Wyoming, my love
I just achieved the highest pinnacle of ecstasy any human being could ever hope to achieve ( Read more... ) -
MLK, Jr.
I have endless amounts of respect for Martin Luther King, Jr. How anybody could cleave to non-violence when the world is full of assholes is beyond me. Of course, I'm not inherently anti-violence myself, since I am of the mind that people should get what they deserve. This goes for everything from smacks to the head to smiles on the street. I ( Read more... ) -
Argh
Not all people who have children are stupid, but all stupid people have children. It is one of the great tragedies of life. -
California logic
jdub and I were discussing how difficult it is to drive in Berkeley. Berkeley has the worst driving streets I've ever seen: n-way intersections and illogical one-way streets. jdub informed me that that was done on purpose to encourage people to walk instead of drive.

Relativity
I am a little concerned that my life seems to be slipping by. When I was in school, time didn't move at all. Now I'm having so much fun, I'll be dead before I know it. -
Amusing town names
This country has some great town names.
Some of them stand on their own. I'd love to live in Pie Town, New Mexico or Bacon, Indiana, but I'd avoid Prison Farm, Montana. Remind me never to set foot in White Settlement, Texas or Dead Woman Crossing, Wyoming.
Liberal, Kansas may seem like an oxymoron, but no more of a contradiction than Virgin and ( Read more... ) -
All that wasted writing
With all the late-night LJing I do, I could have written fifteen novels by now. -
Identity and home
Californian Asians have attempted to draw me out before. When I evinced no interest in their exclusionary activities and showed no sympathy towards their cliqueish mentality, I was accused of being whitewashed. I finally realized that my feeling of distate stemmed from the simple fact that I was not like them at all. We did not share a similar ( Read more... )
