Bioterrorism is like earthquakes, you should think in order of magnitudes. if you can kill 10 people that's a one, 100 people that's a two... bioterrorism is the thing that can give you not just sixes, but sevens, eights and nines.

I have one final hope, if i get double sixes, maybe he will change his mind, come back to me. as if to cast a magic spell, i blow on the dice just as dex did...just as it happened with our first roll, one die lands before its mate. on a six! i hold my breath. for a brief second, i see a mess of dots, and think i have boxcars again. i kneel, staring at the second die. it is onle a five. i have rolled an eleven, it is as if someone is mocking me, saying, close, but no dice.

Now, everybody knows the basic erogenous zones. you got one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. ... ok, now most guys will hit one, two, three and then go to seven and set up camp. ... you want to hit 'em all and you wanna mix 'em up. you gotta keep 'em on their toes. ... you could start out with a little one. a two. a one, two, three. a three. a five. a four. a three, two. two. a two, four, six. two, four, six. four. two. two. four, seven! five, seven! six, seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven! seven!

You can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of god, or what we call god, and it can never die.
Regret Hate Love You
Life is fair. we all get the same nine-month shake in the box, and then the dice roll. some people get a run of sevens. some people, unfortunately, get snake-eyes. its just how the world is.
Running Eye Snakes
Most people write the same sentence over and over again. the same number of words-say, 8-10, or 10-12. the same sentence structure. try to become stretchy-if you generally write 8 words, throw a 20 word sentence in there, and a few three-word shorties. if you're generally a 20 word writer, make sure you throw in some threes, fivers and sevens, just to keep the reader from going crosseyed.

I'm not sure i would call it agony but there is a kind of cyclic frustration. you get one story right and then here comes another one. when does that end? what i'm trying to do is get it to end right now, by recognizing that that cycle is writing. that is: trying to understand the frustrations and setbacks (and agony) as part of a bigger chess game you are playing with art itself.
