On the last two weeks

Since my last entry the friend I had mentioned had come in. That is why I wasn't here for you last Sunday. We had a great time. A lot of good food and drink. We went to a concert and I lost my glasses in the pit. This is the second pair of glasses I have lost while hanging out with him. The other pair was the last time I hung out with him. We are two for two.

We spent most of our time drunk in North Chicago. Went to Boystown. Those boys put the gay in gay bar. The one we went to was not like the ones I am used to Nashville and elsewhere. There were no women. There was no drag. Just weiner. You could taste it in the drinks.

I was in charge of buying the tickets to the ball game on Sunday. I succeeded in buying tickets, but they were for Friday. I admit I am not perfect but this is a new one. Instead of drinking cheap beer at Wringley Field we mosied around the area. Disappointed surely, but I will be going back to attempt another game when my friend Sex-ray comes in in two weeks. She is buying the tickets this time.

On Parmenides

I read another book by Plato for this week. This is the first one I made a study out of. I used Standford's study guide. It went deep and I learned a great deal of modern Philosphy. On logic and the application of it. I probably dug too deep. It was pedantic. It is philosphy and it is Plato after all but even then I got more than I purchased in this case. On the positive I have a contemporary understanding of The Theory of Forms.

I usually go on about the substance of the book to you but this is one I am not ready to talk about. Which is a first. I guess I have just spent so much time on it that I would rather not speak on it. Or maybe it is that I am kinda disappointed in what I learned. When we killed god, maybe we killed philosphy too. I still have a lot of Plato to read and I think it will be good for me to use the study guides going forward. My next book is As I Lay Dying by Faulkner.

Givin

I wish I had more to talk to you about right now. This last week was full of anxiety and talking about it would hit too close to home. I like to talk to you as honestly as I can but this would be a line that might have repercussions. The first picture is on Lake Michigan. My friend and I needed a nap so we found a park and took a nap. The last picture is of Nashville. At one time I used to bulldoze sand into massive piles and here you can see the skyline on Downtown Nashville.
