at least one shamefully belated gift is now on its way
for a stylish classy lady, whose tastes I cannot afford, I painted a silk scarf
i hope she knows how much respect I have for her…
Merry Christmas Alicia!
you are Ukranian…so that buys me at least a few weeks less shame!
it’s in the mail, along with dad’s vintage Merlin

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 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.

Prince, sir, please pardon the few snaps stolen in the first few moments.
I just HAD to.
Understand here, I am applying no zoom.
Prince spent a good long while on, around, and playing the keyboard shown behind the amazing Shelby J. (back up vocal extraordinaire in the snap above)
Prince, sir, you scored much of the soundtrack of my early life. The odd factory of fortune delivered last night, chariot and all, a near life long dream of seeing you and your band(s) play live. Consummate, professional, important musicians all (Andy Allo, you amaze me).
…and I swear he even looked right at me and held my gaze.. That is right. Prince gave me “the Prince Stare”. I am certain I stopped breathing a good long while.
Thank your for your heART.
Thank you to my kind, yet rebellious escort.
And to Melissa for some kick ass seats.
