.: how to be me :.

it's out there somewhere

if you can manage to unearth it

this great hidden truth

that will make it all fall into place


become a mental acheologist

read everything you can find

nothing is too obscure

memorize it

live it

breathe it

the trivial becomes sacred

form your own religion


get bored.


find something else.


tangets are teachers

while looking up theories

on quantum physics

get sidetracked on vedic atsrology

leave everything you're doing

go to india for a year


what dish is yet untasted

what river is yet uncrossed

what song is yet unheard

seek them all out

try them once

experience is everything


feel it

with more depth

with greater intensity

the high is too high

the low is too low

the loss is death

the gain is rebirth

pity the unlucky masses

who will never know

the magic of your emotional alchemy


the greatest unhappiness

is flatness of feeling

boredom and sameness

you've been here for three months

this relationship is stale

disappear

let them wonder

call them in a month

from a gas station

just outside of atlantic city


find something untried

find a strange trip you haven't had

have it

before it's over

start planning the next one

buy a travel guide for quebec

while you're staying in vegas


excess is happiness

less is not more

and more is not enough

so have too much of it

if it feels good

do it twice

indulgence is a lost art


keep them guessing

push them away

see if they come back

repeat the test

until the results are certain


feel your mortality

pressing in behind you

know that this journey

will all end someday

so overpack for the trip

and throw away the map
