manchester rock
in the last year:
British soccer, the word "ineffable", William Gibson novels, breakfast at restaurants in Mexico named "Al", driving through desolate Texas roads listening to Willie Nelson on a Sunday, chatting with dj /rupture about Nathaniel Hawthorne, actresses from LA, watching my Dad sing his heart out, Zen Palate, the muted hope of global democracy, finding a bagful of spanish fiction in a bookshop in Monterrey, this, my niece asking me "do you know who made god and the universe?" over the dinner table, talking to this guy about Frank Miller in Denton, jamiejamiejamie, rain walking across the pavement in Fort Greene Brooklyn, watching my mothers eyes as I walked across that stage, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, almost dying&handsshaking, watching the Red Sox be dreams/watching the Astros almost do the same, amor es amor es amor, old philosophy professors and honest talk, how am i not myself, baseball, philly folk, dave chapelle in nyc and orange soda, Eat Shrimp People, the chance to do it again.
