You go to my head...

Anxiety will prevent an individual from seeing beauty in him or herself.... Egotism will prevent an individual from seeing it in others....

Like Bubbles in Champagne

My eventual wife will be rather fond of pearls.
Obsessed in a sense...

And if it's not pearls then something synonymous
like turtles
or tea pots...
picnic baskets.

Either way, there will exist a necessary competition...

I shall marry her for her face and photography....
I'll shall remain faithful for she'll be much more than that...
Much more!

Pissing on these ancient Aztec Indian walls

Pissing on these ancient Aztec Indian walls, I'm reminded of two things: -

Southern winds still make the act difficult
Such follies still stain my trousers
Such a wonder.

Recycled....

I am interested in anything dealing w/truth, honesty and any attempt to acquire them. Equally so, however--contradictorily perhaps--I am also interested in camaraderie, brotherhood and love....

Remember

99.999999999999999% of what we do is forgotten.

Irony....

When you realize there's a potential you might be wrong, you've equipped yourself with the capabilities to eventually be right...

The Office Social Milieu

Every moment is an unoccupied stage...
wherein one is forced to act without purpose or relevance...

Random Compliments to Random Readers

I could spend the better part of an eternity picking your brain...while remaining constantly enthralled by the true breadth of your wonderful character....

Socialization...

Possessing a strong sense of sensitivity to those around you is as endearing and attractive as the world's finest intellect...

Concerning things...

(Insert words here that mean something, make you feel funny in the bathing suit area, and makes you pee a little bit cause you're laughing so hard.)

Believe me there is a difference...

There is a tremendous and equally powerful difference between:

Confident and strong people and simply angry people who have convinced themselves of flawed ego-based fiction.

These are the days of our...

I didn't see my Cuban friend fall....

But when the calvary walked in...I was all eyes....

And while my maid was pretty, endearing really, she was awfully scared...




It is true, today was a strange day....

Emancipation

Believe me: Arguing w/ you is about as rewarding as finding you attractive...

Advice...

Stop letting your unbruised ego make assumptions your intelligent self knows nothing about....
--

Celebration

Talent is celebrated...

But so is mediocrity...

Purifying

The individual constantly trying to affirm his/her authority is usually an individual oblivious to the reality of a situation.

Condolences

The unfortunate truth about feminism is that it must include the idea of 'man' within its doctrine. It cannot fully separate itself from it.

Not only unfortunate, but also depressing...

Public Transit

I completely underestimated the level of ignorance among early morning public transit travelers.

What I Wish for...

A simple request...

Simply having my wants and needs match up and shake hands...

To say hello, of course...perhaps give one another a nice big hug...

A sloppy wet kiss...

Or at least can...

Whether to play the victim along side the prey, or the prey along side the victim--both of which being lead by a narrow-faced preditor, misunderstanding--is what drives my character.

Power

Power shifts; remember this....

The road less travelled

Believe it or not...alcohol certainly takes its toll.

With that, the eventual outcome of excess is a want to change the game you initially started...With that, comes a second bout of excess; perhaps in a sense, a more healthy round of excess--sobriety...though like before, its root purpose is no different--change, escape, difference.

5 o'clock at the wine rack

You know, it wouldn't look like I had a drinking problem...

If you fuckers did shift work.

I mean, jeez.....

Redemption...

The alcoholic's problem is not necessarily with alcohol...rather, it's his inability to be satisfied with his sober reality.

To be sure, this is a semantic distinction...

To be doubly sure, this is a drunk conversation....

At The Road Side Crying....

There is something innately beautiful about letting someone into your private world, what...with all the moats, solders, hedges n' all....

Yet, I'm the type who enjoys a good peeper, you know?

Rather than a guest.

You know the type, they camouflage themselves to match the hedges...

They bend branches...peer in.

Build attractive ladders....

I dig these folks, for like me, their guards are positioned at every post, armed and ready....

Thoughts...

Every boy desires to outshine his father....

In every son's mind, though....
Exists the voice of a father....

A voice that stops any of that nonsense from happening....

She Drove me Crazy...

Aw, guys, come on...it's not that she's drunk...

Her problem, if anything, is more with gravity...

The difference between Music and Love:

With music you have individuals collaborating--using talent to create a third entity.

With love, you've got two schmoes merely running into each other.

If music has taught me anything, it's that love falls short of being truly beautiful.

Moments

January 5: I miss the sounds of my childhood gymnasium....

Patience is a Virtue...no, no, no...

Virtue exists, not in patience, but in the attainment of experiencing what you had once not possessed...

In other words, there is beauty in negation and slow change...

An Exercise in Stating the Obvious

Did you know you don't pee when you're dead...and that fish swim when they're hungry?

Gonna Be...

I'm gonna be a big man some day...

I swear...

Oh, but what to wear, what to wear...

Lost little girl...

"This is no place for a graveyard...." she said.

"This is no place for dreams neither...."

Perceptions

Of course it make sense to you; if you're the one looking in the mirror asking the question....

Roles....

I'm just a boy who simply played the role of a genius...

That's all...

In Defence of Fiction

Tell me....

Tell me: what have you experienced...

that has not become a story?

The Natural Laws Concerning Non-reciprocation.

If you turn her off;
She'll turn you on...

Motivation and Weakness

The Optimist fails to realize he's scarred. But the Realist is all too willing to show him the knife....

I Like to Sing

I like to sing in the shower....

My audience?

The four walls....

Beyond that?

My unfortunate neighbors....

------------------------------------------

They're nice people, though....

So, we'll forgive 'em....

Concerning Steak and Head day

I'd give my left pinky toe...Nay, a tub fill of talent, to be able to get it up simply because a girl had offered me steak and head...

First off, I dig cooking...

Second, one's mouth is better filled with words....

Preference

I've always admired women who knew how to talk...

Rather than those who knew how to kneel...

Hope V. Faith

Hope is convincing yourself that something beautiful will eventually happen.

Faith is convincing yourself that it already has...

The Benefits of an Ideology...

An ideology affords a being two things:

* The gift of believing in something
* Patterns of behavior one uses to give oneself a sense of identity.

Note, this says nothing about the truth of one's reality.

Remember this...

Epiphanies are tricky....

The Arthurs of Ophelia

The Arthurs of Ophelia is a philosophical exploration of what it means to be human.

From the rational to the sublime...aphorisms coupled with spirituality...rational convictions coupled with spiritual insights. Comprehensive and unique, the Arthurs of Ophelia highlights the refinement of the senses and attempts to highlight the basic foundations of belief, value, brotherhood and love...

A Peanut, Post-it Notes and Elephant Shoes....

I will always believe in you...

A Sense of Loss

A sense of loss...

Here is again born the stature of a child...
A child is again born...

Take me from this weak misery--
Strong again, like a playground bully.
Strong again, like an oblivious smart child...

Here is again born the stature of a man...
a man is again born.

Declarations and Independence

Looking at you makes it easy to understand the concept of beauty....

Raconteur

Little Red Riding Hood's detriment wasn't the big bad wolf...

No, no, no...

Her detriment was the fact she had a grandma...

Lines

There is a fine line between clever and common....


And it all depends on the audience....

When the Doves Cry...

Why is god (spirituality in general) the only alternative to meaninglessness?

Don't Feel so Bad...

We're all at the mercy of my temperament...

Up to and including me...
