This blog is a joke and I'm pissed at myself for ever having created it.

GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

like i said A VESSEL OF THE PUREST CREATION

Blows rain upon the one you loved
And though you were only sparring
There's blood on the eye, unlace the glove
Say, honey I am not sorry

evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand

I have been mean all summer! It is relaxing but I can tell the exact ways I'll feel dull when I'm thicker. Anyway, my stomach is in a bad place. Anyway, your wrist is thinner than my circling fingers. Sometimes it is only one thing helps me not to be scared.

I only bought souvenirs for myself.

Souvenirs:
1) Duty-free carton of "Gitanes"-'gypsy women'
2) Cork-pull/bottle opener idol of Mannekin Pis
3) Tank top with Elvis sewed in

I am dropping axes everywhere I am looking out for my future. Everything is simple! Except, what if I never find a real job? Probably I couldn't wait tables if my life depended on it.

"you can't really stay with the person you leave your family for" -- good luck, everyone.

In Europe I saw my favorite gargoyle!!!!

"Lying in bed next to Karen several months ago, Alex said, 'I love my mom and my dad, and my own self.' I liked that."

"It seems both Karen and I had a struggle as parents by the end of the week. For me, especially late at night, I become enticed and find myself being especially directive, not enjoying herself or myself. I was able to catch myself one night, and remember that it's not how I'm feeling that matters, but about doing my best to respect this child and her feelings and treasure her vulnerability rather than batter her with some of the cranky stuff I got. And we ended on a good note that night."

"Karen and I almost always give hugs and kisses to each other and to Alex before one of us leaves for work or school. It's an interesting semantic (and relational) situation. Does one ask to receive a hug and a kiss?or does one offer to give a hug and a kiss? The other day I said to Alex, 'I have a hug and a kiss I would like to give to you,' and she said, 'Give it to Mom,' and watched very carefully to see if I followed her directions (I had already given Karen her hug and kiss). Then I chanced to ask Alex if she had a hug or a kiss for me and she said, 'Yes, I've been saving them for you.' I was really glad I asked and risked a possible second rejection. The first was not really a rejection; she seemed mainly interested to see if hugs and kisses were transferable. Tonight, we were headed to the grocery store (Alex and I). Karen was sending us off, I had given her a kiss goodbye. Evidently Alex didn't witness this because after she had given her mother a hug and a kiss, she instructed me to 'give her a hug and a kiss.' I did and she watched me carefully. 'Now tell her that you love her.' I did as she said. We were all quite delighted."

Compare this to a review of the book "1-2-3 Magic: Effective Discipline for Children 1-12":

"The gist of the plan is to enable parents to discipline children, ages 2 to 12, by instituting a system of counting and time-outs, delivered straightforwardly and unemotionally. How the regimen is used to stop undesirable behavior, stimulate desirable conduct, and cope with children's testing is conveyed in Phelan's candid style, filled with common sense, concrete examples, and lots of reassuring humor. Time-and parent-tested, the methods are applied in identifiable situations (pouting, bedtime, dressing) as well in the all-too familiar incidences of children testing and manipulating their elders."

"The Tortoise, too late, understood that he'd blundered,
when he felt his flesh stabbed and his carapace sundered.
As he fought for life he said, 'Tell me why you have done this,
for now we will surely both die!'
'I don't know!' cried the Scorpion,
'You never should trust a creature like me,
because poison I must. I'd claim some remorse or at least some compunction,
but I just can't help it, my form is my function!
You thought I'd behave like my cousin the crab-
unlike him, it is but my nature to stab.'
The Tortoise expired with one final quiver,
And then both of them sank, swallowed up by the river.

The Tortoise was wrong to ignore all his doubts,
because in the end, friends, our natures will out."
