the funny thing about love is that so many people going looking for it thinking that it is the holy grail of personal relationships only to find that love can be rather droll and boring, love can be vague, undefined and rather uninteresting. Passion isn’t vague and whatever you say about it, it isn’t uninteresting…

and I start to shake and shimmy and my lips go numb and I wake up looking and feeling blue and realize:
those things of magnificence; those moments when loathing and love are rolled into a point of singularity and distort reality; those times when everything becomes stringified and i talk three ways to sunday about my life and the times of dying; those are the good old days unfiltered
do you feel that train coming?
if you lay your ear to the ground, can you hear it as well?
the great thing about the present is that it is both omnipresent and doesn’t exist: there is only the past and the future. you can’t talk about the present, before the utterance leaves your lips, you are already talking about the past. now is now but now is the past.

I have been talking to ghosts lately. It is a disconcerting feeling to talk to something that isn’t there. And more disconerting? when they answer back. Off kittler, yes I have been: you try talking to the undead and see how you feel. It isn’t the easiest of feelings… to talk to that which you suspect is there but you don’t know is there. How are you to approach such a situation? How do you not go all Bruce Willis? How do you not go stupid and ignorant? How do you escape with your sanity? How do you not question the fundamental basis of such an illogical proposition: ghosts? Riddle me that and try not to pop yourself in the head.. go ahead… I think that you will find that a half pint of Jameson is the only cure for a haunting. Alcohol is the cure ( and yes the cause ) for a great many evils but not all of them… the problem as i see it with using alcohol to chase away ghost is that it is, fundamentally, a tool to call upon the past… to draw upon thing lost and forgotten… to bring back the spirit of your very own linda blair and otherwise torture you…
Go ahead, try and deny it.
Go ahead and try…
