i want the name of the one person responsible for the white dude in the old man hat voice at work.

i want a good solid reason why he does it.

it's like he's purposely trying to suck the life out of everyone he talks to, and when he tells a joke his buddies all start trying to one - up him on the humor of it.

it's worse than mcdonalds, because instead of an extra large happy meal, he gets an extra large frowning face with an extra large mcfrump in it. and the phone?

well, lets just say that, all's fair in love and hate, and that if a phone could do that in a mall it would be a

The crows assert that a single crow could destroy the heavens. This is certainly true, but it proves nothing against the heavens, because heaven means precisely: the impossibility of crows. A collection of prophets is the most dangerous thing in the world. It takes the form of the highest goods. Goods are useful: if crows would simply prosper, then their existence would be valuable. A collection of books is also dangerous: it takes the form of a life, and as a life, it takes the form of what it becomes a life for, and of what it will become a life for. What is the most dangerous? I'd say it's a collection of snakes: a snake is useless if all it does is provide money or pick a

The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind, and another, his mother called him a horrible brat and sent him to his room. He couldn't get to sleep. He dreamt that he was flying, swooping and falling through the clear night air. Stars twinkled and the moon was dazzlingly white. The children at school whispered that a meteor had exploded over the forest nearby. He glimpsed charred and broken wood and twisted metal. Everything glowed red-orange, as if it were about to burst into flame. A crumpled metal jug and a gas can lay like charred matchsticks. And among all the

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, in a far away story, there lived a fair princess. Her mother gave birth to her and one of her brothers, a runt - boy who seemed to be destined for a life as a traveling merchant. All was happy until one day, the little boy was taken to the royal nursery and left to be fed by the cold, stone fireplace. The fire spit out embers and was fed upon by rats, which gnawed at the little boy's tiny legs. The queen, overcome with grief, had no choice but to beat her child

part two:

i look up at the window to see if the raven is there, and it is.

it's sitting on the ledge, wings outstretched, watching me with its serene eyes.

i stare back, and the raven tilts its head as if to say, "do you want me to sing for you?"

so of course i say, "of course i do."

and in between the quivering sounds i'm making, the raven sings.

it sings songs about my lover, songs about our love, and the raven sings about my husband, about our perfect marriage, and our perfect union.

there is a song about my husband being the man of my dreams and being the greatest husband in the world, and about him being the man of my heart, and how i'll never be able to live without him.

there is a song about the day that i'll never forget, a day that I don't want to forget, and how happy i was.

there is a song about the birth of our first child, and how much we love her, and the song continues on to being a song about a new baby, a girl baby that we'll call Evie, and how we'll make another little girl of our family, but this time we'll name her Bella. then it continues on, and continues to be a song about our little girl growing up, and what she'll look like, how smart and beautiful she'll be, and how she'll look like my husband, and how she'll look like me, and how she'll look like her father.
and it ends with the most beautiful song i've ever heard, and the most beautiful word i've ever heard.

i watch the raven, and the raven seems to watch me. it is a strange experience, being watched by an animal, and i have to admit, it's a little unnerving, but i know that if i keep staring at it, it'll be scared away, and so i keep staring.

this is when i'm waiting for the raven to leave.

i wait a little longer than i should have, but i have things to do, and i'm not scared.

i don't know why the raven is there, but i think it's someone just showing me, once again, how awesome my life is.

"You can tell a lot about a person just by seeing what they do to comfort themselves," my shrink, my therapist, said.

i don't remember if she said it or if i read it somewhere.

but it was a recent epiphany.

i used to do a lot of things.

i didn't like myself a lot.

but a lot of things were out of my control.

now, my biggest fear is to live for the day.

i take things one day at a time.

a good friend told me that i'm the one who has to do it.

it's about acting from the place of no fear.

if i do that, i'll be okay.

if i do that, i'll be okay.

my life is pretty fucking great.

i tell people that a lot.

i'm okay.

i'm in a good place.

i need to be more relaxed about things.

i should stop working so hard.

i've got the talent.

i just have to figure out what to do with it.

i think part of the problem with my life is the outside world, the crazy fucked up people, the fucked up things they say.

i'm different.

i can't get all sucked into their lives and feel the depression in their eyes.

i'm not a bad person.

i know that.

my life is easy, too easy.

i work a job that i love, i'm married to someone who loves me, and we live in a beautiful house.

i'm not lacking.

i'm a little afraid.

i'm not saying anything negative.

i'm not trying to sound pessimistic.

i'm just expressing my normal, every day, "what - the - hell - is - going - on - in - my - life - ness." it seems more permanent, more permanent, but i don't think it is.

my shrink says that this is all about choice.

if you want it to be permanent, then it's going to be permanent.

i don't think it's permanent.

i feel like i could leave tomorrow and be okay.

but then, what if i don't?

what if i just stay here forever?

i have a life, but i don't feel like i'm living it.

i wake up and go to work and come home and do the same thing.

it's repetitive, and that's boring.

i need to do more.

i think it's my job, my life, to decide what the hell i'm going to do.

so, i'm going to make some decisions.

i'm going to start writing again.

i'm going to start writing about all of this.

i'm going to start writing about other things, too.

all of it.

you should know this about me: i have two tattoos.

one is my side - the scorpio - and one is my back, the dancing man.

they are so intertwined, and the man is so much a part of my daily life, i wanted to tattoo the two of them together.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

These nostalgic holiday treats all have one thing in common: they're all "seasonally inappropriate."

Seriously, doesn't the phrase "less is more" ring familiar? Take away the ice cream, or the stuffing, or the pecan pie, and what's left is what we all crave: simplicity.

The mess-free, time-tested meals that nourish our bodies from within are more than festive: they're life-affirming, too.

This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here.
No family monument is here. There are no lambs here, no trumpets here, no military hymns here. It is a place of fear and gloom.

Here, sorrows are celebrated with jubilant, defiant, and self-congratulatory gestures of disrespect. This is a place where crowds of people step on the graves of the dead, hang toys on the tombs, throw candy, and do all sorts of things to desecrate the memories of those who died before them.

The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries. If the viewer stands in the center and thinks of a poem, the entire structure (which is eternal and never ages) will begin to mimic the particular pattern of words at which it is standing, much in the same way that a reader's subconscious mind may receive specific associations from the different books on a library shelf. The repetitive ordering of the paintings, which may never change, results in the equivalent of a silent clock: since the viewer is thinking of words at the time, all the spaces

Sunny day
Keeping the clouds away
On my way
To where the air is sweet

And the silence is deep

Where blue jays and cardinals sing and chicks hatch

You pull the car over

And what do you see?

Chickens

In the neighbor's back yard

Waving their bills

Tearing into a rooster

And a turkey

On the front porch

Crying

To tell us it's dinner time

In your car

That's where I see it.

I see things.

I think.

I worry.

I trust.

I go.

Sometimes I wish I was more willing to see the beauty and wonder in the small things.

For a long time I would go to bed early. Sometimes, the candle barely out, my eyes closed so quickly that I did not have time to tell myself: “I’m falling asleep.” And half an hour later when my head cleared, I would groan, and follow that groan to the kitchen, where I’d grab a pint of Tang and slither into bed. No matter how often I told myself that it was a foolish addiction, that Tang was a drowsy swill that was overpriced and artificial, that it would stain the furniture of my new house, and that no one in the whole world besides me drank it, I couldn’t help myself. Tang was in the cupboard, and I could not sleep without it.
