Tulsans! Apparently we are going to have a peace rally. Tommorrow (sat 1/18), 41st and Yale, 10 to noon. Be there. Visit The Tulsa Peace Fellowship for more information.

Actually, if you'd like to come with me (and hopefully Beanie) give me a call.

Where did the American monomania about success come from? Sometimes it really boggles the mind. If you are in a situation that makes you happy and your basic needs are provided for what more is there to want? Why is it that Americans are seemingly so obsessed with amassing wealth, having more stuff, and better careers?

I spent some time thinking about what I really consider necessary to my happiness. They were suprisingly few and relatively simple. I need the same basics as everyone else, that is: food and shelter. Beyond that give me some source of music, something to read, and friends, and I'm all set. Really. That's it... well... maybe something to write on.

How about you? What do you need in your life? What's optional? Are you obsessed with bigger and better?

This from Pornblography: "...she's hoping to ride Scott's coattails to mainstream superstardom, a world where one does not need to douche and take an enema before going on camera." I had always wondered about hygiene in porn. I'm glad to read it from someone in the industry.

I read some snippets of Plato's _Republic_ in the theory and criticism book last night. I am a bit befuddled. Why bother to write yes-men to nod and smile at everything your main character says? I see now why most of the non-ishmael characters in Daniel Quinn's Ishmael books are so incredibly stupid (if noble).

Hukt on fonics wurkt fur me.

If only Ford would come out with an SUV bigger than the Excursion... *sigh* I'd love to have one of those sitting in the four-car garage of my McMansion.

Kidding. I've got my wife, my dog and my friends. I love my little old cottage. We own one car. One four year old computer. Life is good.
