Binges

Day one is always fine, a little nervous, a little excited
Day two is always the best, relaxed, pumping the remnants, good burn
Day three begins the dying
Day four is death

"I'm very flattered you like [my music] since I used a lot of tricks I learned from you, and you might not know it, but I made it with your mind in mind (which may explain why no one else seams to "get" it). One of those tricks is understanding the difference between mistakes and "mistakes." "Mistakes" are what the little man in your head are making. What I like about it is it gives me the (not altogether pleasant) Big Head feeling."

Ever Read Licensing Agreements?

Dang! I was gonna hack iTunes to run my nuclear power plant. WTF?!

I Literally Tingled...

...when I read this today:

"One source involved in the investigation said Miller's [newly revealed] notes could help Fitzgerald show a long-running and orchestrated campaign to discredit Wilson, which could help form the basis for a conspiracy charge."

The C word. Conspiracy. Rove-Libby-Bush-Cheney. Conspiracy.

I'll pass out if the I word emerges: Impeach.

Oh, now I know the glee of the right during the Clinton blowjob scandal.

It's pretty delightful.

Two Days Ago...

...i decided that i was going bald; and, unrelated, vomited.

What I Love

Autumn in the East

Autumn in the east
annual transition of spirits
one day life is miserable
sticky and hateful and unbearable

The magic of the moment
first a smell
a delicious hint of memories lost
for at least one year

Then one morning
maybe to take out the garbage
like walking into life itself
or at least the definition of fresh

And you remember
goddamn it is fucking great
to live - to be alive
it's like orgasm's fury

A nickel for your cliche
