in the past three days i've slept 15 hours and missed the train 4 times.
i've got to get myself together.

got me a new pair of socks today. etc...

my bike has a flat tire etc.

There is so much to be thankful for. Like frutmost fruit juice, and their revolutionary fresherizing process. By golly it's good.

First off we're all time travelers. It's just that we're all traveling at the same speed through time. According to special relativity, as one approaches the speed of light time slows down. So if you're traveling faster it appears that you are aging slower, and therefore since time is moving slower for you, you return less aged than those around you. Now, the earth spins at 1000 miles per hour, and it rotates around the earth at about 67,000 miles per hour. the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. could it be that the earth is in fact a giant time machine and it's rotation allows everyone on it to be a time traveler? And that the rate of time passage is directly related to the speed of the earth's rotation?

If so, all we need to do is build a giant planet and hurl it around the sun at an astronomical speed. I have a dream to do just that. I'm gathering a crack team of specialists as we speak. Join the team.

Flippin' sweet.

Got my photos back from Target. They didn't know what to do with my funked up negs, so they just printed as is. And they're sweet. I got doubles, but somehow the crop is different on each run, for two unique sets. Hurrah!

It is beautiful outside. I should go do something outside. I was going to go to dallas and visit my friends at matchbox but the train doesn't run again until after noon.

We need milk.

ask me about it sometime, i'll read it to you.

if you find some time spend it here . i only watched the invasion video.

A beautiful day for hot porridge.

First off the new Broken Social Scene is out. And the buzz if off the charts.

Second off,Anselm Keifer at the Modern. Check it. I am. Tomorrow with my painting class.

Third off, Richard Avedon 'in the American West' at the Amon Carter.

Fourth off, check out the schedule for movies at the Modern. Mirrormask, Capote, Werner Herzog??? I'm going.

I was at work downtown. And these street evangelists are always running around handing people tracts and shouting through megaphones. I get a real kick out of it. I'm thinking, here are some fellows who act boldly on what they believe. I don't know if they're right, but by god they've got guts. And i dig that. Well usually they let us alone, but this guy must have been new or something because he approached our valet stand and began talking to kim. Then he turned to me and asked me "how are you and Jesus doing?" To which i replied "well i don't know about myself, but Jesus is probably doing alright." Then he asked that question "do you know where you'd go if you died tonight son?"

"i guess only God knows that"
"not for the Christian, see the bible says that by faith..."
"right by faith, it's a matter of belief"
"Christian's believe that the holy spirit allows you to know"
"funny i was just talking about this with my girlfriend"
"well good that's good, son what's preventing you from praying a prayer with me right now asking..."
"i appreciate what you're doing, but i don't believe it works that way, you can't just pray a prayer"
"pray that the holy spirit will open your eyes"
"i guess i'll just have to wait for God"

then kim handed me a set of keys.

"i've got to run"
"thank you for your time"

i would have enjoyed a prolonged discussion with this man. Though not too prolonged, i doubt either of us was going to convince the other of anything. But sometimes i wonder if these crazy street evangelists are the right ones. Their certitude definitely speaks volumes.

i wanted to write something. what did i want to write. it would have made you laugh. and think.

what was it

what was it...

i don't remember, but i tried removing a wart with a pair of justin's pliers, i got halfway through then felt a little queazy and had to give up.
