I'm not generally a fan of the art but sometimes I do write poetry when I am feeling too lazy for prose:

I once gave a man a may day Valentine
which read
"We are stronger than every thing we were taught to fear."
The words were not mine
but became so
when he tattooed the whole thing,
in my hand writing
on his arm.

I was asked an excellent question today. This is how I failed to answer it:
"Philosophically I have the heart of a self-loathing guilt ridden western skeptic in the vein of pre-paranoia/pre-fascist Nietzsche with a strong belief that if all ideas about gods and men and worlds and women are equally ridiculous, we should at least choose to act upon the ones that inspire us the most passionately. "

This is a bit to romantic a sentiment in truth, but it is a good thing to tell ourselves when it is clear that we need to be telling ourselves something.

really good?
Lets go with really enjoy:
Dessert warfare (if only it were the only kind). Electrical wiring. Story time. Building pillow forts. Drawing feet. Meeting incredible people. Speaking my mind and valuing the minds of others. DIY shit. DIT shit. Letting life and chance dictate my music, fashion, books and decorative sensibilities. Walking great distances. Wilderness survival. Putting my heart in the right place at the wrong time. Consuming and regurgitating artistic endeavors. FUN! Handling a crisis. Working and playing with words.

Am I wearing a shirt?
Yes?
My sweet dance moves and the fact that I don't believe in the city of boston.
No?
I'm sorry.

Best book:
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. Although Les Miserables rocked me like a hurricane. Also, Midnight's Children changed my life. When it comes to books, I'm pretty "into" the classics. I know things about middle earth that can only lead to embarrassment.

My favorite movie is the goonies. Because down here is our time. But I can get into almost any movie that doesn't make me feel like it is glorifying sexism, racism or violence against oppressed peoples. I cry a lot while watching movies about parents/adults making sacrifices for children. I laugh a lot at boner jokes on the TV, but feel bad afterwards.

My favorite music is anything with hurt dirt or soul. I can be snobby about the music that I love, but I can enjoy listening to anything as long as somebody present really cares about it.
Best song: Rebel girl as an all time life philosophy. But I can't stop listening to Beethoven's 5th and think "How the fuck did this happen?"

I like food very much.
I drool over Tamales.
Veggies are the wedge I jamb! But I will go where eagles dare, and will accept all cooking challenges with reckless abandon.

There is only one way to find out. And I did.

If there is a better way to interact with this world and everything in it than I typically do. Also I think a lot about how to prevent sexual and domestic violence in the world around me and changing the relationship that men, myself included, have with love and power and violence. I also think a lot about math and statistical analysis, colors, and rock and roll.

Definitely NOT trying to take over the world.

I am brutally midwest and out-of-place in California. I am pretty much a tourist in my everyday life. It is embarrassing, but it keeps me from getting complacent and ready for anything.

you can tell me a funny joke. Mine are all terrible.
