I Want to Love
Thursday, August 6th, 2009
I hunt. I search. I want love. Impossible, unreciprocated, I don’t care – I’ll make you mine whether you like it or not. Searching is torture and chances are the day will end in lonely failure. Don’t be scared. I am gentle and my deadly kiss – the one that will make you no longer interesting to me – will feel like nothing more than a subtle change in the wind. Perhaps even less. Click.
I search, prepared for the worst and hoping for the best. There you are! Elephant on my chest, butterflies in my stomach, eyes narrow, grip tightens around my piece. I’m ready to be happy! But you disappoint, the way that the best one usually do right before rising up to the challenge – you are but a dry leaf or an old orangutan nest. I’ll search all day if I have to, and tomorrow as well, and you will show yourself, and I will fall in love. But it’s only an infatuation, really. I don’t love you. I only need you to orgasm, and that’s not even my favorite part. When I see you, I’m high. When I get you, I come. But it’s when I search for you – I’m in love. I realize what I really want is the sweet agony of falling in love, the search for that special one – to shoot, not to kill, but to capture.

Yogyakarta
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
A short run through Yogyakarta took us through the Kraton, sultan’s palace, and the adjacent bird market. The Kraton didn’t impress me much with alabaster dragons and the sultans green plastic spoon on display (along other everyday items and palace furniture), but the bird market turned out to have almost every exotic bird and animal we could only hope to see around here in the wild. It was heartbreaking though educational to pass by the cages and crates of owls, giant spotted geckos, flying foxes and one very miserable looking loris (nocturnal lemur), all clinging hopelessly to the walls of their prisons, waiting to be bought and made into pets, meals, or paperweights with shiny glass eyes.
