i dont have any more room for sentimental value.

the following are things i found in an assortment of boxes containing memories from my past...

A TYPED NOTE I FOUND:
jordan and i were sitting outside of a house very near my old higschool. avril lavigne walks out of the front door of that very house wearing a tee shirt and a pair of what appeared to be small boys underwear. the kind with like, the ninja turtes on them or something. at any rate, she walks towards us, but then suddenly turns away from us on the sidewalk, to walk in the direction opposte of us. she then unbelieveably pulls her underwear down about halfway, and gives us kind of a half moon. well, dumbfounded, jordan and i sit for what seemed like an hour just trying to make sense of what happened. then i stand up and say "im going after her."
jordan, the ponce, says, "ask her if she wants me at all. if she says like 5%, then it really is avril lavigne." i call him a faggot, and be on my way. i yell back to jordan, "it cant be her." i catch up with the girl halfway down the block, and i get up along side her, and it is not avril lavigne. i introduce myself anyways, and she says the she does in fact know jordan noe, and that her name is magic.

magic marker. end dream.

FROM THE EDGE, AN OREGONIAN COLUMN:

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 720 AM
large plastic price sign numbers were stolen from an alliance road gas station. two 3s, one 2, one zero and three 9/10s now adorn the lair of a digit ripper, as does the warm glow of accomplishment.

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1229 PM
a man was assaulted from behind in what was described as an unprovoked attack at ninth and H streets. a struggle ensued, falling far short of cinematic depictions of manly conflict, which generally involve heroic posturing, elegant choreography, well aimed blows and a clear victor and vanquished. in reality, there was alot of inconclusive grappling, grasping at clothing with heads down, garbled curses and swift encirclement by blue uniforms. a suspect was jailed, no one got the girl and civilization continues to be doomed by powerful evildoers.

SUNDAY, APRIL 14 1148 am
on F street, someone was grumbling, of laundromat lingerers bumbling, and hanging about they said theyd get out, as soon as their clothes were done tumbling.

TUESDAY, APRIL 16th 201 pm
if what police say is true, a young man attempted to take something from an I street cooperative supermarket that didnt even belong to him. it gets worse. evidently the lad has taken a very wrong turn and begun experimenting with marijuana. right here. in our town.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1119am
a valley east tune-loving dude, did not moderate amplitude. the neighbors awakened from walls that were shakin', called cops, who restored quietude.

- from the police log of The Arcata Eye. america's most popular obscure small town newspaper.

A HOROSCOPE from years ago:
if dec 16 is your birthday you are sensitive to a degree of being "psychic". your mother was independant and aggressive. your father was more placid. prepare next year for possible a romance on the high seas. during january you will make a significnt domestic adjustment; this relates to lifetyle or marital status.

A CARD FROM MY MOTHER:
my son - i am sorry you are going thru some difficult times right now. being 18 years old sometimes is not much fun. your half kid, half young man. decisions you make effect your life - home life, work, fun and relationships with others as well as family. please know that i love you unconditionally. i always have an open heart - and open ear to all you need to say or talk about. i am not perfect - but i do try to help, encourage, listen and advise. please talk to me - ill listen. please know that there is always time for you no matter what time or day. no matter what i am doing. just come to me when ever - even if it is to just hear you rant about something. know that your step father loves you more than you can ever know and is always there for you as well. hang in there kiddo. mom.

FROM THE SIDE OF SOME HISTORY CLASS NOTES:
apodictic - without any doubt. clear distinct knowledge absolutely true.

FROM THE SIDE OF SOME PHILOSOPHY NOTES:
freedom is not a sensation.
im going to out kant kant!
define historical a priori.
the present is such a brief span of time

A RED ROBIN COASTER QUOTE:
"never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake..."

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE QUOTES:
"All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian"
Presidential Campaign Slogan: "I've upped my standards. Now, up yours."
Presidential Campaign Slogan: "If elected, I will win."
Presidential Campaign Slogan: "We can't stand Pat."
"Assuming either the Left Wing or the Right Wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles."

A SONG:
Let's look at the bible. Let's look in the book of job. Turn to chapter 40, in verse 15 we're told of a mighty creature that job must have known: "In the jugles of reeds and ferns behemoth made his home". Behemoth is a dinosaur, a dinosaur is he. "He eateth grass as an ox, his tail is like a cedar tree." "His bones are strong as bars of iron, he's chief in the ways of God." Could behemoth be a dinoasaur, a mighty sauropod?

A DAVE MATTHEWS SONG FOR MICHAEL SPEAR:
Dreamed I killed God and woke up...
Dream I killed God and woke up...
He's begging "Please, please, please."
"No, don't...."

I dream i killed god and woke up
Time dries, time dries my mind
Oh, i'll survive, no one can save us
Talk to myself, talk to my soul

I want you to follow
Yes, follow...
It's only...it's only a dream, it's only...

Dream I killed God and woke up...
He was lying, bleeding and wishing...

It's passing.
It's passing.
Dream I killed God.
Dream I killed God.
Is he...dead?
And then I dreamt of Him.
