Dub w/soul patch?
by La Capra ini was at the gym this morning, pouring myself a cup of coffee and i noticed a sweaty man sitting at a table reading what looked like the small version of the maroon deluxe nwt (the one made out of pig leather that were all the rage in the early 90's before the "donation arrangement").
(for anyone who cares, he was in revelation.
) it also appeared that he had a colorful tract or magazine and the daily text book (are those spiral bound now?

This is so huge.
by La Capra inwhen i was four, i believed that my life could be painfully and tortuously taken from me, in a ball of flame, crashing down from the heavens, just while i sitting down to a bowl of oatmeal in the morning.. when i was nine, i believed that my life, as i then knew it, would be drastically altered, that i would be tortured for being a jw, and after suffering for who knows how long, i would die (because i still hadn't lived up to jehovah's expectations).. when i was 13, i wanted to be a nuclear physicist-because it sounded cool, but in the meantime i believed that i would die in armageddon because i wanted to go to college, get really educated, and have a great, "worldly" life.. when i was 15, i felt guilty that i hoped armageddon would never come, because i so desperately wanted to go to college.. when i was 17, i was offered an honors early admissions in a prestigious program in a highly regarded engineering program.
my mother flat out said, "no!".
when i was 18, i scuttled semi-secretly to the local university, part-time, trying to hide my daily activities without actually lying to anyone.. when i was 19 i quit pretending and disassociated.

Told Mom it would be immoral to go tonight
by La Capra inyeah, i did.. i called her this afternoon, after i got home from work (to check on my dad, and, well, you know...).
it turns out she picked up the nasty flu: fever, chills, scratchy throat, snot everywhere, sensitive eyes, she sounds like grover.. i gave her all the advice she usually gives me, including her favorite (and one that often kept me home from meetings in my youth), "stay out of the night air for a few weeks...".
to which she responded, "but i have to go out tonight.

And Poof-It Was Gone
by La Capra infunny thing happened during my first year of law school.
i developed a little bump on my left wrist about this time of year-while i was preparing for my first round of exams.
it was not painful and i attributed it to the keyboard on my ibook (on which i could type fast-as-lightening) and the queen-sized blanket i had knitted the previous spring (which in and of itself prompted an epiphany that i probably could be doing something more productive with my time than knitting-like get a doctorate).. my bump accompanied me through my first, second and third year of law school, and into the final and fourth year.
