mas eu vou a brasil em fevereiro. and it's all i think about; my head swims.
it took hours to click purchase on the airline's web site. hours. buyer's guilt. a tinge of buyer's remorse now. but no looking back. it's on. andd i'm keyed up. and i just want to keep rolling around, bouncing from here to there.
panique, panique, when i couldn't immediately locate my passport. relief upon sending it for renewal. another decade of possibility created.
marked bien sur by loads of fun, fun, fun:
1. several of my hardcore punk dreams coming true! from vinyl to live - in person..it may have taken decades, dammit, but there i was, and there they were -- d.o.a., cro-mags and bad brains!
2. bandanas! ok, people, admittedly a tad dusty, but honestly, let's not exaggerrate! i saw y'all smoking your ciggies and porros, but then covering your faces so as not to inhale any dust particles whatsoever!
3. the utter bizarreness of moving from d.o.a.'s hardcore intensity, bodies flying through the air, to les rave-party mixes of franki chan on a neighboring stage...i found myself zoned out, in a quasi-stupor-trance within minutes...but snapped back for cro-mags!
4. cazadores and fresca! so light and refreshing
5. spinach and garlic slices from the parlor
6. d.o.a.!
more fun fun fun, please!
felt 'round the world. still sense it today, two days post.
ventured out to view the results stream in on a big-screen on the covered terrace of a local pub. cheers erupting as states were called. boos for states lost, including texas. later, honking horns of cars passing by. we honked our horn as well, driving home, windows down, manu's "politik kills" blaring, taos co-op kids on the roof, chanting "obama," passers-by (pedestrian, motorists, cyclsits, etc.) flashing the peace signpeace sign, more horns honking.
yes, tuesday nite felt good.
a propos des massages:
letting go. evacuating toxins from my tissues. succumbing to the work, melting into it. the sensation of being transported to a quasi-euphoric altered state. barely capable of flexing my arms, just enough to reach the steering wheel for the drive home. entranced by denia, lost in its rhythms.
ce que j'aimerais...
to live like that, to feel that sensation daily.
this, according to the national repulican trust. after all, there remains just days to avert a major national disaster -- aw, y'know, that one, that radical muslim, socialist, communist, terrorist leftist with the 100% liberal rating in congress. he's not just a risky choice, but a dangerous one! but, that's ok, because with your donation to the national republican trust, they will be able to air their ad exposing the real obama, stating the truth, doing the job that mcpain-f(l)ailin can't. this brought to my attention courtesy of that old friend i mentioned last week, the one who has been fairly quiet this year:
Dear Newsmax Reader:
We at the National Republican Trust are launching our first 30-second ad attacking Barack Obama and his plan to give illegal aliens driver's licenses.
We are already being attacked by liberal, pro-Obama blogs and we have just released our first ad! They are worried about us — and they should be!
Dick Morris says "The National Republican Trust is a very effective organization that can make a huge difference on election day."
Already our ads have been blanketing Ohio and Florida. They have hit these states like a neutron bomb — they don't kill people just Obama's lies!
Already, polls in both states show McCain is moving up. We believe these ads are working.
We are now firming up ad buys in other major swing states. You can make a big difference by donation to us because we only have days to roll out our campaign.
If you have donated before, donate again!
Please read Scott Wheeler's urgent letter below!

Dear Fellow American:
We have just days to go before Election Day . . . time is running short for us to avert a major disaster for our country. That disaster's name is President Barack Obama
But this disaster can be averted. I’m confident about this — even though the slanted media are overstating Obama’s inevitability.
But the numbers don’t lie.
The latest AP and IBD polls have John McCain basically tied with Obama!
Despite the full-court press to destroy McCain and Sarah Palin, Katie Couric’s antics against her, and a daily onslaught of media spin . . . McCain is still within striking distance.
The stakes have never been higher for the future of the country.
We either patriotically turn the country over to a man who has proudly served his nation in war time and peace — or we face electing a man who has a checkered past, a man who has counted domestic terrorists among his friends, and a man who spent 15 years in a church where his pastor regularly damned and condemned the United States.
Barack Obama is not simply a risky choice as our next president — He is a dangerous one.
This is why I have taken the helm here at the National Republican Trust Political Action Committee.
Here at the National Republican Trust, we understand our mission. It’s simple. It will also drive the left-wing media nuts.
Here’s the plan: We will tell the American people the truth about Barack Obama!
Every time John McCain or Sarah Palin tries to tell the truth about Obama, they are painted as mean-spirited and negative.
We here at the National Republican Trust can do the job McCain and Palin can’t.
But we need your help. Time is urgent — it’s crunch time.

The latest reports show Obama outspending McCain by 3-to-1 in key states.
Millions of dubious new voters with the help of groups like ACORN are being registered to put the most extreme liberal in the history of the presidency in the White House.
But I’ll shock you: that’s OK!
Let them spend millions in getting new “voters” and millions more in TV ads.
I believe truth is more powerful than lies. How powerful?
Well, so powerful, in fact, that I believe one airing of our TV ads will equal at least 10 airings of theirs.
This issue will nail him.
Obama has been trying to fool people and remake himself as a moderate to win over lower-income, white, Democratic and independent voters.
He wants to hide the facts about his record. He is the most extreme liberal ever to be nominated by a major party.
We all know his 100 percent liberal rating in Congress, his support for the TOTAL gun ban in Washington, D.C., his opposition to protecting babies born alive, and his support for tax increases.
But there is one issue almost all Americans agree on: Illegal aliens should not be given driver’s licenses.
from an old friend, with whom i've never discussed anything remotely political, and who, four years ago, forwarded me some pro-bush propaganda...she's been surprisingly quiet this year, save for a primary-season obama-the-muslim-themed message...an excerpt, for your friday reading pleasure:
...It's just that the past few months I've listened to the rantings and railings of the left in America calling for more giveaways and better ways to obtain the proverbial 'free lunch'...
...And now with the election results comes the promises of 'change'. 'Change we can believe in.' 'Change for the future.' When in fact if you really, I mean REALLY listen to what the new messiah is asking for, is not 'change of policy' or 'change for the better'. He is warning all of us that he wants our change all right, 'loose change', pocket change', social change, and political change. So people, wake up. For if you don't, the change you get may not be the change you were expecting or the change you wanted.
To close my screed, I want to leave you with some JM predictions in the event the junior Senator from Illinois becomes President and especially if the House and Senate are veto proof.
1). Strict new gun laws will be enacted even though he promised he would not.
2). The phrase 'In God We Trust' will be removed from all currency.
3). He will back away from his pledge to Israel and leave them to the wolves of Islam.
4). Hillary Clinton will be named to the Supreme Court.
5). Tax rates will return to their highest levels in 30 years.
6). The capital gains tax will be at least double current levels.
7). Retired Army General Wesley Clark will be named Secretary of Defense.
This is the General who was fired for 'integrity' issues.
8). The borders will be 'basically open' to all comers ... especially those from the Middle East and South America.
9). Amnesty will be granted to all illegals now in the U.S. regardless of status or even gang members (MS-13).
10). The war in Iraq will be brought to an abrupt end and the results will be tragic and the consequences to our military will be devastating.
I realize that my predictions may not sit too well with some people and the best we could all hope for is that I am totally wrong. Any bets?
If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!
It is Time for Americans to Speak up.
