new thoughts..

none of which are necessary to put down here, as this is not a thesis statement but a
work in progress. the interesting thing about reading a blog is not the end intellectual
product but the making of it, the glints and glimmers of a mind at work and the poetry
it may occasionally throw out.

i think i may as well be episcopalian...there is a church quite close to my house, about 4 min away.

umm...i think tobacco may be a good alternative to exercise. that goes for coffee and stimulants in
general.

it makes the heart beat faster, and in general gives you the experience of hard exercise.
i am not a doctor, but i think the attraction to stimulants like coffee in office environments
makes sense.

so, if you're not walking anywhere or riding your bike today (which you should do if you live in
Blue America), chew some tobacco! it's 90% healthier than smoking, and has not been
conclusively shown to cause cancer. Copenhagen is trad; Skoal Bandits are for those who
can't stomach the straight stuff, and it's a little healthier too.

oh, and my bike is down so i've been walking the 4 miles every day. good stuff.

Clipse is a good rap group, and Vampire Weekend is a good rock band.

Lyrics:
Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I climbed to Dharamsala too
I did
I met the highest lama
His accent sounded fine
to me, to me

and:
As a young girl
Louis Vuitton
With your mother
On a sandy lawn

As a sophomore
With reggaeton
And the linens
You're sitting on

Is your bed made?
Is your sweater on?
Do you want to
Like you know I do

But this feels so unnatural
Peter Gabriel too

Can you stay up
To see the dawn
In the colors
Of Bennetton?

Is your bed made
Is your sweater on
Do you want to
Like you know I do

But this feels so unnatural
Peter Gabriel too

Is your bed made
Is your sweater on
Do you want to (i think he says "fuck" here)
Like you know I do
