Death and I


















I've been so distant from death all my life.
It really all started with my estranged grandfather. My sister and I cried like BABIES at that memorial. Then an old family friend dies. One whom I looked up to and really appreciated in all his aspects. I never took the final chance to go see him and I regret it. The first death to have any real close identity was my cat Frankkitty; or Frank; or Franc Kittah (French Accent). He was like a best friend. I miss him like hell every so often but he's not a weight on me.
Now I've lost a co-worker, and not a very close one at that. I really liked the guy but I'm not able to relate as closely as most of the people I work with. It's sad, but not a lose.

So I've realized that Death and I are only beginning a relationship. I can't imagine the people that go to home base with Death.

The fear of Death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. ~Mark Twain

Snow Cone

























































My mom sent me the most ridiculous box of ornaments I have ever seen
And there's still more on their way
Love her to death
but ... out of her mind

PS: she also sent this:

Jason Sho Green

has done it again.














I love following artists with unlimited potential. Especially the ones who are of the same age. Just think what his work will be in four years.

PS: fourth or fifth basement show last night. Grouper was pretty.

Ground Kontrol











































































Fact #1: The Adams Family pinball game is the best. Plus, all the cute girls hang out around it to watch the shows anyway.
Fact #2: 6 PBRs in three hours = puking on the bus (PUKEWOLF) PS: It wasn't me.
Fact #3: I take more pictures of Zora when she has her shirt on.

My Only Friend, The End

I was hoping for a much better ending to this year than what it's turning out to be.
This has been one of the most amazing years of my life and yet...

These past few weeks have been complete utter torture. I'm not feeling depressed or sad or homesick. But that's just it. I don't feel anything. All I do is sleep and work and sleep and work and eat and sleep and work. I haven't drawn or written anything in over a month.

I know things will get better... but when?

I've dropped people out of my life, even the ones that still want to be in it. And I just don't care. Not because I'm bitter, or angry, or even bored with them. I just don't have the time. Or maybe I don't want to have the time.

I ask myself questions every day and the only answer I give myself is sleep, tomorrow will be better.

Tomorrow is today.
And today I've written in my blog.

Fuck it.

LazyHollaDazy

This is probably the first thanksgiving I've spent entirely alone
I mean, no roommates, no family dinner, no mashed potatoes
Just me and Zora taking looooong naps while it rains and pours outside
Okay, so I'm not entirely alone, but you get the idea
Had to be at work by 7am this morning after staying up super late
Now I'm laying in bed, again, and don't expect to get up till tomorrow morning

At least Black Friday will be fun, no work, gonna shop like there's no economy!

It's Sunday

Met up with Gabe (of Superfood fame and the wholly creator of 'pukewolf')
for the first time in almost three years.
He's a brother
So happy to see him

Drinks and smokes later
home again
And only to behold:


















It's a beautiful day sunshine
always, yellow hair, be mine
cause the dreams aren't real
if sun don't shine

We

The book I just started, We, is seriously the most insane book I've ever read.
I'm way too into it, and dammit, it's a short book.
I'll be done with it tomorrow night.

Artz III











































Anna Todaro is what is blowing my mind recently. Her colors alone are beyond me.

If you are lucky you might be receiving a postcard of hers that I bought from her at the Saturday market downtown.
