SO...OK.......so, I live with Nara now, and I work at a video game store. I have a reputation there for being the only person in the company to not play video games (and being the only one who reads). Nara gets the same crap, but she at least knows old school really well. I still slip up and call Link, Zelda. I love being home right now. Living in a half built house in OB that isn't big enough for the people in it makes feeling at ease and relaxed at home very difficult. I still long to trapse around the world with no resposibilies, but I love having a home to come back to. Gamestop (the videogame store) is very very lame, but they hired me when no one else would, and on top of that they made me an assistant mamager. I don't think I'll ever be totally happy working for a cooperation, and deffinatly never in retail sales. So I need to find the inner-strenght to go back to school in the spring. The good thing about working with the public again is that I get lots of material to write about. 90% of the people in this world are total freaks! which is awsome for me. I have been studying and buying underground comics (60's- 80's). This is it, the era I belong to. I have never felt this kind of deep seated understanding with a group of artists. All of which went on to begin the lowbrow art movement. I still have very close friends who question the idea of combining basic illistration skills, that are mostly used for childrens books, with sex drugs and a little ultra-violence. But this is what makes me laugh, and what makes me pleased with my art. so I have to say a polite "fuck you" to those who oppose it. Speaking of lowbrow art, not all those who make strange art in our generation are lowbrow artists. Most of those knuckleheads are just making modern art. Please remember that, thank you. 40 hours a week is way to much. I have no time to do any real adventures anymore. we should go to LA tonight.. what do you think?

4:07 pm - burnt for that extra crispy flavor
|
So, Andrea's visit. I'll talk about that even though it's not what is on my mind. But I need to get my mind very distracted so I will write. What started as "oh Noah, I love you so much and I'm coming out to visit you" quickly changed. As five days with her became three, then two, I realized I was being blown off. When it finally came down to it I was only going to get to hang out with her for one day until ten p.m.. Then on the actual day she told me that she was taking off at 6...........to clean her moms bathroom. Nara said, very simply, a while ago "you have a problem with letting people take advantage of you." that is very, very true. The day itself was fun. Kind of eerie because the stuff she really wanted to do was stuff I missed doing, and was intentionally not doing. We went to breakfast at ranchos in O.B., then onto bara's thift store, and then we took pictures of the beach, and went to cows LP's and looked up music. I should have kissed her when we hugged goodbye, but because of this month I'm pretty gun shy.

the mysterious AZ trip part 3
At the pizza place and at the Pink Pepper I got a strange three pronged salad fork instead of the normal ones everyone else got (with the normal four). So I stole the one from the pink pepper. I figured it was a sign, so I feel no guilt. Chars GP's gave us a key so we could come home as late as we wanted. and we headed out to go see mike terminal perform at a art gallery in the "bad part of town" according to her grandma. It wasn't much worse than any place me and char had gone before. The show was fun. The art on the walls was nice. I got to meet Mikes mom, she seemed cool. I got to meet mikes best friend named Brandi with an I. This girl is supposed to be julies arch nemisis so it was sureal to meet her face to face. There was an afterparty at mikes house. Lots of people sitting in a circle drinking Smirnoff Ice. All the girls except charmaine left early. Mikes old high school friends talking guy stuff, charmaine tackled me at one point for hitting her in the face with a ball that we were throwing around. A wrestling match between mike and this big guy named james broke out. After they established that they were both way out of shape. I was asked to join in. I didn't want to, but I could see people were curious about what I could do. I leaned over to char and asked "do you want me to" she kinda half nodded so I said I'd wrestle for a moment. This living room was way to small to do anything real. But I kinda brought the guy down and held him there until I was sure he was just going to play fish there. We left at like 2 am and drove back to chars grandparents. they had two beds set up real nice for us. I wanted to snuggle up with char, but I didn't want it to be confused as a come on, so I chickened out. In the mourning we showered and said out goodbyes and headed home. That night we actualy stopped at the Golden Acorn casino. We agreed to play only 5 dollars worth of nickle slots. But for some reason I couldn't stop winning. I actually left 6 dollars up! which is alot in nickles. We stopped at chars house and grabbed her laundry then went to my house and picked right up where we left off on friday night.

The Mysterious AZ trip... part 2!!!!
Needless to say emily's floor was the most comfortable floor ever. I woke up around 11am and couldn't fall back asleep. She had a giant book of american pin-up art. So I layed there on the floor reading that for hours. Emily came out around 1 and we had a half assed whisper conversation. Charmaine woke up soon after that because the dog (isabelle?) was nuzzling at all of her orafaces. Charla Emily and I went to a cool natural food co-op for lunch. They had the best vegan pizza (second only to big top in North park). The nachos left alot to be desired though. We had vegan ice cream for desert but it made me gag. The Co-op oddly enough was right across the street from the record store where charmaine got arrested as a kid. I thought it was a neat kind of ironic foreshadowing, but that was just me. Emily had to pack, and me and char had to get to her grandparents so we seperated from emily after lunch. I'm convinced that at this point the temperature dropped twenty degrees. But in reality it was still only like 45-50 outside. Charmaines grandparents house is fun. Alot like my grandparents on my moms side. I could sit there for hours just daydreaming about a pint sized charmaine running around that house. Helping that delusion is her 5 yr old cousin, zachary, was running around the whole time, being a typical 5yr old that is staying with grandparents. A fun thing to watch is how charmaine gets people to go to her restraunts. It's incredibly subtle so you have to pay attention. People treat veganism like it's a religion, like how you'ld be afraid to take a Jewish or musslim person to a pork factory. It's really more like being allergic to mushrooms, you won't go to hell for it, but your going to have unpleasentness. We got her grandparents to a place called the pink pepper. Both me and her grandfather were looking for a place with a pink sign, and we both were disapointed when there wasn't. The food was alright, nothing to spectacular. The Tofu dish I got tasted alot like cafe india. Combine that with the pizza for lunch and I ate WAY to much.

The mysterious AZ trip.
Me and charmaine were in my room on friday night at 9pm playing, when her grandparents called to ask if she still wanted to come down to AZ for the weekend. It had been some time sence she'd heard from them, so she hadn't been planning on going still. Now suddenly, we were leaving for Mesa, Arizona and had to be ready to go in about five seconds. Luckily Char and I have traveled together an uncountable amount of times, and have faced the greatest horrors of the road (mental and physical) and come out the other side smiling. That makes packing very easy, because you know what to expect from your partner. And as a bonus my parents (without any prompting) gave me 80 dollars on my way out the door. So we were set. Charmaine drove the first half out to the hot spring. I call that the first half not on distance, but tougness of the driving, because that area is a bitch. Our body temps muct have been about the same, because we both stayed in the same amount of time, and both moved to the little pool at the same second (that was because the guy who was in there just got out to go read). We usually stay in way to long and get out shivering, but we did it just right this time so I felt perfect (maybe a little dirty from the water). It was my turn to drive. I might hate driving on principle, but driving on a road trip, especially with charmaine, is one of the great joys of life to me. I babble endlessly, asking innane questions, and charmaine answers back in a way that only she can. Thats what first attracted me to her, that she doesn't just laugh off an odd question, she'll listen then answer you back with passion and honesty. I started getting blinky and sleepy in pheonix (or feenicks if your from the east) around 5am. But we were just moments from our destination so I sucked it up and finished the drive, I took pride in finishing. Char was in her super sleepy mode at that point so she just started barking directions from her seat "LEFT" "RIGHT" ect. you can't take it personaly. We got to emily's at like 6am. She is the queen for letting us crash there. The absoulute queen. And double that because she was getting to leave for Utah with her sister the next day. Me and Char used the bathroom and then just crashed like dead bodies....

1:05 pm - rant #5034
|
Karma is quite obviously trying to tell me something. A broken finger, a sprained wrist, a black eye, a destroyed car, and total faliure at everything. I have to assume this lesson has to do with wanting. To be free is to be without want. And at this moment I am wanting alot. I'm wanting a ------ I can ---- to ------ who wants to ---- me, I want day-dreaming to be repected as much as fucking by the people I know, I want to have gifts for everyone (and for that gift to bring them joy), and I have none of these.
current mood: disappointed

3:49 pm - Screaming for a sympathetic dagger
|
In my head lives a child, a sexual deviant, a drug addict, and an artist drawing their mad ramblings. All are silent today, swallowed up by a sort of melencoly sorrow. I'll call this being ------.
1. SPAM, stands for shoulder pork and ham. 2. I don't call enough people "Rubes". 3. Sex isn't sex, it's passion, and you can have passion without sex. 4. There is a new lowbrow gallery opening in LA. 5. Trabajar means "to work" 6. I'm more curious about having sex with a midget than seeing a midget having sex. 7. More men than women think I am an attractive person. 8. Only one girl has ever slapped me at her full strength, but I garantee she won't be the last. 9. Syphillus has killed alot of slutty people 10. I'm really good at offending people, I consider it a gift.
current mood: lonely

12:19 am - Play this game with me
|
Dearest Olivia, This first week is nearly over. Life away from you seems bleak. In the wet humid darkness the thought of your soft caress warms my weary bones. The already long days working on this boat drag on endlessly, growing ever longer the more I dream of my days with you. The only happiness I know, is knowing I will see you again soon. The vast atlantic ocean has been kind. No storms, not even any waves, the rest of the crew says they have never seen a calmer sea. A smile is on my face because this could take a whole week off of my jorney, and one week closer to your kind embracing eyes. In another week we will reach the african coast. I told my bunkmate, Frank , that I'm going to buy you a wild animal. I couldn't imagine the look on your mothers face if I returned with some bizzare feathered creature to live in your house. The other crew come from all over the world. Last night a large poker game had broken out in the Galley. I didn't have more than 5 dollars so I just watched from the corner of the room in a crowd of other deck hands. In the poker game everyone threw in thier money from whatever country they came from. It was like a rainbow of little rectangle paper. I saw red money and blue money, even pink money! I'm going to trade all of my american money for some red money and see if the grocery store back home will take it. If they do I'll buy us a bottle of red wine with our red money. We'll take your daddys red truck out to the country and eat red apples. I'll kiss your red lips, and tell you how much I love you.
Forever yours, James Franko 1945

A society of greed has no future. Capitalism is flawed in that honest hard working people can lose everything to the flawed masses who worship money and greed. So should greed be bled out of our society in order for it to survive? Many would say that is impossible. Sense the very invention of money and western society greed has been it's master. So does that mean that the natural way of man is greed, a.k.a. selfishness and materialism? Or is that only in the west, sense buddhism in east has taught for eons that materialism and uncontrollable want is the greatest sin. Yet in the east, japan for example, western pop culture and ciche is being taken to ridiculous limits. Isn't that in conflict with buddhism? Does that suggest that materialism is something we cannot control, on the same level as lust? What is the current state of greed in the US? well, it's getting to the point of classic Roman decadence and arrogance. Our culture is holding up celebrities such as Paris Hilton and the like, who are famous for nothing more than being wealthy, is that any better than a peasant class looking in awe at the nobility? New TV shows, the sunday sermon of our generation, are things like "the simple life" "it's good to be..." "the fabulous life" and the worst (on MTV of course)"Rich Girls" a show about the heir to tommy hilfigers fortune going around spending other peoples money and saying similar things to the things that got Marie Antoinette's head cut off. For example "I think clothes should be free, like water, because it's a necessity". Should we really be holding people who don't realize we DO pay for water in such high regard, getting the rich richer? Could we be destined for the same ends as the romans, overthrown while we are counting our money at the hands of religious fanatics?

12:49 am - greed is still bad, no excuse
|
Did you know a old white man owns the moon? seriously. When we first started landing on the moon in the late 60's the world governments decided that it would be immoral and unjust to say just one country owned the moon. So it was declared by the UN that no NATION could own the moon. And this white man used that terminology as a loophole and said that a private owner was still OK to own the moon. So he filed a deed of ownership for the moon and all the planets and thier moons. Many respected people (mostly in the entertainment industry) have sent money to him for plots of moon-land. And he has begun suing counterfeit "moon owners". He is also setting up a galactic government to corporatize the governing of outerspace. We are not even officially off of this rock yet, and the greedy american pigs already have thier hands in the aliens wallets.
His kids get everything that he hasn't sold in the event of his death. So if the corporation fails we still have a "space monorchy" to look forward to.
