Yes, he’s still around. Learn how white people are a disadvantaged minority, then buy Duke’s Mein Kampf ripoff, “My Awakening”. Makes you wish the Klan had never discovered the internet. www.duke.org (I’m not going to link to him, but there’s his site, if you want to go there yourself. bah)

Teach me to look for duke university , specifically for images of the blue devil, to spark a story.

Here is what I was looking for l if y’all care.

Other random thoughts… Anyone seen/heard from Darktrain?

Happy Birfday, Seer!

I really enjoy the company of a sweet girl.

It’s colored my writing, my work, the way I see the world. It’s all good. Stupid people don’t bug me as much, nice things seem nicer.

I’m in awe of this girl. She’s smart. She’s beautiful. She’s witty. She’s sexy. She has a sweet personality and a pile of admirable skills.

She makes me feel wonderful every time I talk to her. I trust her implicitly. She flatters me.

I want to give her a trampoline, or a Wacom graphic tablet…. some orange blossom honey. Something she’d like.

My rule of thumb is… a feather is erotic. the whole chicken is kinky.

from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
(upon seeing Juliet for the first time)

O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shines a snow-white swan trooping with crows,
As this fair lady o’er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!
I never saw true beauty till this night.

(and to Juliet)

If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this,
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth the rough touch with a gentle kiss.

Love’s Philosophy
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever,
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another’s being mingle;–
Why not I with thine?

See! the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower would be forgiven,
If it disdained it’s brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;–
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

love
family
money
religion
sex
mystery

any other good story elements that grab folks at the lowest points?

oh…very funny!

From the early section of the love poems of the Kokinoshu.

In the autumn fields
mingled with the pampas grass
flowers are blooming
should my love too, spring forth
or shall we never meet?

There’s a knock at the door that I adore, There’s a face at the window, a smiling yellow face, There’s a knock on the door, And if I were at home they’d find me there, There’s a note on the door that I would see, And the furnitures barely been moved from where it was, There’s a note on the door, And the note would say, when it rains it snows, When it rains I wonder why, And now I know that when it rains it snows, There’s a nut with a shotgun bang bang bang, There’s a doctor, a waitress, a fireman with a hat, There’s a nut with a gun, There’s enough so they’ll never know which one
