So I got a letter recently (the author shall remain unknown) and I thought it might be fun to share it with you- tell me what you think:

Quakers and shakers point their angry fingers when they should open chubby arms. Baptisms are drownings and communion takes place at Arby's. You can have anything that you want just get down on your knees. Here ya go, have a catalog.

I dreamt of a a cafeteria in the 70's. Mullets and rat tales abound, cruelty and monster trucks before fuckin Springsteen gave it a soul. Little heads are filled with transAMs and Dolly Parton fantasy. They feast on fried fish but Skinny is a glutton. He hunches over a giant greasy platter, guarding it's nasty bounty. Chubby Justice makes an accusation. “You're not gonna eat all that!”. Skinny smiles, allowing a regurgitation of fish to run down his chin and onto the platter. The chunks of used fish slop onto the fresh. Chubby Justice has had enough. He begins to punch himself in the side of the head. It dents. Now the nose and the blood. He falls to the ground spasms of rage with the rhythmic thumping of the fist against the face. Flagellation metronome. But then it changes. Chubby Justice's arms begin to shorten into symmetric cylinders. Rivets appear on the skin. He leaps to his feet, now a bad ass robot, painted like the hulk. Purple trunks, green metal. But Skinny has changed as well. He is a giant trash can robot with one set of normal arms and two sets of midget arms protruding from his lower abdomen. Shiva Vs. Ganeish. But Ganeish is beautiful and graceful. Sheba has power.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

The hurricane has passed and I hope you all are well. I have had just about enough of this bad weather business. That being said, it is now time to update the Xanga!

Soooooooo.... alot has happened since I moved back to Dallas! I thought I knew exactly where I was going to work, but plans changed- that always happens to me, and I can deal with that I guess. Anyway, to make a long story short,  I got a great job as the marketing and advertising director at a growing swim school. I work with some great folks and I enjoy everything about the job.... so far. I work more than I would care to, but I guess thats what you get after college. It seems like no matter what stage of life I am in I never manage to have the time to do the stuff I want to do- like read a good book, lay around all day and nap between movies, go on a cruise, go to Paris, or update the xanga . Life lesson #1: make a list of all the stuff you want to do, set a deadline, and find a way to do it- this is the way it has to be! I don't want to be one of those people who at 50 (or whenever) regrets not having made the most of my life by doing all the things I wanted to do when I had an opportunity.

Speaking of experiences, there are a few, but you'll have to call me if you want the details. Recently, I went to see Coldplay when they came to town. Judith drove down and we had a great time at the concert. It was one of the best shows I have seen in a while and I would definitely pay to see them again. Now if only I could find someone who would go see Billy Idol with me. Anyone??? Just get back to me on that .
