about me
"There is no radical distinction to be made between what a man is given in the way of mind, emotional make-up, and body on the one hand and, on the other, what he is given in the way of outward circumstances and environment. Together they form a significant whole, and all are aspects of a particular individual life.

The being between birth and death scrawls -- in matter and in events -- a pattern which, taken as a whole, expresses his unique identity. This man, So-and-So, is not a sealed personality moving through an alien environment. He is the sum total of all that he does and all that happens to him and all that comes within his range, spread out (from our point of view) in time and space, but a single, timeless fact in the mind of God. What we are and where we are cannot ultimately be divided. And to accept our destiny is to accept ourselves, recognizing that what happens to us is as much a part of our nature -- in the widest sense -- as the most intimate moments of our own selfhood. It is sometimes said that the fatal bullet has its victims name on it, and fits no other flesh.

In the last resort, man looks at the love or anger or fear within him, and says, So this is me. Looks at his withered hand or wounded foot and says, So this is me. Looks at the woman he has married or the garden he has planted and says, So this is me. Looks finally upon his enemy and upon his death and says, So this is me. But in saying this, he bears witness to the fact that he is incomparably more than an itemised list of the elements that make up his individuality and its inseparable field of action."

Music of the moment


Step right up, step right up, step right up,
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, we got service after sales
You need perfume? we got perfume, how 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go, going out of business, going out of business
Going out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price, skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it? how do we do it? volume, volume, turn up the volume
Now you've heard it advertised, don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down,
Don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up

That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices,
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots,
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up, it's only a dollar, step right up

'Cause it forges your signature
If not completely satisfied, mail back unused portion of product
For complete refund of price of purchase
Step right up
Please allow thirty days for delivery, don't be fooled by cheap imitations
You can live in it, live in it, laugh in it, love in it
Swim in it, sleep in it,
Live in it, swim in it, laugh in it, love in it
Removes embarrassing stains from contour sheets, that's right
And it entertains visiting relatives, it turns a sandwich into a banquet
Tired of being the life of the party?
Change your shorts, change your life, change your life
Change into a nine-year-old Hindu boy, get rid of your wife,
And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator
And it steals your car
It gets rid of your gambling debts, it quits smoking
It's a friend, and it's a companion,
And it's the only product you will ever need
Follow these easy assembly instructions it never needs ironing
Well it takes weights off hips, bust, thighs, chin, midriff,
Gives you dandruff, and it finds you a job, it is a job
And it strips the phone company free take ten for five exchange,
And it gives you denture breath
And you know it's a friend, and it's a companion
And it gets rid of your traveler's checks

Well it takes care of business, never needs winding,
Never needs winding, never needs winding

So, since LJ is still locked behind the Great Firewall of China, I'm going to post a little update here.

So far the trip has been amazing. Went to Yangshuo first, climbed Moon Mountain, then spent a couple hours exploring an underground water cave, full of Cthuloid rock formations and mud pits for splashing around in. The next day we met up with Reed (a super cool Bay Arean who's been traveling around Asia for the past 6 months), we rented bikes for about 2 dollars, and rode about 16 mil... read more

I've often seen a man,
Yardstick and clock face instead of hands.
He has measured pain and pleasure both to death.
I've felt the kiss,
Of his narcotic lips,
He has probed in the folds beneath my dress.
I watch my feelings,
Fade way revealing,
A cold pathway to a bridal bed,
But when he lays me down
I just feign sleeping,
Cause it's not time to go yet.
No it's not time to go yet.

There's cancer in the air,
Think I've never been so scared,
Of the cold metal numbness in my chest... read more

I haven't been writing much in a long time, and last night, for the first time in ages, something just wrote itself. For stories on my life, see my LJ, but this I wanted to reprint here.



Once more Sleep defeats me,
Her tongues of static in my ears.
Once more time she beats me,
This bed, a rock-hard platter for my fears
To be served, like cheese and wine,
To Sleep, the greedy bitch,
Who can never take
Enough nights to slake
Her thirst, enough
To scratch her itch.
