ah bryce

[asphalteden]

haha is that yr van

[lostcosmonaut]

that is exactly what we bargained for

!--mza.

leave the world!

[asphalteden]

If I'd a van like that, I'd have been gone long ago, and none would ever have heard of me.

you gave me an idea

[lostcosmonaut]

what if I go + just don't come back? Do they have th Internet everywhere

--mza.

last person to leave, pls turn out sun

[asphalteden]

Trouble with me is that I keep finding things I want to return to.

You know, I found one of my ex-girlfriends from AGES ago on YouTube. I have no bravery to say hello, but the feeling from seeing ghosts like that is very like the weightlessness of taking off in the van/spaceship with no hope of ever landing back here again. Didn't help that she got prettier.

i did not mean it

[asphalteden]

I should say "even prettier than before," should she somehow read this missive.

addicted to not dying

[lostcosmonaut]

i think I keep returning for th new issue of Love & Rockets

OK and mebbe some people

12 people

th rest are paste, said Mark E. Smith

and I think you and I know what he means

--mza.

some folks a bad penny

[asphalteden]

Mark E. Smith-always seen with pretty gals, probably because he knows a thing or two, I guess.

I suppose there are so many folks made of paste since there are so many folks out there trying hard to convince others that they are jewels. I think I'd be happy to be an apple, or something like that, but, you know, I guess I spent plenty of years as paste, myself, so what can I say.

Do you have a posse for your roadtrip or is this a solo flight around the atmosphere a la kthor.

glue factory

"we're stuck w/ eachother" haha

My roadposse are three people I met through el jay, one of whom ah actually haven't met in person @ all, but that is always th way these days. No one you "know", though. I'm going to try to make some kind of documentary if they let me.--mza.

[asphalteden]

Like, if you had a movie about your trip, and there was that whole crazy episodic thing going on like, oh, Easy Rider, or something like that, I always imagine you guys would have all of these insane and uncomfortable adventures picking up psychos on the road, and tripping on the roof of the van with some prostitutes and scientists you met along the way. Then you could stop at my house for a few hours and everything would be really quiet and peaceful and psychedelic in that 1970s foliage everywhere way, and you'd be pulling out of my driveway saying, "What the hell just happened...?"

might be like an episode of kung fu

[lostcosmonaut]

hoo haw ah have no idea how this trip will be; several of us are interested in churches. One doesn't really like drinking. One has been sort of bummed out/emotional recently. One just had a chapbook of poems published. Two just quit their jobs. One is taking sailing lessons. I wish we could stop by Chez Eden and experience yr foliage (not meant in a sexual way).--mza.

loll in the convo

[romolio]

I've been spending more time in the sun. Also, I should get credit for quitting my job, as I've had almost as many work calls for my wanderin' daze as I've had in the past 6 MOs, hoz

-Roze

a minty flavor, the pasted had

[asphalteden]

Ha ha ha, maybe we both don't know what he means in the same way. I thought "paste"!!! See meaning 3! I learned that from de Maupassant.

paste make waste

[lostcosmonaut]

in keeping w/ yr modus operandi, you picked th gayest possible meaning

--mza.
