pear rot

i just used the soap in the bathroom downstairs (someone was in the middle of a monster dump in mine). in the soft soap dispenser was a plastic parrot, attached to the plastic pump.

a dialogue:

- wouldn't it be crazy if when we talked words came out of our mouths? we'd be sitting on piles of words.

- we kinda are.

this was followed by a reflection of how poetic that exchange was. which started a conversation about dawson's creek.

"Were you thinking about Laura Dern earlier?"
"Yeah."

my first line of stand up

it took me a really long time to get into stand up. it's kind of an awkward thing. but i'm starting to feel comfortable in my own skin, which is good, because wearing other people's was starting to get itchy.

ha? ha.

the same essay, babelfished.

People who take the train and by reading the Bible which asked to me whether I believe in a God. People who feel abandoned by God, their family, all. People who attend the mass, which is Jewish, which attends the mosque. The others which request late in the night when the house makes unknown and suspicieux noises. Who think of being notched or, worse, being assassinated. People who sleep without thinking of a deity people who are atheistic. People who are saved, people who are given up, people who give up themselves by losing the hope in oneself. People who open the Christmas presents which are moved by a diamond ring, the others which are désappointés by the socks, those with the small ballerinas. People who marry, people who divorce and people who are confined a baby. People who save the others with their existence. People who type on the computer interest in the correct words to describe their world and what they see. People who cannot find these words and which cease including/understanding the exercise, people who find these words but which cannot put them in order. People who do not know how to represent their emotions, people which know it, but which does not want to be tended. People who complain because of their duties, which think that they would never finish them because they need to attend the meetings, to make the posters for the rallying, to call their parents, supplementing a form so that they can travel to Africa to help the victims of HIV. Who have the need to save the world with their education of Yale. People who complain because of the faintness, which do not know how to save the world and which fight with the intention to do a work which only profits itself, which feels obliged to find another trade. Who know that a trade as is used to dissimulate the remorse which they test. People who want only to earn money to buy a beautiful house, a sports car, and a woman who will be a trophy. Who will be incomplete. People who fall into the traps which are dark by the company. People who are against the statutory value, which is anarchistic, which carries out the signs who say the sentences which intend to force the reader to doubt the goal of its life. People who hate "the man". The men who hate the women. People who roll without knowing from where they come. People who envisage, which leaves steps in dust. People who leave the way to be discovered and those which never find it. People who think only of the insufficiency. People who are the geniuses, ordinary people, and people who can remember all the countries of the world in two minutes. People who trott and take pleasure with the landscape because they know that they have all which one wants in the life, that they like their family, that they are surrounded by goods people. People who face the life which refuses to be excluded from the company, which takes their place. People who know how to be integrated into a new situation, which is not afraid to change. People who are never bored when it acts of training. Who attend university like Yale. People who are in the generation intended to change the world with his education, which feels the pressure which surrounds us. Who do not know how to make and who need to find a means. People like you and me.

french essay

Les gens qui prennent le train et en lisant la Bible qui m’a demandé si je crois en Dieu. Les gens qui se sentent abandonnés par Dieu, par leur famille, par tous. Les gens qui assistent à la messe, qui sont juifs, qui assistent à la mosquée. Les autres qui prient tard dans la nuit quand la maison fait des bruits inconnus et suspicieux. Qui pensent à être grugé ou, pire, assassiné. Les gens qui dorment sans penser à une déité les gens qui sont athées. Les gens qui sont sauvés, les gens qui sont abandonnés, les gens qui s’abandonnent en perdant l’espoir en soi-même. Les gens qui ouvrent les cadeaux de Noël qui sont émus par une bague en diamant, les autres qui sont désappointés par les chaussettes, celles-ci avec les petites ballerines. Les gens qui se marient, les gens qui divorcent et les gens qui accouchent un bébé. Les gens qui sauvent les autres avec leur existence.
Les gens qui tapent sur l’ordinateur s’intéressent aux mots corrects pour décrire leur monde et ce qu’ils voient. Les gens qui ne peuvent pas trouver ces mots et qui cessent de comprendre l’exercice, les gens qui trouvent ces mots mais qui ne peuvent pas les mettre en ordre. Les gens qui ne savent pas comment représenter leurs émotions, les gens qui le savent, mais qui ne veulent pas être tendus. Les gens qui se plaignent à cause de leurs devoirs, qui pensent qu’ils ne les finiraient jamais parce qu’ils ont besoin d’assister aux réunions, faire les affiches pour le ralliement, appeler leurs parents, compléter un formulaire pour qu’ils puissent voyager en Afrique pour aider les victimes d’HIV. Qui ont le besoin de sauver le monde avec leur éducation de Yale. Les gens qui se plaignent à cause de la malaise, qui ne savent pas comment sauver le monde et qui luttent avec l’intention de faire un travail qui bénéficie lui-même seulement, qui se sentent obligés de trouver un autre métier. Qui savent qu’un métier comme se sert à dissimuler le remords qu’ils éprouvent. Les gens qui ne veulent que gagner de l’argent pour acheter une belle maison, une voiture de sport, et une femme qui sera un trophée. Qui seront incomplets.
Les gens qui tombent dans les pièges qui sont foncés par la société. Les gens qui sont contre la valeur sociale, qui sont anarchistes, qui exécutent les enseignes qui disent les phrases qui ont l’intention de forcer le lecteur à douter le but de son vie. Les gens qui détestent « l’homme ». Les hommes qui détestent les femmes. Les gens qui roulent sans savoir d’où ils viennent. Les gens qui prévoient, qui laissent des pas dans la poussière. Les gens qui quittent le chemin pour se découvrir et ceux qui ne le trouvent jamais. Les gens qui ne pensent qu’à l’insuffisance. Les gens qui sont les génies, les gens ordinaires, et les gens qui peuvent se rappeler tous les pays du monde en deux minutes. Les gens qui se baladent et prennent plaisir au paysage parce qu’ils savent qu’ils ont tout ce dont on veut dans la vie, qu’ils aiment leur famille, qu’ils sont entourés par les gens biens. Les gens qui font face à la vie qui refusent d’être exclus de la société, qui prennent leur place. Les gens qui savent comment s’intégrer à une nouvelle situation, qui n’ont pas peur de changer.
Les gens qui ne s’ennuient jamais quand il s’agit d’apprentissage. Qui fréquentent université comme Yale. Les gens qui sont dans la génération destinée à changer le monde avec son éducation, qui se sentent la pression qui nous entoure. Qui ne savent pas comment faire et qui ont besoin de trouver un moyen. Les gens comme vous et moi.
