    Livejournal: The Parting Glass


    It's late, I'm drunk, sincere and above all nostalgic. I've just visited the still warm corpse of my myspace account (bless it), and it occurred to me that I should perhaps give this thing here the wistful pleasure of some form of valedictory. Fuck it. I'll almost certainly post in it intermittently, and accidentally, for I wouldn't like to guess how many years; but, yeah, her pomp is done, splendour past, etc. We had some good times, livejournal. Well, stoned times, but from this vantage point they're more or less the same thing. Paul, snuff, Plum and an ostrich's sense of optimism. It was all good.

    Livejournal was forsaken for I'm not certain what reason, but myspace, well, that's a happy story, really; it's been done away with for all but the most perfunctory of communications with people for whom it's more convenient than other means, by the simple fact that I have Pooka Delaval (just google it) to occupy my energies. That's not why I'm here though, to advertise Pooka Delaval, I mean. I'm here to say goodbye to livejournal or, more accurately, to say to anyone who I may have communicated with primarly via livejournal, or just primarily in the days when I used livejournal, "Hello. Say hello back. I daresay you know who you are , and this here LJ is still linked up to the same old e-mail address. I would make some attempt to reacquaint myself with you on a direct, personal level, but I'm too much a coward for that sort of thing. So, yes, hello, and it's probably about time for another (")".

    Bye, livejournal. I'll be back, though. Chances are.

    Viva Fidel!
    The Revolution won't die anytime soon.

    I was going to write words of my own on this matter. Then I found Fidel's words, and they sum up most of my thoughts fairly succinctly. Suffice it to say, in addition, that the "Miami Cubans", that's to say their American, largely Republican (now there's a surprise) descendants, quite frankly, and let's not beat around the bush here, repulse me; their skipping and dancing to the news that Fidel is gravely ill comes close to their parents' fat complacency, indeed comfort and, dare I say it, decadence, in the face of excruciating poverty in pre-Revolution Cuba. In the ugliness stakes that is.

    Extract of a letter from Fidel Castro read on state television by Carlos Valenciaga, his secretary:

    Days and nights of continuous work with hardly any sleep have caused my health, which has withstood all tests, to fall victim to extreme stress and to be ruined.

    This has caused an acute intestinal crisis with sustained bleeding that has obliged me to undergo a complicated surgical operation. The operation will force me to take several weeks of rest away from my duties.

    The 80th anniversary of my birthday, which thousands of people so generously agreed to celebrate next 13 August, I ask that it be postponed for 2 December of this year, the 50th anniversary of the landing of the Granma.

    I do not have the slightest doubt that our people and our revolution will fight to the last drop of blood to defend these and other ideas and measures that are necessary to safeguard this historic process.

    Imperialism will never be able to crush Cuba.

    The Battle of Ideas will continue.

    Long live the fatherland!

    Long live the revolution!

    Long live socialism!

    Always toward victory!

    Fidel Castro Ruz, Commander in Chief. First Secretary of the party and President of the Councils of State and of Ministers of the Republic of Cuba.

    He Emerged From the East
    For those of you already familiar with this charming nugget of information, please read to the end, and then heap scorn on Jack, who means well.

    The word 'aslan' is a fine word. You may well associate said word with a popular lion, famed for being somewhat like Jesus, only fair-haired, of a name similar in all but capitalisation. (That lion is called 'Aslan'. Smashing fellow, by all accounts). Well, your association of 'aslan' with 'Aslan' is well-founded, though you don't yet know it. See, the word 'aslan', or so my sources inform me, translates from the Turkish to 'lion'.

    To rephrase, my point of information is as follows;

    "Aslan is Turkish for lion."

    Happy Trails, and may your next point of information also be a translation from the Turkish Tongue (Tongue of Turkishes).

    Regards and Peaches,

    Jack.

    sick on my very own and very special figurative passenger train will take me. It won't. But it may do. I'm actually fairly well. The cigarette is lit. Tomorrow, Patrick is looking for breasts. Paul is hopping. Oops. P.S. I Want Some Drugs, for the People's Friend (Plum's genius idea). Should pay for, well, Stuff, and be Fun at the re-emergence/of/spaces. Tomorrow I will be required to supervise on Friday. Unless the computer attempts to devour me. But it ended. Truly the end of an era, if not my life. Tomorrow this particular house will again see the last person

    My LiveJournal Sitcom
    Visiting sloopjackb (WB, 4:30): sloopjackb (Jon Favreau) invents a new kind of ice cream cone and gets gimblequick (Bob Hoskins) to sell it. In the next town over, nostalgia_lj (Shirley MacLaine) accidentally scratches wirawarmi (Courteney Cox)'s favorite pear. Afterwards, rachaelthorp (Tina Majorino)'s office's air conditioning is broken, and strengthofmind (Keifer Sutherland) shows up to fix it. Meanwhile, coracaskia (David Duchovny) thinks professorplum (Mickey Rooney) is a Martian. Later, mercurydust (Cyndi Lauper) cleans ispahan (Randy Travis)'s apartment and ruins the peach. Hilarious results follow.

    "Wire in the Blood"
    "Robson Green and Hermione Norris return as Dr Tony Hill and DI Carol Jordan in a new series of thrillers inspired by the novels of Val McDermid. Produced by Coastal Productions for ITV1, the new series is due for broadcast primetime in January 2004."

    Finally.

    One of the episodes, don't know which one yet, co-stars Jack Haddad. Unless they've cut him. They may well have done. It's not inconceivable. The potential bastards. I got my money. That was nice.

    My Goose is back from sunny Italy, where there are insects. I'm indeed pleased. Adam's birthday is tomorrow, or at least his party is, though I do believe it is his birthday, I think. There may be a renaissance of Jack yet. I painted something most cosmic this evening. It's fairly dark and, if I do say so myself, far out. I could use some weed, though. Sigh. But then that's because I'm a fiend. Nuthing major. Jessica has a puppy. Dr Byrds and Mr Hyde is (and I don't use this word freely) grievouslyunderrated country/acid/space rock classic - yes - classic. I dig it. And the songs from 'Candy' are both far out.

    Current Mood: good

    Update
    I just drew the Silver Bird, which was a Dragon All Along. I had tequila at the Salsa Club this evening. As did Paul. The people there can easily be replaced, as they are insignificant. I don't have any diseases. I'm alright. And I believe in various pagan gods, after a fashion. I had chips again today. I am psychic.

    Life's a curse, but that doesn't really matter. I'll go soon and skin up. Then life won't seem to be a curse, and it still won't matter. It may matter that bit less. Which would be a bonus of sorts. I have another month to waste, and then I'll see where my very own and very special figurative passenger train will take me. It should all be tremendous fun. I may post later with updates on my very own and very special philosophy.
