Darko

George Partington gets it--gets what I mean by perspective. He just turned himself inside out over on High Water; he's letting the flood waters roll in:

"I'm angry, angst-ridden, alienated. Or in gentler moments, bemused, bothered, and bewildered. I'm adolescent."

and

"And I step up daily for more abuse. And if I'm feeling strong, I shake it off and say what else can you show me? Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate. Most of the time."

What stirred up his words was a movie called Donnie Darko. The website alone gets a holy shit in my book.

Funny, I talked to George last week--knew I liked him, but didn't have much time to get to know him.

I know him lots better now.
