my neuroses
my lunacy
my curiosity
my vanity
my one groupie-type experience
my obsession with Urd from Ah! My Goddess
my mega-Dad
my therapeutic need to share this
my memory lane trip
my irrationalities once in a while
my self-pity
my response to your Community Organizing list serve posting
my legalese
my fantasy to be a rock star in London today
my long-winded comments
my need for self-expression, or at least self-explanation
my repeated requests
my rant ... now it's all over except for the nightmares
my daughter, Isabella between races
my DMing fetish
my defensiveness
my wordy opinion
my obsession with Pink Floyd
my fascination with royalty
my request to come aboard
my long inked answers
my "pet peeves"
my appetite for what you consider idle talk
my little ritual
my poor sentimental soul
my bad habits
my opening statement
my simplistic survey of a world of man and his capacity for expression and extreme beauty, now playing in an institution near you
my neophyte questions about OOP
me in my testimony of how the Association of Flight Attendants has changed my life and opened my eyes to the need of a voice at work
me in my fantasy of writing corny horror drivel
me in my little game
me in my eternal recollection
me in my little monologue
me in my psuedo-scientific meditations on the relationship between, say, a coconut tree and a fine grain of sand ::

MEXICO OBSERVATIONS.

A stationer called Sangre de Cristo.
Many fruit juice/milk concoctions sipped out of plastic bags with straws.
Playstation parlors are a popular gathering spot for the kids.
Cigarette ads on TV.
The trash hounds are meek and sad, and they all limp.
Every church has a non-gruesome Christ in a Box and a horror-movie-makeup-special-FX gruesome depicition of the crucifixion.
Lucha Libre doesn't have nearly the presence I was hoping for. But some.
The strolling mariachi band members disperse to look for paying customers. Each have their own call or whistle to summon everyone back together for a song.
All barbershop and beauty parlor interiors seem to be painted a light green or light blue, and seem to glow from within as you pass by.
The least aggressive beggars ever.
Where old-school Volkswagen Beetles live!
If I lived there, I would be a sign painter. ::

THINGS TO BE AFRAID OF.
Bugs in walls
Bugs in shoes
Things flying off speeding trucks (esp. potatoes, mattresses)
Christmas lights
People who decide the only way they're ever going to have an impact on this world is to finally take action on those urges to turn their table over in a restaurant or ram everything in sight on the freeway
Doll attacks ::
