Hopefully blogs are

the ol' one-year test.

and you make salisbury steak

by painful headaches

time from the dawn of complex
life too natural.

against the day


early word for t.
pynchon's latest is surprise
it is mind blowing

home (scene 2)

set mousetraps alone

disregarding the
avant garde for a moment
for real, who's better?

you know what you do when you assume

you make somebody
make a joke about the ass
the you and the me

Kierkegaard's notion of identity

grow a beard and the
whole world grows with you; shave it
and you shave alone
