"For a black-and-white TV, how much do you have to pay?" Hasberry said. "We've got an in-house joke here: How much time would he have gotten if he had stolen a color TV?"

I wonder how many more victims of America's rascist past grand design continue to pay the price for...for whatever it is we have going on right now.

Soon we will all be in Guantanamo singing Guantanamera...

peace to my Uncle Lonnie

I spent the night in seclusion last night. Mostly sleeping on my back in my glasses, dreaming strange things.

It's good to be here

I just wanted to say thank you. As i fight off the aggresive advances of this strange sleep pattern i can hardly forget the point and purpose of all of this. Dig in, get free, don't stop till you get it.The image “http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/sharemed/targets/images/pho/t028/T028926A.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Last night was a slow swim. Terrible. Submerged in a gigantic jello pudding cup with dark glasses and a really warm knit skully. Drinks, drinks, drinks. This is my drinking buddy, appears out of nowhere on random occasions then dissapears just as though she were never there. Shine5 has been happy lately because he loves short hair and lately the ladies...the ladies. But not this lady, this is my drinkin buddy...Although i did think Agent75 might like her. But Agent75 is VERY picky, thats why i dig her so much.

Update: Yappari, Agent75 did like her.....

...and a good night to all

The ICHING told me: "Heaven and earth are out of communion and all things are benumbed. What is above has no relation to what is below, and on earth confusion and disorder prevail....The way of inferior people is in ascent; the way of superior people is on the decline. But the superior people do not allow themselves to be turned from their principle. If the possibility of exerting influence is closed to them, they nevertheless remain faithful to their principals and withdraw into seclusion"

I just do what i can.

The first of our two shows last night was at a spot called D.O.M. is Shinjuku. The bands that came on before and after us were both sick. Sorry i dont remember the names, i will do better next time.

Makes me wanna holla'

Here in upside down world news agencies scramble urgently to be first at not being the first to publish stories. When the media has become so intimidated that it starts to function as an arm of the machine, then...amber
The question is no longer why. Now the question is who told?

P.S. sorry for the politics, i had a long night last night

P.S.P.S. I always thought of Saddam as a boxer man...go figure

Three Fifths and a Prophet

This is the Clo-Fizzy crew and a man called prophet. Hmmmmm, I never noticed this before, but apparently i wear the same t-shirt everyday...

This is my fifth day of sobriety and I'm afraid to leave the apartment. I'm affraid I might trip and accidentally get drunk. The best part of going underground is delivery. People are more than happy to bring you all kinds of nice things...As a matter of fact, I am waiting for my third delivery of the day... Which brings me to another interesting point about drying out. My energy level has increased exponentially. And, though it may seem contradictory(it isnt, trust me(or dont)), I have actually been able to sleep for more than 3 hours in a stretch.

I watched a flick about the life of a painter, MODIGLIANI, starring Andy Garcia today. Now that guy was doing it right. He had Tuberculosis from childhood that never cleared up, drank himself silly, got beaten up on the way to the big conest in which he finally bested Picasso(acording to the movie) and died just as he finally gained recognition. Bravo! Oh, and his crazy wife jumped out of a fifth story window...thats how you do it folks.

Dont get me wrong though, I am not rethinking my premise, this dry spell is just a phase. I'll be back on the streets of Shibuya soon, so don't you worry about a thing.

P.S. for some reason, people in impoverished countries still die of Tuberculosis, although it is completely preventable. I wonder why?

A semi-slow dream

This one is dedicated to those nights when you fall in love with someone you've never met(for no more and no less than 15 minutes). For those that dont know, you can survive on small multiple miniature doses of life's most precious natural resource. Moments stretch, internally, into entire eternities. A reflected glance, a brief brush, an instant in possibility born, lived, and passed away within the space between two heartbeat or two drum beats. And then comes the haunting. The what ifs that exist so substantially in an entirely new world that began to be when two eyes made love and gave life to ghosts. These are the spirits that sit with me and drink with me, the only time i dance is when they ask. I ache as this sandy memory shifts and...sketch dissappearing dreams in the drifting thought that the only perfect love that is, exists on floating nights around the island of lights.

P.S. I'll let you know if i ever find out who she is.

P.S.S. maybe.....

heres an ice cream wanna lick

Originally uploaded by Shine5.
You know, i usually dont like to sample sweets while im drinking... This is about 10 B52s along into the evening, and i really like butterflies. Details? What details? Tokyo nights, thats right. I believe this was Sunday, yeah thats it, Sunday night in The Hole. After this Anom Flux bounced and I ran into two cats from Wokini who dragged me to the Red Bar or is it Bar Red, the one with the deer heads and chandeliers, where I had 3 shots of The Y-Meister before falling into a sub suicidal depression and cursing two attractive young ladies (who i did not know)out for not loving me. Somehow i materialized in Nishi-Azabu, dragged Atama from her bed at 5:30AM(what a trooper) so that we could go eat breakfast at Sara. I woke up at Atama's and took a shower that lasted no less than 1hour and 15 minutes...I love long showers. Got back into her bed and watched a documentary about lions(in japanese) and dozed off lying on my back while waiting for Atama to get home from work. I always have the most vivid dreams when i lay o my back, though there is an old Japanese saying that if you sleep on your back you will get "kanashibari" which i take to be a ghost that sits on your chest and wont let you wake up, even if you know that you are dreaming. The dictionary defines it as to be bound hand and foot, you get the picture. (I Vowed that i would stop drinking forever, hahaha)
