Sharp feels good

July 16, 2008

For weeks I’ve walked around with hooks in my throat fishing for something inside my guts, making little nicks and tears in the tissue. I’ve felt a little dead and a little neutral. Heavy dry intellectual bore, balloonhead with sand, oil heart, chlorine lungs and cyanide smiles (when I could smile). I’ve shuffled awkwardly in my skin like I’m waiting in a line for something bad. I’ve invented new curses to hurl at the world, and thrown rocks and threats and cider glasses, papers, moonbeams, cat scratches, happiness and handmade pictures of Paris trying to knock the kilter little planet from the fishing wire that hangs it from the sky. I threw everything but my despair because I’m a dumb fuck.

And now I feel good. Warm, lyrical, light.

    Maybe you had a cold :-) I never liked whiskey, I liked alcohol you could see right through, vodka, lost, sweating in ice. Nice way to spend an evening alone because we all know sex sucks drunk.

    I have a spiritual attraction to dark liquor: whiskey, rye, spiced rum. It embodies a certain quality that I associate with wisdom – perhaps it’s the wisdom of how much to drink of it, too much and you’ve got a bad thing coming.

    Drunken sex can be alright.

    I used to like vodka when I first began drinking… however, I find that it leaves me with a somewhat cheap thrill these days. I never drink it anymore, unless it’s bought for me or something.
    Whiskey is like an instantly warming old friend. There’s something about it so intimate… and it doesn’t even feel strong to me anymore. I never overdo it though.

    Impurities, impurities! Hence, vodka. But I’m outnumbered, apparently.

    Rum is the purest of the spirits. Rum is not naturally clear.
