Mom – Want to wish you the happiest of happy birthdays today … or at least as happy as a day that coincides with the anniversary of a tragedy (and associated socio-political and pseudo-religious BS pervading the media) can be. I’ve been thinking about family lots lately, and I know that I am truly lucky [...] SUMMER HOLIDAY When the sun shouts and people abound One thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze And the iron age; iron the unstable metal; Steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the towered-up cities Will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. Roots will not [...] Most the of country is going to be remembering all those people who died in the World Trade Center, on United 93 in Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon, 7 years ago today. I’m choosing to think about something a little more joyous that happened 70 years ago. Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you! HEY ALLEN GINSBERG WHERE HAVE YOU GONE AND WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF MY DRUGS? A mouse went to see his mother. When his car broke down he bought a bike. When the bike wore out he bought skates. When the skates wore down he ran. He ran until his sneakers wore through. Then he [...] STREET DOGS – FINAL TRANSMISSION He had just turned nineteen yesterday Wanted to be a school teacher someday Came from a small and modest town Had never before traveled abroad He signed on the promise of a college fund Pop and Mom begged him to stay at home The last time they saw him [...] My mother sent me more mom-spam yesterday, this one being a purported re-write of the Preamble of the Constitution, accompanied by a series of articles.

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country’s [...] In Arid-Zona for the weekend visiting my mom and stepdad … since I won’t be able to visit for Christmas, this is an off weekend for the UTCX series, and there’s no snow to speak of in the canyons (and since I had a free ticket), I decided to fly down. So, we’re doing a [...] CZT’s mom passed away this evening … send good thoughts her way. I’m not the most religious person in the world, but I do consider myself to be a person of some faith and spirituality; and I firmly believe that just because someone close passes away, it doesn’t mean that they are no longer with [...] Today is my mom’s 69th birthday … which I guess is fabulous in some ways, and downright sucks in other ways; my mom’s birthday will forever have connotations of terrorism. But at least my mom is relatively healthy, unlike some of my friends’ parents; Train‘s mom had a rough time early this year, but seems [...] Got the following email from K. yesterday: Subject: Proof the universe is sentient It has a sense of irony. 2/13/07. Maybe we should have avoided the 13th? Let’s blame it on my mother not paying the deposit so we had to move it from 10/6 to 10/13. I’m thankful that it wasn’t 2/14/07. That would [...] |
