Man I feel like everything is falling apart...I live in a house of majority vagina haters, I got a fuckin F on my fucking feminist theory class---and after I have done so much for feminism!!! and with this canadian or maybe its college, grading system, that means I had to have gotten a 50 fucking percent or less!! This fucking sucks is what. Also, nobody is posting anything and it's making me reeeaaal suspicious.
Vic-hang in there, all kinds of fucked up shit happens for a reason---look at the tolerance I have learned from having a chimp for a sister-in-law!
Matt--you do long hair well, however, if you want to cut it go for it--it will always grow back

Steph, I would like you to know how much I appreciate all those lessons in slickness that you may have thought fell on deaf un-slick ears. I think they may actually have found their way into my cavernous echoing medulla oblongatta (MEDULLA OBLONGATA!!!) (Hey Vicki, do you still remember how to perform a tracheotomy? And that life or limb thing?) Please wish me sluck.

Now... this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down,
and I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince...of darkness.
yeah, so i dont know how my life managed to fall to pieces in the midst of three days but i guess anything is possible! the whole what the hell is going on with my best friend thing is just the base of a pyramid of shit that is my life. i call my mom tonight and she asks me if i know what's going on. what's going on you ask? oh, well, ive recieved a summons and i am being sued for 50,000 dollars. that's all. you may recall a certain hell's angel motorcycle accident i was involved in A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, well now i am being sued by that deathrider. my court date is Oct 30th meaning that if my father doesnt somehow manage to get a lawyer to appear in court for me (i dont even know if this is possible) i will be flying home to go to fucking court, miss halloween in new york, and consequently, die. i have been through the psychological/emotional grinder the last few days and it has culminated in a lawsuit and a midterm. if there is any testament to the fact that i must be one hardcore strong fucking person (yeah, im gonna blow my own horn cuz shit, somebody might as well) it is that i havent rammed my head up against the brickwall outside of hayden repeatedly until that mean little nightshift guard has to come out and peel my bleeding, busted skull off the pavement. sure, ive thought about it, but c'mon, who hasnt? i havent slept in days, weeks, months and really, im beginning to kind of enjoy my new state of mind. sure i have constant visuals and problems with depth perception, and i also have this nagging feeling of death and destruction, but it's kind of neat. i feel as though there are scribbles constantly twisting and intertwining, like a bunch of wires, in the back of my brain. i wonder if that's just a weird subliminal way of me telling myself that i am overheating and will eventually blow a fuse. yes, it probably is. eh, whaddya gonna do. october, why do you plague me every year?
dear reader, you were just unintentionally a guest at a pity party pour moi. hahahaha. made you read.
dear bill, i understood everything you wrote and agree whole-heartedly. especially about the nyc's sad diagnosis. we should talk. i had NO idea you felt this way. p.s. crystal meth never did anyone any good. except for matt murray. it was like mother's milk to that kid's candy ravin' ass. of course, he was completely devoid of all feeling and emotion...but he did do a killer ball.

Here's a special Bill post, he's been rackin his brains out writing some essay all night ... not to mention that coke and crystal meth cocktail he had earlier(you didn't hear it from me though)
well actually you did. the reports of my crackheadedness are highly exarggerated. aside from drugs, my roomate are xtasy slinging hard core right wing republicans with a penchant for buggering nymphomaniaicle cokehead gymnists. well only one likes to bang athletic prepubescent college enrolled midgets. the other is rather sweet, except he is voting for buchanan. I am definetly writing too much in my life. I need to spend less pychic energy and absorb more. New york suffers from blockbuster syndrom: paralyzation due to overstimulation. and cheep drugs and expensive alchohol. It also is very disjointed like my writing at this current state. I think i'm becoming an insomniac. I daydream about sleeping. rats deprived of REM sleep for two weeks die, human begin to hallucinate after three days, i wonder what happens tous after two weeks? i'd like to think i'm hardier than a rat, but you know seeing some of the rats around here i doubt it. I attempted to intravenusly imbibe Cream, but vinyl doesn't realy liquify enough in a blender. Cream is explosivly good. i mean that is such a short period of time they created some of the most incredible music. I must go now morpheus beckons. as does mark, but i don't think i'll listen to him.
WHat I tell you about the cocaine folks ... good morning once again. One big fat (doobie)love

Today started out a bit wierd, as I tried to follow Bill's roommate's discussion about how he was having a threesome tonight and how he was going to get the other roommate "fucked". THe other roommate didn't seem to excited at the prospect of "getting fucked". But I digress. At about 9 or so I walked down with Collin and his friends to Tonic, where I saw the most excellent jazz show of my life. Totally inspirational, and unplanned ... it was very very cool. I came out of it with a sense of awe and love ... it was so intense. So intense it drove me and Collin to throw down a REGGAE BAGEL (DISCO) PARTY. (this consisted of Bob Marley's Uprising, and cooking bagel after bagel in a borrowed toaster ... pure genius). SO I'm hoping tomorrow will bring sunny skies sos Is can actually takes some picturunies. One Love folks ... good morning.

since the last post did not post here it is:
Cream! Are we ever ostracized! I seem to recall spending many a day practicing some certain Cream songs in some garage band withthe likes of a guitar genius named ... I think it was Matt. I wonder what ever happened to that man.
Matt: go get a haircut, and stop smoking, or die
Yesterday we went to a couple of bars and I met a man named (first he said his name was Matt) Nate or otherwise known in these parts as N Dawg. (He died for our sins) I don't remeber what we were talking about, I think it was how both our lives were a jar, where he proceeded to proclaim that he had a jar in his pocket and that we should find a place to use this jar to it's fullest capabilities. Instead he got arrested along the way ... too bad. THen proceeded to meet a very nice jamaican who told me a joke about a teacher and doctors and I think I added in plumbing but whos counting. And lo and behold, I've been asking people about this Katz deli I hears sos much about and well I appened to be sleeping right next door to the place last night, sos Is bought my self a sandwhich, and now am about to make my pilgremage to the Moon ska store(it's been in the planning stages for four years, and the trek will finally be complete today.

Cream fan, you say? I recall a lonely summer afternoon spent playing multiplayer Warcraft online. I was in a game with a guy named SWLABR and got my arse kicked because we kept talking about the Cream. For those of you who don't know, SWLABR is a song: She walks like a bearded rainbow. All I have to say, Steph, is: a. yes, we are ostracized, but b. we stick together.
mmmm, mm mm mm mm, mm mm
mmmm, mm mm mm mmmmmmm
Ba ba ba, ba-ba ba.. I feel free........
Oh, Mike. Tell your friend a chode isn't an ugly geek. A chode is a really short, fat, penis. That's what my sister says, anyway. Ha!
I think I'm going to cut my hair. I've decided I'm tired of this goofy teenage rebellion crap. Give me some feedback. Steph, Mark, you've seen me recently... The idea of having really long hair is appealing, but the sight of it is not. It's cool, but I'm beginning to get the impression that it doesn't really suit me. Maybe I'll go downtown and get something interesting done with it. Alright, I'm outta here. Pool hall awaits.

I have become a Cream whore. Pull your minds out of the gutters kids, because I mean the band. Aren't people who like Cream generally ostracised and shunned from the community? I keep writing their name as Creme, and am shunned for my stupidity in that way. It's only a month or so till Tofurkey day kids!

So as all you of you may have heard--the Palestinians have been having demonstrations all over the place. They have had 3 or so here, and last time they did, they burned Israeli flags, and screamed down with the jews, kill all jews, and such. So today I went to the Israeli peace rally outside of school---it was good shit. Alicia and I went with Ella, whose Jewish, and we were waving our Israeli flags furiously, clapping, cheering on the guy singing a prayer in the microphone, making eye contact with hot jews in a "ooh, I think you are a handsome jew too" way--I could sort of pull off being Jewish b/c of the dark hair, but Alicia's anglo-saxon blonde strands just weren't workin' for her. Either way we were foiled in our "I'm a faux Jew" plan because when everyone was belting out prayers, we could only avert our eyes to the ground and pretend like we were deaf-mutes. But this isn't to devalue the experiece, because it was truly a good one.

And now, it's time for... Uncle Matt's Monday Morning Update. UMMMU.
Hey kids. One word sums up my weekend, and that word is 'Blotto.' Boozo T. Clown must have moved into my pad while I was gone, because I sure as hell didn't make this horrendous mess. My room mate stayed across the hall all weekend. Anyway... Friday: Mark came in, we rented DVDs, watched one of them with Pang on the couch in front of the computer. Mark got blotto on Citrus Smirnoff, I on Guiness and Budweiser. The movie: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Really not all that good, I've decided, after seeing it twenty times. Hang on, I need a kleenex to blow a weekend's worth of death out of my nose. Okay. Anyway, Saturday night, Natalia came in. We went to some cheap ass party on 56th and Ellis in an apartment.. Nobody there. But, there was a DIY (that's do-it-yourself for those of you not aspiring to one day be host of This Old House) bar with Belvidere. What a beautiful substance. So I mixed up some Twisted Cosmopolitans and had a smashing good time, darling. I don't really recall doing much else. We just went back to the dorm and drank some more Citrus and beer. Sunday, bloody Sunday. Oh, Sunday. Why do you treat me so bad? Natalia and I left at 9 to go to her Rugby game; Mark stayed in bed and left when Marisa came to pick him up. So, the Rugby game at UIC. We took the 55th bus to the Red Line to the Roosevelt Bus and got off at the UIC stop right before Blue Island. Went in that freaky gym building; always wondered what that was. The guy behind the desk told me to just open the out door and come on through, I didn't need an ID. Rugby kids are a good deal of fun. Oh, I must add: I still hadn't smoked a cigarette at that point, going on something like 36 hours or so. Anyway, Natalia settled some things and we walked over to Maxwell Street to view the bazaar, if you will. For those of you who've never been there, and those who have but not in a while, let me paint a picture. Picture many old Jewish men, many middle-aged Mexican men, many African American people, a few Hindi women, and a lone Yuppie, all of them posted diligently behind tables lined with worthless garbage. The viscous odor of hair grease or elbow grease or motor grease wafts through the air as a man with a stump for an arm wearing a tattered suit from some bygone era and a sign that reads 'Homless, please help' walks by blowing random notes on his old, rusty-reed harmonica. Cars race by on the Kennedy, but none like that 1968 Buick Electra 225 that the man over there, they call him Bossman, is asking ten thousand dollars for. Natalia turns to me and says "Matt, I'm serious. Let's get eight thousand dollars and buy it, and go on a road trip." And I look at her and I love her and she is serious and I am serious. I couldn't have been more serious, but I decided that it wasn't a great plan and bailed out at the last moment. There are some moments a person will come to regret in his life. That one moment will stand out in mine as a bastion of my lack of free will. ---- Okay, Jesus Christ. I just realized that I had a really emotional day yesterday. I don't know if I feel right writing it right now. I need to reflect. I really wish I didn't have class today. Basically, the game was fun, went to a bar afterward called Rapture.. The bartender was Paul J. Something from Shakespeare country, as he called Middle England. We compared ethnicity, spoke what little Gaelic we knew between us, talked about English history, talked about Dresden and London and 1945. And Nam and UN peacekeeping in Bosnia. And J stands for Jaguar because his dad really loved American cars. "Why do you call this an Ugly Motherfucker, Paul?" "Baisicly, wut it is is a Long Oiland Oice Tay, with much less Sour. This bloke came in an' ordered that, tooke sip, and said 'That's an Ugly Mothefucker." He smiled and laughed and I pounded on the bar some more. I drank myself silly and filled up J's wallet and thus won myself a VIP card. Alright! Enough. I will stop there. On the way home, we got stopped, we being Natalia, Mike D. and I, by a man who proposed to draw the three of us for 20 bucks. We got him to do it for 8. His name? Buster B. Real. I'll scan the picture sometime soon. Okay! I need to brush my teeth so I don't smell like booze in class. Bye!

steph: sometimes i listen to "cant take my eyes off of you" and i think about us and i laugh. those were good times driving, smoking, blasting that song. i love you!
i also think about every boy i have ever thought about while listening to that song (it's been through many a changing lad) and i smile that nostalgic, sad, smirk that college has made me so fond of.

so im lying in bed feeling sorry for myself, for various reasons that now seem ridiculous. and im thinking about how confused i am and blah, blah, blah and how loud this city is and why cant i get a second of peace and quiet GODDAMMIT! and all of a sudden i hear these notes. notes i know, notes accompanied by an almost moaning voice. and i realize that someone is blasting rainer maria out their window. it has filled the entire middle portion inside the building so that the music is going in through every window. it's incredible! oh god, feeling neglected is on right now! oh, how wonderful and fitting! i love how life sends me these little reminders now and then to stop feeling sorry for myself and laugh. laugh at myself, at my seriousness, at my anger. let it go. gotta let it all go.
i think i should find the person playing this and give them a big fat kiss. i think i will.
mark, likewise.
love you all.
