It's Been a While

The ten, I just found out, is a good omen in Chinese culture. It's just lucky for us that we did not wed on a Saturday, because for some reason, that's bad. I like any superstition that works in my favor.
My fortune said that I would be honored by someone I respect. I believe in fortunes when they work in my favor.

impromptu poetry:

Stolen candy
melts and recrystallizes
in the pockets of stealthy
juveniles.

Rotten molars
rattle in the skulls
of the halitosis hookers
in Fat City.

Gummi Bears.
The filling of a Twinkie
loading cheeks and gums
with the chemistry of excess.

The Tuesday Report

The weather has been more to my liking since yesterday.

In about 11 days, Jeanne and I will be married!

Work is relentless and whenever I think I get caught up with everything, more stuff just comes my way.

Drawing takes a lot of time and energy that I don't have anymore.

We all live on a tiny blue speck that floats in space around a star that you wouldn't even notice outside of this galaxy.

My body is just an organic system that wants to reproduce itself, take in food, and dispose of waste. Yet there is something that prevents blind animal instinct from taking over.

There's a reason behind it all, but that is for a consciousness even greater than mine to deduce.

Hoarding?

We watched three episodes in a row of Hoarders last night on Netflix. Couldn't help but be reminded of it when I saw this photo.
I have weird tastes in imagery, I know. This is actually the kind of photo I would take myself if I had happened upon it with a camera.

It's a Boston Friday after all!

Let life never be deprived of its vibrancy.

May there always be something of great beauty that awaits you as you leave your front door.

May you find your spirit in all things wonderful.

Such a surreal day on the calendar, such a day that so many people want to talk about on and on and on, that a little bit of surrealism felt appropriate.
Those who know me well know that I am not easily whipped into a frenzy, be it for a sports team or for a day on the calendar. Where the crowd flocks, I tend to shy away.

I just love an aimless drifter...

Party On, Dudes!

A rule to live by. People who can do this sort of art really do impress me. Oh, and might I add: "Wyld Stallyns Rule!"
