When I was a student in Los Angeles in the early 80's I had a hard time finding a place to live near campus. Eventually, I answered an ad to share a small apartment in Santa Monica. At this time I was around 20, but I was very young looking for my age.

The man who was looking for a "roommate" gave off a creepy vibe, but I took the place because I was desperate. After a few weeks, he confided in me that he really liked "younger men"...he showed me a huge list of people he had interviewed for the apartment, and told me that I should be really pleased that he picked me over all the others.

He also said that he usually ended up sleeping with the people he rented to...lucky me. Incidentally, this dude was a middle-school teacher. Imagine his surprise when I started sleeping with a foot-long pair of graphics arts scissors next to my bed.

He seemed genuinely hurt and angry a few days later when I loaded all my possessions into my small car, and left. I can't remember what he said, but he seemed to think that I had no right to just up and leave without somehow clearing it through him...like I was one of his students or something.

These people and their friends just don't get it. They think that their love is a good thing...but they are wrong. Their love is a bad thing...and when it crosses the line (like Polanski), it's a criminal thing.

Child rapists are also prosecuted in order to protect potential future victims.

this is the only part of your post that is even remotely worth reading.

I can't wait to walk down the street with my computer, night-vision goggles, gps, heads-up display, temperature-controlled jump suit with ballistic panels, and propeller beanie.

As it happens, this article was about Roman Polanski.

food metaphors for the cloud...isn't the cloud itself a metaphor?

they're going for the pagehits...lifestyle articles and such

but of course you don't buy that...end of conversation. Another one-date wonder...

I had a girlfriend who missed a couple of periods...I was wondering if she was pregnant. Anyway, I asked about it later and she said everything was fine...I always suspected that she had an abortion.

Of course she was within her rights...that's not even an issue. But eventually we broke up.

The riot grrlz who say: hey Dick, none of your business...well, there's a lack of respect there, too.

you're annoying people because you aren't pretending to listen to them enough...it's that simple

one for work, one for surfing

they will always have enough bandwidth for what they currently do.

don't really need it...don't really want it

now I just need a better grammar checker

David Peat, founder of the Pari Center in Italy and who holds a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Liverpool, along with David Bohm, met with a number of Algonquin elders because of their process-based (verb-based) language. The scientists found that the thought processes of the Algonquin elders were in tune with what those particular scientists held to be a quantum reality rather than that of a classical reality.

when I'm unemployed it just effects me...the presumption that gender conflict is inevitable for everyone who loses their job is irritating to say the least

fighting, fighting, fighting about the dishes and the laundry and the vacuuming and cleaning the toilet...fighting about sex, fighting about money.

Always fighting about money.

I remember it well from some former life.

A friend told me a story about a woman who employs her spouse as a personal assistant. Apparently it's not unheard of in this city. The fellow drives her to work, keeps her schedule current, and interfaces with tradesmen and other hired people. He is not allowed to make any decisions...all of that goes through her.

To me this is a much more interesting situation for feminist analysis than who is doing the dishes. It speaks to the commodification of marriage, and the idea that gender equality is unstable...and cannot be sustained.

I was never in the military, but my dad was a veteran. When I was about thirty my life was not going that well financially, and I thought about signing up...

Basically you have to realize that the military is all about traveling to strange foreign lands, meeting exotic new people, and killing them.

and yet non-lesbians are attracted to her

is this ironic? or "ironic"?

In the global economy, all countries are not created equal. The US still has tremendous productivity and is the "only game in town" for many global investors.
