One Hundred and Seventy Four
I eat yellow apples, not red.
I like pirates, not vampires or zombies.
I love fat cats, not little dogs.
I listen to almost everything, except for country music.
I buy tickets to shows, not purses and clothes.

One Hundred and Sixty Eight
You know,
I was thinking,
what's up with the enigma of the 60's, 70's, and 80's?![]()
I mean, if you think about it, it was JUST LIKE school and friends and family these days. They made good and bad grades, they got together and broke up, they had fights with mom and dad.
What's the difference?
The more I realize how things at that time seemed "just like the present" to them, just as "the present" is to us, none of us realize how cool we are for living right now. Sure, in retrospect, the 60's and 70's and 80's were "like totally RAD" but the older I get the cooler the 90's seems. It's some kind of identity marker: the 90's generation. And the people just young enough to not be able to remember what all went down in the 90's don't really understand our pride, but give it some time and TRENDS (because all things are cyclical) and we'll be back in the prime.
I supposed the thing that makes the older decades living so much more interesting is that we have something to compare it to now: "the normal." But I think the normal could be appreciated and seen as something unique that later generations will rue over.

Check this out:
Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said:
THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?
A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex? Therefore they don't have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who's skin is all scaly and smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me... I want to be a whale.
P..S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my grandkids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a latte with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, "Good gosh, look how smart I am"!

One Hundred and Sixty Two
I'm not sure if you're done grading the second essays, but I haven't gotten mine back yet.
AND THEN:
Alison,
My computer crashed last week and I haven't had access to the internet until now. You won't need to revise your essay because I gave you an A. Sorry for the delayed response.

It is now 2:30 am and time to sleep, I suppose.

Michelangelo was a sociopath
Da Vinci was gay
Plath suicided
Van Gogh was a drunk
Burroughs was an addict

point:
WE ARTISTS ARE NOT [NORMAL.]
WE ARE THE [EXCEPTION.]
WE FIND OURSELVES [OUTSIDE] EVERYTHING
to better articulate the inside of everything.
speaking of articulation... OR LACK THEREOF...
[do not be confused]

One Hundred and Fifty Seven
The first potential snow day
The second to last school day
The thirteen degree weather without a coat
It's funny how I've been thinking, "Why haven't I felt cold yet? Where is the COLD cold?"

Peter, when you read my blog feel free to bring Super Sweney over and show him what he missed out on. It's all a sugar/water/glue mixture, wax, and hot glue and it's about 3 feet long.
It says, "I don't eat candy, I get all my sugar from vodka."

{destiny through free will}
I guess it's ok. Philosophically, it makes more imminent sense that I take what you've given me to those around me instead of back to you, right?
I think so. : )
Let's take a drive.
