Capital T

It is a dangerous thing to leave me alone with my thoughts...

For I am apt to entertain any falsity cloaked with appeal. 

What a relief that I am not left to my own devices.

Or to the devices of a god of my own making.

Same thing. 

"Alex Scott Reporting"

I was going to be a journalist.

Dave Torstenson and I used to say we were going to be the next Matt 

Lauer and Katie Couric.

Seriously...

We were so serious...

I commend my classmates who went on to pursue the profession...

Hooray for Annenberg's finest!

La Vie en Rose

Absolutely Remarkable!

"You're not living the song. You have to be the girl in love. Think like an actress."

"Would I ever lie to you, Amir agha?"

"I don't know. Would you?"

"I'd sooner eat dirt."

"Really? You'd do that?"

"Do what?"

"Eat dirt if I told you to."

"If you asked, I would...but I wonder, would you ever ask me to do such a thing, Amir agha?"

"Don't be stupid, Hassan. You know I wouldn't."

Delight

I stole this off of Ben's page.

I think there will be a room like this in heaven.

A Sunset by Andy Warhol

I had to see this before I went to sleep.

 

Tonight I felt common. Like a replica of every man who has lived

scarred by deedless ambition.

I want you...

more than comfort

intimacy

brilliance

insight

poetry

song

more than beauty.

YOU

I want to know what it's like

to fight in your war,

to witness you under pressure.

What I crave, 

volumes of facts cannot satisfy.

Palingenesia

What do you want Me to do for you?

I want you to clear my sight,

Sober my mind,

For I am a drunk on a sea of booze in a leaky boat...*

Lord, that our EYES may be opened.

Lord, that we may see afar off

the renewal of all things.
