Let's Find Out!
ya live, ya die.
Times have changed and the world comes to us in different ways. Narrative has leaped from the page to the screen, music demands to be seen as well as heard, computers have jumbled our relationship to information, surveillance, and money, and television has merely changed EVERYTHING. Now things feel like they're moving REALLY fast, leaving us with the attention spans of kitties riveted by mouse-like movements. With the blink of a blind eye, we are soaked in sales pitches and infotainments that make history when THEY DO BUSINESS. (Thanks Barbara.)
i'm done. well ok, i'm not done, but just when i thought it couldn't get any better, it became painfully obvious that i "better" is not measurable, and therefore should not be part of a rationalist's vocabulary. i learned my lesson. solidarity and consistency. nothing else. nothing else ever.

My Interests

"How to Skin a Cat"
We are starting a cat ranch and taking one hundred thousand cats
Each cat will have twelve kittens a year
The catskins will sell for thirty cents each
One hundred men could skin five thousand cats a day
We could be dealing a profit of over ten thousand dollars
But what should we feed the cats?
We will start a rat ranch next door with a million rats
The rats will breed twelve times faster than the cats
So we can have more rats to feed each day for each cat
But what should we feed the rats?
We will feed the rats, The carcases of the cats...
After they have been skinned...
Now get this!!!!!
We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats, And get the catskins for nothing
We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats, And get the catskins for nothing
We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats, And get the catskins for nothing
We feed the rats the carcases of the cats, After they have been skinned
We feed the rats to the cats and the cats to the rats, And get the catskins for nothing
Rats to the cats and the cats to the rats And get the catskins for nothing!

now THAT'S a deal!
Mar adentro, mar adentro.
Y en la ingravidez del fondo donde se cumplen los sueños se juntan dos voluntades para cumplir un deseo.
Un beso enciende la vida con un relámpago y un trueno y en una metamorfosis mi cuerpo no es ya mi cuerpo, es como penetrar al centro del universo.
El abrazo más pueril y el más puro de los besos hasta vernos reducidos en un único deseo.
Tu mirada y mi mirada como un eco repitiendo, sin palabras 'más adentro', 'más adentro' hasta el más allá del todo por la sangre y por los huesos.
Pero me despierto siempre y siempre quiero estar muerto, para seguir con mi boca enredada en tus cabellos.

I'd like to meet:

As [he] watched his [girl] walk away..
..he feels a loss.
How is it possible.. - he thinks.
..to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance..
..so that when she was gone..
..he would not miss her.
Only then did he realize how wanting part of her..
..and not all of her..
..had hurt them both..
..and how he cannot justify his actions..
..except that..
..well..
..it was life.

We 3
I was tapping my foot on a Friday night To my favorite band I was pushed aside I said "hey don't push me no one pushes me" When I was face to face with the woman I admired And she gave me this look I could not believe And the cold stare remained; I wanted to leave
See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow When you're young and defensive it comes off offensive And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier Who wears the pants; it's faded but clear
She's your girlfriend, seems she ain't too fond of me I guess if that's the way it was meant to be There we were, just we three You, your girlfriend, and me
I've known you forever, you two just met So easily amused; how fast we forget In my jealously, my self-righteous greed She's a bit like a book I'm too far sighted to read And I wish you the best, I sometimes feel the need To say remember me
She's your girlfriend, as far as we can see Does she look at you the way she looks at me And here we are, just we three You, your girlfriend, and me
She's your girlfriend, it's getting harder to see Better just take her home, better just let her be When she walks out that door, you'll come looking for me

Books:

"I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the Imagination"- John Keats
All beings are subject to suffering. No one escapes... suffering is universal.
The cause of suffering is Ignorance. And Ignorance of oneself is the greatest Ignorance.
Ignorance, the cause of suffering, can be overcome.
The way to overcome Ignorance is the Eightfold Path.

Heroes:

my life.
my purpose.
my self.
my ideals.
i hope it's worth it.
