Oh, 09. Cialis man. Boy that was boring. Even from Apathy.

(They don't allow me to go to the big burns anymore as I'm apt to give some poor innosent a piece of my mind. No prettyer in public than on line.)

was wondering if you found the "confession booth" at burn last year? They were really keeping in the theme rites of passage. When I stoped by there was a half naked man confessing loudly that he really wasn't shirt cocking that he was drunk and "lost" his pants. Yeah right.

My sin is I didn't commit my sins more secretly. Next year I plan to be more smart about it.

I really need that "confession booth"... maybe I can save myself from going to hell. But I heard heaven is quite dull.

I went to Burning Man 2010 and didn't see the man burn.

I was passed out in my camp, and no one bothered to wake me up. Thanks, guys.

On Thursday afternoon, I was back at camp and "just HAD to" see if my cell worked. It did receive my voicemails. I listened to them, and felt guilty as shit for it. Didn't tell anyone til now. Disconnecting from the default world is difficult at times, but that was my only "slip".

What a coincidence - I rode over a few with the bike (darktards, not finger lights).

I'm not sure what I did out there on the playa, but it burns when I pee.
Did I sin?

After 6 years of going and I have not lived up to my potential. Its almost like I am still a virgin. I go with my needs, stoke out my theme camp with stickers I made and camp flare, I bring extra whatever and I share it, I am helpful and positive and good at talking to others, meeting people, but I can't express my artistic side for the life of me.

Scared? Lazy? Too into being social and partying and grooving? Just an idiot? I can do so much but have yet to be my potential. All my camp mates are in bands n stuff and sing, play guitar, have workshops......Six fucking years and I havent really gone the distance. Its a CRIME. I dunno if DJing and throwing a bacon mimosa party counts. I want to do the real deal.....Make real music on the playa for the playa. Its all bullshit until I get there.

Until then, a few ashes, tobacco scraps and pee dribbles will have to do.
