!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PARTY FOR JP!!!!!!!!!

ALl has gone well for our jp, and I think after this week she deserves a party.
I'll let her fill y'all in on any details, but things are good.
And it's Friday, too. So we all deserve a party.

THere's no durian and the barbacoa is cold, but surely we can find something to munch. Let's have a hot tub party. We haven't had one of those in years.
I'm feeling thongy.
True story. I went to Home Depot and was talking to the guy in floors and somehow I said something about being too old to do it myself, and he said how old are you and I laughed and said, 49(so I lied by a year or two- sue me) and HE said, I kid you not. "Well, I hope you don't take this wrong, but you have a great ass to be 49.."

I died. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to lave his toes. I wanted to buy every floor he had. Then I got in the car and thought- well hang on- good for 49 means just what exactly?
But I will shrug off the doubts, put on a new thong and leap into the hot tub.
jp wants champagne. And beer.
Both.

Hmmm... "god-like force" dreams.... Nah... don't think I've ever had that kind of force... Possibly the occasional god-like farce dreams, but maybe I'd better not get into that... Do have dreams where I can fly just by tilting my hands at different angles while holding my arms out to the sides. I fly fast and high as long as I'm concentrating well, but if I get distracted, I start to drop down out of the sky and slow down until my toes are dragging along on the ground... and that's a pretty sad feeling. I tend to lose my concentration and altitude when someone is shooting at me... Perhaps this is some kind of reflection on how well I handle negative criticism... (-:

Let's see, back to work here... regarding Trajan's column... but not meaning to sound like some Know-It-All-Croc, but more like a Know-Nothing-Croc. Yep...I believe it's about 100 feet tall. Seems a bit dumb to look at now, but it used to have a couple of library buildings next to it and I guess you could read it from various levels... Probably saved the important stuff for the top so that it wouldn't get chiselled off by some vandal.. Wouldn't want someone to bust Trajan off of his horse or something.

Now, regarding creating that totem of order... a summation of life. I tried to work with the 5 that you provided, but ended up adding more... Made the most mysterious on top... kind of like a Haida totem pole with a raven on the top.

universe
nature
dreams
death
thought
birth
sex
sleep

Anyone else care to try?
