I am jumping on the band wagon. Here I go.....
These blogs, livejournals, whatever you may call them, are awfully self-indulgent. I'm here, not to change things, but to do the same.
My thoughts on the creation of this:
Everything that modern, childless women and men do has something to do with death. Because life has everything to do with death.
As a little girl, i listed all of the different "beans" i knew: lima beans, string beans, human beans. Many of you readers know the anecdote--on the swingset, all alone, I considered the inarticulable "mystery" behind the metaphysics of Being. Like all rational, educated humans, I sought to make sense of it. How could you classify this mysterious metaphysical aspect of "me"? (Cut to image of a 7-year-old Hammer staring in the mirror repeating the mantra "me. me. me. me.")
