Do not think me gentle because I speak in praise of gentleness, or elegant because I honour the grace that keeps this world. I am a [wo]man crude as any, gross of speech, intolerant, stubborn, angry, full of fits and furies. That I may have spoken well at times, is not natural. A wonder is what it is. (Wendell Berry)

The Day That Nothing Happened

hey... kelly comes back in fifteen days. it's funny to think, but we've been roomates for a couple of months now, but i think we've only lived together for like three days. ive decided that im not gonna capitalize anymore. its a public institution that has far outlived its usefullness.
i couldn't decide what to write, although a new update is way past due. so i figured.. if i cant think of something now, i have to ride the wave of my previous creativity. thats right, were breaking out the old journals.

"Nothing happened. (smiley face drawn in)

let's analyze this. on the nineteenth of november, nineteen ninety nine, nothing happened. i dont know how many times in history absolutely nothing happened, but i trust the journal i wrote when i was thirteen as a historically accurate document. therefore, we have something amazing here. nothing happened. people got up, ate breakfast, went to work/school, had work/school all day, in the middle, they ate an ordinary lunch, probably went to the bathroom during the day, came home, watched tv, ate dinner, watched more tv, and went to sleep. the next day was probably much more exciting and fun. in fact, this november nineteenth, in five days, will be the six year anniversary of that day, the day where nothing happened. it will be a saturday, and i will be in barcelona- so that day of nothingness will obviously not be repeated. but i will celebrate it with dance and song. maybe i'll write a dirge.
