In the most lethal of the two crashes, seven American servicemen and three agents with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration died when their Chinook twin-rotor helicopter crashed in western Afghanistan after a firefight with Taliban insurgents. Twenty-six people were injured: 11 American servicemen, one American civilian and 14 Afghan soldiers.
The crash followed a gun battle with...

CERAUNOSCOPY* by Danny Sherrard.
When I was struck with lightning my eyes saw my veins radiate like the white coils of neon signs.
When I came back to consciousness the first thing I heard was a woman screaming and asking if I was okay. She said she had seen my bones. I smelled of burnt hair because my eyelashes eyebrows and chest hair had been singed, as well as the hair on my arms and legs. I...

waking life
Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009.
Pisces loves to dream and, why not, when your dream life is often much more perfect then reality. Hiding in your dream world is a good way to protect yourself, but it also has a price. Unless you are very vigilant you’ll begin to put too much time into your dream life and neglect the real one.

psychotherapy:
If Ben Franklin had been able to live by his own advice, he might have been even healthier, wealthier and wiser. But he was a notorious insomniac, rumored to have been such a poor sleeper that he required two beds so he could always crawl into one with cool sheets when he couldn’t sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep turned out to be more difficult than taming lightning, heating...

I'm higher than high, lower than deep.
Tonight I’m supposed to be writing some critique on queer theory, I’m leading discussion in my honors class tomorrow, but I accidentally let Kristine get me drunk on her Spanish wine and then I went to smoke with the neighbor boy who has now thoroughly distracted my thoughts, and now it’s close to midnight, and I’m trying to caffeinate and get through this shit, but I just...

People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems fixed. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.

On obama's peace prize.
dearcoketalk:
So: Obama and the Nobel Peace Prize award. Any thoughts?
In the delicate language of international diplomacy, Sweden basically said to Obama, “Go ahead. End a war, motherfucker. We double-dog dare you.”
Thing is, I totally think Obama will step up and make the peace prize his bitch. He’s got a buffet of ridiculous wars that he could stop just by laying his dick on the table.
I...

I am bigger than I ever thought. In this room I expand, I fill every inch of it. It is wide with great open spaces, great expanses of wall I’ve tried to fill with disjointed art. I’ve made this place a collage of things that I think look a little bit like me, but they have left so much space still there, and my body swells and covers it all completely. All at once I can see every inch...

restless
I like this light. With the sun tucked past the west sides of buildings, floating somewhere over the bay, over the back of the San Francisco skyline. This half-light that is brighter than the daytime, the sky smeared with an inky tint that hints at night, the tips of leaves lit up with the fire of the sun’s final struggle over the ocean. Everything burning, with a winded knowing that it is...

life is looking up
A shopping list I found in the gold couch: black tea, pumpkin, sugar.
Tonight I drive six hours south, will return backward in two days. I’m high on adderrall and benedryl, which is undoubtedly a recipe for disaster.
