Eunoia

The shortest English word containing all five vowels. "Beautiful thinking." The title of a poetry collection by Christian Bok which contains five chapters named after each vowel; and each chapter only uses the vowel of its title. Highly recommended, but I must warn that each section contains a poem that deals with a "prurient debauch." (In other words, some of it is dirty).

So I guess today is my birthday. I guess I'm 22 years old.

...its my birthday tomorrow, but noone here could know. I was born this thursday, 22 years ago... and it all seems so helpless, and I have no plans. I'm a plane in the sunset, with nowhere to land...

happy birthday brother!

ooh.. the 20s.. 22 reminds me of the game "buzz" i used to play in French, with the buzznumber being 2. when counting, whenever the number with a 2 in it came up, you had to say "buzz" instead (am i the only one w/ this childhood memory? :o)

happy belated BUZZ birthday!
