Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.

that settles it. i HAVE been doing art. oh, yeah, art.

this is from early last year, i think...it's done with acrylics and/or gouache. i don't know if i like it, but i think of it as a spiritual landscape applicable to my life. i did not put brush to paper intending to make this picture but certain things like a coffin, a turtle, a pregnant woman, appeared to my eyes and i tried to pursue them to the point that they would also be visible to persons viewing the paper. i don't know if i was at all successful.

anyhow. after wrecking my car yesterday i have spent the greater part of my waking hours pursuing music and making sure it was on both of my computers. then i spent about 45 min. or an hour this morning ostensibly playing video poker, but to be completely and brutally honest what i was really doing was the DREAD:

self pity. goddam i hate that; i fight it too. this morning it was mixed with a big ol' dose of self hatred. cause that fucking wreck was my fault and it's bad news for us. and the book, the book!

so, i am working on the book...the file that i am putting into submission shape [double spacing the text] is at 234 pages this morning, and when i post this i will commence a serious search of the hidden spots in my bedroom where the vital untranscribed chapter is hidden.

then i will transcribe it. that's why i was at the quotation page this morning. it was for the book. :)

no, really. don't hate me. i'll try not to as well, and the feeling sorry for myself? man i never spend appreciable lengths of time in that sucky feeling, just one step from hopeless. i have hope yet and reasons for it even.

so - that's the scoop. A DEMOCRAT FOR PRESIDENT IN 2004

Virgo Style:
cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose onto their
bender . their famously fussy quest for purity
could lead to drinking less than other signs,
sure -- but it could also lead to drinking
booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or
just to brand loyalty. they rarely get sully
shellacked -- but oh! when they do! Virgos
controlled by the intellect, but there's an
unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it
loose when walloped. its dead sexy (and
supriseingly unsloppy). as every virgo friend
should declare, 'im going to drink myself into
a low level of inteligence tonight' a toast to
the subgenuis IQ
