This is amazing:

divisions between different groups of pirate reenactors. Those who claim they are inspired by 'authentic history' vs the 'fake' pirates inspired by Johnny Depp.

"there's no rain on the sad parade."

I bought all these records yesterday. I'm broke!

I used to feel like this once

From an interview with Marnie Stern:

"That was when the biggest creative surge of my life happened, and nothing like that has ever happened since. My mind was open. Open to anything and everything, and that was the best two years of my whole life... I felt inspiration everywhere. Everywhere! Everything I heard, I was like, 'That was for me.' 'That was for me.' I was so positive and forward and yes, yes, yes. You know, and it was a great, great time... It was really terrific. That's when I got the idea that I could do anything. There were no boundaries or rules or limitations..."

the world outside the factory is just like a factory.

next time we date i want you to point out every flaw.

i contain a factory for producing my own prison.

i've decided i need to write a book called "Please have sex with me, I am dying." because if i saw this title on the stand at a bookstore I would totally pick it up. also: pathetic, funny, and true!

Stories to write in the near-future:

-"A Proposal on Taking Your Newsmagazine to 'The Next Level'" - About my absurb time working at Afrique. Remember this?

-A man's entire life taking place in one day, vaguely inspired by the new Byrne/Eno album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

-"Hello, My Name is Death" - a collab w/ holland about a particularly creepy homeless man, the physical embodiment of death.

-"Dumpster Babies" - under a law intended to prevent dumpster babies, parents start dropping off all kinds of kids at the hospitals and police stations. 6-year-olds who talk back, 17-year-olds with emotional problems, 3-year-olds who won't stop pooping. Totally inspired by this: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/03/us/03omaha.html?pagewanted=1&em
