no talent for history
This past New Year Eve, I had dinner with small circle of friends, and like a group therapist, I said, "A'ight, now we're going to go around the table and say what 2015 is to you. What are you going to make it? You know, like that lame-ass, '2012, make it happen!' trend ( Read more... ) -
boringing it up
I believe in militantly being oneself. Or at least in my case ... because I know deep down I'm not evil, and hell, I might be from the future in some aspects. (Whereas, if you're truly a psychopath then you wouldn't even know that being yourself might be detrimental to people's lives anyway.) I can't stand the message that it's inevitable that we ( Read more... ) -
scawwy dweams
The mental image I have of myself is of Goldie Hawn in those few minutes of Death Becomes Her when she's 400 lbs. in sweats, cackling in front of the TV. I don't give a shit that I'm a big ol' emo mess and people have probably whispered behind my back about that all my life. It's part of my fucked-up charm. Where's a turkey leg so I can throw it ( Read more... ) -
a garden with no walls
I just fired off short, crazy-sounding messages to three people from my past that I think about a lot in the middle of the night. No, I'm not drunk. (And for the one who might cross-reference this almost-defunct journal, no, I'm not going to hurt myself, ha. I just can't balance sounding cryptic versus sending a meaningful message ( Read more... ) -
unbearable whiteness
My energy must be closed, for the past decade or so. I used to be the go-to for freaky stories because I would always attract the loonies. Perhaps I was just desperately drawing treacle from an ancient tree. Now I'm one of those people who can blend in the background easily without being noticed. I should start a thievery campaign I suppose ( Read more... ) -
The path home full of clowns
On my way from work to the train station, a raspy homeless man, dreds done up in topknot like Sho'Nuff, layers of coordinated Starter jackets wrapped around both his torso and legs, performed a modern, 2-dimensional Noh drama to an approaching businesswoman ( Read more... ) -
Guide to posing for portraits
Whoa - I just found something I scribbled down over a year ago:
My guide to posing for portraits (based on who you are or want to be):
Writer: Act like you have an attitude problem.
Rock star: Try hard, really hard, to look like a fashion model.
Fashion model: Think not deadpan, but dead.
Politician: Like you have real, tangible dollar signs ( Read more... ) -
There-must-be-a-multi-syllabic-German-word-for and good .coms
I'm in one of those moods where I'm red-faced and waving my hands in front of my mouth like I ate something hot because I'm so impatient to spatter out all the thoughts of universiality coming out of my stupid head. I suppose I captured it well years ago in three words: "explosion of intangibles".
Same thing: There must be a multi-syllabic German ( Read more... ) -
