The Ineffiable Facts of Losing Sleep
In the wee hours my brain tries to fill the time, it comes up with bullshit tasks that prevent me from sleeping. That file that needs to be downloaded, that program that needs to be tweeked. The computer has become my small world. The only thing that can be manipulated at will. My bringer of music and porn.
I have been thinking of trying to find some sort of human companionship again. God, I hate chatrooms. It's like going into a room and everyone is talking to each other and doesn't even notice you enter the room.
Kind of like real life now that I think of it.
I need to be something more than I am, a symbol of hope to the hopless, something that will bring fear to my enemies.
I Know! I shall Become A Bat!
(just kidding)
I can't count on it just dropping into my lap. The last time that happened said person couldn't cope with my baggage. I feel uncomfortable looking for someone. I'm the most self loathing person on the west coast (other than pornstars who do golden showers or shiza movies), why in the blue fuck would someone want to...um, fuck me?
She would have to be into some of the same things I am, comics, music, books.
Ohhhhh, I need a Geeky Woman
Ohhhhh, I need a Geeky Girl.
(With opologies to Pink Floyd)

I'm never going to know you now/But I'm going to love you anyhow
Sometimes when life hands you a lift up it's only to kick you in the shorts.
I admit it was my fault that it ended the way it did. I had been so alone for it seemed like ages. Someone comes into you life, and you instantly have a connection with, you open up. Like a clam with the heat on.
She was so sweet, and nice. She said she wanted to hear about my break-up. She was getting over someone too. She refused to talk about it, and even then in the vaguest terms.
So, I told her. BIG MISTAKE.
It overloaded her empathic Synapses like boiling water on cool flesh. I remember sitting there recounting my Jerry Bruckheimer-Style Disaster of a first relationship/ Breakup. Her eyes were wide like an Anime character. My face was hot talking about what went down, and it wasn't the half eaten chicken burrito in front of me (even though it was muy calyente). I felt drained. The wounds were still wet to the touch. I ruined my chances with this girl right there and I didn't know it until last night.
I popped up yahoo messenger and saw here there. I said hi she said
"Read Your Email. I can't talk right now."
I remember when my ex would tell me to check my e-mail bad shit was about to come down.
Second verse, Same as the first...
The e-mail was written in very cold language. An eviction notice written by a psycologist.
She felt the need to distance herself from my pain. I couldn't say that I blamed her. She told me I should seek therapy. I don't have insurance right now.
I sent her an e-mail back, tried to not sound terribly hurt (which I was), tried to be funny (which I do when I'm hurt), inplied I was having feelings for her ( I was going to ask her to 'go steady' on our next outing).
I sent her an mp3 of a song I had stuck in my head the day before. The main stanza being:
"I'm Never Going To Know You Now / But I'm Going To Love You Anyhow"
Elliot Smith, Waltz #2 (XO)
I didn't know how prophetic it would be.

Dr Gonzo's ashes to be shot out of cannon

The organisers of a memorial service for writer Hunter S Thompson are to build a 150 foot-high tower from which to fire his ashes. Who is funding this extraordinary monument? Johnny Depp will foot the bill for the structure and the memorial, due to take place on August 20th. Depp, who played Thompson in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, and who is also set to star in The Rum Diary, obviously has a strong admiration for the late author.
During the ceremony, a cannon sitting on top of the structure willfire off the ashes over Thompson's Colorado ranch. Hunter, who was 67,committed suicide in February and always had this particular wish of celebration to commemorate his death. Going out with a bang, literally.
Join Equis is the event producer, and he revealed that the tower will be 12 feet wide and will resemble the Thompson trademark "Gonzo fist”.The event will be a very private celebration of his successes and another ceremony about his life will be set for another date.
Thompson's hilarious genius and ability to pin-point bureaucracy and idiosyncrasies in society saw him gain a cult following from readers worldwide.
Hunter lived life by his own plan, and he will never be forgotten due to his legacy of great works left behind.
