i think that one day when i write my autobiography as a novel (not a memoir) i will also get a therapist so that somebody will have to read it and talk to me about it
DECEMBER 14
if you fall off the path laid down before you it is very important that
YOU DO NOT LOOK BACK. AT NO COST,
FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER SHOULD YOU EVER. LOOK. BACK.
you will regret it if u do.

You are in Hawaii drinking milk straight from the coconut. The girls hula and the native men juggle with fire as you languish under the waving fronds of the palm tree. ka-shhh ka-shhh the waves break softly in the distance. With a passing warm breeze comes the realization that you have never been closer to the end. The time has come to make your decision. Do you embrace your destiny or retaliate against this unrelenting force with every waking breath. What do you value more, free will or the path Gad has laid out before you. Relinquish your will or struggle daily for the will to live. These are all excellent questions.

Actually i’m on a surfboard in waveless seas shielding my eyes from the light (forgot my sunglasses it always happens) as the sun fizzles out on the horizon
I rode my bike here.
I stayed there with a salty taste in my mouth. Months passed. Sharks circled and passed me by. the sun sank and swam and sank and swam in the dark my secrets whispered then lost to the currents.
the smell of coconut oil and You remember the palm trees calling your name as you drifted away from shore.

sometimes you are just not in the mood to listen to music or read a book or do nothing on the subway.
subway games:
- look at peoples' shoes only and guess what the rest of their body looks like, look up to see if you were right
- close your eyes for 3 subway stops and guess how many people are still on the train
- choose a subject and see how long it takes them to figure out you are staring at them, then smile
- compliment someone
- think about everything you are grateful for
- study each subway rider and imagine what kind of child you would make together

THE VORTICIST EXCERPTS
Our vortex is not afraid of the Past: it has forgotten its existence.
Our vortex regards the Future as sentimental as the Past.
The new vortex plunges to the heart of the Present.
The Vorticist is not the Slave of Commotion, but its Master.
The Vorticist does not suck up to Life.
He lets Life know its place in a Vorticist Universe!
In a Vorticist Universe we don't get excited at what we have invented.
If we did it would look as though it had been a fluke.
It is not a fluke.
Our vortex is fed up with your dispersals, reasonable chicken-men.
Our vortex is proud of its polished sides.
Our vortex will not hear of anything but its disastrous polished dance.
With our Vortex the Present is the only active thing.
Life is the Past and the Future.
The Present is Art.

But if you read this contact me. Once again you have great looking lips. I would like to taste them after a few drinks!!

Just wanted to say that after that exhilarating ride from St. Louis, I really really would like to get to know you more.
During the ride it seemed that you checked me out a few times. I could tell by the bulge in your "Daisy Dukes" that you were into me. Hopefully you saw my bulge and was into me too.
I also want you to know that I couldn't resist the urge when we were passing through Ann Arbor (of all places) so I went into the bathroom on the bus, and "took care of business."
I couldn't help it, and I also apologize to anyone who had to use the bathroom after me as that was one serious multiple spurting orgasm!
I hope you see this.
You are the "lady" (singing Kenny Rogers) of my dreams...
Send me an email telling me what I was wearing or something so I know it is you...

a story from craiglist
i love cat puke
After an 11-hour shift at work today, i just want to go home and relax. My cats wait for me by the door and yell for food. I crack open a can of 9Lives and split it 50/50 in bowls for them.
Cat #1 is a hog and finishes his half first.
*one minute passes*
Like a nuclear reactor meltdown, cat #1 pukes all of his half back into his bowl, licks his chops and saunters away. Mission accomplished, everything is fine.
*one more minute passes*
Cat #2 finishes his half, repositions himself in front of Cat #1's bowl, and eats all of Cat #1's regurgitation as well. Chops are licked.
*one more minute passes*
Cat #2 volcanoes half of his stomach back into the
same bowl.
Cat #1, probably wondering now why he is still hungry, goes and eats Cat #2's fresh spew (which contained Cat #1's original blowout).
It is somewhat surreal, as there is no left over cat puke, and the cats act as if nothing happened. In one way or another, dinner has been served.

here is something i have always wanted to know
How long can a human live unprotected in space?
If you don't try to hold your breath, exposure to space for half a minute or so is unlikely to produce permanent injury. Holding your breath is likely to damage your lungs, something scuba divers have to watch out for when ascending, and you'll have eardrum trouble if your Eustachian tubes are badly plugged up, but theory predicts—and animal experiments confirm—that otherwise, exposure to vacuum causes no immediate injury. You do not explode. Your blood does not boil. You do not freeze. You do not instantly lose consciousness.
Various minor problems (sunburn, possibly "the bends", certainly some [mild, reversible, painless] swelling of skin and underlying tissue) start after ten seconds or so. At some point you lose consciousness from lack of oxygen. Injuries accumulate. After perhaps one or two minutes, you're dying. The limits are not really known.
You do not explode and your blood does not boil because of the containing effect of your skin and circulatory system. You do not instantly freeze because, although the space environment is typically very cold, heat does not transfer away from a body quickly. Loss of consciousness occurs only after the body has depleted the supply of oxygen in the blood. If your skin is exposed to direct sunlight without any protection from its intense ultraviolet radiation, you can get a very bad sunburn.
--------------------------
At NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center (now renamed Johnson Space Center) we had a test subject accidentally exposed to a near vacuum (less than 1 psi) in an incident involving a leaking space suit in a vacuum chamber back in '65. He remained conscious for about 14 seconds, which is about the time it takes for O2 deprived blood to go from the lungs to the brain. The suit probably did not reach a hard vacuum, and we began repressurizing the chamber within 15 seconds. The subject regained consciousness at around 15,000 feet equivalent altitude. The subject later reported that he could feel and hear the air leaking out, and his last conscious memory was of the water on his tongue beginning to boil.

because if you don't believe that there is a god or some higher power or anything that is taking care of it all, you will have to find a purpose for yourself, because if there's nothing for you to believe in, there's no reason for you to care, and you might as well not exist?

JANUARY 28 2008
if i told you that once i killed a man because he looked at me the wrong way and called me a chink, would you believe me? i was pretty lucky, i guess, because i had learned how to break a man's nose in a self-defense class my senior year of high school. then i guess i got lucky again because while he was distracted i finished him off with a metal rod from one of those self-assembly racks that i just picked up out of the trash. you'd think it would be a big deal like the cops would just be there or something, but there was no one there and i just walked away and that was over a week ago.

well, the only way to go about it is you gotta build yourself a niche. you fashion a personality out of nothing and you play into it and before you know it that is the character you have become. and you're not pretending because you really believe in it!

i got on the 1 train heading uptown from canal street and he got on at sheridan square. he was middle aged and a smooth operator. in one swoop motion he looked me in the eye and handed me a small leaflet,
it said:
WHERE
are You Going
to Spend
Eternity
?
[illustration of outer space representing Eternity]
and this only surprised me because he was middle aged and a little squat with his messenger bag and one of those jackets. i put the leaflet in my bag and then he sighed and leaned back [with] (contentment?)
