my brother painted this portrait of bob marley a few years ago by looking at a picture upside down so it was all just abstract colors and shapes.

meow

i don't mind dumb cats
it's the smart ones are nasty

insomnia, an anti-nursery rhyme

up from the day before
the sun rose & birds sang
like you'd been sleeping
but the bed is still made
the garbage men came
the neighbors went to work
through the darkest stretch
scavenged
for spurts of adrenaline
while everything slept
was racing
disrupted cycle
bitten fingers
bloody whites
stumbling down mounting to-do lists
on a too fast hamster wheel
the surface and the source
giving each other
synchronized
indian sunburn

barring tragedy, this is my least favorite day of the year. the days are just getting shorter and shorter, the fireflies will start to fade away, it's almost like black thursday



hope everybody gets outside to appreciate all this light

best video ever!

"roses and clover" title track from ALO's new CD - video made by guadalajara joe!

nursery rhymes

cotton candy thunderbolt
hasn't cried in a hundred days
at the end of his rope's a sailboat
ready to float him away

mopsy topper rufflekins
always plays but never wins
at the end of her rope's a speedboat
ready to zip her away

happy father's day!

i hope you go out there and fire another 72!
