some More Desultory Cerebrations

a Dilettante ~ an amateur or dabbler; especially , one who follows art or a branch of knowledge sporadically, superficially, or for amusement only.
~ an admirer or lover of the fine arts

it is said that 25 million Africans have hiv/aids. what they don't tell you is that in 1985 aids was redefined in Africa so that it could be diagnosed Without a test. Thenceforth, diseases common in Africa could be called aids. How many cases of aids compared to other diseases? Who knows.

i often don't look at things like they are risks, i look at them as experiences, like today, i had the chance to experience going to court dazed, and talking to a bunch of sheriffs, bailiffs, and a judge. Was there a risk, possibly, but the experience was worth more to me.

my hidden agenda is to amaze myself

Do you feel attractive when i'm with you?
I feel real, real, real unattractive when i'm with you. ~the toadies

i find the college girls that used to be very attractive and skinny(before college), but now have gained some weight(mostly from alcohol), but still wear tight shirts that show their bare pudgy midriff -> Hilarious

i sit and sulk and wait and smoke my sorrows away

Making me happy is often my first priority.

Happiness is a goal i seek in everything i do

While growing up you are never that sure about yourself, and you rely heavily on others and their influences. But i can finally say that i am independent of others influences. I know who I am, what I am, and what I want to be.

Microsoft only addresses and fixes the top 20% of problems with it's software.

Why can, approximately, 90% of college women Not walk around outside in the winter without getting the bottom of their pants wet and with salt stains - Lots of guys have pants that sag and touch the ground and yet our pants rarely get wet and get salt stains.

Be good, and if you're not going to be good, be careful.

~photography shows and describes much more than it can explain
~everything is worth looking at and photographing
~whatever it is about pictures, photographs, its just about impossible to follow up with words. They don't have anything to do with one another.
~lets stop at the liquor store and do some business
~reality is dreamlike, photography is real ~ since reality is constantly fleeting but photography stays around.
~photography has nothing to do with words. Art- you can love it and appreciate it, but you can't really talk about it, it doesn't make any sense.
~quotes by william eggleston

My dog, Rusty, has gotten old. He is 14 , i believe. Currently, he has many tumors, the largest is located under his armpit, which affects his walking and his breathing. His eyes have gotten very cloudy, we think glaucoma. He also has signifigant hearing loss. He also has doggie dementia, so he's getting a little senile. He has obviously become more sad, stressed and less playful. Furthermore, lately when you want to pet him or lay with him, he simply shakes and gets very stressed and nervous and freaked out. But i just smoked with him and he seems so much better. Alot happier, less nervous, and very sweet. When he was younger he would always snuggle with us and fall asleep. He unfortunately hasn't done that in many years. Currently he is snuggled up next to me asleep.

i plan almost nothing, except outfits

i am frequently a non-conformist who almost always looks for my own straightest line.
