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!

RIP mr. wizard

fittest

only the strong survive
and some of the strong
get cut down in their prime
and all of the strong
get weak
and die
so teach all you can
while you're able
and learn it all over again

they all said yes and she said no!

the littlest triolo!

major congratulations to erin & chris on last week's arrival of casey!


from this

sprung this total cuteness!

old lady

she thinks i'm a
bad influence
is jealous of time spent
but i win her over in person
like it's a mission

i know they're played out

memorial day

went to hear derek trucks band at the visulite on saturday and was amazed at how good he was. playing with some funk soul bruthas, he was calm, cool & collected & totally in control while doing mind-blowing stuff with his giant monster hands, making the guitar look like a kid's toy.

(found this picture on google images)

next day went to lake norman for lots of holiday cheer and a mini modeling shoot with these friendly folks


also at brunch sunday lisa's silverware was sticking together magnetically for some reason

this is your brain on drugs

happy memorial day everybody!

not longing haiku 77-83

sell it to people
who don't know the meaning of
words you are saying

make them buy two in
case this breaks an extra can't
hurt to have these days

keep them in fear and
you keep the high hand and you
rule all this damned land

doesn't matter your
name you're the one i will blame
when anything breaks

try as you might to
keep it alright the screws will
fall down to the floor

how do you lose a
bunch of trivial pursuit
cards? i don't get it

fat rubbery it
all bounces off but the ones
that cut deep stayed deep
