thanks for your thoughts and concerns OE-as you can see insomnia has struck again and i must get up early-had no idea i would be back tonight-but i am going to bed now-when i come back hopefully soon tomorrow maybe late- i will explain more about my health-no worries right now-but sometimes i have meltdowns involved with some of the meds i have to take and some of my physical conditions-the last one scared me more than it probably should have but i have very high Co2(think right chem term in my blood)-but very ok right now-the thoughts of my possible early end in life are what is driving me to try to write my book-which really is only for me-but i want to see what others think-only a tiny bit of it is at my blog now. the incident with d was just as a word you used 'reflexive' i think and neither one of us meant it to get out of hand-it just happened and he hasn't hit me again-scared of his temper sometimes tho-hope u sleep good tonight OE and i will try to return tomorrow if i can( tonight should have said this morn-it must be what 515 am :D in Detroit? it is 315 here ps did not consider your quesitons rude at all!

Odd hours keep me.
Except, today Im gonna try and get to sleep before midnight. Well see..
I was supposed to buy a new pair of pants today (first in 5 yrs - almost all old have several holes and a few patchjobs) - but didnt get it done. Just watched a mate look for a winter jacket, and bought one tin mug, two spoons and zip ties :shock:

Lesson of the story:
You never know.

Thanks for the new images OE-I tend to agree with penguin-odd hours keep me-I am somewhat exhausted tonight night but feel healthy except for back-I am trying to decide to do more research or just kick back with a fiction book-sorry no image this time if i come back this eve/morning I will find something-hope these words find you all in good spirits (liquor wise or no) :D -i just simply can't hardly drink anymore-i miss having a relaxing cocktail or two -but my meds really interfere with the enjoyment of it.
ps i would love to see the surrealism exhibit!
third edit now-wrt penguins pant buying-i have lost so much weight in the last 2-3 months my clothes are starting to look a bit funny-not quite drowning in them but getting close-was 6'2 250 for awhile-now down to 195-almost to my thin old self again-but this weight loss wasnt planned and i dont think its quite normal-the small ones are always some of the tougher ones in my experience D is 5'9 and 170- and could flatten me if he wanted to-of course thats not saying much because i ain't Clint eastwood or Chuck Norris!

just my surroundings. the things i like the most. the spirit is probably the coolest of them.

i've got some other things i'm getting ready.

you ever find yourself up my way comrade Z and i'll take you to the DIA. i go there often, usually alone. it is different every time.

i shop at the salvation army. i like old clothes. everything else is stuff other people bought me. with the exception of tshirts. mostly bands. i buy them at concerts, yes?

picture of a good friend of mine. associated text to be edited in later.

note, i didn't draw her standing in such a strange position.
i drew her laying in a bean bag chair.

Relevant text from the journal entry.
I have removed some sections that weren't part of it, including what appeared to have been a grocery list.

"I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and restrained myself. Now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once."
Isaiah 42:14

trip with [redacted] to [redacted] on [redacted]


Crackled.

Here be Dragons:

(Survive/evade/resist/escape)

1. Pay heed to principle provocations.
2. Establishing a presence.
3. Prioritize: repudiate, repatriate.
4. Avoid repetition of unmotivated efforts.
5. Retire.
6. Beware Trapdoors. (Secure the parameters)

A needle grin splits the Boggart's face, revealing countless rows of dirk-like chompers as he continues to chatter in a manner that while entrancingly melodious (timbre) is indeed, also occasionally somewhat nasal.

"I made it myself, from leftover centaur parts"

The slimy Pokol activates the device, neatly maneuvering the controls which appear to have once been a fairly impressive set of antlers. An eerie glow begins to emanate from the creature's sordid contraption. Slowly it coalesces into a crystalline orb hovering just out of reach. There is an image therein. The vision is filled with static, but familiar outlines can be discerned. There is a mountain, or perhaps merely a sizable pile of rather largish hills stacked atop one another. Carved into the face of the rock is a woman (like unto the Daughter of the Most High). Epic like cities. It reminds one of Mt. Rushmore, only, y'know, like, a lot fucking bigger. An endless Ocean, most crimson, laps at her heels. (Never stops gnawing) Year after Year she erodes in the rain.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a bronze plate with an inscription:

"The Christians Spent what Jesus Saved.
Never Hearts nor Minds did they Obey.

(it continues)

Thou art what thou eats: yea though grown light grass lain,
lo! Leaning grain-fed lass loosens, lifts loss featherweight
Cleanses colons:
[and semicolons too;]
Complete competition crowds concerns. Calms brains.
No matter, relentless revisions cannot reclaim.
(Couplings crushed converge. Concrete corkscrewn cold contagions closing complicates)
Ravenous.
Cunningly-Crafted-Cauldron's constant cremations consummate.
All Roads bum rushed, rapid hobknobbing returns its face.
Knocks nightwatched though vineyards hounding hot scent of lace.
Portals told locked, the Phones never Rang. unfortunate unscheduled departures are made.
Roused Ruins reeking, (riddled/red lettered) recently rough ridden upbraids:
"You were supposed to ask permission Before you came"

Rhetorical recompense not withstanding, your scheme's not in vain
(Conceptions can fetter compliance with the Law of these days)
By compulsions convulsions so crept and kept like a slave.
Toward balanced steadfastness and for release I have prayed.
The world implemented to torture discounts. A seller's market for pain.
From far, Frettings are fashioned then pounded to place.
Well rounded wordless wishes wasted white washing shame.
A Maze it may resemble, tho never mistaken for Grace!

Suddenly circumspect, seeking shelter she strays
bad but branded and stone thrown remains she unfazed.
Shivering, serpent swept, seeking slumber she sways
Blameless, unrepentant, seeking solace she stays.
Been Saddled and Sized up, her captives by gaze.
Done dirt work with Devils never changing her ways.
Her Skirts all blood crusted of Kings and of Knaves.
Leaves lines of chastisement wherever she lays.
Through flesh fraught with shackles smithy spirit still Reigns.
though knee bent in mire, with Gold we'll have paved
Struggling always uphill till last we've been slain.
Sounds of footsteps. Fallen Feathers. Angels dancing on our graves.

I will probably have to edit out typos again. there you have it.

Love is Law,

That is so freakin cool OE! sorry I tried to sound a bit younger than actual age-words are truly failing me tonight and I don't have a good pic-I just wanted to stop by and see if anything was new here and how things were going-i really love seeing the stuff out of your journals and appreciate you sharing them. there is a very very brief fictional(mostly true) example of my scribblings at MFM-i tried to disable moderation as best i could but i dont know if someone will have to have a google password to comment-what is kind of hilarious is that my mum inadvertently sent my blog addy to someone close to the fam-but I know-absolutely despises me-in an overhearing of a conversation purely accidental i heard these words "that faggot is going to sink that whole family-you just watch-i have never seen anyone in my life-especially a guy-although a poor excuse for one-so over indulged and catered to-i am shocked (insert dads name here) ever tolerated such a sissy-if (insert Zs real name here) had been mine he would have been on the street a long time ago-when (z) takes his dirt nap -(first time i had ever heard this expression-kind of liked it)- its going to be very hard to act sad at the funeral-inside i will be thinking that was too long in coming-fuck off and rot in hell prince precious" hehe all about yours truly-i never told anyone so when mum told me (insert mortal enemy's name here) will reall enjoy your blog i kind of winced inside-thinking oh im sure he will hehe-
the words are not exact but very very close-as this is one of the more educated people we know he also said something to the effect of "not to fucking shocking that Sexton is one of his favorite poets-i just wish he would do what she did and off himself"
oh well these are my meanderings for the eve-i am feeling very tired right now but have so much work to do that i really dont have to-but enjoy doing-i might be back
peace and be well OE-i love your work and thoughts!-Z

Hello Z, how iz things?

(the person you are describing sounds horridly familiar)

I ran into the girl on the bean bag chair very recently, and was reminded of one of my recreational trips, so to speak. it was a very strange one. at about the time i got sucked into my notebook i'd been trying to warn her that she should get onto the bed because the water in the room was rising. She had reassured me that the bean bag chair could float. I suppose she probably hadn't come up yet.

there are always birds in my trips, though.

OE so glad I came back-I don't want to sound stupid-but is the prose yours? I liked it-funny you mentioned passport- I had mine renewed in 2006 when I was thinking of leaving the states for good-i just couldn't leave my family-was very serious about it-i had just a bit of money back then-I wonder if someday I will regret not leaving-but Im stuck in the belly of the beast now-really couldn't live without my fam anyway-I am doing good as I hope you are-I am so glad I can tell this will not be another night of insomnia-the bed is calling!-it may be a bit yet but if i can lay down by 3 or 4 am i can at least get up at a halfway decent hour-i have more ?s about your stuff-but feel too tired and stupid to ask now
very very interesting-thanks!-Z o here is the Obelisk hadrian built for antinous in Tivoli-hope i selected right image too tired to go back-judt wanted to have some sort of image-not very interesting but kinda pretty-hope to be back tomorrow.Image
had to come back one last time cant wait to hear a bit about the bean-bag girl and the 'trips' if you can tell! i think your 'magical writing/sigils are really intricate and fascinating-thanks for the massive amount of links you gave earlier in the thread about ambigrams/flarf poetry and a lot of others.
