  • quite an ass kicking.

    today i should have been walking around in naot in 60-70 degree weather, praying with meaning after a year’s dry spell, running my hands over white stone and falling in love. instead i was walking around in naot in lesser weather; praying to a passport agency for a way out of here; beating my thumbs…

  • the plan

    friend: “20 years from now when your old and grey and living in Gush Katif you’ll describe your aliyah as the biggest anti-climax of your life.” lizrael process, part III:go to connecticut tomorrow for passport agency to get quickie passport.if i get that, and it’s before 10 30, off to the city for jewish agency…

  • round two

    So here’s the problem. You’ve been training for pain management since you were fourteen and learning how to express your feelings in new ways. Technological advances like razors and parker pen clips on the back of a yellow school bus. But you’ve graduated since then. Twice. You’ve moved on. You’re not angry, you’re not pained…

  • dont get all monica on me. too late.

    dream i had last night: so for some god weird ass reason, i was invited to bill clinton’s house to discuss conflict management or something… so i get there and we start meeting a few times a week. ok so he would be really casual in like shorts and a tennis shirt and wed sit…

  • life, dream, realization (2)

    it’s just that i haven’t felt not-invincible in the last coupla years until like a few hours ago.

  • life, dream, realization

    what if i got killed before i made it to israel? i never really thought or cared about this stuff but suddenly, i realized, i’m actually fulfilling something i chose to commit to, and if i didn’t make it, i’d have lived unrealized and that would just be so sad.
