THE BORDER FENCE
Can we all just chime in now and agree this fuking border fence in the Rio Grande Valley is an idea far beyond bad ?
Hmmm... let's think of all the great walls in history and how well they fared.
If we can be honest and just admit the real goal of the fence is to get somebody re-elected,,,, then perhaps this construction boondoggle could be construed as "successful."
Read this if you want to know what I'm ranting about :
A National Treasure That May End Up Without a Country

some thoughts on departures
it's been really crazy ever since i left texas. just driving, driving, more driving, beer, women, 100 foot trees, snow-capped mountains, cold breezes, incessant rain, rare shine, scalding coffee, parties where i know nobody, random sadness, random elation, relentless rejection, days without showers, holes developing in my jeans, angry rednecks, plaid clad lumberjacks, lost toothbrushes, elvis presley on the radio, a meatball stain on my t-shirt, thrift store hunting for cold weather gear, 6 days without changing socks, cheese and bread for every meal, fresh apples from roadside fruit stands, being scared of strange noises, marveling at snow covered mountains, sacred time with my girlfriend, long talks about being scared or alone or the future, marveling at the fresh air and clean sky and stars and everything just flying by- days, hours, towns, miles.

EXCERPT FROM TAO TE CHING, VERSE XX
The multitude are joyous,
As if partaking of the t'ai lao* offering
Or going up to a terrace** in spring.
I alone am inactive and reveal no signs,
Like a baby that has not yet learned to smile,
Listless as though with no home to go back to.
The multitude all have more than enough,
I alone seem to be in want.
My mind is that of a fool - how blank!
Vulgar people are clear.
I alone am drowsy.
Vulgar people are alert.
I alone am muddled.
Calm like the sea;
Like a high wind that never ceases.
The multitude all have a purpose.
I alone am foolish and uncouth.
I alone am different from others
And value being fed by the mother.
* T'ai lao is the most elaborate kind of feast.
** going on an outing

SHAKESPEARE, SONNET XXX
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight:

And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.

Verse 13, "Song of the Open Road"
"
Behold through you as bad as the rest.
Through the laughter, dancing, dining, supping, of people,
Inside of dresses and ornaments, inside of those wash'd and trimm'd faces
Behold a secret silent loathing and despair.
No husband, no wife, no friend, trusted to hear the confession,
Another self, a duplicate of every one, skulking and hiding it goes,
Formless and wordless through the streets of the cities, polite and bland in the parlors,
In the cars of railroads, in steamboats, in the public assembly,
Home to the houses of men and women, at the table, in the bedroom, everywhere,
Smartly attired, countenence smiling, form upright, death under the breast-bones, hell under the skull-bones,
Under the broadcloth and gloves, under the ribbons and artificial flowers,
Keeping fair with the customs, speaking not a syllable of itself,
Speaking of any thing else but never of itself.
"
By WW, 1881

THE ORIGIN OF MY NICKNAME.
OK, TIME TO FESS UP. I STOLE MY NICKNAME ("LOBO") FROM THIS FILM, "DON'T TELL HER IT'S ME" (STARRING STEVE GUTENBURG AND SHELLEY LONG). MY FRIEND MIKE HAD IT ON VHS A FEW YEARS BACK.
THIS ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE BEST MOVIE PREVIEW EVER MADE.

CONVENIENT DISPOSABLE COMMUNION SHOT GLASS WITH BUILT-IN WAFER AND WINE
RECEIVED THIS IN THE MAIL A FEW DAYS AGO.
"Communion is as simple as 1,2,3..."
The wafer is built into the top of the disposable communion shot glass! I received this as part of my order from Kingdom.com, where I've been ordering my tape manufacturing supplies.
"Never fill or wash communion cups again !"
