I had several more lives to live and could not spare any more for that one.

i went to walden pond, but it was a dissapointment as i'm sure you could guess. gift shops and maps and such, not how he had tried for, he wanted transcendence and those things just don't add up, but whatever, so, i went to the spot where his cabin supposedly was and it was marked well after he tore it down, by rocks. On his death, well after the whole walden pond fiasco, Raplh W. Emerson and a mutual friend laid down some rocks where the cabin once stood. Since then there isd a pile of rocks, and one of them is mine, just so you know. My friend that I went with peed on a tree nearby and i couldn't help but think how appropraite that was,k and wished i could pee myself, but it was one of those moments.

Peeing on a tree was definitely appropriate. I also applaud the fellow who peed in Marcel Duchamp's Dada toilet at the Guggenheim last year. I love people who get in the spirit of things.

Isn't it though? I was having a Day yesterday, and it just seemed so apt.
