Daily mantra: I am Matthew Barney and Bjork.

Sometimes zealous, sometimes quiet--but always good-natured, always kind of a sucker. I'm an easy-going kind of guy with more likes than dislikes.

Eleanor Clark said: If you don't enjoy life, you can't possibly enjoy an oyster. I think the same goes for cupcakes: they're not just for kids, live a little.

My new found discovery: I'm good at darts.

Russel Edson's poem "Please Don't Be a Walnut" is still a good poem:

A man opening a walnut shell finds a tiny unborn monkey; thinks he must be mistaken, the walnut was not a walnut, but a monkey egg.

. . . Monkeys lay eggs; of course they do because they live in trees like birds. They are really birds, flightless birds like ostriches.

. . . He opens another walnut and finds a walnut inside. Hmmm, he says, the monkey egg has a walnut inside; that's funny. . . . Maybe this is really a walnut? . . . No, it can't be because the first walnut was a monkey egg, which makes this walnut wrong if it is a walnut.

Please don't be a walnut, he says to the walnut.

But just then the great clock of the universe shows that it's time for the earth to end, even as it shows that the time has come for other things to begin.

The man says, just before the clock strikes, please don't be a walnut. . . .
