anyone want to have lunch?

pictures

Alright, I've promised pictures of my tattoo, and I might as well put up me in my halloween costume as well. However, I've used up the bandwidth as of about noon transferring them onto the site. They should be viewable this afternoon.

me

So, recently I have been renewing my acquaintance with myself. I have been exploring different facets of who I have been and what there is about me that is persistent. The trick of this, from an academic standpoint, is that identity can only be expressed in fragments. There is no trick of language that can express my totality. I have recently summed it up in metaphors of classical elements, geographical positioning and Taoist philosophy. But none of these are me. I cannot sum myself up, nor can I sum up anyone else.
Why do I say this? Why do I express this? Because the statements I feel the desire to make are incomplete. While part of me wants to post song lyrics, to post poetry, to post art, to post anything, I can't. Because nothing really means what I want to mean. As in touch with myself as I have become, it is such a Real feeling that I cannot share it. I cannot tell you who I am. But, you can meet me.

sometimes the horoscope says it all

Don't even think about going anywhere you really don't want to be. You'll be hard-pressed to pretend you're feeling anything that you're not -- and as far as acting like you're pleased when you're not? Forget about it. If you don't receive any offers you really want to accept, don't force yourself. Stay in, enjoy the pleasure of your own company, and make the world go away.
