updates from Oregon

in the valley,
grey clouds overhead
mountains topped by snow and fog--
It would be easy to go mad here.

It is Winter now, and Oregon Winter sucks. Supposedly this late snowfall is the worst we have had in years; a decade or more. I said, "Man, this is snow." Someone said, "And when a guy from Pennsylvania says that, you know he's serious."

And I was.

Why would I lie?

What else is on my mind.

Los Angeles was madness. Heath Ledger died, and the next day an Irishman called me "the bloody reincarnation o' Heath Ledger." I wasn't though and it was sad that he died. Then later I gave someone a cigarette, and I said to this girl I had been hanging out with, "I really like giving people cigarettes."

She said, "Why?"

I didn't like her anymore after that.

I don't know what else to tell you. It has been such a terribly long time since I have updated this. My goal was thrice a week. But I was in LA. From now on the goal is, thrice a week if I am in a place from which I can blog.

Okay, that's a fine goal.
