the french drop

it's true, you have to work. and not just these sad sporadic bursts. i mean, work. due diligence. committed production. sustained, directed fucking effort. but it's hard not to be waylaid. especially alone. maybe that's why two is better than one. because i love to loll. and, not meaning offense, but women are better at the marathon. meaning, single's a plus and a minus. there's a reason there's two sides to money. i think guys are more burst oriented; they aim for great moments. decisive actions. they don't do well at sustained excercise. maybe olympic marathon records will undercut my drunken social theorizing; or those titans of industry and finance, or philip roth. it has been my experience that i'm pretty much always wrong about everything. but a woman can make you work, i do know that much. however, in the absence of such fairer motivation, i will abide with cards and dice and a guilty conscience.
