About Me

"The checkout guy hates his job. Or at least he would if he allowed himself to feel in his body the slipping away of his own precious lifetime. Perhaps, though, it's more accurate to say 'his own no-longer-precious lifetime,' since if it were really precious he would not -could not- sell it so cheaply, nor even sell it for money at all. But he has been trained to never think of that, and especially to never feel it. If he thought of that -if he felt himself spending the majority of his life doing things he did not want to do -how would he than act? Who would he then be? What would he then do? How would he survive in this awful, unsurvivable system we call civilization? How, too, would we all respond if we fully awoke to the effects of the drip, drip, drip of hour after hour, day after day, year after year sold to jobs we do not love (jobs that are probably destroying our landbase to boot)..." -Derrick Jensen

My Interests

Music:

"He told me not to bring him flowers, but I often brought flowers with me, lately cabbage roses. He seemed pained to receive them and did not really look at them until they started to decay. He could not wait to get rid of them so he could enjoy remembering them." - Amy Hempel

Television:

"And I've heard of creatures that eat their babies; and I wonder if they stop to think about the taste...and I'm a creature, and I'm surviving. And I want to be alone, but I want your body. So when you eat me, mother and baby, oh baby, mother me before you eat me." - Sunset Rubdown

Books:

"Once you make up your mind to get rid of something, there's very little you can't discard. No -- not very little. Once you put your mind to it, there's nothing you can't get rid of. And once you start tossing things out, you find yourself wanting to get rid of everything. It's as if you gambled away almost all your money and decided, what the hell, I'll bet what's left. Too much trouble to cling to the rest." - Haruki Murakami

Heroes:

"No separation of church and state? You even have to use the same toothbrush?" Her voice was low but very firm when she spoke. "You buy two blue toothbrushes exactly the same and keep them in a glass so you never know which is which. Yours is mine and mine's yours." - Jonathan Carroll

Walking is NOT allowed in India

The best thing I saw today was either; the monkey laying on it's stomach on the roof of a shop, observing the humanity below; or the dog lying dead in the sun next to a wedding procession.&n...
