Lost: Man's Sex Appeal
I do not know exactly when it happened, or exactly why it happened, but it seems to me I have lost my appeal to women. I realize that this statement can possibly come across with a mild after-taste of arrogance, in that in order to lose the appeal, one would have to have it in the first place; I assure you, arrogance is the last of my afflictions. I suppose it is debatable as to whether or not I...
New Heading
I worked on, and posted a new header for my humble blog abode. Look upward, and tell me what you think of the change. The picture is of Manu Bay, in Raglan, New Zealand. I’d appreciate comments or suggestions, so feel free.
I am Displaced
I am displaced, I am a lost soul in a lost generation, born 20 years too late. I belong in an era long since passed, a time I never got to see, but strangely enough miss as if I had. I watched “Almost Famous” again last night while I was waiting to fall asleep and it really hit me hard. I belong in that movie, I can hear my fingers sliding on guitar strings, smell the dusty tour...
Things I Just Do Not Get
Unemployment in Helena, Montana coupled with a near total lack of anyone to hang out with has lead me to think about a lot of strange things. Whether being in the post office, Safeway, or just sitting around my house, I began to find a whole lot of things that I just do not understand about the world. I guess I’ve had more time than usual to look into things lately, and the more things I...
Forger
Ok, I’m addicted to that Picasso thing. Tonight I got the idea to try forging an Actual Picasso using only the silly little pre-defined shapes. The two I tried to do tonight, were “Femme” as a warmup, and then the amazing “Dove of Peace” as the true test of my forging abilities using only a mouse, and the “eyebrow” category of the Picasso toy. Please...
Picasso-ish
I went to this site the other day called “Mr. Picasso Head” and essentially it lets you use a variety of pre-made shapes and features, and get creative and create your own Picasso type paintings of faces and such. At any rate, here are my three favorite’s that I did, in order of appearance: “Quiet the Voices,” “Opposites Inside,” and “Blinking...
The Opposites Inside Me
I thought a lot today. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, sat still, and let any and everything pour through my brain. What I began to slowly realize while filtering through the thoughts that cluttered my head was that I am truly a man of opposites. I am not entirely sure how this came about, when the shift began, or if I was even conscious of the choices I made that lead to this state of an...
Efecto De la Mariposa
Las cosas en mi vida necesito mas pierdo el mas rapido. La gente que toca mi vida mas empujo lejos primero. Cuando lo cambie en el catalizador del destino? Cuando me olvide como ser necesitado por esos necesito? Soy el ala quebrada de una mariposa quebrada aleteo solamente. Mi lucha revuelve el polvo que cambia vida por siempre. Soy el efecto de la mariposa, el fuego de todas mis acciones me...
The Duality of Interest
I woke up today and found myself in a quagmire. If you’re not really familiar with the word, it’s probably a good thing, cause it’s pretty archaic and to be honest I felt a little lame using it. At any rate, it was the only word to properly express how I felt when I lifted my head off my pillow, which by the way needs to be replaced with a brand new king-sized one from Costco....
