photo voting

i took 14 photos for the 'day in the life of asheville' photo project that happened Friday and Saturday. dozens of people are submitting photos to a flickr group and local judges will pick a set to be printed and hung at the Pack Library. you can submit 15 photos to be judged & pick one as your favorite that automatically gets hung. i have one i'm leaning towards but if anybody cares to opine anonymously on this poll or anywhere else please do. you can vote unlimited times.

here are the photos - http://flickr.com/photos/skippyhaha/sets/72157604627950112/



i have until april 23 to decide if i should enter, and thank you!

self portrait 2005

speaking of black widows, here's a fingerpainting from 2005 that i called 'self portrait.' the hourglass is full of marriage license, the marriage was 5 years ago today. at this point i had never seen a real black widow. since then i have seen dozens. i think karma sent them to live with me.

Kali-Yuga

how far will we go on monday
i asked cause our speed had increased
that germ of transcendence is
always within us, at least

i know we’ve got to keep on going
a fast car won’t ever rust
and these hands of invisible organic forces
are pushing and pulling us

it’s a long way
through Kali-yuga
age of iron
cooled in the ocean
and mountains
are for exploring

devils have danced on my doorstep
and angels have sung in my yard
wise men are hiding in the mountains
while most of us are working too hard

speed is our last great invention
we race and we roll to arrive
by mineral, by mountain, by magnet and meteor
it’s hard enough to just get by

it’s a long way
through Kali-yuga
age of iron
cooled in the ocean
and the mountains
are for exploring

relief

stopped at a red light on the way to the dermatologist this morning, the four cars behind me smashed into each other in a crushed metal and plastic chain reaction. thank you to the driver of the volvo behind me for hitting your brakes hard enough to not hit me.

my moles are beauty marks! keep em covered & come back in 2 years. he didn't even mention my bruises.

the man who signed in ahead of me at the office was born in 1912. he drove himself to the doctor in a spotless new honda civic and walked tall into the office unaided. he was pretty wrinkled, i think he was there for botox.

i went to pick up my computer with the repaired power supply and the computer at the computer repair shop was broken so they couldn't process credit cards and want me to send a check instead.

it's freezing cold but there was no snow.

bruised & battered

my move yesterday was a success. i drove a 26 foot truck around these winding asheville streets, even backing out of a narrow lane, without hitting anything. two incredibly amazingly nice friends helped me move all my big heavy furniture to my new place, and my arms and legs feel dead and are covered in scrapes, scratches and bruises the size of dill pickles. my back is in a constant state of clench. the toilet in the new place is still a hole in the floor.
i have a few moles i want a dermatologist to look at and say 'beauty marks' so i called to make an appointment back in december and my insurance is so lame they wouldn't let me go to any just any doctor, so i have to go to a male doctor & the earliest appointment they had was for four months later - 815 tomorrow morning. it's supposed to be snowing tomorrow morning. and i am covered in bruises. but i am also fluorescent white which i think is a good time to see the dermatologist about sun spots.
