Wars are fought only be rival bands of poets who are hellbent on proving their dedication to their particular vision of Beauty. It’s very charming, in a way - to want to fight to the death over something like how a line is drawn in the sand: which shape is more beautiful? No, this one! No, that one! Hahahaha. Good for them. But we have betters kinds of musicals we can put on while those guys are occupied with that shit.

I bought a friend of mine rune stones today and gave them to her before I left. I realized something about how divination works that may be useful to people. Try this on for size. When you’re doing divination, think about whatever is important to you. Then say that you’re ready to find out what the question is that you’re REALLY asking about this situation. And that is what rune or card of I Ching saying or whatever that you will pull. It is the question, not the answer. The answer is up to you. Sometimes you need help formulating the question properly though!

Okay, so I was gonna write all this shit before I left for California tomorrow, but then a bunch of last minute type shit happened and then I never got around to really developing this more fully. So here are some pictures and videos.

Oh, and while I’m at it, if you could contribute anything to “moving fund”, that would be totally amazing. All these different things are crunching me at the same time, and I’ll totally get through it all with flying colors, but any little help here and there to by beer would so make all the difference.

So thanks, and I will see you all on the other side.

Or will I?

An “Irish goodbye” is a slang term with its origins in the Irish-American neighborhoods of New York City and Boston. The term refers to the practice of inconspicuously leaving a place where one has gathered with friends (usually for quite some time) without ever formally announcing that one is leaving. Note that an Irish goodbye requires a conscious decision by the person to leave without bidding adieu. It is a decision undertaken not for any emotional reasons, but solely as a matter of convenience. The Irish goodbye allows a person to disappear from a function with the utmost expediency without spending extra time on “thank-yous” etc.
