. . .

i have got to stop wearing my heart on my sleeve.

fact:

sleep deprivation 

leads you to believe 

that you are funnier 

than you really are.

sense of humor.

GOD 




made me reasonably intelligent.

. . .

but he didn't give me any prudence.

i think it's so i can make Him laugh...

if wishes were fishes...

i wish that . . .

breasts were detachable.

life would be so much more comfortable...

hearts.

"love anything 

and your heart will be wrung and possibly 

broken.

if you want to make sure of keeping it intact 

you must give it to no one, 

not even an animal.

wrap it carefully round 


with hobbies and little luxuries; 

avoid all entanglements. 

lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.

but in that casket--


safe, 
dark, 
motionless, 
airless--

it will change. 

it will not be broken; 






it will become 




unbreakable,
impenetrable, 










irredeemable. 

to love is to be vulnerable."

日本への愛.

i spent three months of my life living and teaching in japan.

they were the shortest three months of my life.

but they were also the best three months of my life.

please...

do whatever you possibly can to help that beautiful country in their tremendous time of need.

donate... 

volunteer...

pray...

ANYTHING.

help the sun rise again

upon the land of the rising sun.

日本さん,


my prayers are with you.
