rogerology day!




We all have read our Nietzsche, and know that it is better not have been born. Who doesn’t feel pressing in, year after year, the serpent’s promise of death to Eve – that was the real temptation. The only way to escape from the life sentence of paradise. But in spite of the death drive, LI is still ticking away, with all the stupidity of a watch set to the wrong time. The watch cannot reach out and set itself straight – birthdays are a reminder that people can’t do that either, although of course the mechanism in some of us makes us repeat the vain gesture, over and over again.

It is my birthday today.

Here’s my song for today: Ponderosa

um, happy birthday.

Thank you, North! This is turning into a peculiarly self-hating birthday, since I was just reminded of what an asshole I used to be. Which is in the past! I'm now on the straight and narrow! But I am going out soon, and I'm hoping that I get into the spirit of celebrating my decay. I'm for my decay - I'm a big decay fan. Die, cells! Metastasize! The faster the better. Perhaps this should have been the song for the day.

nice gitar.

btw, a weeping wino underneath a weeping willow with his naked derriere hanging out saying fuck you kiss my ass is very rogerology.

No, roger, not the wrong time - just the wrong place. Perfect time for some other time zone. Exile; tour guide. Happy birthday.

say, I didn't hear the part where the weeping wino has his naked derriere hanging out!

Thanks praxis. It was a happy birthday - I did drink till I was drunk, though I didn't smoke until I was senseless. Now I am in Bertie Wooster's condition when he first met Jeeves - feeling a bit rocky from the night before. I need something like Jeeves' ingenious concoction:

'If you would drink this, sir,' he said, with a kind of bedside manner,
rather like the royal doctor shooting the bracer into the sick prince. 'It
is a little preparation of my own invention. It is the Worcester Sauce that
gives it its colour. The raw egg makes it nutritious. The red pepper gives
it its bite. Gentlemen have told me they have found it extremely
invigorating after a late evening.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.gertantis.ru]legal buy viagra online[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
