hopeful

well. i slept. bout to hop into the clean machine and then, into the not-so-clean machine and go find something that isn’t sitting on my tookus. interesting typo in the previous sentence; ‘hope’ for ‘hop’. i had hoped someone would hop online today, but it seems not. and if they do tonight, i’ll not be here to enjoy it. bleh. on a more serious note, i’ve not been feeling well lately. something is wrong and i don’t know what it is and i can’t afford to go find out. that is… worrisome. here’s to hoping it’s not serious. hrm. i […]

good grief. you want to talk about ghosts from the past and things that leave a foul taste in the mouth? i discover tonight that the folks who pretty much drove a damn good possibility right into the ground are back in the saddle, apparently doing the same damn thing all over again…. this time, in the non-profit sector. rezilio.com, hosts of playzi.com, is trying to garner funding for what they’re calling ‘ePhilanthropy’.

bamboo garden

as if it didn’t matter at all, laughing at the kitchen counter, severing sinew from bone, making dinner, sacrifice of living things to the hunger. i never knew him such a callous cannibal until i watched as he cheerfully cut that piece of meat, all that was left of what once was a wild and tender thing. i closed my eyes, ducked my head. bit back the scream and waited for the image to pass. i wandered like that for some time; blind and stumbling and happy to be so if it meant i would not again see such gleeful […]
