salutations.

i am not one for soulless communication, but i figured that i mine as well bite the bullet and create one of these suckers. i'd like to use is as a vehicle to display the shit i make and share my thoughts.

one of my professors told me something a few weeks ago that i just can't seem to get out of my head. he said,

"the best advice my mother ever game me was, 'if you drink your coffee black, they'll always make it just the way you like it.' and you know somethin'? she was right. and now i drink the damn stuff black. no sugar. no cream. no nothin'."

i keep going back to our conversation and really thinking about what he said. i know he wasn't being literal. he hardly ever drinks coffee. i usually see him with a cardigan on dipping a tea bad and sipping on his tea. i think what he meant was quite simply if you keep it simple there is less room for error or disappointment (human error or not/perhaps fate even). so i have been keeping it simple. and i have been less disappointed.

however, you can't expect everyone to take their coffee black. i can't stand the stuff. bitter hell. and as much as this keepin' it simple shit is workin' for me for the past few months, i'm just not so sure i like it. there's less to experience, and i have learned that most people--- take their coffee with entirely too much cream and sugar. glutinous fools.

anyways, i've been thinking about things. i'm always thinking. the name of my blog is athazagoraphobia. it is the fear of forgetting or being forgotten about. i need to keep better track of my thoughts so i don't forget them, and i need to share them so i wont be forgotten. thus, the emergence of this blog.
