Dear michelle,
What exactly is rageaholism?  I think I get angry too much about things that are inconsequential.  Like yesterday I wanted to punch someone to death because they were standing too close to me on the subway.  What do I do?  Quietly counting to ten doesn’t work.  I’m afraid I’m going to have a rage-related heart attack and die young.

It’s easier to think you are angry at that lady standing too close to you than to acknowledge that you are just really upset about personal shit that you can’t control.  However, I am the same way.  People should really stand further away on the train, this isn’t fucking China.  I suggest you start drinking more.  It’ll relax you, and then you can always blame yr rage on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol.

Feelin' on yr butt - what?

I started keeping track of my “Dream” encounters in the summer of 2007, which was of course the summer Paps and I started recording stuff together (back then I couldn’t even touch GarageBand we used Quicktime) and the summer I renounced my future career in medicine/medical sociology for more artistic pursuits (Peter Pan). I noticed this wall on my walk between our apartments–

Do Not Fall in Love
