Russian Roulette

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Sometimes there is a song that touches the feeling of the world.  What an interesting song, to play now, as the cards are falling, and the earth takes back her own.

What does it mean, for this song to be on the hearts and tongues of our children now?

“…will I ever see another sunrise?”

Things I Learned from Sleeping Outside in the Open

Friday, October 30th, 2009
  1. Jackals do not gnaw your head while you sleep.  Besides, they’re in Africa.
  2. Mosquitoes do, even through mosquito netting.
  3. Space blankets do not protect you from the coldness of the ground.
  4. Air pads do, and are therefore the absolute best invention since sex.
  5. Dew is cold as hell, or would be if hell froze over.
  6. The dawn songbirds are saying, “holy fuckin-a I’m soooo cold,” but God bound them to only sing pretty tunes.
  7. If you get up and move around at dawn, the temperature rises 70 degrees.
  8. If you do not get up and move around, your legs will fall off.
  9. The sun is the most beautifully warm thing in the world.  Except, (so I understand), God.
  10. Coffee is a specialty medication designed to bring you back from purgatory (which is cold).
