I can't concentrate...
too much on my mind at once
Too little mindfulness
too much on my mind at once
Too little mindfulness

Rhapsody, a state of elated bliss
Like delving into the dirt
Or that evening when
It all just came together
We lose it all so fast
Like blinking lightning
Or the way she stumbles
And always rewrites her first lines
Still, I remember waking up with cold feet
And walking across the newly tiled floor
Or watching the fan blades spin
In moments of dizzy perfection
And I know what I have to give
If I’ll let myself come full circle
It’s time to give up and give in
And wait for the universe to collapse
--and begin again
Again, and again, with both joy and sorrow
The ever-expanding moment, with you, asleep
Laying by my side
As I fall into a dream less punishing than True
It’s rhapsody, that state of elated bliss
Like delving into the dirt
Or that evening when
It all just came together
Like delving into the dirt
Or that evening when
It all just came together
We lose it all so fast
Like blinking lightning
Or the way she stumbles

And walking across the newly tiled floor
Or watching the fan blades spin
In moments of dizzy perfection
And I know what I have to give
If I’ll let myself come full circle
It’s time to give up and give in
And wait for the universe to collapse
--and begin again
Again, and again, with both joy and sorrow
The ever-expanding moment, with you, asleep
Laying by my side
As I fall into a dream less punishing than True
It’s rhapsody, that state of elated bliss
Like delving into the dirt
Or that evening when
It all just came together

Plugging in a midi keyboard to an ancient computer and using ancient text-2-speech software = 8-Bit Music for nerds
Listen to the cover of Enter Sandman by Metallica... it'll make you smile, I think.

Dancing without moving
Walking through invisible walls
Shedding layers
And dreaming of ice-cycles
And chocolate eyeliner
On her fastidious lips
November is too long
Leaves and a metal rake
Colorful, in it's coldness
And zippers on handrails make clanging noises
They are filling the hole in the earth
On Guadalupe
With Pipes and useless things
I want my link to the depths of the earth
I want it intact...
I still want to be waiting for you
Walking through invisible walls
Shedding layers
And dreaming of ice-cycles
And chocolate eyeliner
On her fastidious lips

And zippers on handrails make clanging noises

So, Yakov Smirnoff evidently is trying to get in touch with a friend of mine. He evidently met her at a psychology conference. I find this uncomfortably hilarious. What could he want?!

Texan Tolerance Tribulations
Tuesday, November 8
I was dragged to a KKK parade this weekend, but I missed the 12 guys in hoods speak... oh well. Anyway, here is something you should know about if you live in Texas-- go vote today:
"The ballot includes proposition 2, which would amend Texas' constitution to ban gay marriage. Gay marriage is already illegal in Texas, but some Texans are so concerned about a future outbreak of tolerance that they want to amend our state's Bill of Rights to deny equal rights to an entire class of citizens." --Jon.
Find out where to vote by going to http://www.friendsvote.org and entering your name & county.

Cat Stevens aka Yusef Islam evidently sued the Flaming Lips over the song Fight Test and its similarity to 'Father and Son'... the 'Father and Son' cover by by Johnny Cash and Fiona Apple is supposed to sound really close to the FL Fight Test...
Women may enjoy humor more than men
link to article: "it could be that [women] are more engaged in scrutinizing the humor to decide if it fits their views on what is acceptable humor. Once they decide the humor is OK, they could be experiencing a relief-like response"
Men, again, are easier to please. Interesting topic...

This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. ---Ecclesiastes 2
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind. --- Dylan
I don't need no arms around meThis too is meaningless...
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Don't think I need anything at all.
No! Don't think I'll need anything at all.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall. --Pink Floyd
The brittle is easily shattered,
and the small is easily scattered.
Great trees grow from the smallest shoots;
a terraced garden, from a pile of earth,
and a journey of a thousand miles
begins by taking the initial step.
He who contrives, defeats his purpose;
and he who is grasping, loses. ---Tao Te Ching

In the morning, construction men on Guadalupe open holes in the earth
I smell Fresh ground, reminding me of elementary school ---
I am running around, chasing the girl with the longest hair
Never aimless
At dusk, walking across the cold night air
I want to climb this fence
Lay in the dirt, close my eyes
And imagine you with me,
Aimless invitations
Quiet murmurs
Waking up with cold feet
And a dozen forgetful lovers
