I FINALLY have a decent pic of what I really look like up here! I thought this day would never come...

I'm having a mellow evening, just me and my TV friend Dave Attell, and a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips. mmmm. Can you smell my breath from there?

Question:

1.) Salt and vinegar potato chips? Yay or nay?

2.) What's your favorite...

hey skruff....naropa has lots of schlorships and financial aide and stuff....send them some of you're writing!
they may very well just love you at the jack kerouac school for disembodied poetics---give you a full ride!---they do a writing workshop...i think in the summer, that you may want to check out as well.
my ex was a writer/ spiritual seeker sorta guy and was checking it out for their writing program. i thought it was really cool, but like i said..it's tiny! for awhile i was interested in their art therapy masters, but ...nah. and boulder rules! i loved it...i don't know if i'd want to live there for a long amount of time, but for a couple years of school...it'd be great.

[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.

when i write, it is the only time that i feel i am being true to myself. i have no masks, no shells. it is who i am. i might hate my writing, but it is my reflection. it is my reality.
prudence:
atmosphere isn't trip-hop at all, or anything near it. it's just plain ol' rap. i don't know where the hell they got the 'emo' from.

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.

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...

1) My "sister" veronica... we were best buds for nine years and we had a major problem with emotional boundries...I think (hope) we'll forgive each other.
2) A TJ jail cell. got drunk... got into a fight...i was detained... watching people shit and piss in a whole in the ground... very scary stuff.

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.

Maybe you should switch to menthol...

Ahhh. Sometimes it feels good to let it all hang out & just be yourself. I figured it was time you all got to see what I really look like...smile

Questions:
1.) Possum soup or possum pie?

2.) Miller High Life or PBR?

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...

Sigh. Yes, it is true. The bane of my existence:
No Soy.

I watched a little bit of that Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis biopic on TV last night before hitting the books. They had them cast beautifully, especially Jerry Lewis...when I first turned on the TV, I thought I was watching some old Jerry Lewis movie, but Dean was nothing to sneeze at either. I wish...

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.
