One aspect of our site that i really appreciate is how i put up as much information as i've been able to keep track of: dates, the venue, the city, the country, the number of people there, the door price, opening bands, that sort of thing. one of the very first comments we had was from a guy who said, "by the way, the opening band in albany in 1993 was not the very nice neighbors, it was the very pleasant neighbors." that brought a great joy to me.

More From Ian MacKaye

When god gives you a door, if you want access, you go through that door. people didn't like jesus. oh, they had all kind of reasons to hate him but jesus said, "i am the door. any man who enters must come by me. if you don't come by me," he said, "you're a thief and a robber." well, if omarosa manigault is the door to donald trump, well i kind of like that door. that's a pretty door. that's an intelligent door. that's a spiritually rooted door.
Jesus Hate Intelligent
Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. those are stories. funny stories. awkward stories. stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. but that's all bad first dates are: short stories. good first dates are more than short stories. they are first chapters. on a good first date, everything is springtime. and when a good first date becomes a relationship, the springtime lingers. even after it's over, there can be springtime.
Two Awkward Stories
One may enter the literary parlor via just about any door, be it the prison door, the madhouse door, or the brothel door. there is but one door one may not enter it through, which is the child room door. the critics will never forgive you such. the great rudyard kipling is one of a number of people to have suffered from this. i keep wondering to myself what this peculiar contempt towards anything related to childhood is all about.
Children Doors Numbers
You may not realize initially how many other opportunities are wrapped up inside the first one. after you go through the first door, you'll then discover more doors automatically opening behind that one. one door leads you to another door, which leads to another door, and so one. it's like ten other boxes packed inside one box. the initial door that god opens is your access to more opportunities. but you must be willing to walk through the first one to get to the other good things god has for you.
Opportunity Doors May
Karl rove described obama as "the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini, and making snide comments about everyone who passes by." unlike george bush, who's the guy at the country club who makes snide comments, and then passes out. now this characterization, of course, was something mr. rove just completely pulled out of his bulbous, gelatinous a$$, but remember this is america, a land where people believe anything they hear.
Beautiful Country Business
I have just been to a city in the west, a city full of poets, a city they have made safe for poets. the whole city is so lovely that you do not have to write it up to make it poetry; it is ready-made for you. but, i don't know - the poetry written in that city might not seem like poetry if read outside of the city. it would be like the jokes made when you were drunk; you have to get drunk again to appreciate them.

Teaching Inspire Vision
Once in my childhood i had been eager to learn irish; i thought to get leave to take lessons from an old scripture-reader who spent a part of his time in the parish of killinane, teaching such scholars as he could find to read their own language in the hope that they might turn to the only book then being printed in irish, the bible.
Book Teaching Childhood
Although our grammar schools are teaching a whole generation computer language to adjust to the technological needs of a stage ii [post survival-focused] society, we have neglected to teach this generation relationship language and conflict resolution skills to address the social and psychological needs of a stage ii society. and when it is taught, in countries like germany, although called social competence it focuses on workplace teamwork - still on survival, breadwinner oriented work goals.
