"To devote yourself to the creation and enjoyment of beauty, then, can be a serious business - not always necessarily a means of escaping reality, but sometimes a means of holding on to the real when everything else is flaking away into . . . rhetoric and plot" (114-115).

sometimes i usually wish you would give these things more context or personal reflection or etc.

you are right about homeboy's art in the following post.

one of my least favorite people in the world is talking acroooooooosssss the computer lab to his boss about how much he loves some firefox extension or something. disgusting behavior abound.

what do you know about UNO? i've been thinking about its mfa program and know you're somewhere down around there and figured you or your circles might know something about it.

context is for jerks. i don't have any personal reflection; i never 'personally reflect'

i just want to capture him & keep him in my basement, have him paint weird donnie darko soul art on demand

i am my least favorite person in the world right now, or close to it (please see first paragraph)

UNO - I live in NJ. Did you mean New Orleans? Omaha, Nebraska? I hope I'm not missing something obvious here. I didn't make the obvious joke, so I hope you appreciate that. I will try to be as helpful as possible with further clarification, I just spent a disproportionately long time trying to remember your name, & all I can think of is Steven, Peter, Chris, which aren't right but are hedging around it - GREG

Yeah, New Orleans. I thought you lived there? Am I mistaking one crazy summer and its resultant facebook photos for a life decision? I thought you lived there isn't an actual question? and i always picture the obvious joke's logo in my head when i talk to people about the school, so it would've been okay.

and then in reverse order:

:/ what about impersonally or transpersonally.
