Don’t engage your workforce in a costly, protracted war. (This won’t help.)
Don’t lower the price of your vehicles to an unprofitable low. (Though this may help.)

START MAKING A VARIETY OF CARS THAT WILL APPEAL TO A VARIETY OF PEOPLE!!!

“Get up, get up, get up!” It’s 6:30 am, and there’s work to be done.

You blink, bleary-eyed, and you shrug your blankets and your lover off. You tread a well-worn path to the bathroom, reconstitute your image, and move on.

THE GOTHIC FUNK is the return to childhood, with a more complex, developed perspective. it is temporary relief from every alter-occupation. it is a 64 oz. jug of fleeting unconditional acceptance, distilled in a galvanized washtub. it is a suspension in a colloid of powdered socialization, under-diluted.

– YESTERDAY – Yesterday I was all but useless. I did manage to print out Lisa’s poetry project and some other work, but I didn’t get around to reading it. I did some work on the website and did a little shopping, but I think a general lack of sleep had caught up to me.

Well, I’ve got the midwest covered, I’d say. Otherwise, this display is pretty unimpressive. Sigh.

Today is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord…

I went to morning Mass before heading off to work, but due to a stomachache that’s resulted from who-knows-what, I was halfway distracted through the whole sequence.

The Feast of the Baptism is the gateway marking the end of Christmas and the beginning of “ordinary time.”

– WEEKEND – Nice. Relaxing. Stay innable.
On FRIDAY, I finally installed the pot rack that Becky got us for the wedding. It took all morning, essentially, though I also gave the place a quick clean. In the afternoon, I did all the inane financial tasks I’ve been putting off, such as applying for a credit card and organizing the bills and paystubs.

– Stayed home most of yesterday, though in the evening, Jess and I went out to a cafe with Matt.
– I’ve updated my resume and vitae and created an Urbantasm website adjunct to this one. Let me know what you think…
– I’ve been gotten down a bit… I can’t get the creepy Gacy song from the new Sunjan Stevens album out of my head, and I keep imagining those toothed worm-creatures from King Kong.

It is to not approach from a distance but to be close and familiar.
It is to be cynical at will about the world at large, but naive and ready for possibilities.
It is to understand that something fundamental trumps earthbound cynicism.
