Sidelong Tower / Glance Left and Up.

Below are a few items from my notebook in the last week. What I really need is for someone to read them and validate my experience. It's cold, it's wet, it's dark; Read on.

***

"Often"

I would probably be better off,
If I hadn't written you -

That weird poem.

***

"Birddog"

-As over-heard and out of context.-

"He was too big,
to have any energy."

***

Gadzuuks! Gadzzuuks!

***

"Each Day"

Legs in the shower;
Things to admire?
See how they change each day.

***

Idea for Valentines Day Card

"I like how you're attractive."

Importantly, the focus here must be on How, not That.
There is a distinct difference.

***

Thoughts on Iconic Drawing of Poop or Cow-Pie/Patty

It might be
That this is actually
Nachos
With far too much cheese.
It obscures the chips
Entirely.

Drawing Here, Absent.

***

From "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings"
Without context, more:

"That's why I ordered the Eagles
to bring you here."

***

Selections, Unnumbered Intentionally:

It seemed Reasonable.

That I am your new God.

But I don't believe in Ghosts.

***

"Weather"

I'd like to be lifting weights right now
or getting sunburn.

***

"The ear
this ahealth
yplac
etobe moralis
ticand patri
archal."

***

How to:
Be A Bad Boy.

To Women:
Your face is ugly and you are dumb.
You should be dependent on me,
finding confidence only
as part for whole.

Result:
Relationship.

At a Job Interview:
I can do it better than even you.
You can't ask me a question that could accurately define my innumerable skills.
Are you even qualified to hire me?

Result:
King of Money.

Memo from Balgor

Balgor the large and obtuse reminds you that without you this company would be fine without you. Balgor requests your hand in marriage. Balgor desires to stroke your hair. Balgor insists on meat. Where is Balgor's meat? Balgor must sleep. Balgor must not be awoken before 11:30. Balgor insists that you work harder.

Short Ones.

You know what's better than being unemployed?
Not having a romantic relationship.
Like, it's better in a hierarchical sense,
Of, things that suck.

That's a haiku, probably.
Rigid forms are for nerds without girlfriends.
I would know.

Express-lane Shit fuck.

The downside of being a white male,
Historically have been few.
Through aggression, we've systematically suppressed,
wrongly,
all different -basically.
But now as we push that aside,
or try we're left with another legacy;
Depression,
Angst,
Molly-coddled youthful discretion bleeds hip, discerning, men
With interests like coffee, and beer, and not expressing emotion.

Oh, yeah. The stoic. You're great.
The BBC was wrong,
And I think I'm paying for it by not having a job.

Irony.

White hot ball of frustration!
I could break down the need for employment,
pair it against social constructions that value monetary systems,
or a puritanical self-worth tied to work ethic rooted in Anglo-Christian hierarchies.
But, shit.
I just need to have sex.
Who needs irony.

Solutions

I wish I was a famed comic author or had a face tattoo.

My family said that maybe if I took more showers I'd have a girlfriend.
It's like, first of all, I took a shower today. Also, I think if it were just a showering problem that I would have solved it by accident already.

The thing about writing is that it doesn't have pictures. I don't think I like to read without pictures anymore.

Bleg!

Gift List

What I'd like for Christmas, and if I don't get it then I'll settle for on my birthday one month later.

I'd like an interview.
I'd like a job, now.
I'd like to be financially independent.
I'd like to be valued by society.
I'd like to go on a date.
I'd like to be in a relationship.

But what I'm actually asking for is,

Loose-leaf tea.
Some books.

But, see I don't really care about reading right now and tea is more fun when you have someone else to drink it with, or you're tired after work and you need caffeine.

So, it's rare that I have really asked for anything I want on one of these lists, but this year it seems like my life would be vastly improved if just one of these happened.

Anyway, if you could give me one of these things I'd love it. I'll do my best to get you all what you'd really like this year.
