27 November 2002 (Wednesday): saying grace

I am thankful for every single thing in my life. Including mosquitoes and those punkass kids at the burger joint. Including the lonely hours after dusk, this chronic case of Catholic-style guilt, and pimples inside the nose.

But I am especially thankful the following, in no particular order: my mother, my apartment, musical instruments, my computer, clocks, great books I have yet to read, Soren in all his Venus-As-A-Boy-ness, everyone who leaves comments on this silly little journal, a youthful body that puts up with all manner of abuse and still enjoys bounding around in the back yard, bright colors, fresh cornbread, and late-night conversations in the kitchen.

If I die tomorrow it probably wouldn't be so nice for some of you, but it'd be fine with me.
