Jan. 18th, 2007 08:37 pmMy brother (affecting a Cockney accent that he really can't sustain, intermittently lapsing into the hybrid Australian-Chinese-German-Partial Stroke voice that is his all-purpose accent): Do you 'ave enny space on yer ipod?
Me: Yes, why?
Bro: Oi thot Oi cuud put some pictsuhs on it.
Me: Pictures of wot?
Bro: Pictsuhs of me! Pull moy fingeh. (He just saw Children of Men)
Me: Ha ha! No.
Bro: No reerry. Wot, you don't wont pictsuhs of me?
Me: Hahaha
Bro: Iss coo. Oi unnerstans. People always sez: woy you makin' tha face? And oi sez, why YOU makin at face? Errybody make a face, it’s not an option!
ISN'T THIS TRUE
Moving onnnn, thinking about "pain comes from desire." If there is one thing on this earth that I hate, it is onions. Hate em. If there is another thing, I can't think of it right now. I strongly dislike dogmas. Yes, including dogmatic hatred. In any case, I agree that pain comes from desire. I will concede that. But that's no reason not to have it anyway.
I listened to those two CDs you gave me so much that I lost them. Isn't this true, that we only lose the things we use the most. Things we don't use can't be lost because we don't need them. I never lose anything. Even when I do, I don't. I am this good at overcoming desire. There are only things near to me, and things not. Everything not annihilated is somewhere, regardless of my feelings on the subject. My handwriting is gorgeous, arabic, right now. [.....] And loss... What about things far away? I don't know what I would call what happens to those. Attrition, maybe, but not loss. I am thinking, of course, of old friends.
