2) You know funny thing was I couldn't think of anyplace for a while and then the comment above reminded me and it was obvious - the 16 hours I spent in jail downtown.
Also I did some travelling. The first night was in bangkok which was freaky for me being the first time there starting my trip, arriving past midnight.
Coming into Calcutta was even freakier, an amazingly filthy and chaotic place.

Sigh. Despite what my muscle shirt says, I am not feeling especially alive with pleasure tonight.

OMG!
that pic sort of looks like this guy who asked me for change the other day. i told him i was broke and he said god bless you. not realizing i was talking out loud, i said "no he doesn't". big mistake. this guy freaked out on me, came really close and started yelling at me....."just you wait! judgement day is coming! you will pay then!"......okay now that was a little freaky. luckily i was just getting in my car and could drive off.
since i don't like possum.......neither.
since i don't like beer.............neither.
i am a vodka girl.

This entry is for all those who have seen Donnie Darko, inspired by a recent post in the illustrious Sadie M's journal. OK, class, there are two very important levels of irritation in life: mildly perturbed, and royally pissed. Many kinds of situations in life can cause one to fall near these two points on the mildly perturbed/royally pissed spectrum. Below are three questions. Please...

I almost watched that movie, but I couldn't. I am an awful critic.......
1. Blue eyes..................though you know I hold a place in my heart for Bing. Have you ever seen a movie..."Robin and the 7 Hoods" (or something similar to that??)? It has the boys in it.
2. I am sure I have put water in my cereal. I haven't ate cereal in a long time. MMMM I like hashbrowns for breakfast and a good smoothie.

Good morning, boys & girls. Repeat after me the word of the day: haberdasher. Ha-ber-dash-er. Very good. It is an old word that no one uses anymore, but it is time for it to shine again. Can anyone tell me what it means?

1) yes. I eat chicken noodle because it protects me.
2) Fuck, you're saying a calculator watch is nerdy? I've been wanting to get one of those so I could add up and calculate taxes on whatever merchandise I might purchase when I'm out shoppin. I would also like a pocket protector. I've ruined a few shirts w/o one.

Hey, thanks for the post about member shake ups. If you wanna email me about that, go ahead. I really don't know what you are talking about, and I hope that no one gets hurt in the process, what ever it is....
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
Thats all we know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and sigh.
-Yeats, "A Drinking Song"
the most perfect poem ever.

So I guess that confirms my suspicions that that's what those billboards in La abotu the pandas in SD were about. damn, maybe I should get down there before I lose the opportunity to see pandas. I mean, aren't they liek the only ones in the US or something. they're all black and white and fuzzy and don't want to fuck and stuff.

1. i don't have anything that makes me feel the way kazin is describing; nothing that helps me put my existance into a different perspective. raising my daughter, perhaps, but that isn't considered 'creativity.' i've always considered my personal creative outlet- my art- to be dj'ing. a lot of people think that it's just playing a bunch of records, but its not at all...at least not for me.
