Wonder what happened to the whole film?

Oh, I have to go to Cleveland to see the whole film.  
"The entire video is available for viewing on original VHS and re-mastered DVD formats, at the Michael Schwartz Library, Cleveland State University". They really ought to make it streamable on the Cleveland Memory Project.  Looks like a pretty professionally done film.

When I first got my diagnosis, and while still without C. to calm me down, I dreamed of setting out on a road trip to nowhere with my dog.  The dog is my necessary familiar.  Without him, I have no identity.  Anyway, I was going to head to New Mexico, go to Vancouver is see my first best friend, head over to South Dakota to see my neice and visit the Black Hills again.  That's as far as I got, but I might need to do it, even if I have to come back to Texas to finish up.

But maybe I shouldn't take the dog.  Maybe I need to be free of my this identity for a while.

Yes, my identity is killing me.  Isn't that ironic.  We spend our while life building up this ID only to be told it's spurious when we get to the box office door.  "But this is my show!"  Too bad.

I gave up on the Austin bookseller and ordered another copy of Buddhist Third Class Junk Mail Oracle.

I'm not a poet anymore.  I'm taking a sabbatical as a drug addict.  With a taste for outlaw poetry.  I can't keep up with what day it is.  Time to throw the I Ching again.
