rain fight
Then i had to fight my way out of Shibuya. A terrific battle that ended in the middle of Hatchiko crossing when my umbrella broke and the light turned red.

The hills are alive...
...with a serious lack of women. I'm never one in favor of bringing sand to the beach, but next time, i will bring a coat to the mountains.
Yeah, i know i said i was looking for an answer, but balance in all things is important...no wait, thats something this annoying Libra chick i used to date said. Hmmm, so, as a Capricorn I'll say that i had a good time not existing, and as a paranoid bastard, when these two girls tried to take me off into the dark i ran away(nj). Of course, by the time i came to my senses it was too late, the damage was done. You know that saying about "a woman spurned..." I can't really remember it right now, but suffice to say that it doesnt end with "will still make out with you after you get over your wierd paranoid episode."
But I must say, had it gone any other way, I wouldnt have even bothered to write about it, so....

The Yi Ching says:
"In the issuing of commands, it is all-important that they really penetrate the consciousness of the subordinates. This is effected by adaptation of the commands to their understanding. A twofold penetration is required: first penetration of a command to the feeling of the vassals, scattering the evil hidden in secret recesses, as the wind scatters clouds; second, a still deeper penetration, to the depths of consciousness, where the hidden good must be awakened."
So basically, all i need to do is get me some vassals to penetrate and ill be all set.

Do you know, where you're going...
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

frozen inferno
Broadcasting live and direct from a cold hell, with only my fear to keep me warm. Outside it refuses to storm so I hide from the light and rain tears on the inside. Everything has changed since I stopped masturbating, I have a lot more time to play Monopoly while listening for those footsteps in the hallway. I hear everything. As they descend to this basement level, the authoritarian click of the storm trooper boot heels warns me of their approach. I tell myself that I’m ready for the millionth and what I’m positive will be the last time, the boots come closer still. How long is that damn hallway anyway? I laugh in a snort through my nose, time is fucking with me. There is a sharp static crackle. Ha! One of them forgot to turn off his walkie-talkie. I tell myself I’m ready for the million-and-oneth time and look up into the darkness that surrounds the pale glow of my computer screen, waiting. The boots stopped beating. Maybe it was my heart the whole time. I hear everything, but it all sounds like they are coming to get me. I just wait for the nighttime to come so I can slip out the back door and blend into the shadows casts by floating candles on a dark lake. I burn so black and swim in nothing, feeling like a beautiful nothing until day comes to take away my safe. I clutch my desperate dream closely to my chest, squeezing the last seconds from shot glasses and strange kisses until I notice day out of the corner of my eye. She always slips in so quietly, promising not to make any trouble, not this time, but I know better. She watches me for hours sometimes, a sweety sticky smile on her face, and on occasion I fall into it and have another drink. When I open my eyes I’m standing on a corner as a river of people-like instruments flow over and around me in the form of schoolgirls and businessmen. I want to stand completely still until they pass and hope that they won’t notice me, but they never stop coming and I have to make a move. Then I realize that they can’t see me. Then I remember that I’m invisible. I laugh out loud, really loud, because how could I forget that I don’t even exist in the daytime. I levitate back to my cave and turn on the night so I can pass out with my glasses on in the reassuring glow of a computer that never goes off.

Goodmorning Kiss
These little fragrant fuckers haunted me on my walk home. The sweetest smell. So sweet that i pulled the head off of one and tried to lick away its sticky insides. Well, if they are coming to get me, at least i will have the sticky stink of pretty little flowers on my lips.

Midnight Green
75 and I went to the park and played with fireworks. I skated until i sweated and then we sent the colorful sparks into the sky while somebody played the worst R&B music on a shitty little portable radio. I took a picture of a bug and the we walked home. On the way home...

Hey Ladies
Doesnt look like it, but this is 5:30AM and we are on our way to the Milk Bar
Alabama song
( Brecht )
Well, show me the way, To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way, To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find, The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama, We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why
Well, show me the way, To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way, To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find, The next little girl
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama, We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why

Floating Reflections
When the surface of your perceived reality breaks into one dimensional geometrics and you can't reach past the glass...lean back and enjoy the space you find.

Yesterday, well technically this morning- well, my morning, which means about 2 or 3 pm- I visited my secret zoo. Sprawled alongside a dirt road, or at least a dusty one. The cages are all wood, well, most of them arent made of too much of anything, kinda just woody moss covered thoughts really. The most interesting animals, irridescent rodents, a tortoise lives in the crook of a giant oak tree, and insects of intimate coloring. The little boy's favorite secret place.

I went to an anniversary party at the Yen Bar in Shibuya, had a wonderful time with some beautiful people, too bad i dont actually remember any of that time. Pinwheels spinning in my mind, or is that pinholes...Well, lucky for us I've always got my magical reflecting glass.

Take it where you can get it: part 2
The funny thing I've noticed is that people passing by seem to get really offended when i take these kinds of flicks. Kind of an aloof indignation, as they keep-on-going. I on the other hand actually shook this guy to see if he was even living anymore-then i took some more pictures. Don't worry though, as I was walking away the police pulled up and started beating him. Just kidding-this is Japan, if he was a little bit closer to the building he probably coulda slept until 10 or 11AM.
