Suddenly

…almost everything has been writing. And in just one day two -no, three- different proposals related to writing in Mexico came up.

Yesterday a friend asked me if I sweat when I write. (She did). I thought of it and said “no, I don’t”. I think I sweat before and after I write.

In a way these days have been some kind of rehearsal for living. I wouldn’t mind if the rest of my life were defined by this routine: 1. gym in the mornings, 2. writing during the day, 3. deejaying at night.

I’m just that simple. Maybe I ask too much. Or perhaps I just don’t wanna grow up…

    the 123 routine sounds great to me! don’t grow up: tom waits hasn’t, joey ramone died before he ever did: the song will never grow up.
    is that daniel clowes drawings/art/monos in the ramones’s video?

    I don’t think growing up has anything to do with it. As long as you’re paid to dj you have a job. If you can pay the rent you have a steady job. What’s more grown up than a steady job, writing, and workouts at the gym?

    They say the brain is fully formed at 26. So face it: whatever you do, you’re a grownup. And Horacio, Tom Waits was never a kid. he was born old (he sucked a cigar, not his thumb).

    I think John is just a kid ;)

    Yup, Horacio, that’s Daniel Clowes himself.

    Thank you both!

    I see no point in growing up. It makes you stuffy and boring…I suspect that many of our acquitances spend time wondering why H and I don’t grow up…

    Tom Waits..there’s a difference between growing up and being “old.”

    Ernesto, the insurance industry actuarial tables don’t think I’m a kid. But thanks. I can tell Kathy I’m her trophy husband.

    Honestly, I’ve never understood what the difference is between being an adult and a kid. An adult’s just a wrinkled kid.
