Welcome to a house, burnt down.

At one point, they called me "downstairs"

Here sat the table with people so cheery
[a kitchen-once-was, now vaguely eerie]

Pretty neat view from the porch

Rust from Flame//Ashes to Dust

This was Brother's room...
but he never cared for it much anyway.

Value is fleeting...

a question:

what ever happened to honesty?

come now, world - let me learn from your mistakes.
i just want to develop, and one day have errors of my own.

[in all selflessness - i'd rather not share with yours.]

so please:
teach me,
tell me,
what happened to honesty?

Things I love about after-Thanksgiving.

1] Now that its over... i officially have permission to listen to as much X-mas music without being labeled and/or judged.

Let me bless you,

there is this fantastic website.

Its one of those smart radio dealies where you give thumbs up//thumbs down on songs and [through an intricate process involving some form of divination] predicts what songs your subconscious really wants to listen to.

If you type in a Christmas song - you'll get a whole holiday mix.
Ah man, life is good right now.

People I've enjoyed in the last few minutes:

Ella, Frankie, Crosby, Cole, Pres, and then some.

I've also hear about fourteen renditions of winter wonderland,
and still love it.

Oh, the holidays are here alas.

An Obsersvation of the Turkey Day.

I have a question for you,
whats the big deal with thanksgiving?

Once a year - you meet up with all your family to make relatively unexciting food in honor of buckle-adorned top hats and squanto's corn growing techniques.

If you know me well enough to have grown a year in my presence, you may be familiar with my day-of-birth wishing ideologies. To me it seems ridiculous to wish someone 'happiness' but once a year. That other person, assuming they are of any consequence at all to you, should have some idea that you hope them the best daily. Same with Thanks-Day. Why would you ever wait once a year to introspect upon your appreciative side? I mean, sure, it does allot some time of intentionality - but regardless... really america?

It saddens me to see people for a once in three-sixty-five time period being gracious... then forget about it and move right on the early bird sale the morning after.

oh turkey-day.

i am thankful for the creative mind behind this tee-shirt.
