Obama is only six clicks away (on Wikipedia) from Satan and Bob Marley. Who knows? McCain is four clicks away from Darth Vader.

Population Ninety-One

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 01:04:39 GMT

In Tensed, Idaho

the green sign low

to the earthy sod said

Population: 90

And the sinking sun

still struck the quiet town

lighting windows and their only street

at all odd angles

unmasking the empty place

as if everyone was gone

waiting for the seventy-seventh citizen

to give birth to the ninety-first baby

and the penciled pieces of paper

taped to every shop's window

said they were all gone to the waiting room,

waiting.

Since we're on the subject of hair, I have a beef to pick. Since when did hair on guys become gross? It's like Feminism couldn't bring themselves to do away with the cultural establishment of having girls shave their legs, so they decided to make it gross for guys to have hair. Whats worse, guys have completely bought into this. And what about chest hair? When did that become gross for guys? A friend of mine told me today that he "won" because he had less hair on his stomach (none, in fact) than I, and he hinted that girls would be more interested in him. He blatantly displayed the weakness of his own manhood on his chest, and decided that he would attract more girls? What? It's considered effeminate for me to shave my legs, and yet hair on my legs is reacted to with disgust. I couldn't respect myself if I shaved my chest, and yet the reactions are worse. A friend of mine told me a story about his father back in college, how a girl dumped his father because he had no chest hair. And yet now it's considered better to look like girls. Mr. Givler may proudly publicize the fact that he shaves his legs and has next to no hair on his stomach, but as the days get hotter and the clothing becomes less, I will proudly bear my foliage like an Esau in the promised land, and if you are one of the whiny hairless Jacobs, please--keep it to yourself and your mother.

...in other news, I'm going bald. I'm pretty sure that makes me awsum.

Cows Without Holes In Their Stomachs

A warm sabbath

Most beautiful day of the year

Moscow got out of their houses

I sat, and ate, with friends, with the zephyr, in the park, with Moscow

An awkward engagement party

On the way to the party we passed a girl standing in the street and crying

When we left, she was still there, but in somebody's arms, he was just standing there and holding her

Its turning into summer, so you're almost asleep before the beauty is too dark to feel

I tried to catch some frogs in the pond, but my footsteps put an impromptu rest in their orchestra

Frogs aren't beautiful to listen to, but if you imagine you are one, and you can almost feel the crescendo and the sudden silence that follows as I make a particularly crunchy step

Kids selling lemonade

Cows without holes in their stomachs

There are still green hills and fat sheep in Ireland

On a day like this I think that the only difference between heaven and earth will be us.

The most amazing exegesis you will ever see, my Lordship teacher showed it in class:

I accidentally created a dish which combined scrambled eggs with mash potatoes. It did wonderful things for the mash potatoes, but awful things for the eggs.

So, yeah. I don't really have much to say. Which isn't good because I still get a fair number of footprints. I've had some interesting thoughts and conversations lately, about such things as Pentecostals, liturgy (as related to Pentecostals), Calvin, Ecclesiastes, Friendship, Room & Board, Breakfast, Across The Universe, Donnie Darko, Lacrosse, Lunch, People I am going to miss or have been missing, Poetry, O'Conner, Wyclef Jean, the new Killer's album Sawdust, Communion, Supper, Praying to the Saints, and cool stuff. But nothing to write, so for now, just Slow Down.
