FLUXLIST: Brian's list

2004-08-29 Thread Meryl Gross2



I've been away. Now I'm back 
here.

Had a cell phone for three days once. 
Returned it. I don't want to be that accessible.

I have a driver's license but almost never 
drive. I walk or take mass transit.

I read and hoard books (and I work in the 
publishing industry). I don't like the idea of "E-books." Too 
clean.

I see deer shit out the window/

Never played a video game (except Pong). 


Addicted to television. Nonstop visual 
stimulation.

Don't really know how many emails I get 
daily. Twenty? Thirty? Keep some.

Addicted to methamphetamine for just over two 
years(long ago).Still addicted to tobacco. Invariably involved 
with alcoholics (sometimes active, sometimes dry), although I myself don't 
metabolize alcohol too well. Took loads and loads of pills. Acid in 
college. Dope in college (I've always found the opiates dull). Pot 
in high school. Cocaine in college and f or a few years after. Now, it's 
down to tobacco and the occasional Xanex. Pathetic, really.

I have to interact with people every day, but I 
don't much think about it.

Some friends took me to Atlantic City so I could 
photograph Giant Jersey Butts and other boardwalk attractions. It was 
ghastly, I loved it! There's a statue of Bert Parks (he used to host the 
Miss America pagent for many years). He's holding out a crown, and if you 
stand underneath it a hidden speaker starts blaring "here she comes, miss 
america..." It's great. I have no gambling luck whatsoever. In 
fact, I may even be a jinx to other gamblers, so I don't gamble. I like 
some slot machines, though.

Just came back from Wildwood New Jersey (down the 
shore). The longest, trashiest boardwalk. The googiest motels (we 
stayed at the Casa Bahama - all aqua/pink/yellow A frames). It's just 
wonderful. And I hate the beach.

FLUXLIST: Exhibit is filled with variety, pleasant surprises

This Story has been sent to you by : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Exhibit is filled with variety, pleasant surprisesWhat could be more versatile and surprising than a book? An artists' book. That's the revelation of a new exhibit at the Minnesota Center for Books Arts in Minneapolis. Co-curators Jeff Rathermel and Rosemary Furtak have filled the MCBA gallery with more than 150 selections from the Walker's rarely seen collection to show the vast range of this fertile, contradictory genre.

   Kill me, now. Our dogs are hanging out outside.
 Or
  forever hold your
   nuts in
   a blender. I have finally and thankfully come to
  the conclusion I am a
   lil
   gay boy in a lil girls body.  I have a friend
  Jane, who is single and
   lives
   alone. She has multiple health problems. Well,
  we're at the YMCA on
  base
   and
   talking to people about God and musicial
 talents.
  Sometimes Jane
   struggles
   with insecurity and depression. Thoughts of
  suicide cross her mind.
  
   One time when she was feeling this way, she
 prayed
  for help but none
   came.
   I helped Mike with his e-mail, that was cool.
  Saturday night I had a
   rather
   interesting dream. In it, I was with some sort
 of
  group, I had the
  sense
   that we were missionaries and probably on some
  sort of mission. We
  also
   had
   some leaders and I got kind a Baptisty vibe
 off
  of them. We were
   issued
   weapons by these men, AK-47s.
  
   The urge to commit suicide passed but
 afterwards,
  she wondered why God
   hadn't sent help. Then one day after talking to
  Suzanne, a friend from
   church, she found that Suzanne had received a
  prompting the day she
  had
   prayed for help. The Ak-47 is the most popular
  weapon in the world and
   it's
   not the best but it's not a bad gun either. She
  had felt that she
  should
   call Jane but sadly hadn't followed through on
 it.
  
   According to Mike's bible study Tuesday, people
  are treating the
  gospel
   like
   their low-carb diets. The idea is to slim down.
  Well that's ok for the
   body
   but not for the spirit. God gave him a real good
  analogy. Dan is
   working.

hello zoe.
here is the first complimentary list.

i don't go anywhere, so it doesn't matter if i
  walk, run, or drive.
books are only worth the while if i can stash
  my gear in their hollow bodies.
i can't see anything out my window, as i can't
  stand the daylight, so i covered them up
  with aluminum foil and duct tape.
i usually just have the tv on 24/7, as it's a
  skinny white boy junky's only diversion.
SAVE FOR VIDEO GAMES: i sit and stare at how
cool things are.
i don't count or save all of my emails, just
  those that have to do with getting high.
Seroquel, neurontin, artane and luvox are my
  drugs of choice, though a nice 
  ball of dope usually suffices.
my only interaction is with my dealer downtown.

brian



welcome to my parlor.



Re: FLUXLIST: answers

now for reals, thought i feel some folks would
prefer the latter for their precious, serene
and saint like existence

i usually drive places, save for the Circle K,
  as El Paso is a  car town .
i like books, but got into e-books after some
  begrudgement factors had been overcome.
  you can get e-books for a multiple of
  readers.  Adobe has a great one.
my windows are all covered, due to the extreme
   amount of sun i receive, but not with 
   foil and duct tape, with tan towels and
   rolled out piano rolls.
   had to think of something crafty to do with
   them.
my tv watching goes in spurts, though i prefer
   movies.
i play video games some of the time.
actually, it turns into studying them, and i wonder
  if i am having fun with them.
i don't count my emails either.
i save some.
Seroquel, neurontin, artane and luvox are my pre-
  scribed drugs, and the closest thing
  i get to any vice, is nicotine.
my interaction is either with my folks or
   with y'all.
that's about it.
