Daily Dunn #2: From The Manifesto Of The Selfish
From The Manifesto of The Selfish
Because altruists are the least sexy people on earth, unable to say “I want” without embarrassment, we need to take from them everything they give, then ask for more, this is how to excite them, and because it’s exciting to see them the least bit excited once again we’ll be doing something for ourselves, who have no problem taking...

No man has ever dared to describe himself as he truly is.—Camus
I like things my way every chance I get. A limit doesn’t exist when it comes to that. But please, don’t confuse what I say with honesty. Isn’t honesty the open yawn the unimaginable love more than truth? Anonymous among strangers I look for those with hidden wings, and for scars that those who...

First we had “redistribution of wealth” and now we’ll have “redistribution of health”. OMG SHE IS RIGHT SHE ALSO SAYS WE’LL HAVE “REDISTRIBUTION OF DEALTH”. THAT IS OF COURSE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SUBTRACT “WEALTH” FROM “HEALTH”.
Conversation from last night
Me: She's pretty cute, don't you think?
Kevin: Well, it's not like she's Lucy Liu or anything.
Me: Lucy Liu, Kevin? What year is this?....She's not even Asian.

Daily Dunn: Landscape At The End Of The Century
Landscape at the End of the Century The sky in the trees, the trees mixed up with what’s left of heaven, nearby a patch of daffodils rooted down where dirt and stones comprise a kind of night, unmetaphysical, cool as a skeptic’s final sentence. What this scene needs is a nude absentmindedly sunning herself on a large rock, thinks the man fed up with nature, or perhaps a lost...
I was wrong. Kevin is awesome. Patron helps.
speaking of the gym
ninjapants:
Once, walking to my gym’s front doors, I heard someone behind me clear their throat.
I turned around, and it was a dude in a wheelchair. He had tiny legs but a huge neck, chest, and arms. Apparently I was walking too slow for him. But, because I can be an asshole if provoked, and he was undoubtedly challenging the ability of my fully functional, walking legs, I slowed down a...

Todd And Sarah Palin To Divorce
This seems like complete rumor, gossip, and conjecture (I mean, the fucking article cites the National Inquirer for Christ’s sake), but at any rate, here it is:
AlaskaReport has learned this morning that Todd Palin and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin are to divorce. Multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage have confirmed the news.

Daily Dunn: Between Angels
Between angels, on this earth absurdly between angels, I try to navigate in the bluesy middle ground of desire and withdrawal, in the industrial air, among the bittersweet efforts of people to connect, make sense, endure. The angels out there, what are they? Old helpers, half-believed, or dazzling better selves, imagined, that I turn away from as if I preferred all the ordinary,...
You've Got Hate Mail!
hman:
Hah, so remember a couple of months ago, this group called the National Organization for Marriage came out with this terrifying ad of sullen people from all walks of life, direly warning us about the “Gathering Storm” that awaits us should gay people get married in this godforsaken (kidding! love you USA!) nation?
At the time, I went to their website’s comment section, told them I was...
