Security of a transaction

I think it is interesting that i can make a purchase and then use the restroom in a restaurant - but i wasn’t allowed to before i made the purchase. Like going to starbucks and buying a coffee so i can use the bathroom. the 3 dollars means i could use drugs, kill children or [...]

bam. it is done.

Ok Ok. so I have been reading Anna Karenina. It is amazing. seriously - possibly one of the better books I have ever read. I am fascinated with how thorough Tolstoy covers the story. and how the story seemingly covers everything. it is soo good. I love the feeling of want that is associated with re…

hahahahaha. once again.. i rule

so a week or so ago I went to this party for the chicago thong organization, it was really funny and strange - but my friend chris and I participated in the activities and wore thongs and capes(which was the costume of choice). well later that night we were at a club and one of our friends snapped this really great

I have a theory. it is this: so bush declared terror level orange and now their are security dogs on the blue line at all times. I think the two are related.. so it isn’t a very …

Thoughts about the past/future and distance

I thought os a addition to this weblog awhile ago.. but it has left me. I am writing it anyway.. without a clue as to where it will lead me. I think it may be about my rockstar friend jamie - or maybe about existing in this weird world of fashion - without an idea of fashion.. I really don’t know. I have been reading a bunch of phillip k dick books. they are all very nice andthey really mes…

Just the normal stuff
