| from metaballo : |
| In light of your recent entry at suicidegirls pertaining to passion and Buddism, the following quotation may be of some interest to you. <P> "The great object in life is Sensation-�to feel that we exist, even though in pain." <P> ~Lord Byron <P> I, for one, would be more inclined to save Buddhism for death, as we all shall be enlightened soon enough. (How's that for optimism?) Until then, enjoy foolishness in all of its variegated, relative, dualistic, passionate, though ultimately erroneous, particulars--so long as you recognize it as such. <P> Of course, that decision is yours and yours alone to make, whenever and however many times you wish to make it. |
| from cherylstar : |
| Hey...thanks for introducing me to Diaryland (inadvertantly!). I was searching on "sun sign Leo" "Moon sign Pisces" in Goooogle and poof! You showed up. If indeed up there / out there / over there affects us down here you and I must have some things in common! :0) |
| from metaballo : |
| What makes me an idealist is the missionary zeal with which I strive to abolish all idealism. I used to be clean, rigorous, logical, objective, and scientific. Damn you existentialism! Damn you romanticism! |
| from metaballo : |
| The only thing worth believing in is that nothing is worth believing in. |
| from yamakingj : |
| Chris, I just realised that you have "The City Of Lost Children" listed as a favorite film. Is that not fucking genius? I thought maybe I was alone there. Some time, you and I should sit John down, and watch that. |
| from soffs : |
| dland ate nearly about everyone's older.html all those months ago in july. |
| from soffs : |
| Chris-babe, you still haven't fixed your older.html ;-) |
| from metaballo : |
| O.G.'s in the house. <br> O.G.'s always in the house. <br> O.G. never leaves the house. <br> O.G. needs to get out. <br> O.G. needs to get some sun. |
| from soffs : |
| Well, what can I say. :-) I hope that one day something makes sense in your life. |
| from mnemnosyne : |
| Things are going. I left a (pretty much) complete update on my page because I realized I have been neglecting all of you of my incredible life?? So you like Portland? I always thought it was kind of stereotypical. Good luck to you with work. S~ |
| from mnemnosyne : |
| Hey. Just trying to stay in touch. How are you? S~ |
| from yamakingj : |
| Today's entry was genius. Poetic and sweetly sarcastic. One of many reasons I'm proud to say you are a friend of mine. I wish you the best. |
| from yamakingj : |
| Just a quick not to say HI. I'm in my new home and have adjusted quite well. Still trying to meet new people, but I have a new obsession, so I'll live. Take Care. J |
| from yamakingj : |
| Thank you SO much for the uplifting words. I need that right now. I've begun my inexorable decent into madness... so far it hasn't been enjoyable. Take care. J |
| from yamakingj : |
| "Language is no more communication than a map is a road trip" That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing. J |
| from drowning13 : |
| Haven't kept up much with Gregory Orr's recent work. But I very much admire the work he produced in the '70's, "Gathering the Bones Together" being my favorite. |
| from yamakingj : |
| You told me, last time we talked, that you've "Seen these things start out amiciable, but end up really bad". I thought that wouldn't happen to us. I thought wrong... |
| from yamakingj : |
| I finished "Diamond Age" and loved it. I added Neil to my favs list. LOL. I don't know how long it will be before I get around to "Snow Crash", considering my current state of upheaval. |
| from yamakingj : |
| your last two enteries were very touching, and the second was written quite well. I wish your uncle the best. Seems like everyone is struggling right now. It's like humanity is in the middle of a horrific low pressure system. I can't wait for the thunderstorms... They make everything seem worthwhile. J |
| from fyredragon : |
| hello, dear thought i'd drop a line since i finally got on, heh. hope portland suits you fine. mike and i will prolly be moving to cali in the next yr or so... take care, chris :") |
| from mnemnosyne : |
| Thanks so much! I will be living on ice cream and pop-ice all summer, so that is just in time. We'll have to chat sometime...S~ |

| "For the thinker, as for the artist, what counts in life is not the number of rare and exciting adventures he encounters, but the inner depth in that life." <P> ~William Barrett |
| from metaballo : |
| "A man of genius can hardly be sociable, for what dialogues could indeed be so intelligent and entertaining as his own monologues?" <P> ~Arthur Schopenhauer |
| from metaballo : |
| The first of the following aphorisms is, as yet, a mutated fish, so be patient with it. <P> "Solitude is as a wild, unbridled river, for it allows one's thoughts and feelings to flow freely, unobstructed by the dams of decorum." <P> "Solitude allows one to suffer without embarrassment." <P> "Variegated suffering is the spice of life." <P> ~John Santa Cruz |

| Room of doom! Room of doom! |
| from synchronaut : |
| it is a shame that i am too far away (and too old these days) to beat you. no, it was <b>not</b> martin's breath. thank god. i don't know what that cat eats, but it is foul. |
| from metaballo : |
| Was it Martin's breath? <P> (I'm sorry.) |
| from yamakingj : |
| Thanks. Your praise is to me, the praise of ten others. I enjoyed writing that one and am glad you could appreciate the wordplay. |
| from fyredragon : |
| thank you, dear. i do so hope you count yourself among those who make breath worth breathing. i certainly do... |
| from metaballo : |
| I'm pleased to see that you're finally sharing some of your poetry with the rest of us. You're poetry is as poignant and pithy as my aphorisms; you waste not a word. Although I am, by no means, in any position to critique poetry (I'll leave that to Dr. J. Evans Pritchard), you certainly have a gift for making description all but tangible; I could nearly taste the particles of salt from your "sodium lights;" that and I was eating a watermelon jolly-rancher at the time. If all of your poems are of that caliber of excellence (if such a phrase may be applied to poetry), I see no reason why you should hoard them all to yourself. Encore! Encore!<P>(At any rate, I enjoyed your poem.) |
| from yamakingj : |
| Thanks for the note. The trip was in fact enjoyable, inspiring, and relaxing. |
| from metaballo : |
|
Thank you for the compliment; I thought that you, of anyone, would appreciate that disconcerting juxtaposition. Good Money, a response to your e-mail entitled "Mahanirvana Tantra" is forthcoming. |
| from coquet : |
| re: mother's day sentiment: Awww! Lovely!!! |
| from ravieslave : |
| Tell me ... was the heat really that stifling? |
| from yamakingj : |
| Perhaps those pictures are meant to stay hidden, for the betterment of all humanity. Am I to assume then, that you were attempting reverse-psychology? Or was this simply a friendly warning, so that you may, at a later date, say "I told you so?" LOL J |
| from yamakingj : |
| was that supposed to disuade me? or was it reverse psychology? WAIT A SECOND! Why does everyone assume I have only ONE thing on my mind? -Grumble- J |

"I just think that their flight from and hatred of technology is self-defeating. The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha - which is to demean oneself." ~Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance You should read it, you dirty hippie. |
| from yamakingj : |
| As I am too lazy and leonine to bother with e-mail, this will be a lengthy note. First of all, I have been enjoying the Neil Stephenson novel "Diamond Age" to no end. Thanks for the loaner. Alas it is somewhat depressing. It was ok for Robert Heinlein and Frank Herburt to write better than me, they did not write cyberpunk and furthermore, they're dead. It was okay for Philip K Dick to write cyberpunk better than me, because he too is dead. It was even fine with me for Gibson to write cyberpunk, because he wasn't THAT much better than me, but this Stephenson character is REALLY putting a damper on my ability to become the reigning cybergod. Woe is me. Also, i've been noting back and forth with Devonsdream (dunno her name) and she says I should consult you for a description. She should probably consult you for a warning. BUT I'M NOT AS BAD AS YOU ALL SAY! (am I?) J |
| from metaballo : |
| Do you want a piece? I'll ask again: Do you want a piece? ... We have apple, cherry, blueberry, and lemon marang. (It's a jest that was spontaneously conceived by I Eric and I when we were in eighth grade. What do you want?) |
| from camelfxckxr : |
| I have enjoyed reading you very much.Your words have a beautifully poetic flow to them. |
| from metaballo : |
| The fact that the universe may be perceived as imperfect makes it thus. |
| from metaballo : |
| Doesn't even add my screen name to his list of favorite diaries. As Eric Jaramillo would have said or, rather, expressed so as to signify dismay: "Chshhh ... Who is this guy?" |
