Man, the last few weeks a kind of wierd experience was going on inside my head. I guess it started when I was feeling like I wanted to get back to activist type activity, which used to be kind of central to my life but dropped off a couple years ago.

I totally feel the first paragraph of your post. Kids always ask me why I don't go with them to Food Not Bombs, or join Amnesty or other clubs like that on campus. It's not that I don't believe in their causes, or think they're doing a good thing, it's that it all feels like a fucking chore. It's just something that I know that I don't want to do, and, as much as it would help other people, I'm not going to do things that myself is telling me not to do.

Jakie Poo, if you only knew what you writing/thinking this does to me. So many times have I seen you, remembering how pumped up we used to be about all the things we were young and had enough time to be involved in and care about.

i only understood flashes of that. there is this way in which the entire thing made a feeling in my head that i can relate to. like two steps to the left of seeing everything and having nothing to say about anything. sometimes it's hard to want to save a world that will put away the guy on the 10 foot unicycle http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/12/13/BAGGKAAQ791.DTL
i'm not politically active cause i can't find what level to work at. singing at old folks homes, registering voters, marching in the street, or chucking molotov cocktails? i don't think you have that problem though. your confusions and misgivings seem more lucid than most peoples certainties.
stower- big ups to dissing misguided commiseration.

jake, i want to go to berkeley so i can hang out with you more. that's the main reason. seriously.

brother man- i love you but you are talking a bunch of bullshit.
