   <description>I&#39;m still alive. Depending on how you define it. 
I&#39;m still modeling but haven&#39;t had many new
pictures for my own self lately. 
I have a fish and a job and friends. My beautiful
sister has had her beautiful baby and they are
shrinking and growing relatively. 
I&#39;ve gotten thinner, older, and possibly more jaded
(if possible) and i still haven&#39;t figured out what
i&#39;m doing. 
so at least i&#39;m fairly average.

   <description>It was.
and thank gawds for that! No one is happier to see
the death of 2006. My new years resolution was
really and truly just to make sure the last year
ended. Hooray! I&#39;m my own hero... I&#39;ll go eat some
chocolate and stroke my ego. Hope all is well in
the worlds I can&#39;t contain. I do love a parade.
Have fun, leave comments... take over the world...
Ignore the fat creepy christian lady that comes up
under searches for my name... ha! my sites still on
top despite her ravenous postings or the boats
failed attempt to save tsunami victims... not that
anyone knows what I&#39;m talking about... meow purr

   <title>Those Who Dream by Day are Cognizant of many things which escape those who only dream by night</title>
   <pubDate>Thu, 24 Nov 2005 16:50:08 -0600</pubDate>
   <description>So I&#39;m in this nice house that feels strangely 
midwestern. Donna Reed is my mother, and i have a 
strange feeling I&#39;m waiting for our shows intro 
to finish rolling. There&#39;s a few missing elements 
in my minds eye as to how we got to where we were 
next, but essentially after receiving some 
abstract warnings, Donna Reed and I feel a 
pressing danger. I check out the window, and 
Surrounding us in a stonehedge-esque formation 
are thousands of normal looking nobodies with 
zombie-like movements and bluish glowing eyes. 
They are moving closer to our strangely shaped 
many roomed house. Donna isn&#39;t concerned, and I 
realize it is my duty to make sure we are not 
soulless corpses wandering between plains fur 
eternity. I search our premises. Every room has a 
vulnerable window, door, ceiling, or floor board 
and the zombie folks are nearing. Panicking, I 
tear Donna Reed from the old style radio 
announcing famine, plague and the end of the 
world (who announces that shit?) and drag her 
into the bathroom, the safest place I could find. 
The bathroom only allows for standing distance 
and has a large frosted sliding window at eye 
level. Panicking, we hide there for a moment, 
until we can see the silhouettes and nocturnal 
glow of our approaching doom. 
Most of these dreams of mine are fairly violent, 
involving detailed imaginings of what it would 
feel like to have one&#39;s kidney ripped out of 
one&#39;s chest by highly unsanitary zombie fingers. 
This one was a little nicer....
Donna and I are heaving our last free breaths 
when crash the window bursts through and the door 
frame gives way and thousands of hands are 
reaching in to get us. We scream and scream 
cacophonous and soul breaking, and one of the 
hands touches donna and I see her eyes fade, and 
then my wrist was grabbed and I&#39;m fading...
Semi-cognizant of my surreal soon to be zombie 
self, I notice the zombies are leading us to a 
space ship, there are others being led places, 
but Donna and I get some sort of preferential 
treatment. The scene is directly from Twilight 
Zone&#39;s &quot;To Serve Man&quot; and some how my dream self 
knows this. I writhe and panic in what must have 
seemed a terribly ethered-up Hunter S. Thompson 
way and Zombie guard like people come to quiet my 
disturbance. I know other captives are having it 
much worse, and I check on donna, who seems to be 
some sort of statue in another time, but still 
humanish. The guards are closer to me, ready to 
quiet things down when I go, &quot;Shit, I can&#39;t dream 
this anymore!&quot; and wake up sweating with images 
of black and white screen credits rolling through 
my mind. My dreams are too weird I think to 
myself, and grudgingly fall back asleep. 
I fall back asleep, and feel myself drifting 
through that heavy bl;ackness that leads to my 
dream world. When I come to in the netherland, 
I&#39;m at a dinner table on a fisherman&#39;s grotto-
esque restaurant dock in what I know to be pre-
katrina new orleans, though I&#39;ve never been. 
Donna is still my mom, and some strange Red Meat 
looking man with a pipe and hair that doesn&#39;t 
move is supposedly my father. I have an annoying 
little brother or sister which disappears quickly 
with no resolution or pertinence to my dream 
story. We are eating a dinner at a wooden table 
that smells like vinegar, surrounded by sports 
paraphanelia (can&#39;t spell), useless trophies, and 
autographed headshots of people u can guess never 
really ate there. Our waiter is an indescribable 
foreigner, I&#39;m thinking french? and comes to take 
our order. I don&#39;t think I ordered anything, and 
wandered off to explore. I make my way round 
wooden bends, and wharf corners to a bar where 
yuppies happily sit drinking cocktails, oblivious 
to the peril of being characters in my dreams. I 
wander past them, feeling stangely sorry for 
them, though I don&#39;t think I&#39;m aware I&#39;m dreaming 
yet. I follow some plaques and goofy pictures of 
dead minor leaguers to a door in the back of the 
restaurant. I open it onto a deck which was 
probably employees only. I wander to the edge of 
it, glad to be away from Donna and Yuppies and 
the strange french-like waiter. At the edge of 
the peir I look out at posts sticking out of the 
ocean water, evidence of a previously 
unsuccessful wharf diner? On one of the posts 
sits a figure, which I recognize as THE ENIGMA, 
the blue puzzle-tatooed human geek circus 
performer that eats anything he can fit in his 
mouth. He is ripping apart something while he 
perches on his post in the middle of the ocean. 
I&#39;ve always had a strange attraction to the 
Enigma, very strange... and I decide to swim out 
to meet him. U can tell I&#39;m dreaming here cause 
there&#39;s no way in hell u would get me into deep 
dark waters while I was conscious. So I swim out 
to meet him and while I&#39;m headed there, I sense 
things in the water with me. Something 
frightening and ancient. Treading water in a 
manner that attracts sharks, I watch as the 
enigma jumps in to eat whatever it was that just 
made me dream pissing my pants. Horrified, I 
watch a struggle in the water for a moment, as 
tattooed blue legs and something that could only 
be described as the prickles on the back of ur 
neck toss and fight and grope and howl in the 
water. Blood and black are spilling into the 
water, and the commotion has caused donna reed 
and the frenchly waiter and the yuppies to come 
out and check. I&#39;m scrambling back to the dock 
when a final crunch makes me reel around to see 
the spinal cord, upper torso, slightly exposed 
rib cage, and just after, a sole leg come 
floating towards me. Each of these dismembered 
members were tattooed with blue puzzle peices. 
The heart is beating in the torso. 1-2-3- and 
stop. I grab on to the torso and use it to float 
to the deck in a panic, but whatever had caused 
the damage was not yet interested in me and I 
make it via human wreckage to the restaurant. I 
get up on the dock again and Donna Reed is asking 
me what happened. SHe looks like an angel, like 
that part in &quot;it&#39;s a wonderful Life&quot; where the 
camera gets all vaselined and there&#39;s a close up 
of her face, and Stewart comes in all bedraggled 
after saving the Building &amp; Loan and Donna looks 
at her new husband and says, &quot;Welcome Home Mr. 
Bailey.&quot; and it&#39;s the most beautiful tear-
wrenching face and gesture that could ever be 
imagined in a movie... That donna reed was 
looking at me as I&#39;m covered in blood and bile 
and panting on a quakey dock for my soul, that 
Donna is asking me &quot;R u okay?&quot; I try to tell her, 
but noone believes me that the enigma is dead, 
even with the evidence of his very corpse. They 
try to convince me there is nothing wrong, the 
french waiter taking leadership, and that we 
should all go back to our rackety unprotected 
cabins and rest for tomorrow&#39;s entertainment. 
(This is longer in writing than the dream seemed, 
but I think it&#39;s fairly accurate...) Anyhow, I&#39;m 
starting in reality to wake up now, and the rest 
came in fitful peices, myself wandering the docks 
under the moonlight, chefs capturing me, some 
strange sea monkish like cult discovered below 
the docks that had to do with the blue eyed 
zombies from the first dream... This was all alot 
like that movie that left me puking and horrified 
fur about a month a few years back... It&#39;s not 
called Leviathan but it&#39;s something like it. I 
think it&#39;s Lovecraft but I&#39;m not sure. Since I 
recognize the movie bits in my half twilight 
dream sleep, and know I&#39;m coming out of the dream 
I switch it around, in that semi lucid state and 
away from the inevitable next scene of a fat man 
being skinned alive and back into a fading 
twilight zone-esque eerie but non-violent ending. 
There was something about having my own FBI team, 
and us discovering and slaughtering the wrong-do-
ers. A much better note to awake to on this grand 
thanksgiving day. Shove that in ur pipe and smoke 
it, Freud. </description>

   <title>Cabaret Girls</title>
   <pubDate>Thu, 09 Jun 2005 18:18:21 -0500</pubDate>
   <description>Our cabaret was a success. There were millions of 
beautiful girls and boys running around naked, 
painted, dressed up, zoot suit, swinger, lounge 
fucking incredible! I am most impressed by my 
community of friends. Constantly. I want to set 
up 
a website for these lovely people. A Cabaret 
troupe site that can sell pics, have model 
information for participants, passwords, a 
gallery, and whose basic purpose is to allow the 
models I&#39;ve started and that want to be started 
and that have started, to have a network 
community 
within our community. That way, we can all be 
sharing modeling jobs, we can be rented out to 
other parties for performances, and basically 
have 
a self sufficient system. If you can help with 
this design, or feel like u would like to 
participate in these proceedings, please contact 
me at mercycat@spaz.org</description>
