Fresh Ideas

Apparently no one finds a 40 year old man cute. Which sucks, cause he was used to it when he was a child.

When you're looking for the next chord, don't just guess; stop interpret, and analyze it in your mind first.

3 moments I remember music carrying a special weight for me: 

• Billy Joel's 'She's Always A Woman To Me' in Ryan's w/ my family, age 10 or 11. 
• Doobie Brothers at Whitfield Avenue party with The Princess, 17. 
• Electric Chicago Blues in the BBQ restaurant w/ Lindsey, 18.

At all these junctures, music sounded really ethereal to me. 

If someone says draw a rectangle, you might draw a trapezoid or a square. If they wanted something more specific, they should have been more specific. This is an example of having received incomplete information. 

Good goals to have are being GOOD, NORMAL, and REAL. 

Perhaps the 'spirit' or the 'personality' of my neighbors that I sense when alone consists of a certain proportion (perhaps 25% of the whole 'spirit') of myself. 

9 absolutely insane, positively crazy thoughts I had while living for a time in Seminole, Oklahoma

• Seymour demo made an enormous break.
• Jurg murdered my father.
• Barach Obama was smoking pot in the White House.
• Marissa was riding her bike across the U.S. to see me, and her heart just burst.
• I had to pull out my dick in order to prove to the female cop that I was circumcised.
• Me and Julie Anne were going to get married and live alone on the plains of Oklahoma in my little house after the apocalypse.
• Everyone in the world was going to be mandated to play the harmonica.
• The tribal Indians in the area had plotted to kill me.
• The cops were going to execute me without trial because of the marijuana seeds that I had planted in my back yard.

Gettin' w women is compulsory. They will arrest you if you don't try.

PEACE IN HIS OWN HEART

I hope to die in my sleep of old age.

Looking for a laid back girl.

Sex in a relationship for me carries an importance of 2 or 3 out of 10.

The #1 requirement for our relationship to work is that we think well of each other.

3 times in my life I can specifically remember opening a somewhat large book to exactly the right page that I wanted to read from without even thinking about it at all or trying:

• I was 24. I was in Forsyth Park. I was carrying a bible. Talking to some black guy, I opened up the book, without a thought, on a whim completely, to the exact page I meant to read.
• Holding The Complete Works Of Plato and intending to read The Sophist the other night, I opened the book straight to The Sophist.
• Last night, I was reading Frijof Capra's Tao Of Physics, and clamped my booklight without a thought on the exact page with the illustration that he references in the introduction.
