rough day today started bad & has gone only slightly uphill since. i hate days like this. i�m glad it�s friday. perhaps the weekend will put me in a better mood.
don�t want to do much lately. feeling very off my pace. like the gears of my mind aren�t lining up right. making a lot of noise but not getting anywhere. feeling very un-me lately (if that makes any sense) it�s like i�m kind of me, but part of who i am is sleeping in. the downer is that it�s the part that does cool stuff like writing & making art & being social & not acting like a putz. i need something to get me going again. something to jump-start that part. my wife is doing all this cool stuff, writing a book, writing music, staging shows, playing out, tracking down old friends. i feel like i�m stuck on the flip side of the coin. feeling like i�m being left behind. its like i made space for her to do wonderful things but forgot to also make space for myself. now, when i do get space, i don�t know what to do with it. i�m wondering if i need a sea change. maybe i just need some uninterrupted sleep. tonight, i�ll settle for a night out. see you at the coffeehouse. ------------------ ----------------------- Today�s Stats Coffee Count: 4 mugs Cigarettes: 12 Candy: 2 Lifesavers & 3 lemon Smints Now Playing: some American Indian net radio station --------------------------- ---------------------------- �One of the surest of tests is the way in which a poet borrows.Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest.� --T.S. Eliot
