my house (1983)

sunday

his breath smells like incense
like herbs burned at church
his eyes look like hot coals
with rubies they burst
she brings him the paper
he looks at the pictures
the quiet of morning
slaps plaster on fractures
a wink and a laugh
and a prayer for the fixtures
keep breathing away
and the past slips to future

here i am -

rock me like a baby hurricane



and, check it out - they did it again! guadalajara joe made another video with ALO from their new Roses & Clover album



tricky funk time!

i saw this movie & i think it's sad & all the stories are true and i believe healthcare in the US is awful, i've seen it firsthand with a few years of crap healthnet hmo garbage group in-network of clown doctors not authorized to help or heal, i have a different policy now that i hope i never have to call upon and a newfound aversion to pharmy western medicine in general, and think at least though national healthcare would be better.

i don't know why the i is lowercase. lots of posters and signs have that - a lowercase i in the middle of a capitalized word. why.

fun festival game

flute or pipe?

playin with crayins

funniest picture ever?

drive by rock n roll

the drive by truckers sold out the orange peel here in asheville last night. it was nonstop rock.


this was at the end of a blistering 7 song encore.

rock n roll means well but it can't help tellin young boys lies.

hungover

fill with swill
piss dark brown
spirits up
burning down
leaves a gash
a fuzzy head
wants to stuff
with cheesy bread

nachos with sour cream

oldie but goodie

focus

it's easy to be overwhelmed
by the hundreds of things you could do
just pick one and work til you're done
and then go for number two

some polaroids

this guy was on the stoop when i moved in

holden a joint & a stack of willie o. johnson books

firefly

independence day eve

plump buttons

group art

freedom!

4th of july 1983

i still don't know what is right - carin and me at the beach or carin and i at the beach - carin and i were at the beach, but it's a picture of carin and me - right? they're both right? they're both wrong? happy 4th of july!

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

should've been my grandmothers

smashing pumpkins first of 9 shows at the orange peel, lined up down the block 10 minutes before doors

brian & megan

it's all uphill from here

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
