garbage

i love garbage night.

i LOVE throwing away junk.

last night i went through a box of random junk and pitched most of it.

excellent.

even more excellent, the few items I did keep!!!

1. silly putty. enough said.

2. a MIXED tape. an ACTUAL  mixed tape of mine. i really didn’t think I had any of these around anymore.

what will I do with it you, ask?

not much, except smile. do an “in the old days” routine with the kiddies?

3. my Buddha Board

in case you are unfamiliar, it is a whimsical novelty that encourages you to paint with water alone

and contemplate the impermanence of the universe as you watch your masterpiece evaporate.

always a good lesson to refresh.

peace and love.

postscript!!! is this terrible or meaningful news? …the silly putty left a permanent mark on the buddha board. Hmm?


overexposed

“Overexposed 2: Enough is Enough”

final.

let’s hope 2012 brings me a new model.

i am bored with the one I’ve got.

the other two move too much.

fingers crossed.

avowal

this song came ’round yesterday. on the heARTbreak Everyone’s Mixtape mix. not sure where I have been since 2004?

thank you Martha Wainwright for finding some words for me and singing them with such heARTbreaking honesty

( I just had to! I am actually not all that heartbroken nor sad 🙂 I just really dig the music on that mix)

*  important disclaimer *  the sentiment of this post is NOT/NOT aimed at my parents, as some suggest Martha’s song may be to her father, nor at anyone else for that matter. also, the chorus may be a shade harsh


merry merry

my most favourite evening of the year

I will fight for merry






words here are the only way I can make this merry

peace, love, light

solstice miracle!

…one day belated,

in the middle of some impromptu t-mas crafting,

had the vision for the completion of a patient little piece

(…perhaps two! – a pair?)

waited on a dusty shelf, dusty itself

under books at times
