bammo stork daddy I could never be a family law lawyer. just seeing two people going through a divorce is a bit traumatizing. watching them walk around with notebooks so they can jot down things to put in the affadavits - "she looked at me askew...asque? How do you spell askew? She wouldn't tell me how to spell askew...I'm writing that down." In grade school there was an uncircumcised boy in our class. when we used to go to the bathroom we'd sing the transformers theme song to him. "transformers, more than meets the eye." Hope it didn't give him a complex. Speaking of transformers, why did Bumblebee always get into all the trouble. Probably because he was less masculine than the other transformers. Sissy-boys cause troubles was the message i got. My friend told me this piece of furniature is from Indonesia. How did she know? Probably the made in Indonesia sticker I think. But she says its the shape. It must be shaped like Indonesia. Watching the history channel the other day they had footage of hitler that was shot in color, or colorized. I suppose it was supposed to make it more real, to expose the banality of evil and take the dictator out from behind his theatre set black and white podium. But to me the coloring made it look like a 1950s american vacation film. I expected to see Hitler in bermuda shorts water skiing. Apparently some think Hitler had Parkinson's. So now I'm worried about Michael J. Fox becoming a fascist. When I was a little catholic boy, Hitler, like Satan, were words I'd feel sinful just writing, or looking at. But such inverse reverence charges them with an obscuring irreducability. Really, such people and concepts when given careful look eventually just take their rightful place on the spectrum of human history towards the sadness and horror end. The word evil becomes unecessary. Either way the horror remains. If something is human, we can hope for better, work for better, strive to understand ourselves. If something is evil we can only pray and wear garlic about our necks. Although perhaps driving a stake through its heart remains the most viable option under either analysis. strangely on the opposite front, I sometimes do get caught up in ascribing to those with good lives a sort of untouchable and mystic purity. I don't want to think that Doestoevsky had a curable brain disorder or Mother Theresa had hallucinations. The other day someone said I made them happy. I don't know if that's supported by empirical evidence. What if the electric impulse that was me in your brain was stopped from releasing that dopamine by an invisible demon who then himself or herself released the dopamine. a general rule of thumb for me is that i'm against when people interfere with my ability to breathe. but when you take my breath away somehow i'm all for it. and blah and blah. end transmission? 070123 ... jane i never felt bad writing hitler so much as writing nazi, or actually just the swastika symbol was enough to move me because i tried to remember my jewish grandmother and how she was already in sunny southern california when the war broke out 070327 what's it to you? who go blather from
