13 Things I Carry With Me
1. Backpack - To hold stuff. Has a cool laptop case.
2. Lunchbox – Front pocket holds transit cards and stuff.
3. Umbrella – One too many times impersonating a drowned rat.
4. Cell phone – In case I get stranded somewhere. (Like, say, Minnesota.)
5. Journal – For morning pages, talking to myself, self defense.
6. Extra pens – Never write in blood on the train. It causes talk.
7. USB keys – Jump drives, portable memory cards, whatever they’re called, I love them. Lets me carry my writing with me.
8. Homework – Why they have to make textbooks so bloomin’ heavy, I’ll never know.
9. Extra sanitary napkins – What? I have to spell it out for you?
10. Makeup – I’ve heard guys complain about ladies doing makeup on the train. Two words for you: shut. up.
11. Nail file – Why am I the only one in a four block radius who carries one of these? Srsly!
12. Clive Owen – What? I can dream, can’t I?
13. Food – Bananas, apples, cheese, nuts, yogurt, vegemals, all kinds of things.
Happy TT!

13 Thoughts on the Nature of Time
1. Humans experience time in a linear fashion.
2. Cats can bilocate.
3. The written word provides permanency of thought.
4. Written media propagate ideas across time.
5. Time for humans only goes forward.
6. To slow the relative personal experience of the velocity of time, one must pay attention.
7. Writing helps this process of paying attention, because by its nature writing by longhand is an immediate task. It’s difficult to keep the pen moving while the mind (attention) is elsewhere.
8. Dogs live in the now.
9. The word, written, has power.
10. The word, spoken, is ephemeral but not devoid of power.
11. Control of the written word is hallmark of, but not limited to, dictatorship and totalitarianism.
12. Humans are driven to communicate.
13. The word, written, can only be temporarily blocked but the Flow cannot be stopped.
