Like A New Life

In the last 5 weeks I've written more in my journal than in the 4 months previous to that. I don't want to take the time to provide the visual proof of this - the photo of the edge of the journal, a marker on March 28 when this new thing with stillsecretperson began, clearly showing that the last 2/3 of this journal that i'm almost done with, which i started in mid-November, is from the last 5 weeks, and that's largely because of her, or more precisely, because of her and me.

[overpersonal stuff redacted]

Life seems on the very edge of control as big changes of all kinds float down like provisions and materiel being parachuted out of an Army cargo plane to the battlefield. What a weird metaphor. stop.

Other things on deck: increased involvement with border activist groups. a sort of whole different experience compared to media or environmental stuff. I guess I should blog about that in more detail some time soon. And increasing frustration with all the meetings I have committed or half-committed myself too. Pan Left, Dry River, Dry River events committee, Root Force, NMD, EF!, Indymedia, May 1 Coalition... it's dizzying.

I'm going to have to cut down very very soon, because I've just committed to doing a lot more work-work for awhile. And I'm just tired of so much stuff going on. I have to prioritize. and simplify. My top priority is really just to lay on a beach with her and a mojito for about a week. but of course that's not very realistic.

sigh.

Yeah, please. Get a room. Or open up a LiveJournal where you can add emoticons to the prose. Love is nothing more than a terrible, mutual delusion. Posted by: curmudgeon at Mayo 4, 2006 03:08 PM
hahah curmudgeon is a laff. yeah, save the sap for somewhere else! joking... mostly? i dunno. i dont mind. it serves as an interesting companion posting to the post about "hope" however. naturally, i have lots of thoughts on both subjects, but i dont really want to get into it here. (maybe when you are visiting pdx?) it kinda all boils down to linguistics and logic to me: ALL hope, SOME hope, what is HOPE, no HOPE. substitute 'love' for 'hope' and ditto. anyhow, i am procrastinating!...
