I am sick, I have a cold. It is stifling my work and personal life. I noticed now more than before how emotionally unstable it can pull me. The mind and body are one thing, they're inexorably linked into one piece of flesh. We are flesh and flesh alone, this cold is more proof of that fact. Sometimes it seems easy to think that our conscious/the organ that creates it is not flesh/is not physical. This is the lie enforced by biology, this is the tendency that brings about the need for white-light and classic religions. The idea of "meta-physical", the idea of "god", etc. These are all inventions of the unadvanced mind of man, we are not used to consciousness, we are just starting to evolve with it, we are young. To share this form with everyone means pain. I am in pain. Mostly just with this damn cold though. ... Journal Entry Physical Anatomy

I dreamed that people browsing Google Maps satellite imagery located some sort of gigantic self-portrait of George W. Bush made out of raised sections of grass out on his ranch somewhere, G.W. visible from space. Then there was some kind of TV show playing and Al Gore was on it saying that this proves "Bush is an egotistical freak" or something to that effect. Later in the dream I'm on some alien desert planet. The people there seemed to be under Bush's rule and fighting against it. They were all afraid of dying from a small spider looking creature with several more than eight legs. They had this slightly raised tomb over the ground that took in light from the sun and transmitted light out of it much stronger than what went in. They said the light leaving the tomb was much stronger than "any optics could produce". I think they wanted to use it as a Weapon of Mass Destruction... As much as I like to stay away from political topics especially during this administration - my dream life is influneced by them yet.... Journal Entry Dreamtime Dream

So I'm here in Perth. Forgot how beautiful this part of the world is.. Lost a couple days with flying and crossing over time zones... Me and my brother Paul went out the first night we got here. Went to this huge bar near the river and near the University of Western Australia. The place was packed with hundreds of preppy college kids. I felt pretty damn out of place. Paul met some people and they took us to another club downtown... Fuckin' too much, some dress up cover band doing new school punk rock songs, it's funny all the kids here sing along to that shit.. Didn't do much yesterday, rested, shopped, ate, recovered from the drinking.. Dad has shown me all the places where he grew up, and where he wants to move to. Writing this from my dad's mom's house, good to see her, might not get the chance again.... Journal Entry West Aus Australia Trip 2003 Travel
