while i was cleaning my apartment today i found a book with 5 crisp 1957 $1 bills and 2 crisp 1976 $2 bills in it. i wonder if they're worth anything beyond $9.

droopy is:
- no, i'd have recognized the saber dance. i may not be "all about" classical music, but i know that much. besides, they said the name of it, i just didn't quite catch it.
actually, the station is KNTU - North Texas State University, which has a certain prestige for its music department, particularly jazz. they changed the name of the school to University of North Texas (UNT) a while back, but never changed the radio station's call letters. so i do it for them.

droopy is:
- quite true, bitter one. but what do a bunch of computer geeks want with light and space?
did you get that quote from the same source i did - tropic of cancer?
"Cannot you see, cannot all you lecturers see, that it is we that are dying, and that down here the only thing that really lives is the Machine. We created the machine , to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch, it has blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act, it has paralysed our bodies and our wills, and now it compels us to worship it"

sorabji is:
- i don't know the khachaturian catalogue all that well, but i'd be surprised if he wrote anything for mandolin. it was probably something from spartacus or gayanah.
this whole bidness of staying at my job until the end of february is weirder than i thought it would be. hauling my sorry ass into the office every day is the most thankless and perfunctory chore. at best i get shit from the boss and other colleagues, here and there i get the no-eye-contact treatment from people i don't know and only worked with for a couple of months. for the most part i either dial random telephone numbers in manhattan or else i work on my own stuff.
last week i got the "package presentation," which was really hard to manage. the HR person was talking to me like i was about to slit my wrists, and i knew that anything i said would be taken as a cry for help. so they handed me the "Living Well" brochure for the company's psychological services and i joked that i thought it said "Living Will," and they were not amused.
what they don't know, or what i hope they don't know, is that i know the company's psychological services better than i wish i did, and it's the most useless service imaginable.
if they knew me at all they'd have been at least non-plussed by that comment. but this was the "package meeting" being delivered to me by people who know me about as well as people who only know me via this web site.
since HR has its script to deliver they also have a catalogue of ways to interpret comments made by the person being given the speech. it was so moronic and condescending, but fortunately i got out of it with even more cash than i expected. so i'm just gonna shutup about it all.
first thing i did when i got home was to check the train and bus routes for all the places i've never been.

confused.
angry.
still slightly ill.
tired.
unable to discern what's important and what isnt.
this is a literary quote free post.
unable to figure out why I bother trying...
...trying to relate to any of you.
sometimes the term "nerd" comes to mind. then I have to laugh.
nerd. nerd. nerd. nerd.
your comfort in the romanticized ending of all things that have and will come is just as paper thin as your saturday nights alone, with desolation station radio.
im not shooting up the gallery, just kicking a table or two.
My wife always patronized me for my doings here. The few friends i speak to, about some of the conversations here, look confused when I remark "My friend online....". You can see them asking "who said that? some guy on the internet? wtf?". I might as well be speaking of a dream I had with an unidentified character, with barely decipherable words. I've also noticed, no one else i know has ever said to me "my friend online.." or "in a conversation i was having online...." No one I know has ever said that. Strange.
At times, I'd refer to any given person as "my friend online" but i've never been comfortable with that either. Just who the fuck are you and why do I even try and relate? We have nothing in common. Why do I act like Mark is someone I know, or is a friend of mine? HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! The fucker has said two words to me, and that was to deny me a sorabji mail addy in a retarded attempt of mine to fit in. One of the first converstaions i recall coming here was about a friggin Sorabji tee shirt. NERD. Sorabji-fest? NERD. Why do I act like any of you are actually friends? That'd we'd hang out and you know...get drunk and share stories and actually respect each other? This place is the last bastion of respect. Those pictures of the kids in New Orleans couldnt have looked more awkward. I mean come on. You could see it in everyone's eyes, the exercise in futility must have been heavy. Everyone seemed to long for that familiar they left behind in their respective hometowns. How many were actually thinking of what they'd post online more than they were actually enjoying what was happening at the time? Rhetorical.
Some people trick themselves into thinking the dialog at times is some sort of "big kids debate". Such lies! No respect. I want blood when I debate, or at least wine dribble on my pants.
it seems when the forensic, shady masses that dig here get too comfortable, someone should remind them, "HEY! this is still meaningless. No matter what stock you put in the web, no matter what illusions you create for yourself, its still an empty and an emotional void. Its just a trick people."
Yeah, thats what Im doing.

How about that over-rated fuckhead Guliani ranting about how we were attacked for our beliefs? What? Do you even have a clue sir?

that I did, Droopster.
actually, it's "tropic of capricorn" and i botched it. great quote--wish i knew enough of Melville to figure which book it's in--sounds like a "Moby Dick" kind of phrase, but I've never been able to finish that one.

that I was at a Mojo

rubbed the cell phone

- used to live in Woodside, 44th Avenue, one street north of and parallel to Queens Blvd. Haven't been back in a long time. Used to like it -- the ethnic mix was Korean and Irish, so you could get awesome bulgoki and kimchee for dinner and then hang and drink guiness at the local pub, and the 7 train was an easy ride into the city or to a Mets game.
That's funny you mention moving to FL Dani -- my ex-boss just HAD to move to FL 2 years ago, sold his house, moved his family down, and went down without even having a job offer. Now after 2 years, he's dying to come back. Grass always greener I guess.
Today's my first day on the patch. Not much of a substitute for that 1st smoke of the morning chased down with freshly brewed coffee -- the coffee seemed really "naked" without the smoke. I'm sure beer will seem the same tonight. Ah well, it was time -- I was hacking up some funky looking pieces of lung and shit. Plus cigs are now $5/pack and a new tax is on the way.

Alot of people come here with the attitude that Florida is cheap to live so they wont have to work as hard. Not true. Real estate may be a little cheaper but you still have to work just as hard because the bills still have to be paid.
There is one thing I do miss about NY...well water. Mmmmm...cold, tasteless well water. And it was free too. Here we have city water which we pay for and it's kinda chloriney tasting so we just do the bottled water thing.
We get a bill each month for water, septic, street lights, and garbage collection and it averages around $100.
Water restrictions are tight and I'm a flower and plant junkie so if I dont water everything each night, they die. If I get caught watering with city water, I get fined. So, we hooked up a sprinkler system to the lake in the back yard and now everything gets watered and I dont get fined.
Dont think I'm allowed to that either but I dont see another choice.
Oh well.

Dougie is:
- Nah, my boss has a good work ethic, he just realized FL wasn't the place for them. I'm glad he's coming back -- he's a good guy and I missed hanging with him. Re well water, I love it too, the more iron tasting, the better. Gas in Long Island's about $1.20, but I filled up in Jersey over the weekend for $1.05 -- it's always cheaper there.

- hanging out.
in limbo at the moment with tasks here at work.
its a busy busy busy week.
I may have a photo shoot tonight but im hoping we dont as Im exhausted, and it would definitely go late.
Need to go get that sketch pad for Mrs Waffles, for her BD. Hoping amazon delivers the copy of "Perfomance" and my Chomsky book today.
Must buy alcohol en mass. Hoping to rope my buddy in with a Costco card for beer and hit Trader Joes for vino.
Process Steve's headshots by Thursday. Hang Tom's paintings, get the DJ set up, clean the studio, trick it out, on top of coming to this joint 8 hours a day.

- is really really wanting a cigarette. Yesterday wasn't so bad, today's bad. Plus I put the patch on my right butt cheek since it's fairly hairless, and it fucking itches. As the song goes, I'm cursing Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git.

- not paying anything for his cigarettes, but of course that could have something to do with the fact I don't smoke. heh.
Dani- that sucks camel turds that your dipshit brother ruined your efforts. Sounds like your have quite a family up in NY.
Trying to decide in my mind if I'd rather have sober drugfree family members who are bigoted racist dimwitted mother fuckers, or a pack of drunks and druggies.
Jeeez. What a choice.
I almost think I'd rather associate myself with a drug pusher. Unless that pusher is an aforementioned bigoted racist dimwitted mother fucker.
It confounds me that people are so full of hate still.
How did I get into this trainwreck of thought?

On thing political: Those new anti-drug ads? It is to laugh. But I know they're serious. And the worst thing is a lot of high school kids are going to narc on a bud for having a joint 'cause they think s/he's an "Enemy of the State."
I think people here know who the real traitors here. Further, deponent sayeth not.

Just like in 3rd grade/to be sure no one feels left out.
Wishing the 2 dizzy bitches wd pool the money they're going to spend on shitty candy & b.s. cards/go out & buy a bottle of 12-yr-old scotch/leave it at the receptionist's desk/& invite everyone to have a Valentine's Day shot at their leisure.
Becuz when people who mean nothing to you insist on giving you gifts/they shd be required to give you something *you* actually want.
Hoping Sem & Sorabji both get a surprise Valentine from some foxy secret admirer. :)

*sigh*
i think im clinically depressed though i admit to not knowing exactly what that entails.
Something occured last night that made me quite sad. I had horrible dreams, again, though i recall no details. Just sensations of terrible terrible sadness.
I awoke in a fetal position, my head buried in my wife's chest late for work.
I've wanted nothing more than to just cry. For no obvious and substantial reason.
Im trying to put on my best face possible, for my girl...its her birthday, no need to bring her down.
I just want to go hide in MY bathroom with my meow meows who seem to love hanging out with me in the bathroom.
I was enjoying a moment in the bathroom here at work but the supreme boss came in to take an executive crap. I had to leave.
