About Me:
" 'I always wanted you to admire my fasting,' said the hunger artist. 'We do admire it,' said the overseer, affably. 'But you shouldn't admire it,' said the hunger artist. 'Well then we don't admire it,' said the overseer, 'but why shouldn't we admire it?' 'Because I have to fast, I can't help it,' said the hunger artist. 'What a fellow you are,' said the overseer, 'and why can't you help it?' 'Because,' said the hunger artist, lifting his head a little and speaking, with his lips pursed, as if for a kiss, right into the overseer's ear, so that no syllable might be lost, 'because I couldn't find the food I liked. If I had found it, believe me, I should have made no fuss and stuffed myself like you or anyone else.' "
- Franz Kafka, "A Hunger Artist"
"See, I write jokes for a livin', man. Ya know, I sit in my hotel at night, I think of somethin' that's funny, then I go get a pen and I write it down. Or, if the pen's too far away, I have to convince myself that what I thought of ain't funny." - Mitch Hedberg

walking toupee, i see him as much
more. like, about ten inches more.
with Aaron and a bunch of kids who were
having a philosophy party. We were all about
fifteen, so the philosophy part didn't amount
to much, but hell, the Twister was great.
I also remember that Aaron was always
extremely well-dressed. I hope this is still the
case. I would hate it if Aaron had
degenerated into some sort of sloppy music
genius with no regard for good color schemes
or sexy hair.
I remember best, though, a conversation we
had about memory: a sunny spring day,
outside South Eugene High School, in the
rutted tracks next to the sports fields. Aaron
said, "Like, the shape of that cloud, maybe
that's how I'll remember today." I remember,
for myself, that my foot hurt from a pebble in
my shoe, and that I was wearing the same
black flowered dress I had worn when we
played Twister.
Aaron, I'd love to see you sometime, if our
paths happen to cross I'll make you some tea.
