• Love Machine: Morning Breath Kisses

  I've always been especially self-conscious about my breath. I grew up with an older brother who made great sport of trapping me in clouds of reek that came from his various orifices. I have especially acute memories of the fetid air that came out of his mouth in the mornings. As a pissed off teenager it was easy to come to the conclusion that my brother's breath smelled that way simply as a reflection of what a horrible person he was: loud, obnoxious, prone to tyrannical outbursts of violence. How could his breath not smell like a dying possum in a sewer? Read More...

• Crying In Public: Some Corner in Brooklyn

  I don't know how to write this one. I was in New York for a few days this August. I had spent a week in Denmark visiting my family. My grandmother has Alzheimer's disease and my grandfather died last winter so we had to put her into a nursing home. I spent a week in Denmark helping to clean out my grandparent's house to get it ready for sale. On the way back, I stopped in New York to visit my friend P, who I've known since high school and now lives somewhere south of midtown in a neighborhood that vaguely resembles a mall.   Read More...

• Hooksexup Confessions: I Fell In Love In A Week

  Most of the Hooksexup Confessions have been a bit boring lately, and don't really inspire me to read them, let alone read and dissect them. I noticed these following ones, though, about falling in love in a week and the conversation that ensued. "I found the perfect person for me, fell in love with her within a week. But, no surprise, I'm not her type. I'm pessimistic about my chances of finding my type who coincidentally finds me to be her type. God is dead and I still can't take advantage of the situation." "How do you fall in love with someone in a week? That is ridiculous. You fall in lust- love is when they have stuck around for a while and actually bring somethin to the table......" "12:59--I fell in love with her in a week and I knew it was love because I was so interested in listening to her talk that sex barely crossed my mind. Sex was there, sure, but I've never felt it sink so far into the background while being attracted to someone so enthralling. I understand that you don't understand, because I didn't buy that such a thing was possible either. But... "now I'm a believer" (and not just because I saw her [very pretty] face)." "04:29PM- sorry- still not love. Fascination, infatuation, whatever- but perhsps I'm old fashioned- I think the word love should be reserved for those who love you back....." "Re: Love in only a week. If love is only a feeling, then yeah, sure you're in love, that's fine. But if you only know someone a week there's an awful lot you /don't/ know about them, so that feeling is probably more likely to change than with someone you've known a long time." "True love: someone who adores you for being exactly who you are and vice versa." Read More...
