2 good friends coming over tonight..we're doing that wine tasting thing we did last year..a zoom thing from Italy...3 bottles..I try to embrace it but I dont really like doing it..

[Jorge]

I'm flying out to Colombia tonight to spend a couple weeks with nearly the whole family.

It's gonna be the first time in 20 years that I will sleep in my childhood home (yes the camgirl house. I am told it's been thoroughly disinfected)

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

If you are being trafficked and this is a call for help, we hear you and will try to help.

[Jorge]

Have you watched any of the camgirl videos filmed in your childhood home

No but for a time I became really invested in finding them. Best I could find was a picture of one of them posing in front of the staircase

Please get a photo of you playing Donkey Kong on your old setup. Bonus points if the chair is comically small.

woke up early today despite it being saturday

5am

started the dishes and laundry

did some exercise

cold day

got the newspaper

used a jigsaw to trim some wood

saw a local play

play instruments

joyful day

money is not real

there is a secret super power

all you have to do is decide that it doesn't matter

and you are invincible

[LoathedVermin72]

I’ll try that line with my mortgage company
