Facebook

So I'm on facebook. I'm conflicted about it. It seems so self important, it brings out the narcissism in a lot of us, and there is alot of that going around in society.
So I thought I would at least put a spin on it.
I searched for Paul caballero's. Turns out there are a lot of them. I'm curios so I friend one in Columbia. He speaks only Spanish. I. Get updates from him I can't understand. I should but I don't. Funny.
I friend another one in new York. He's ok but a little quiet. I pick up one on no cal and another one I texas. 
Interesting to think my other selves living my other lives.
So I check facebook occasionally and one night the Texas me posts three messages in about ten minutes... Crazy shit. Oh fuck! Texas me is a born again Christian! He's posting bible quotes and Sunday school stuff. 
He freaks me out but I decide not to dump him. He is afterall my sort of brother and I have sides of me I don't like but I still keep on going.
Wacky Christian me is quiet a lot but every week or so blasts facebook with manic posts about god and the plan and bible quotes.
Weird.
I don't know where it comes from but I feel connected to all of it.
I'm not changing my course but it's funny when Christian me goes off and I think... What the hell am I talking about?
Colombian me speaks only Spanish and I can't understand and Christian me speaks English and I can't understand. Nice!

hot

Came home the other day. My house was an oven. Heat coming from the floor it was so hot..but Vin Scully on the radio, Dodgers on the TV. Beat the Giants and everything is right.
I dragged myself into the new year. The birthday trip was good but not as exotic as I'm accustomed and the weather has been grey. Things seemed to be in neutral but now we are in the nineties. Dodger beat the giants two in a row and I went to park. Dodgers win, I got to stand in center field and watch fireworks.
Things are good.
Not perfect but when are things perfect really. Enjoy the moments when they come.
