i woke up this morning to a bit chastising from rob brezsney:
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Visualize a scenario in which Israelis and Palestinians are still embroiled in a hateful state of siege for another 100 years. Imagine that the personal problems bugging you now will continue to torment you indefinitely. Live your life as [...]

my stomach aches with guilt. my eyes brim with anger.
when i wrote about [...]

oh, i’ve got it. i had a dream last night, a beautiful, sad, melancholy dream. i think the dream has washed over the day, tinting it a foggy blue. the dream was so

i’m wearing a melancholy coat today. i miss the sunshine today. i feel sort of sad about something, though i’m not sure what it is. perhaps it’s just the unbearable weight of my utter loneliness that’s bringing me down. i can’t quite put my finger on it, but i miss the days when i could [...]

my epic battle with loneliness is no secret. unlike what douglas coupland said when i heard him speak back in july, i write about it often. coupland had said that nobody wants to talk about loneliness. it turns people away, freezes them out. i would beg to differ on some level. i think people might [...]

so the artguy actually invited me to another opening. i guess my performance at the last one wasn’t quite heinous enough to bar me from the invite list. this, it makes me feel good.

i’ve gotten out of the habit of writing. this is not such a good thing. when i tell myself i’m going to sit down and write, i end up doing something incredibly stupid like playing typershark or something incredibly entertaining like listening to bad sex with bud kemp.
i’ve thought lots of thoughts. i have [...]

I carry one notebook with me at a time. I use this notebook for most everything. Work, class, writing whatever comes to mind, phone numbers, random doodling, you name it, it goes into the notebook. I’ve been taking classes at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis for about ten months now. I’m in the midst [...]
