thoughts to music on ICQ and various other subjects

Lover, who I have yet to meet, promise me that our love will not be something that can be easily capsulated in a declaration in your ICQ info.  I shutter to think that everything I mean to you can be described in a ill-formed and horribly structered 250 characters or less.  I also request that you don't take it upon yourself to tell the Hot or Not community that "your taken".  I don't know why I ask you these things, but trivialized digital notices that you are involved with me are a major turn off for some reason.  Also, I will leave you, no questions asked, if you refer to me as some sort of mammal or other woodland creature in your blog.
My depression had broke like a fever.  As suddenly as I realized that I was terrified some time ago, I have just given in to whatever notion I happened upon in my saturnian melancholy.  Clarity is very scary.
I had a dream, I really can't remember what night it was but it was close to when I woke up and it was definitely sometime in the past 48 hours, and in this dream I was angry at my mother.  Now let me clarify...I, usually, am always in some state of disdain towards my mother.  What made it different in the dream is that I was actively expressing it.  Dislike for someone can take on all sorts of different dimensions and become more and more complicated...but in the end it all really boils down to a general and all encompassing dislike and distaste for someone or something.  The phrase "Fuck Off" most accurately captures my schema with my mother.  I don't understand her actions, yet they have become all too predictable.  She seems to grow more and more childish with her actions and less and less direct with her aggression.  Her ego grows stronger and with it her scope of the world grows dimmer.  A paranoia of sorts has fell over her.  I guess we all see the world through the eyes we choose to see them with, however there is something basically different with her brand of subjectivity.  It's fearful, it's timid, it's contained.  Solitude has broken her, and she's afraid of something she can't really make tangible in her own mind.  I have sympathy for her and it's really sad cause I wouldn't dream of ever letting her in on it.  She'd only use it against me.  That's a shitty place to be with your own mother.  She's trying to conduct a hostile takeover on my personality, I guess you could say.  I grow tired of having to not budge an inch.
To Ashley Sanders, where have you gone?  I really wonder if you even exist anymore.  Maybe it was all a dream...me sitting alone in my own dark room, me straining to remember the way you felt and looked like in my lap on long busrides home, maybe nothing happened at all.  Stranger things have happened and I do question if people ever believe me when I speak of my lost love of you.  It was always very private in my memory and could only be something I made up in my mind to comfort me...give me something to hold up as the standard of how Chad Webb loved and lost.
Final Question:  I think a great majority of us, wether we admit or not, want some sort of love we've been subjected to in the media (film, song, or written word) and I pose the question to you, "Do you really want a love that can be summarized in a few hours or pages?"

Reflections on looking up

For the entirity of human history, we have and been promised that we all will go "up".  Let loose the mortal coil and ascend into the heavens.  Where this is something to be said that this is a very powerful motif, "Why does taking the human spirit further necessarily mean up?", what kind of a promise is that at all?
We all, in a sense, fight, fuck, steal, love, laugh, speak, do all the activities that make up the grand tapestry that is the human endeaveor not for grand and noble reasons or basic, biological urges, but maybe we do it just to get our minds off the thing that is breathing down our neck.  This promise that we've made isn't a very reassuring one, in fact in application it's very frightening.  Where humanity finds beauty in the new perspective of reaching the heavens, our souls call out to each other.  The heavens are vast, empty, and ultimately very lonely.
In terms of Nietzsche, both the utmost Apollonian and Dionysian in us, the persuit of pleasure or of substance, could be seen as diversionary.  We all seem to make ourselves too busy to ask the question that drips cold on the back of your neck when you are at your weakest.  It's the dark thing that terrifies you when you don't even understand what your afraid of.  It's the dreadful thing that makes your soul ache even more as you cry.  I doubt any person could name it, for who would want to even take the time to give it one.
Our barrier to it could be qualified as so many things.  Someplaces you seen that this "barrier" is quite thick and abandon in things is rampant.  Others you see the "barrier" is quite thin and people go to great measure to find ways to put miles between themselves and whatever haunts them.
Losing a lover, losing a friend, confronting the unknown, living with a somber notion, all these things draw us closer to whatever I feel is behind the thin promises of bliss in the sky.  Maybe it's nothing to be afraid of at all.  Maybe my vague terror will break like a fever.  The only thing the preoccupies me now a days is that I can see, unspoken, in everyone I look at the variously quanties of anxiety towards this thing I can not name.

Hmmm...

I've made a scrapbook in my mind for a person I've never even met. I guess you could say that I know who you are. You a vague mix of light and dark in my mind, at least your face anyway. Just like everyone else who is familar to me. I'm sorry, I know I'm asking too much from you.
I realized that I'm looking for something protective. Something that eeriely resembles the persona I choose to exhibit. I want it to talk to me. Call me to bed. Tell me I'm handsome...and strong...and smart. I need my ego stroked I guess. One could say that's a major shortcoming on my part and...I wouldn't argue with them. But I wouldn't argue with them. I'm as poumpous as the people I fail to identify with. I'm of greater clarity that the people who you don't understand me. I'm sick of attitude. It's something that really doesn't get anything done. Pride only fucks with ya, it never helps. I need to write more and I need to be more fluid with my train of thought.
I hope Holly is ok. I need a fucking hug.

Culture is another excuse for not thinking for yourself.

Saw so many genuinely whimsical things today.

I noticed a blue ford ranger pulling out of an intersection today. The reason I noticed it was that there was something hanging out the bottom of it. I first assumed it was a bag or some helpless radical. But the blotch moving from beneath the vehicle was actually two legs being dangled from the side of it. A helpless white trash lady with bleach blonde hair and ill fitting blouse and stirrup pants proceed to jump from the moving vehicle (it was pulling out of an intersection so it wasn't going too fast) and tuck and roll down the grass lined shoulder of U.S. 119. She proceeded to DART across the 2 lanes of oncoming traffic to some sort of asylum that I couldn't see from my car. The abrupt action of the female occupant of the car caused the driver to slam the truck over the curb and get out while the vehicle was rolling to a stop. The following sight of a typical white trash couple, extremely thin mulleted and trucker capped man and obese 80's clad woman, running across the 4-lane is one of the sights I shall never forget. The sort of childlike anxiety on the woman's face is burned into my minds eye. As I drove by the spot of the altercation, I witnessed it's aftermath. The woman was hiding behind and ambulance driver and a man who exited his Cavalier in what I would swear looked like boxers while the husband pleaded for the woman to return to the car.

As I proceeded further, I saw a man that will kick ass till the day he dies. Clad in his aviator glasses, members only jacket (blue-green), and well worn wrangler jeans, his visage gave off a well worn glow that was substantiated by the sheer attitude radiating from the cigarette that was hanging off his lip. If I were to get in a knife fight in the store, I can think of no one else I want watching my back.
