June 15, 2008 – 7:50 pm

Originally written on 17 June 1996
I had a dream with my father in it. He was young. My age and he was very handsome. We seem to get along quite well. I seem to have also been travelling with another buddy who appeared to be like Nick Nolte. We were flying in a plane and [...]

Retrospection

January 1, 2008 – 12:01 am

My earliest memory is undefined as such. There is no one memory that sticks out from the rest. To me they are the pictures in the box in the attic of my relative’s houses. I look at them and understand what they are of and who is in the pictures. I don’t remember the time [...]

I brought an empty litre plastic bottle past the great TSA today, filled it up at the water fountain on the other side, and thus didn’t have to overpay for a basic need, transport of water.

Weird in Santa Cruz is Expected

September 27, 2007 – 11:26 pm

Living

July 4, 2007 – 12:00 pm

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, for they, too, have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, [...]
