Sorry bambi,...

Ps. Et tu brutus was a double sorry-for-sacrificing-life-on-earth and an invitation for others to fill in the survey if they like. Or are we just more shy than I thought?

(I appreciate your entry, but "et tu, brutus" is what you say to your crowd-following best firend when he is plunging a knife in your back.)

I suppose I meant it as if speaking from from the animals point of view, as in, "How about you? Did you destroy me as well?"

Yama yama.

Sometimes this place reminds me of cocktail parties where everyone is so worried about looking clever that no one actually says anything or has any fun at all.

isn't it fun to try to look clever?

oe, I love reading things like this about people, I'm fascinated by minor personal idiosyncracies, but I just don't have time to complete it myself, which is probably the case with most here.

So I'll answer one easy question and say the most mind-expanding experience I ever had - and I know this is sooooo cliche it is sickening - but it was the night I dropped acid in Ann Arbor and when i looked at a motorcycle I could see the entire history of the universe, mankind's desires, harnessed material energy, and engineering finesse that had come together to creat that object and how it was all intertwined and breathing in sync with the wholeness of the world in which we live. Beautiful experience and still resonates in me pretty substantially.

Not clever, but honest.

I don't know if I would call sitting around someone's crappy apartment in Bayside drinking Miller High Life a "cocktail party."

Q: Do you know How Many Music Snobs It Takes To Screw In a Light Bulb?

A: Yes I have it on vinyl.

(I suppose a variation could be "Yes, I got it as an import.")
