Cats

R.O.D. - I HATE CATS. FOREVER. AND EVER. AND EVER.

A foreword apology to those who may be offended.


People always say you have to win a cat's love. wtf? They also say you don't have to with a dog because dogs are stupid, or lazy, or automatically subservient due to eons of inbreeding. I don't know, fill in your own blank, but why would you want to win a cat's love?

(This is a bad analogy.)

Women love assholes. Not the body part (of course), but the typical condescending, "you've got to prove something to me," guy. The guy that you can CHANGE, because he's a CHALLENGE. Notice those things start with a "C," kind of like "cats." Why is this sort of delusion necessary?

So I guess the moral of the story is that Cats are like assholes. You only want their attention because they won't give it to you, and then when you finally get the Cat to admire you marginally, they shit all over your house, in your dryer (wtf!!!), everywhere in the bathroom except for the tub, the sink, or the toilet where it might be easy to clean, in your kitchen cabinets (how'd those fuckers get in there???), and the only decision you're left with is to take them on Maury Povich to figure out why they won't stop shitting on you, or claim the baby you know they're the father of.

(Note: I speak of "shit" metaphorically, of course, as well as the household areas.)


Stay away from all those "cool cats" and you'll live a very happy life.

R.O.D - The zipper, seriously, is one of the most amazing inventions ever. Think about it.

Revelations

This year, instead of New Year resolutions (which confess retrogression, but I'm perfect, come on), I will end each day with a revelation (in the hopes of ballooning my ego to a gargantuan, untameable, feral beast; like a man... bear... pig... hybrid).

I was inspired to write something down after reading old blog entries. I noticed my constant revelation was that I am fudged up. I am never quite where I want to be. I guess that's the journey? I don't know. I feel like I have grown up a lot this past year, but reflection absolves nothing and usually breeds arrogance.

Once it seemed like there might be an oasis somewhere down the road to hang out for a while, to stretch out on a hammock and wait out those prophesied good things that would march in their own time towards my palm alcove, but maybe that's what I've come away with the year in tow; there is no end in sight. There is no rest. One day, click, someone turns you off.

So just do what you want to with your life. External judgment is like quicksand. The more you struggle to please, the further you sink.

The glass is half empty and half full.


Revelation of the Day:

Peanut Butter will save my life one day.

boots and spurs be clickin'

The Beat

Inhalation and exaltation;
to beat; to breathe; to usurp a mighty thing--
vivre la permanence.

Time began as a morsel, in hands, in lieu of corporeality,
nowhere at all. Comprehension then, must (must it?)
begin somewhere-- mon frère.

The Dickinson Dash, the Melville Mash, the Whitman Waltz,
and the Rimbaud Rumba.

Oh dear... the shirt fits but the collar's too small.
You might have to stick your neck out some, partner.

propagating propaganda

This is an exercise in speaking truth.

"P&P"

The blogspot is an exercise. Or chore?
To write is to store-- clean, superfluous, nitrogens and oxygens, in hand;
Here you go. This is new. This is for you. This is for ubiquity;
Efficiency, anarchy, and quiet;
progress is measured in punk rock merit.
Save room for the delusional, there are few, as you well know,
worthy enough to follow.

And we--
we are owned by no one.

Our dog-tags read, "Sincerity," "Revolution," "Visionary,"
"Samaritan," and "... come again?"
Our songs are brittle; they have no legs, no respect for Leadbelly and the gang.
They dine on blubber of white whale and salt water tales.
Grow some roots why doncha, then have them dyed or highlighted,
deep fried, inject cheddar, served up with po-taters.
Old skool is what's kewl 'til something older
comes along, fewl. yewza one of dem Gol' diggaz.


I am finally sleepy now.
