try as he might he’s unable to speak
he grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
the bed is unmade like everything is
dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
take me like that, ruin it all
then build it again by the light in the hall
he drops to his knees says please my love, please
i’ll kill who you hate, take off that dress, you won’t freeze
one more night, that was a good one
one more night, i dreamed it was a good one
one more, one more night, that was a good one
one more night, the end should be a good one
a good one
he starts with her back cause that’s what he sees
when she’s breaking his heart she still fucks like a tease
release to the sky, look him straight in the eye
and tell him that now, that you wish he would die
you’ll never touch him again so get what you can
leaving him empty just because he’s a man
so good when it ends, they’ll never be friends
one more night, that’s all they can spend
one more night, that was a good one
one more night, i dreamed it was a good one
one more, one more night, that was a good one
one more night, the end should be a good one
a good one

‘But the flip side of it is,’ he explains, hinting at what divides him and Hillary, ‘if it’s all tactics and all politics, and there’s not the idealism, if it’s not touched by that sense of movement, then you actually never bring about change. Then it’s just pure transactions between powerful interests in Washington.’”

Henry Aaron will never be replaced by anyone like Barry Bonds, who is the Ty Cobb of modern times. Just another asshole with undeserved talent. For Barry to have ever even mentioned racial persecution during the “pursuit” of this record* I find profoundly offensive in light of Aaron’s ordeal and achievement.

Of Aaron’s participation in a documentary on the chase:
His principal concern was insuring that our focus would be more on civil rights and social history than on home runs and pennant chases. He seemed less interested in how much he would be paid for his troubles than in how much the film might raise to launch a dream of his, a foundation to offer scholarships and benefit inner-city children.
And look at how much Bonds has changed (in my opinion) from his quote as a young man at the end of the article. The transformative power of Hubris.

I was trying to go to sleep last night, newly realizing that my life is about to shift significantly to NYC, and I realized how I am going to use my 278votes.com idea. You see in 1898 the five boroughs of NYC all voted to incorporate as NYC and give up their relative independence. Brooklyn, the 2nd mightiest of the bunch, voted to incorporate, but only by 277 votes. It led to a great deal of bitterness, and apparently Brooklyn old timers for ages complained about it. (all initially learned thanks to the wonderful PBS documentary series on New York) Anyway, it occurred to me that 278votes.com would be the most amazing name ever for a decidedly pro-Brooklyn website or blog, as if there had only been 278 more votes cast against incorporation, then Brooklyn would be the fourth largest city in America today. So I was thinking I would start a blog from day zero about discovering the city through a new (if already biased) set of eyes, and sort of chronicle all the neat things I figure out and have an excuse to pay closer attention to everything and write more. Then I remembered that I was moving in with interesting creative type people, so why not make it a collaboration? Jimmey is a fantastic photographer, and will be out on missions anyway taking photos of our new home. Lauren is a painter, and could maybe review galleries and museums or whatever else she wanted to contribute. It would be a really fun (maybe even fun to read) flatmate project. Plus there is a really vibrant community of bloggers in Brooklyn, and I’m sure they welcome newcomers with open arms - maybe even contribute readers. (There is a vibrant community for everything in New York City) Anyway, it has that gut “very good idea” feeling to it, so stay tuned.
Also coming soon, I am looking for a bike and the most appropriate Brooklyn location to purchase a Brooklyn Dodgers hat, who I really wish were still around. I will not however, get the standard hipster issue BROOKLYN hoodie. No, I think I will instead bring with me a BROOKLINE hoodie, for irony.
it’s another to actually have some place to move, which I do, as of today. Brooklyn, NY - Sept 1. Hallelujah.
