Sleepless Notes

this, this, & this

2007-02-11T20:32:00.000-08:00

My mother, the one who insists on sending me photos of her standing beside snowbanks to prove Jesus does not answer prayers, suggests I try online dating, in full knowledge that Jesus also conjured up the Internet via Scientology in order to emasculate me.

She says why not try this, this & this in order to fix things, & I say, okay, I will try smoking clove cigarettes but I will not (I repeat) will not get a Lassie dog for companionship. Especially since the last Lassie dog I had caught rabies after attempting to lay with a really fat raccoon on our back deck. It is hard to love something that froths.

This is how I came to rely on quantum physics to fix my life.
Quanta--don't fail me now!

This will amount to a hill of beans
No saxophone solos
Some self-abuse
The grey film on my tongue says:
I was in love

Oversentimentality killed my libido
dead, dead

If I were in a movie I would cut myself
bleed it out melodramatically

But I work
Find solace in physics

Why Is There A Photo Of Fidel Castro Wearing An Adidas Tracksuit In This National Newspaper?

2006-08-14T20:18:00.000-07:00

I mean
what the fudge happened to the Revolution?

This is not a rhetorical question.
This not a freaking rhetorical question!

Sometimes I ask my boyfriend to wear a Fidel beard & cap in
mother-frigging sack when we try the reverse-cowgirl for the
umpteenth time. & he plops out again.

We're not in love.
On a bright note: Oprah helped us find my G-Spot.

It's not where you think.
The revolution, I mean.

Truth be told:

there is no catharsis
only the release of hormones
& urea (not korea)

although evangelizing christians
& their speech in tongues
would add:

j. christ's stigmatic bloody palms
hepatic & hemochromototic?
(it's okay, I was a catholic teen)

evidence: no hairy palm self-abuse

HAAAAANDSY Hansgen's suprise bday party

2005-10-20T18:35:00.000-07:00

Suprise bday party for our beloved Thor... amazingly orchestrated by Randi! Good times had by all. An attempt by Thor at the pinata, which ended in the pinata being stabbed to death by the splintered remains of the brand new croquet mallet. Woot woot! It's his party and he'll stab pinatas if he wants to!!

Ross HILARIOUSLY falls asleep STANDING UP in an attempt to get his charade team mates to say, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
Thor's party hat
Thor blows out his candles... mmmmmm, pecan pie
After the party dwindled down to four people, we decided that we should continue to party and go to the Toucan... lordy... after our collective tab reached one hundred dollars, the bartend was an ass and told us that we couldn't have anything else until we paid... but we didn't let that ruin our party... we continued to see who could take the sexiest fake make out pictures... then we all staggered home.

ANOTHER GOAT HOUSE, HOUSE WARMING PARTY

2005-10-20T17:54:00.000-07:00

Saulnier, Vince, Lindsay's house warming party.. BURLESQUE! Also, marching band from skeleton park to the house.. quite rowdy, waking up the neighbours! I didn't get very many pics, sorry. i was quite inebriated by the time we actually got to the house... fucking marijuana...

the following is a list of things i learned tonight:

2005-10-13T21:47:00.000-07:00

1. knowing the ramones does not make you punk
2. the ability to correctly pronounce metastasize may be an indicator of intelligence
3. lance armstrong probably does not smoke
4. neil armstrong, neither
5. wishing does not make it so

remembrance of things past 2

2005-10-09T19:59:00.000-07:00

tiny messiah vs. the flame

Point of fact: after your first homoerotic dream everything changes.

Once you have to rebuild cities there will be lots of jobs.
They have fat, but I can't remember if it's good fat or not.

Put 'dichotomy' on my list of things not to say:
as in, the virgin-whore dichotomy.

Maybe a miracle, or a series of miracles will occur.
The president has started drinking again.
Your child is wearing a marijuana-themed hat.
Dont give the sterilization squad ammunition, pal.

I think it's clear that the longings of his heart were
satisfied when he came in touch with the combustion
engine. & an interstellar sage in a snowsuit

with a mouthful of porkrinds. & a lack of executive function.

everyone gets down...

I was reading Allison Pick's new novel The Sweet Edge & the Goat got a mention. Good for us. It is a great read. Everybody is publishing a novel or recording an album these days & it makes me feel like the least productive Kingstonian on Earth. Never mind how good looking everyone is these days; it makes a guy think twice about not hanging himself. Anyhow:

When did you become bad ass?

Nietzscheans in windows,
Starbucks cosmopolitanism & hot yoga regimens are all the rizzle.

Eccentric millionaire violinists & the mythomaniacal public talk of judeo-masonic conspiracies influencing gas prices & race in the antidiluvian south.

Dog breeds that help cure cancer,
Acupuncture gets a nod of approval from medicine.
What's next: a death row inmate seeking non-judgmental people to correspond with? Must like to read.
Catholic kids in uniforms like crusaders crusading to find smokes,
A baby doll that has taken the world by storm.
Cryptozoologists are the new marine biologists.
Michael Knight of Knight Rider fame suffered from one philia or another, he must have, statistically speaking.
The botoxic. The relationship between genius & madness.

Engineers dumping over garbage cans:
Didn't you used to be the Student Council treasurer at my high school? When did you become bad ass?

The world belonged to insects before we came along, that's what I heard in Marmora today. A maniacal possibly senile gentleman gave me a lesson in economics while the family next to me had a pizza delivered to their table at a coffee shop. Another lady said: "I have a theory that cats are evil.' And, of course, praise at 630.

I went looking for veggie dogs in Sharbot Lake but I had to settle for an open faced turkey sandwich with gravy in a room full of the smoking senile. I am a surprisingly good canoer and a surprisingly bad swimmer. A chipmunk that I named Chairman Mao ran into my cabin and wouldn't come out. I had to by a lantern from a nice Sikh family in town because it gets surprising dark at night. I wrote a poem called 'Contributions to the Rise of Al-Qaeda' and I'm working on a photo essay about protestantism and highway 38 north. No sunburns to report so far.

Am I doing this right?
