Notes from a Friend's Town

It would be naïve of me to assume that we would never have those annoying obligatory exchanges. The ones where the “right” questions are posed in succession with the calculated but slightly random 7-10 second pause as the list is covered. I’d rather sporadic honesty much more than regular calculated concern. Forgetting events/people/places isn’t actually that bad….I usually forget where my cell phone & keys were last. Those are of immediate importance I made a concerted effort to not speak in class today in an effort to make sure that the opinions that aren’t voiced when I speak were heard. I made it all the way to the last 10 minutes & blah. I spoke. There is no reason why I’m nervous every time I do this but I am. The more advanced notice, the more I fret over it. I’ve begun to upset my friends with what has been deemed unnecessary nagging concern. So in an effort to at the very least glimpse at a b...

Chapman on Stucco by Banksy 1. I'm so glad we made amends & that you signed the peace treaty. Watching your eyes well up with tears upset me. 2. Too much coffee + too late at night = a literal memory dump for a dream sequence 3. Working harder makes us better do it faster stronger. seriously it does. 4. Binder clips are my friends. No really, they work wonders.  5. Spring has sprung and I'm over winter. I asked her why the long face and she just gave me the cold shoulder. 6. I think I speak for all of us when I say, I'm glad it appears that this one maybe around awhile. It was getting a little more than annoying hearing you complain about being lonely. 7. I'm back @ it again. Look at the rabbit run when you open the pen.  8. Where's Waldo? I have his other shirts & I'm sure he could use shower & a nap. 9. The lamb is close enough to smell but she hasn't arrived yet... 10. I should've gotten a copy of the picture before I gave it to you. Perha...

I’m having the dandiest time forgetting those cute little pet names that I employed some time ago when it was appropriate. I’m not upset that time has passed but I don’t really enjoy being reminded of it without requesting it. I want what I didn’t have in the first place but I won’t ignore this consolation prize (which is ofno consolation at all) 2 Green thumbs down for the end of winter. I was really enjoying those cold @$$ mornings!! Somebody get me Jack Frost’s #(s) ASAP!! I’m not too keen on following domestic policy, as it changes & develops more & more every few hours but it appears that the same problems have been on the table since Bush Sr. was in office well over 20 yrs ago. Would somebody please find Safe Adu, beg her to take a break from her wonderful life & make one last studio album? Suggest that she doesn’t collaborate with Mr. West; we don’t want to waste any new material. There was a time when being Nerdy wasn’t the business, now it appears that the more of ...

1. Hiking = my (re)new addiction 2. Its always interesting to be reminded of where you stand in someones life. I once believed that those whom I saw the most would hold me in closer regard than those I only see occasionally. I was wrong (yep!) and its never felt soo good to know the other side. 3. At some point in childhood we begin to remember days as seperate entities, Monday being different from Tuesday etc. I think its special when children don't recall the last day they saw but rather the emotion they remember you by. 4. Longer than (my) average hair is driving me nuts but I refuse to cut it.....yet 5.  Pity parties are worthless, costly, & over rated. Get over, you could be not living and then your worries would be reduced to the care of your soul... 6. I told you'd I'd call when something of merit occured.  7. I'm looking for a more p.c. replacement for odd man out. Any suggestions?? 8. Being told you possess untapped potential and actually tapping said poten...

It is not only the foundation of the present lawlessness and loss of democratic ideals; it has, more than that,led the world to embrace and worship color bias as social salvation and it is helping to range mankind in ranks of mutual hatred and contempt, at the summons of a cheap and false myth. - W.E.B. Dubois 

& now I don't know what to do. It's not that I don't know what to do, its that I don't want to do what I (think) know to do. Why must this be so confusing?  I'm concerned that if I act contrary to instinct then I'll be left with a mess. I'll once again be employing time in the hopes that I'm wrong...
