my Heroes which are not always obvious to me but they hide in obscure corners of this world .THEY are THE LOST AND FOUND. i swear i have been someone else's compass for the last year and a half. i walk into a mess alot these days. thankfully i am an atheist so i really cannot blame anyone but myself. i miss walking. i used to do this alot in Chicago. i even miss the brutal winters. i had a Buick in Chicago that almost made it to l.a. but i had to abandon my beloved at a junkyard in Veil, Colorado. it was the high altitude and an erroneous mistake that led to it's end. i would like to mention that i am silently protesting a grotesque amount of details that i cannot mention at the moment. the list is far too long. perhaps i should start blogging...FAST FORWARD THREE YEARS...i started blogging, found God (just kidding), still find myself struggling with ordinary/tedious details that remain profoundly determined by time and money. what a bummer this is, but i still trudge that rock up the hill, and sometimes I try to explode the fucker,or at least throw a stone or 2. but i've been told recently (and i agree) that my heart doesn't have enough dynamite for this kind of temperment now. sometimes,and very rarely, i do miss the dark days of fragile inconsistencies: drugs, mind numbing tricks,underground friends, subterranean connections, and the varied techniques of escaping LIFE. less sentimental now, i am more concerned with Curiosity. now, mostly my toes curl up a bit when things are comming undone. that said, I have to admit Joy and a certain Fearless Fluttering of the Heart Everyday.p.s. I Like You
Dagfinn always finds the right words for me, "Witty and Sarcastic, problem with authority, problem with produce, prolegomena to future metaphysics."
Pagan Altruism-the "Golden Rule of Ethics". Dance you Heathens!! Dance!
I saw The Proposition by Nick Cave and it was so Beautiful.

I believe it feels and looks like a revolving door inside a department store. I do admit to certain modern urges, regardless of how many limitations I may install on my psyche. I like to be entertained. The world is a fascinating place, even if I may not agree with it at times.
Words I can't forget: J.K. Huysman, Jim Harrison, Joan Didion, Marilynne Robinson, Denis Johnson, and well, so many others...
