The Adventures of Egg Pan and Noodle Pot

2009-12-07T22:47:00.000-08:00

Friday 7 a.m.

Egg Pan: I’m stuffed.
Noodle Pot: Shut the fuck up.
Pan: Rough night?
Noodle: Let me soak.
Pan: No. We’re in the sink all weekend.
Noodle: I just want to drown.
Pan: I’m greased.
Noodle: Just a rinse.

self

You and self.

I is another name for self. When you say “I did something” you are speaking for self. Your self. We all have one.

What are some other names we call self? Me. Myself. A lot of people say "I know myself." Why is that one word?

I like to think of it as self and me. There’s me and then there’s self. There are two. The two are different.

What is self?

Self is plastic. A faceless form. A being inside. Self is your friend. The quiet one. The unspoken for.

Your job is to know your self. You should like your self. You should know what the self likes.

Think of you as the spokesperson for self. You execute for self. Speak for self. Act for self. Make decisions for your self.

You are you.

The self has feelings. Self has likes and dislikes.

Self has urges and addictions. You act them out. Or you don’t. You’re the enabler. Self presents the choices and you make them.

You think to your self. When you do, you are trying to work out what the self is feeling.

Self is your buddy. Take care of him.

You shouldn’t be selfish. That means you must recognize that every one has a self. You might know the other you but not the other’s self.

For every two, there are another two.

Me—Self

You—Self

Let’s take a road trip in a car, you and me will sit in front. Our selves will ride in the back.

As we ride along, we will do the talking for our selves. They will remain quiet back there, communicating in their own way. It’s nonverbal. Without words. Maybe not even linear.

Our selves need no contact nor interaction.

It’s feelings based.

Refilling the feeder.

Come late afternoon, just after a nap, which followed lunch but before the news, to prep for a project or at least get the mind going again, he walks into the kitchen. The maker's pot—glass and off for hours— is lifted out of place its contents poured into a mug. I hear the microwave door open, then it shuts—ca thunk. Buttons are pushed: power, then ten seconds increments, say, four times, then start. The subtle hum of the glass turntable, the hum of the modern day heating element provides sound to the spot-lit scene. Poppa steps out of it toward the a picture window to the outside world. He looks right now at birds gathered in the yard pecking at seed spilled from the feeder to the rocky ground below. Five beeps indicate time's end. His half a cup of coffee is warmed when a new thought comes through the window's pane: I'll refill the feeder, so the birds continue to visit.

A Carsonation Exclusive

2007-08-10T16:35:00.000-07:00

If you were Carson, today

or, If you lived in Carsonation

or, For best results download schedule

or, Everything I do is stolen from what others do

or, My life is a cliche and here's a day

Try as I might to write first-person stories of my life, I never get the feeling you readers fully understand what an average Monday in my summer life might be like. So, in type, I break down my schedule.

And I start off by asking the question: What day does your week start? And since I am the only one here to answer that question, I will. Monday. While many continue to state that Sunday is the start of the week, I say Monday is the start of the work week. Better, I say Monday is the start of the school week. And since I'm one of the oldest schoolboys, Monday is where I begin.

Monday: I recently began a shaving schedule that puts the blade to my face exactly twice a week. I learned this from a profile of an online friend I have. Monday is a great day to shave. It really does mean it's time for school, or business. But shaving isn't typically how my Mondays begin. First I wake up with the sun. I don't always get up with the sun, but I do wake due to the fact that my window has no blinds, that the window faces east, and that my body had been programed to wake up at 4:30 for three straight years (I no longer do this). I've been going on walks upon awakening. For my dog and to stretch my often aching body. What's helped has been the ipod I recently got in the mail. Take piss, put on shoes, turn on pod, plastic bag, leash, ChuckIt, and go. Returning, I usually take the headphones out of my ears, wash my hands, and start boiling water for the power breakfast. The following meal was given to me by my brother: One cup oatmeal mixed in boiling water with one egg. In bowl mix oatmeal/egg concoction with walnuts, crasins, honey, and soy milk. Eat. When I had it, I put a dollop of peanut butter, which goes well with anything but especially oatmeal. I like to eat my breakfast in the company of Heidi, who I will feed after I am done, with a newspaper if I have one, or with Maury, who I like to watch and laugh at. With my laughter I'm trying to wake up Barry, whose room borders the television room and who hates it when I watch Maury in the morning. And, it is the natural reaction to viewing paternal results coming in on national television--in most cases. On Mondays I ride my bike downtown, usually before 11 a.m. This begins my 12-hour workday, consisting of the two jobs I currenly have. First, I go into the magazine, which is a monthly. The title of this magazine is two words the first word the state I currently live and the second rhymes with isness. I don't care for the content all the much but the "benefits" have been better than I expected and I seem to be learning how to type faster, clearer and more consise. By 6 p.m. I need to be at my other job, a bookstore which name rhymes with owls. The next five hours of my life are spent in front of a computer, connected to a register, which has a scanner plugged into it for scanning barcodes of books for purchase. I've often zoned out doing this, turning robotic like my body and mind are an extension of the computer itself. As if I am new hardware detected. I'll help close shop. Unlock my bike and ride back across the Willamette River to my house, arriving right before or right after 11:30 p.m.

Clinton corner massacre.

2007-12-04T16:03:00.000-08:00

I'm putting this off. I'm getting distracted. I turn my head every time the door opens. My article is due, not yet crafted. Unfocused, I feel I'm on opium.

Oh dear, oh my. I've been here for five hours but still I haven't left the seat I'm on. My hand touches a bug lamp with flowers. I look back at my doc, haven't begun. It's blank, white and the cursor, well, it blinks.
What I've got is much worse than fucking block even though that is what everyone thinks. I flex and crack back, I adjust my cock.

Getting comfortable is all in the heart. To finish really you just have to start.

The two years later poem

2007-11-30T00:53:00.000-08:00

Unsure of the future, of course I am
I don't know what'll happen how can I?
All I know is that the past is damned
I'll tell you all about it, let me try

I've loved before and others have loved me
some day, some day, some day, why not today?
I love you right now, hope that you can see
The past and the present are all I say

What's left, what's here are all those me-pieces
Ones created and ones you've helped create
so should I say more when we meet faces
should we enjoy time before it's too late?

don't know, don't know, don't know, we'll wait and see
what happens after now is all fantasy

Did you know?

2005-12-27T16:54:00.000-08:00

that:

It's a fact that I've been in Portland over a year.
Carsonation celebrated its one-year anni this month.
I'm 26 and have all my teeth, though a couple are chipped --fucking beer bottles.
I live with three other males ages 22-29, and I'm not in a frat.
I have a dog, Heidi.
As of this summer, I have no car.
Now, I ride my bike.
I ride the bus/MAX/streetcar more.
I have two jobs and get paid for only one, making a mere $8.25/hour sucking the corporate cock.
It's raining out. Or will be within the hour.
I'm 5 feet 11 inches but sometimes tell people I'm well over six-foot.
I've weighed 140 lbs. for the last decade, despite it all.
I'm certain this will catch up with me, so am watching what I drink.
There isn't one particular girl in my life.
Thanks to Maury, I found out that I am NOT the father.
I got everything I asked for for Christmas, except for the X-box 360 (Fuck you too, Santa.).
I smoked a Cuban cigar on Christmas with my friend Maria; we had a cigar seance, attempting to communicate with Che. To no avail we talked to one another instead.
I talked to my two cousins on the phone for the first time in years; they both referred to me as carsonation, so I'm certain they'(ve)ll read this, and do in fact owe me a phone call.
Despite my offers on this site, no one requested a gift from me this Christmas.
It is my pleasure to publish your comments, whatever they may be. So long as they don't attempt to sell things/services.

Life's lessons

2008-09-02T00:37:00.000-07:00

Summers over, and all I found out was what's possible.

Well, it's possible to have one's rent hiked up to-- and possibly more than--33 percent, causing one to move (I to move anyway).

I suppose it's possible to spend three months away from girlfriend.

It's possible to drink nearly everyday without exceeding (sometimes exceeding) and still function as a person. It's possible to walk the dog every morning.

It's possible to think about but do no school work everyday. It's possible to work five days a week and still not be able to save money.

It's possible to start to read five books, continue to read them, and still be reading all of them (or think you are). It's possible to wane one's responsibility and have others give up on you. It's possible--but not yet proven--to win them back.

It's possible to own a car but not drive it everyday.

It's possible to regret stuff.

It's possible to believe in hope.

It's possible to believe it's bullshit.

It's possible to believe it's both.

It's possible to have friends who are girls that won't be girlfriends.

It's possible to eat a burrito six out of seven days a week.

It's possible to drink a bottle of wine in a night by yourself.

It's possible to ruin a ping-pong table by leaving it out in the rain.

It's possible to be in debt for years and years.

It's possible to read Sometimes a Great Notion (I still believe).

It's possible to find non-pleated pants that fit at Goodwill.

It's possible to get a good haircut for less than 20 dollars. I

t's possible to get published.

It's possible to finish a master's degree (or think you can) in the fall.

It's possible to grow a (protest) beard.

It's possible to spend the whole summer working in the Blue Room of Powell's.

It's possible to spend the whole summer without putting on a swim suit.

It's possible to spend a day reading the Sunday Times--or most of it.

It's possible to ride your bike through: Saturday Market, the Bite of Oregon, Flutag, the Obama Rally, the Blues Festival, Rose Festival, Oregon Brewers Festival, concerts, movies in the park, but not attend any of them.

It's possible not to see a movie in theaters (oh wait, there was the dollar flick Forgetting Sarah Marshall I saw with my brother and father in Albuquerque).

It's possible to miss the bus twice.

It's possible to reunite with high school acquiantences after 10 years.

When the universal remote's batteries died but were replaced the codes must have gotten erased because when we tried to use it after the batteries were replaced it didn't seem to work on either the TV or the DVD player, and for months we were forced to stand and depress buttons on the TV and DVD player.

Reverse phone look up.

2009-04-14T09:41:00.000-07:00

I got a call but he missed it. It was a missed call. Fortunately, the number was on my phone when I pushed the button to retrieve the missed call. The number didn't have a name with it, which means that it wasn't the number of one of my contacts. I put the phone back in his pocket.

Why didn't I hear it ring?

My phone's on vibrate. Why didn't I feel the vibration?

Is my phone on vibrate or has it been silenced? I checked. And the phone logo with two lines on each side indicating motion let him know that his phone was on vibrate.

Why didn't I feel the phone?

I was walking to work and movement of my legs might have caused vibration enough to counter the vibration of the phone, or the movement with the motion makes sensory impossible.

I continued to walk, crossing streets heading down sidewalks through neighborhoods and across the bridge the whole time wondering who it was who might have called.

Could it have been an employer? Someone to tell me they wanted to interview me? Could it be someone to tell him he had been passed up for a job he had inquired about? That's possible but didn't they leave a message, or at least I hadn't felt another vibration, an indication that a
voicemail was left by the caller, but I hadn't felt the phone ring or rather vibrate in the first place, so not feeling the phone vibrate, which it does once indicating there's a message, was more likely that feeling the phone vibrate. I pulled my phone out of the pocket a second time
to check for the logo but he didn't see it. They didn't leave a message whoever the they was.

2009-11-24T17:33:00.000-08:00

After a week of thinking about books and birds I woke up to worry about money, one check in particular that was supposed to be in the mail.

I hadn't received the vital delivery, a check to assist in my current education endeavor. It had not arrived. I know it had not arrived because I would have noticed if it had arrived. The check was important.

I checked my electronic mail. While its loading I wonder if when email became popular letter carriers collectively sighed. This would be the end, though, I'm assured that one I live with that Netflix will save the postal service. Or at least it's keeping it alive.

I go back in my inbox and find an email dated on the 13th. It reads that the check will be mailed the following day (14th) and sent priority. That was days ago, no, a week ago, week and days. It should have been here. Now, I'm worried. I reply to the email that I did not get the delivery, and
what can I do about it.

My phone rings.

It's a response to the email. The priority package was sent. It was tracked and it was delivered (on the 16th). There's nothing more to be said at this time. Only thinking can be done.

I get upset, then I take a shower. I get dressed, then I go outside. I look around. It's been over a week but I look around outside anyway. I lift the trash bin lid, the recycling bin's, the yard debris' but see nothing that remotely looks like a priority envelope. I think that the collector of these bins has come since the alleged delivery. My mind moves to landfills, to the thought of the next door neighbor kids sliding down the hill on the envelope.

I return inside and the phone rings again. I'm told a vital piece of information and then another. First I'm given the 23 digit tracking number. I write it down; it takes two lines. I'm also told by the sender that the zip code the package was sent to could have been wrong, that the entire street address could have been the street address of a previous residence of mine--I moved four months ago, almost to the day.

I hang up and call the post office with which I've had experience on another matter (see Kolb) and talk Nancy and give her the tracking number. She confirms that a priority package was delivered to this zip code, she doesn't have the street address but says she would suspect that if someone got a package that didn't belong to them that they would hand it back over
to the proper authority. Sure.

Have you ever opened something that came to your address that didn't have your name on it? That's mail tampering.

I bring Heidi. She knows the neighborhood. We ride down the streets of our past. Some things have changed. They're done with the condo on Hawthorne. There's construction on 20th before Division. There is street bike parking by the Clinton condos. The photography studio near Powell Park is for sale. I drive up to 28th place, past the project apartments. When I get to the house I notice some of the same cars. John's for instance. The blinds to the house are bent up. At least the ones on k across the street and approach with caution. I'm there for the envelope. I knock on my former door.

I hear "Who is it?" I remain silent. It doesn't what I say. I wait for him to answer. I know he will. He does. I tell him I used to live there and that I'm looking for a piece of mail. He is scruffy and taller than I am, he introduces himself as Felix. He has a British accent and invites me in my former house. I barely recognize it. There's a bong on the table and beer cans and other trash is everywhere. Felix tells me he doesn't live there. He's visiting. Still, we walk into the kitchen I once washed dishes in. It too is filled with things I don't recognize. There's a french press (double brew?), I look around. Where would a household like this keep their mail? It could be anywhere. Someone is coming down the stairs I used to take. It almost seems like he knows who I am and why I'm there. I forget for a moment that noise in my former house carries, that there are gaps under the doors as thick as dictionaries.

He walks past me as Felix mentions that I'm here for a parcel. I say I'm Carson Smith, and that I used to live here. This gentleman knows why I'm here. He knows exactly where the priority envelope is and he pulls it out of an area I used to keep my Puffins and hands it to me.

Somebody accidentally opened it, he tells me, but everything is in there.

I check for myself. I see the check that I came here for and feel a lot better.

I'm nice about it. These guys didn't do their civic duty but they did give me what I came for.

Thanks a lot guys I say as I think a lot might have been too much.

This blog blows.

2009-10-23T11:43:00.001-07:00

Why does it suck so bad?

Why isn't anyone writing on it? Or reading it?

Because there is nothing new.

There's work. There's ideas.

We need a new venue.

Any suggestions?

I'm outta here.

July. 2008. Portland.

2009-05-26T23:47:00.000-07:00

It was uncomfortable, uncomfortably hot in the upstairs of the house I lived in in southeast Portland, where my bedroom was, where I wanted to sleep but couldn't, I thought I was tired and hadn’t had a good night sleep in weeks, and was up and at ‘em early that morning and had gone to sleep late that night before--when it's this hot all you want to do is sleep, or be in air conditioning if you have it, which I don't, most houses here still don't have because it's only this hot for a short period of time in summer, which is probably what makes it so miserable.

It's this hot other places, sure, hotter, but when you are not used to it, even though I should be because I grew up in the high desert but I'm not and never will be, it's relentless. So it was basement for me or the bar that I'll go to even though it's this early in the afternoon and I don't feel too much like drinking these days but probably will because I can't sleep and I want that cold artificial air that and I don't want to be alone and the bar I'm going to I can't just sit around and drink 7-up, which I like to drink when I’m not drinking, so I'll have to order an Oly, which I know I'll drink too fast--it's hot and I'm thirsty--then another, maybe a whiskey if I fell up to it, until I can't stay there, the Ship, anymore and I'll have to return home.

It'll still be hot in the house, this heat will last a week, the sun going down isn't going to do anything--this isn't the high desert--when I come back from the bar drunk and hungry I'll be those things and hot like I am now but maybe I'll be able to pass out, and, shit, that'll be then and not now, for now, or in just a few minutes I'll be at the Ship, cool and in company of others with a beer and this book I’m reading, out of this house and this heat.

It is, after all, my weekend.

plane dreaming

2009-04-30T13:15:00.000-07:00

In my dream I’m a drummer in a band. I don’t play drums and can’t carry a beat. My band mate looks at me to start the song and I think I’ll do a count: one, two, one, two, three, four, and try hitting the sticks against the drum like I know what song, like I know the beat that’s to the song that we will be playing.

And it's wrong, it’s all wrong. The guitarist can’t get it going, and I’m banging for a moment and then stop. There’s no music. We look at each other and there is disappointment in his dark eyes covered by his dark hair. He thought I could play.

On the plane the intercom comes on and wakes me up from the dream that I'm having. I try to pay attention and listen to a woman’s voice ask if there is a doctor on board, a nurse, an EMT, anything, then to please push your call button, and then, thank you. I wait. I hear a ding and then nothing. The few people I could see crank their heads up and down the aisle.

The woman on my right puts her Brad Meltzer book in her lap and the poor binding comes apart and the page that begins Chapter 32 comes out and she doesn’t notice like it won’t affect the plot. The page, it slips down her skirt between us. She’s more curious that I about who is hurt, who’s dying on the plane she’s flying, will this mean we’ll have to emergency land.

Choose your battles

2009-04-10T08:49:00.001-07:00

I remember when she first understood the expression, you've got to choose your battles. Her mom said it to her talking about her little brother, who wanted to watch something on TV or eat something he probably shouldn't. Mom could've put up a fight or let him have what he wanted. She thought about that: Choose. A cute innocent smile was left: you can't have everything. You will lose something to gain. She was about to make one of these choices.

There are choices that I'll always remember making and other people making. How they've come to alter our realities. Without regret I'll look back and think that one, oh, there. When I did that or this. The battles that I chose and the ones I let work themselves out. The ones I ignored. And the ones that defeated me. The ones I won.

There are no winners in war. That's what I think when I hear someone on the radio say that we are trying to figure out a way to still win this war, a culmination of battles. When we put down our guns and finally walk away will we come out on top? Will anyone? The are those that are left. The winners are those that didn't have to see it all the way through. Those that bowed out early or were killed. Those we might consider losers.

complete the circle

2009-04-05T12:41:00.000-07:00

Do you have a place to recycle? she said holding up to me her paper coffee cup
complete with lid and wraparound brown corrugated sleeve.

There's a trash can behind me. I thumb over my shoulder. I'm not here to take trash
from strangers' hands and don't want them to get the idea that I am.

But it that recycling? she wants to know, waving the white cup in front of me. Really, she wants me me to take it from her. Her problem = my problem.

I don't know if you can recycle those cups (with plastic lids and shiny coated insides), I offer.

She doesn't get it. She's holding onto the cup, turning away from the black-bag lined trash, which is on the ground perpendicular to a blue bin with paper in it and a white triangular recycling logo.

I continue to see her, she's walking around with her empty coffee cup. I want to stop her and tell her to stop drinking out of paper cups or come to terms with the fact that as of consumption
waste must get thrown away in the trash and taken to the landfill. Stop feeling like just because you place trash in recycling you are doing your part to save the earth.

A piece of paper I begin to throw away reads:

2009-03-11T15:04:00.000-07:00

A sip is a thought

Right now I think whatever

Missing year book pages

2009-03-09T12:26:00.000-07:00

I went to afternoon kindergarten while both my parents worked. (Both still work. Times are tough; their health is good.) I lived three houses from the kindergarten but bussed from La Petite Academy, where I was dropped off by my mom in the morning, to Mitchell Elementary, where my brother was in third grade. (As of December we were both still in school.) La Petite I remember little about, but Mitchell was my primary school for the next six years. We were the Mustangs. (I've been a Mustang, a Hawk, a Truckin(?) Eagle, an Aggie, and a Viking.) My kindergarten teacher's name was Mrs. Hamilton. She had a son my age named Eugene (like the town in Oregon). On Halloween he dressed up like a robot and I was a hobo. There was a costume parade. Ernie, though, was my best friend (I was Bur) then but I have no memories of him after that year. My best friends forever would come in the following years. (I've since lost touch with most all of them.) Christine was the first girl I kissed in the back of the white La Petite bus which drove us to afternoon kindergarten from the Academy to our public schools; she went to a different school, Comanche. I never saw her again either. Or remember for sure if that was her name.

lava

2009-03-02T13:04:00.000-08:00

We played lava,
a game set at the playground,
where we made the sand below us as hot as fiery lava,
and the splintery jungle gym an island of safety.

We thought it was the best game in the world because we stayed alive by
running and jumping and climbing
to different positions.

Our own little world we dreamed we'd populate.
Just us.

2009-02-22T22:09:00.000-08:00

When I come in in the morning
there's no one
in the room/workspace

Down the aisles
I see stacks of books
but not a soul

looking at their spines/faced-out covers

Instead, it's just me and these
authors,

some of whom don't belong here
some of whom
should be in other rooms/sections of this bookstore

I search them out, these misshelved artists
hold them in my arms to place them into the resort bin, a box made of wood

eventually, someone on this low-staff day will come and collect them

put them on a cart and cart them away
to their proper place

When the universal remote's batteries died the codes must have gotten erased, that or when we moved because when we tried to use it in our new house after the batteries were replaced it didn't seem to work on either the TV or the DVD player and for months we had to stand up off the couch and depress buttons on top of the TV or on the face of the DVD player to get to the channel we desired or the scene or right episode, depending on whether it was a movie or a season of a particular show, which isn't as easy as it sounds because on certain DVD menus you have to move a cursor, which our particular DVD player doesn't have, and, therefore, we had to learn and try to execute a strange combination (similar to, referred to, even, as that of the once-famous (still?) hundred-lives code on CONTRA for the NES) of buttons including but not limited to: Play, Stop, Power, Power, Play, Stop, Play, Play, Play, until finally--and only if it worked--we could get to the particular scene or start of movie/episode we desired to view at the time we wanted to watch it, but what also was happening with the TV that we possess was that a menu which includes visual brightness/contrast but also closed captioning and language options as well s channel auto-programming would come up and could only be exited from if you pressed both greater than and lesser than volume buttons at the same time, but even that didn't always work and often--almost always--you could only go up with the channel dial(?) rather than up and down, which is preferred if you have a handful of channels and can't decide on which is airing the least objectionable program, so watching TV, which if you ask me is frustrating enough, became an undesirable past time even though it's supposed to be a leisurely activity(?) and is despite a recent Times article which reported that watching TV can make you sad, which according to me can be but that depends on the program because a show can also make you angry or smarter; it can make you laugh, and it can even make you share a good laugh with others if they are there with you, watching the same TV, further it can make you share a laugh much later (which can be a more satisfying laugh) with another if they watched it or were watching when it was on and are, say, at the water cooler at the same time you are at your place of business or wherever you find water coolers these days to gather around and talk about TV programs, but I digress from the universal remote's dead batteries, which, if you'll let me continue, we replaced but as I said the codes didn't work until my beautiful and talented girlfriend asked if we replaced batteries with dead batteries, which sounded offensive but proved to be true: they did not work, and then when she replaced them before looking up the remote and the TV and DVD player brands on the Internet and also the brand of the remote and re-programmed the universal remote successfully: first the TV--on, off; channel: up, down; then the DVD player: power on, power off, which we celebrated together by hugging one another, and is great for we'll have good fun with all three brand-differently-named appliances until February 17th, when television as we know it will go from digital to analog, which is supposed to improve our lives along with our reception if in fact one has a digital TV, is a subscribert to cable TV, or has in one's possession a digital converter box, which my household has none of and refuses to get, so we'll be without those channels and those programs that we could otherwise flip to and fro with the universal remote that now works again in this new year on both the TV, and did I mention DVD player? which will not be affected by the digital revolution, so if we want we could watch a DVD like Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, which we did this afternoon on our TV using the TV and DVD player successfully without a remote and with minimal problems.

At the bar drinking whiskey wondering.
What's this. It's new. And neat.
Beer back.
Now, this.
So what.
Drink. And wonder.
Why.
Sitting.
Standing. Outside.
Home, I wonder. Sure.
What.
Gotta leave. Where. Home.
Pipe. Try.
Light.
Puff.
Then. Puff more.
So.
Again.
Then. More.
Again.
Light.
Breathe.
Done.
Up.
Stairs.
Sleep.
Try.
Wonder.
How
