Epee- casual cruelty

Pavlov’s pavlova dogs

Does 'being so happy you could spit' have to do with the amount of extra saliva excitement can bring on?

and another question...what the bugger does 'Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni' mean?

when the boys pick the movies-

Black Ninja is perhaps the worst film i've seen since that one horrid so called romantic comedy Val took me too about the chef whose cooking makes amore because of a magical crab (no it didn't make sense then either). The only redeeming feature of this film was the scene in prison with the large black male transvestite (complete with bra that was far to tight for him, no shirt, a long blond curly wig and ghetto fabulous talon nails) saying 'take off your pahn!' to the new prisoner in his cell and bitch slapping him repeatedly when he fails to do so.

Expenses

The school just got some wonderful new wooden chairs just like the old ones, only not broken. 200 of them at $150 a pop. That's a years tuition.

Hips are not only for babies and shopping but for throwing your weight around and other peoples weight around it.

I love my low center of gravity.

Someone called me short and wiry the other day. I've always thought of myself as stout since i'm a copy of my father's German genes, regardless of what shape i'm in.

the masses outside the ivory tower.

Today i met a lady in her late 20's who was the receptionist at my new dentist’s office. She inquired about my recent wisdom tooth removal. She told me that she had had her wisdom teeth removed not to long ago also...but it was because she thought it would be an easier way than dieting or wiring her jaw shut to lose weight. Finally, she began working out and that seemed to do the trick. Go figure. I think i did manage to smirk and not come off as an aloof bastard standing still and looking blankly at her stupidity as she laughed at herself.

Later my oral hygienist advocated me taking a year off from college, telling me to enjoy my life as she use to run and ski and travel and had sworn she would never work in an office...but...you've got to do what you've got to do to pay the bills sometimes, which is, by the way, a big but not end all concern for next year's activities. It was one of my high school English teachers, Mrs. Gardner who told me the poverty of college students would be horrendous and crippling.

My love song for this year. At least i'm not dating out of desperation...

The Magnetic Fields- A Chicken With It's Head Cut Off.

Eligible, not too stupid
Intelligiable, and cute as cupid
Knowledgeable, but not always right
Salavagable, and free for the night

Well my heart's runnin' round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

Woah Nelly

My wife doesn't understand me
Many dozens, hope to land me
I'm for free love
And i'm in free fall
This could be love
Or nothing at all

But my hearts runnin round like a chicken with its head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

We don't have to stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Lets just be lovers

Well my heat's runnin' round like a chicken with it's head cut off
All around the barn yard falling in and out of love
Poor thing's blind as a bat
Gettin' up, fallin' down, gettin' up
Who'd fall in love with a chicken with its head cut off?

It ain't pretty

If there's a book that would be on your person and stop a bullet from hitting you what would it be? It would have to be quite hefty, keep in mind. The collected works of St. Aquinas, The Koran, Your Diary, Shakespeare, Kant, Dickens, Dante, or Kerouac?

I do believe the second best game to play while drunk (especially with male friends) that doesn't necessarily involve full contact is Pretty Pretty Princess.

You give me fever

!@#$ someone got me sick. I'm going to track them by the symptoms. I dreamt Adam and Grae and Nico and Reagan and I went to Tequila for Spring Break. We visited the place where 'Planet of the Apes' was original filmed. Nicola and I played saber down one of the long halls. Kongsguard was there. He and i quickly planning some trouble and ended pissed off an old curmudgeon Mexican scout leader taking a bunch of scouts on a tour. Somewhere in the middle of the trouble i was planning with Kongsguard and the street house party that included a buffet around the entire inner wall of a house, the FBI came up through a man hole in the street from the vast underground tunnel system below the city to capture 'Aliens'. No, not illegal residential, but outer space aliens. They'd parked it in the front of the house and their festive bright colours just didn't disguise the craft as a parade float well enough. The last straw was when Adam and Grae got drunk on the beach front, took their shirts off and decided to get breast implants. They actually looked pretty good with them, and the girls all thought so too. Envious of the attention they were getting i decided to get some for the duration of the break too. They were inserted through a cut made about the inside circle of my areola. They felt like slightly hardish layer of mush in my breast. I woke up with soar tits. I think Reagan got me sick... or maybe Gus.

No one was at Greek. Because we didn't HAVE Greek today. I'd forgotten. But on the way out i showed Kirstin the Aikido moves we'd done Wednesday and Kongsguard the right way to punch and warned him about biting in fights because of blood born pathogens. Some things (like spilling scalding tea on my crotch and doing a scalded crotch dance) i don't forget no matter how delirious i am.

Why is there chuncky stuff at the bottom of my glass of Soy Milk?

Quirks:

Chasing rabbits and lizards compusively.
Being picky about food constancy, ingredients and origins.
Being revolted by the thought of being naked but with sox on or sex with sox on.
Sitting ON chairs, not in them.
Making a mess of bedding having ‘nested’ in it.
Living in highly organized clutter most often.
Likes licking envelopes and stamps.
Breaking into random song and dance.
Odd hat collection.
Rubbing on leather.
Rolling in grass.
Eating grass.
Sleeping with at least one knife or weapon near by.
Sneezing on people I truly love.

moving further in in resolution.

Since Christmas break i've incurred many more scraped, bruises and abrasions. What's more interesting is i know exactly during what activity they were caused, and when, and usually how, but i don't notice these little mishaps at the time and i certainly don't stop to give them the attention that would mean recognizing them at the time. If it's not something that affects the deep muscle tissue, joints, ligaments or the internal organs, it doesn't bother me.

Some similes i have heard in the past week.

It's like the timing of a counter question in an oral...
It's like a piano lesson with a great composer...
It's like taking a piss in your pants without getting up...
It's like a seminar paper...
It's like a stomach ache...
It's like a striptease...
It's like movement in defensive martial arts...
It's like visiting hell...
It's like a Viennese pastry...
It's like cannibalism
It's like a concussion...
It's like a bad relationship where they won't move out...
It's like a merangue...

For me the day is for playing, heavy exercise, travel and getting errands that just need to be done and don't require any if at all mental exertion. The night, when everyone else in their homes has usually shut the hell up, is for that mental work that needs quiet and stillness and the lesser changing night for continual concentration. Besides, it's sort of like this. Everything just waiting for you to pounce.

Maybe i lived in the tropics with endless steaming heat for such a long time, or maybe i'm now eager to be able to be feel awake instead of asleep whatever 'wake' and 'sleep' it may be, but i actually like waking up from dreams in a sweet, not a panic mind you, but hot and sweaty.

Power of the People.

So i went to my first protest today in front of the Roundhouse. No War and all. Yesss indeedy, a feel good event verging on organized and peaceful civil disobedience at times during the parade, it was slogan singing and chanting, sign waving, handouts, stickers and pins, smug stick burning, talk and chatting, smiles and frownes, speakers offering support, news and alternatives, banners, peace sign flashing, costumes, puppets, masks, bandannas, babies, bicycles and wheelbarrows, traffic stopping and drum beat stomping. Jews, Quakers and Queers, and everyone else from all across the board that don't want war. There were about 1000 people from all over NM and even Arizona. I recognized many there; Tutors, Johnnies, Shop Owners, Local Patrons, College of Santa Fe Students, and Local Artists.

I've got to say, it was better (for more people than me) than sitting at home and writing a poem about the current state of affairs.

In the near future, somewhere in a relatively small file at The Pentagon, a few new photos of me should be dropped in.

Conspiracy Possibilities. How far to Roswell Scully?

The U.S. government was afraid to release it’s first photographs taken from space of the whole earth. “What’ll happen when people realize we’re all one! What’ll happen to the economy or the arms industry!” – Bill Hicks. They thought panic would ensue at the sight of how miniscule we are and that further they would lose patriotic sensibilities. “Last time I check it was one fucking world.” –Bill Hicks.

Also in related facts: The U.S. government denies any knowledge of the existence of Extra Terrestrials. Which is funny since all of its citizens are by existing laws not allows to interact or have contact with Extra Terrestrials.

Show me to your Bush.

For Math:
Euclidian Ridden with Mean Extremes (use of the mean extream ratio in The Elements).
Everybody’s Doin’ a Brand New Dance Now, Come On Baby, Do the Logic Motion (Ptolomy and Kepler’s logic).

For Seminar: Between a rock and a hard place, one is bound to change: The Reason and Relation Of the Torture In Prometheus Bound.
A Deathless Death In Genesis Chapters 1-3: The Origin of the Death OR, a Death By Any Other Name.

And for my enabling paper, (at least for now since my language teacher wants some ideas spit out by Tuesday).

"Rock in this pocket" –Susanna Vega

It is the little unnoticed seemingly unimportant people that gain knowledge that would take down people, whole communities, businesses, and regimes. For my part I have no itchiness to tell, give away or share. That left me in grade school and I’m far too loyal now. I do look with interest at what may transpire from various pieces of knowledge and I do look out for the safety of those I care about or of what I care about. Yes, intents they’re called selfishly. The question is not exactly what was exchanged in a room on a certain day so much as how it got there in the first place.

It’s not that these little people with damningly specific knowledge are stupid, unskilled, and impassionate or any other trait commonly found in drones. They notice and that's why they know. It's hard to overlook all the crap of an institution when you're paid to clean it up. They have a special access while being in a position overlooked. Playing dumb doesn’t cut it for too long. They often are wearing a smile, because, yes, they know, you don’t and you don’t even know they know. Being moderate and doing their job without question and you may pause to wonder where such random and seemingly effortless their show of glee comes from. Trust and negligence of that trusts extensions and possible ends ensures the continued flow of information one way with consistency.

So smile back (i always try to remember too instead of looking dumbly puzzled), the way they do and be good to them, and who knows what catastrophic calamities will haply be avoided by both parties, what life and livelihood will be preserved.
