another end

These weeks have been going just so quickly.  I just reached another end to another moleskine last night.  Before I retire it to the collection, I'm going to send some of the randomness from the last few weeks of thought out into the cyberspacial world.  So, bullets:

  • the super duper weird way that all couples are:  the weird language & way of speaking to/at each other full of codes and signals and little things that mean big things and big things avoided.  patronizing or coddling or loving or joking-but-not-really-joking or joking-with-a-full-heart.  being on a pair is the oddest thing.
  • "It's always everything at once"
  • Sprinkling like a quiet cloud passing:  25 pencils and pens beginning to take a quiz
  • Things that bug
    • meeting people you think are interesting only to realize they're crazy
    • mismanaged time
    • everyone in the world's goddamned needs
    • elitists
    • that guy at open mic nights.  STOP COMMUNICATING WITH ME.  THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO COMMUNICATE WITH ME.
    • people's general internet presences
    • every single singer in the world trying to be Regina Spektor
  • Does education have anything to do with this?
  • The protagonist in this novel goes through a series of disillusions.  He wants to hold on to moral idealism, but the situation he confronts makes that impossible.
  • second chances every day
  • "Freeing yourself is one thing;  claiming ownership of that freed self is another."
  • relationships are weird.  others are strange.  the self is strange.  i feel like a watcher, next to myself.  observing myself.  watching it all complacently.  going through motions, my heart places somewhere out of the way.  safe, but hidden so well i'm not sure i can find it again.
  • fat legs won't stop.
  • well wait. am i who i think i am?  who they think i am?  who is anyone?
  • you think you're doing fine until you find yourself in the bathroom crying again.
  • CLARITY
  • there is no before.  we are always already.  
  • for give
  • john wayne had male lovers
  • somewhere! i saw the cloud coming and i turned it around!
  • unwavering & stable
  • myth:  we live in a classless society where everyone can move up the social ladder
  • recent google searches:
    • the effect of gamma rays on man-in-the-moon marigolds
    • mary mary quite contrary
    • lifespan of a fly
    • chuck d
    • wendy's new logo
  • where does that leave me?
