i so need to get the photographs developed from my exploding crusifix mobile. i will definely try and put a few up here if i can (they are currently on celluloid)

-




i hate the smell of painted walls but what do murals smell like fresh?

That's awesome! I'm glad you have a reason to be happy enough to explode... though I hope you don't.

Is this a real journey, a metaphorical journey, or just a fantasy?

I suppose it doesn't matter; the beauty of the sentiment exists one way or another.

Give Reagan an extra hug for me. She needs a friend like you right now.

I think the more friends you have, the greater your chances are of being alone. If all the people in the world were your friends, how often would you get to see them? How well would you know them?

Anyway, you only feel alone now. When you are no longer alone, you'll be wishing you had some free time I am sure... to do things you used to do etc....

Do something wild... like collect a huge pile of leaves with one of your friends, and jump in!

just saw your comment in photojoe's page...no shit - i'm ready to tear my hair out. my images look different on the 3 pc monitors and 1 mac monitor and my powerbook (where i do the bulk of my post) i can pull up an image and look at it on 3 "calibrated" (by eye not by spyder) monitors side by side and it looks darker/lighter on all freakin' three.

productive tired is good, frustrated tired no es bueno.

cheers!

It's always a great fealing when your exhausted from doing something that you love, it's also great when by the time your head hits the pillow your out for the count

tito looks like my uncle alejandro

Viva Tito Puente'!

You and Reagan are so unbelievably cute!

some people just have more confidence then others. or they have just drank more alcohol.

because they want to feel the heat with somebody?

Yes I agree ... I cannot live with my Mac's and now that I got and iPod, I will add that to the list.

Its good news to hear that Reagan will be coming to CA to to visit you soon. Twelve days really isnt a long time and it will be here before you know it.

haha it looks like the tree is giving birth to a cat

Rawr.

I didn't think that there was such a think as 'crippling' anymore! Hence I found this post difficult. To cripple somebody is to permanently disable them. All knowledge is dependant and everything is flux ? therefore any kind of knowledge must not necessarily cripple you. And if you only think that you know something I presume that you have some awareness of the possibility that the inversion of your knowlege being true, or of some other factor being the case instead. If this situation is the case then it is what you do not know that is hurting you and not what you think you know.

But you knew this, poet...
"He sees words inside out as if he did not share the human condition, and as if he were first meeting the word as a barrier as he comes towards men. Instead of first knowing things by their name, it seems that first he has a silent contact with them, since, turning towards that other species of thing which for him is the word, touching them, testing them, fingering them, he discovers in them a slight luminosity of their own and particular affinities with the earth, the sky, the water, and all created things."
Jean Paul Sartre - 'What is Writing'
This makes me doubt my writing because I do utilise words and I write like a prose writer. And so do you I think. What I mean to give you is silence. [dangers of silence: stupidity and absence of thought. Resolution for this: literature, time, knowledge, effort]

Anyway, enough of the Sartraism. It helps me when need to cut myself off from the big bad world on my own terms; solice in mean truths, Secrets, Coldness, Compassion. But returning to your propostion I insist that you learn more, or indeed the subject must. If you ask questions you might not get an honest response so perhaps like the war photograph who is after the really powerful pictures, you need to get exceptionally close. Or, (and this is the outcome that I most often demand from other people and which you referenced recently) your peers could look to themselves to confirm what you think you know and console you accordingly or put you in the right.

I'll do my best.

i) we don't even know each other and yet I like you and respect you a lot, as must do a whole lot of other peopel. I think that you are very intelligent and should not doubt that FACT ever but just punch yourself in the face when you're being dumb (does this ever happen? I don't know) or something instead.
ii) you are not insane and do not seem to be. At all.
iii) your hairdo is dead good haha and looks great in ALL of your magnificent sets and most of your photos but I suspect that like me, you don't try hard enough to win a great number of compliments about it. Having bed hair all day is sexy, (ok this i am saying because I hope it is true).
iv) most people are worse than you. This goes for everyone, so it's alright to say. I don't know how this works. That's why I'm Dada. (I'm a surealist so that I can appriciate good humour.)
v) you will have perfect and >beautiful< children as long as you are nice to them.
vi) the other two girls in that photo just scare me.
vii) there isn't anybody else here on SG who I would like to meet face to face more.

Edited for point seven which i'd thought of but forgotten to write down.

Don't take my advice. Be a (happy) dragon.
And thanks to JK Rowling in ten years time dragons will be the most researched lizard ever. Result.
