assortment.....

i have a recurring thought whenever i am transiting around this town, be it by bike or by foot, although i never have it when riding or driving in a car. i am constantly assessing my surroundings for places i would sleep if i ended up houseless. this then leads me to think of what i would consider valuable or of necessity if the circumstances would arise. i am not sure of the implications of such thoughts, or why they recur so frequently. preparation, romantic fantasy, boredom? however, i have found many little nooks and crannies of the city that seem suitable for shelter, many are used, many are not, for what reason i may never know. it is hard to hear other voices if you are constantly speaking..........

on and on and on and on........

some new pick-tures that are going down the street into branch, a whiskey bar. there are more but these are my favorites so far.......

three oh

a pair of 3' planing fish, one for da grizz and one for camper........thanks for the blanks memo

yup...................

the time for rational thought has passed..................

the price is high.......

but rewarding of long nights and quiet hours, the gentle squeeze of my spine, a reminder of age and lack of grace, an extended string of overdue remedies and past due payments, contradictory rhetoric not withstanding, sometimes language is a heavy handed disguise to hide behind, reminiscent of the grand psychoanalytical holiday, all hallows eve, bring out yer dead.................

want sum nuh.........

grateful i am for the chance to share my life with such an amazing person, grateful that he has changed my life more than he will ever know, grateful for the warmth from his hand on my leg when he is standing next to me. i can learn more about living in one hour with him than anywhere or with anyone else, if i can keep my mind quiet enough.........
