maybe not a good idea to make a late night latte… insomnia…

great smokies fall courses 2009 just arrived in my inbox. i want to sign up for a class, but that would cost money. i could teach another writing class at the flood gallery fine arts center, & that might earn some money. this quandry may turn philosophical: social objects vrs capital objects?

i hate scanning through my inbox & finding email i haven’t replyed to in 3 months…

listening to a public conversation on reinhold niebuhr & the american present…
good thing i started my monday last night around 9 p.m.
it’s been quite a busy morning. i had to produce a 10 minute audio broadcast before noon. then there was an unexpected meeting followed by several micro-meetings. now a late lunch with a good book & then on to print design projects.
the dirty little secret to this quasi-productivity… i haven’t checked email yet today. #fb

yesterday i had lunch with poet donald hall… sort of… i finished reading his memoir unpacking the boxes during lunch at jack of the wood. #fb

@t_f:
not sure if i like sending tumblr posts to twitter… – any tumblr out there have an opinion on that feature? tumblr.com/xwz2o3b…
i like turning it off, there’s still the option box to send a post if you want.
yeah, i like that option of turning off the ‘send to twitter’ box in tumblr… i like how tumblr allows users to view their twitter feed (like tweetdeck)… it’s a feature ping.fm doesn’t have…

Getting my hair cut. Man, I wish I had the confidence to pull off a Morrissey flip. Unfortunately, It would probably look atrocious.
no way… just got my hair but too…
Did you cut it short? What will Asheville do without you two long haired dudes? hehe
yeah, well, shorter than i’ve had it in two or three years… i guess it’s shoulder length b/c i can still pull it back in a small ponytail & look somewhat professional at the office…

it’s raining… & there’s not enough coffee to lift my heavy eyelids…

‘91 was the summer after graduation… this is not a page from my journal even though some of the goals are the same… maybe it’s a a post-glam rock/pre-grunge thing… maybe it’s a gen-x thing… maybe i don’t want to look at the list page from my journal… maybe…

over the weekend i was asked, on a couple occasions, why people abandon the faith of their childhood. i fidgeted, looked out the window, & offered some anecdotal comments anemic of any real answers. anthony bradley offers a more articulate response to why people move from youth group to agnosticism. but i didn’t have an answer, nor do i have fond memories of youth group.
church youth group, for me, was a dull experience in perseverance. most of the youth attended the church’s christian school. a couple of us attended the public school & were reminded that we were pagans within a cathedral. “why would i want to invite friends from school to youth group?” i asked myself. “to be ostracized like me?”
somewhere in those murky years of high school i turned to books for companionship & writing poetry for private enterprise. maybe not in the way wallace stevens did: “after one has abandoned a belief in God, poetry is that essence which takes its place as life’s redemption.” i felt abandoned, but did not seek to abandon.
perseverance, poetry, & a feeble faith have traveled with me, but members of the youth group seem to be pebbles in a path long ago traversed.
