Just ran across this quote...

"Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior become habits. Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive , because your values become your destiny". -M. Ghandi

Tom and My Sanity

Do you think I first lost this last piece of sanity when I melted the candle over my carpet? I didn’t really mean to. It just started to spill over. Then the colors seemed to mesh so well. I thought, “Hey I’m artistic,…” It turned out that this decision was less than acceptable.

So how do you manage the initial knee jerk reaction “fuck those assholes that don’t shit from shit”. After all, isn’t it their admiration you’ve been seeking or at the very least trained to seek.

I brought this up at dinner the other night with my relatively new friend Tom. His response to the whole issue was not surprising. He is much less an alarmist than the narrator. Tom holds himself in a particular way that perhaps only a middle aged long bearded Jew could. At first glance, he blisters as some unfortunate leftover from the summer of love. But his intellectual commentary relieves him from excessive inane judgment, even for those unwilling to listen. And if pressed, you can really only fault Tom for being a bit too excited about Tuesdays. He fucking loves Tuesdays.

The excitement continues

Don Pedro et al,

Much should be said in response to JJ's e-mail. But I will restrict myself to the following snipe. The balls must glisten. Shave them and all anxieties will vanish. Just ask the J-bird about this!

Wedding Bells

Yes, on November 3, 2007, the P-Dog will finally be domesticated to the ever lovely and assertive, Priya Montgomery Chatwani. I've been hearing a lot of buzz about the big day from ATGR readers, including from our biggest fan, and part time contributor, J.J. Hart. J.J. wasn't sure whether he should attend the wedding or the bachelor party; he was only given the option of coming to one event for reasons that should be apparent from the following:

"Peter, First you failed to respond to my first request regarding flight times. Second, it will not be too hard for me to watch you get married -- good riddance. Third, do I have to go to the wedding, or can I just go to the party? Fourth, it's mean to say things like 'women are always horny at weddings' and then follow it up with 'I wouldn't count on it.' Fifth, even if there are horny women at the wedding, they will probably want no part of me after I throw up on my shirt. Sixth, even if there are horny women at the wedding and I manage not to throw up on my shirt, my penis will be nonfunctional after I've finished reacquainting myself with my friend John Daniels. Seventh, even if there are horny women at the wedding, I manage not to throw up on my shirt and I manage to stay functionally sober, I have sexual anxiety. Eighth, should I shave my testes or leave the woolen coating? These are all the statements and questions I have for now."

All good points J.J. Unfortunately, I have no advice regarding whether you should shave your balls.
