I'm working my ass off again after an extended holiday lazy session. I was getting a case of the blues, but being productive again gets my head straight. I fear that a life of leasure would put me in the ground, so maybe knocking up a dingy hotel heiress isn't all I figure it would be.

I have a new favorite saying which is:

Wow. Google Earth rules. I plugged in every address that I had memorized, which made me realize that I only know like... 3 addresses.

Kenyon is probably right. There is definately something wrong with Nevada chicks. Unfortunately, they care less about fun time in the sack, than giant bulging wallet in the pocket. Lame.

If you haven't yet seen google earth you should go check it out, it's cool as fuck. Easily navigatable satellte images of the enitre planet. Some areas are in better resolution than others, LV & surrounding area are among the highest resolution. I can easily tell which vehicles are parked outside my house, but probably couldn't make out a person on the sidewalk (if someone...

i'm a funny girl.
kenyon:
"You'll never get into the motorcycle group with a lukewarm attempt like that."

i figure i'll just wait for the "and the women who are fond of them" group to come along . . .

"At any rate, I said that I was going to change my name to mrblyster until her hubby comes to kick my ass. ."

that's pretty fuckin funny. something tells me she's the type of lady who'd appreciate a tribute like that. but then, as you say, she's not the only one to worry about!

-On some dating site under the topic of education I said: "mostly I read books and listened to motorhead"

a couple of years ago, during a "hiatus" from my longterm relationship, i initially responded to someoene's online pickup attempt largely because his profile was honest and mentioned that he'd never graduated highschool. it must have appealed to my JAP-debutante-goes-bad streak (i was never a debutante for real). we met almost immediately (protracted online courtship=wasted time, too much buildup, and false impressions, in my humble oppinion). we were together and very happy for a year, and are still close friends. moral: "self-educated" guys are fun! and fun girls know it.

(tho, fun as they may be, said chiquitas still might need the dude to "make the first move" before they feel comfortable showing that they are forward/aggressive types.

the REAL advice: ignore kenyon's unsolicited dating pointers!!! run from them.)

My odd social life regularly exposes me to "inspirational parables" mostly involving the god idea. Some are moderately amuzing the first time or two, most just nausiatingly sappy and painful to listen to after the 20th time. For instance, (and I'm giving you one of the least sappy ones, so no complaining) A guy has fallen off a cliff edge but manages to grab hold...

i like your lit crit on winesburg. i wish i had it around to grab for reference, but i got rid of everything.

"I haven't really read shit for the last few years."

i haven't really, either. a couple of books here and there. fewer things grab me these days.

re: brown, no i never went there. my bf did, but only after i (*swoon*) fell ill, and he thought he should get a "real job" to support both of us. i considered going part time cuz it's physically close to me and i was toying with the idea of getting certified to teach at community colleges. i took a few courses here and there on both coasts, never graduated . . . college is for pussies. wink

(oops - sorry, if you're some big academic or something . . . )

-If the method of recovery from addiction can be summed up in a few words it would be "surrender of self."

i bet most people could benefit from that method/philosophy, "addict" or not. course what do i know.

"It's silly how everyone I'm surrounded with sees the god concept only in the context of their own lives and desires."

i feel dense, but - if you care to expound -what do you mean?

"If you could keep her focused she would tell you wonderful stories about things that happened sixty or more years prior, but nothing whatsoever about yesterday."

same here. my favorite grandma stories are about when she was in the army (WAC) in her early 20's. she looks adorable in photos - the helmet with the dark red lipstick. kind of an unwitting precursor to sg.

"Blyss makes me dizzy she's so fucking hot."

can i tell her you said so? wink

either way, i concur. useless aside: she and i have the same birthday.

"Do you think there's a tactful way for me to explain that she could do so much better than him? him meaning the chopper of course."

dude, ok, i don't know you well at all, yet i KNEW you'd comment something to this affect ^. my universe feels so much less chaotic with the bit of order you provide.

tomorrow i get to hook up with an old friend from SF. also on the agenda: meet with potentially sketch photographer at seedy photo studio to explore doing a shoot. apparently they shot marilyn manson's latest wife there. some pinup model named something von tease. color me sold!

bedtime.
kenyon:
dude, no! i'm drowning in the chaos! wink

of course i wasn't insinuating that you're predictable or boring in the least. can i help it if i'm outrageously perceptive? wink

That's awesome. I guess that's why you have several bikes, so if somebody shows up without one, you have them covered.
kenyon:
"Oh yeah, there's hot springs all over the fucking desert. That really does everybody a lot of good when it's 115 degrees out."

you made me bust out laughing at the tone of this ^ leadoff.

i visited this particular spring in the summer, but at night, when it was (to me, at least) freezing. the one you describe sounds lovely.

why am i awake so early? i sleep til at least 10 every frickin day. i'm all pumped, like a little kid. guess i'm pretty psyched to give away all the presents i've been gathering in secret (for friends, extended fam).

thanks for the good wishes. have a merry xmas, dear. (or a merry xmas deer, if venison's your thing.)

X.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Super Solstice, or Lovely Regular Days to everyone. This journal entry I'm trying to cover all the bases. Therefore, I have presents suitable for all contingents. You may entertain yourself with either cuddly kittens battling for the title of cutest or you can feel the divine joy of being way past redline at 240(?!)mph. My personal choice would be to take...

On the way home from work today I stopped & sat on a rock to watch the full moon rise over the lake. At the same time, the sun was setting turning the other side of the sky purple. I had a seriously profound life observation which I will now share with you: The likelyhood of perfect moments for enjoying a cigarette has a direct...

i'm sort of sleep-deprived and out of it, and i just had a moment of, "oh, i didn't know paul (as in the apostle- there was a paul, right?) was into writing about philosophy of religion way back in the day."

check, on the symbology stuff. i fear for peeps who don't get that and who take everything literally. see, you DO like poetry!

which reminds me: say hi to sis for me (if it's the writing sis) and tell her she's got a new fan.

i wonder how you pray (and i'll _try_ not to fetishize it). probably in your head under your bike helmet. i wonder if you ever kneel though. is it bad if that turns me on? probably, right?

i'm not really asking you to tell me, as this is probably the most personal question one could ask. in fact i, exhibitionist that i am, just went to tell you about how i pray and my fingers just froze on the keyboard.

i'm thinking! before i "speak!"

think i gotta cash in for today, blisters. hope you have fun with your fam.

xo, "k"

i'll get bogged down by reality when you register yourself as "mature." not a concern.

I think you should totally redo those bikes (or at least one of them) for AHRMA competition. Gusset the frame & swingarm as much as they'll allow, do what you can with the suspension & rubber, etc.

Seen this? There are several other old bike clubs there, too...

Oh boy, fillings. It's been forever (like high school) since I've had any, so I had it all worked up to a horrifying ordeal in my head. No biggie apparently, duh. This is funny though: I got home & went to look at them in the mirror. What the hell, my inner cheek is all fucked up and bleeding. Apparently I was chewing on it...

that's weird; i think i published in a lit. journal at SUNY in buffalo . . . i'll have to check . . . maybe she was, like, my editor for two seconds.

"Errand #1: Make it the land of a thousand dies./Make it colorful and unmatched./Make it there and make it home./Do not make it your own./Make it in the manner of the old./Make it only with the well-known./Make it boast of its self. "

I just ordered a used copy of her book thru Amazon (weak, as she won't see the profits, but a girl's gotta do . . .)

thanks! i'm psyched.

Dear Santa:
As you know, this year I have been reasonable. I think my behavior should qualify me as "passively good." If you wish to avoid me returning to my usual "actively bad" I would suggest you consider my request. In case your memory is foggy, think back to Hopkins Road Christmas Eve 1981, that was ME. You never expected an ambush from from under...

WHO STOLE MY FAVORITE SUICIDE GIRLS GODDAMNIT?!!!
If you need a front stand for your bike, get one of these. They rock. I pulled the rex's wheels & took 'em in for new tires. While putting them back on I noticed that they didn't take the old weights off before balancing them. They just put more weights 180 degrees from the old ones. It's...

I think my comment was taken the wrong way.... I was just tryin to state that the chinese army has alot of old equiptment, and if they ever wanted to invade the U.S. they would need some serious upgrades..... there are alot of people in the U.S. that have access to the same knowledge as many of the insurgents in iraq...... wasnt tryin to sound like a wildman wink
