Good morning... ladies and gents.

Although it is 12:58, there is good reason for me greeting "good morning" to you all...

I have just woken up after sleeping on my own couch last night from a long existential conversation with one of my greatest and best friends, Sir Campbell. It was a conversation that carried from the afternoon into the early hours of the morning. I think many things were accomplished last night, although there was no physical proactive action taken, there were certainly a variety of topics, laughter, and emotion grounded and mixed like a mother fuckin' margarita.
Notions upon notions, synaptic transmission of thoughts between the senses, a trade of experience and reflection.Whether it is talking about the reminiscent fucked up hierarchy high school years or listening to a transient auditory experience, or even discussing the prospect of getting a pet turtle... that is all life after death would be for me.


Everything seems to be changing. Everywhere. But, we have each other, the people of the world. Times may be perceived as irreversible in the depths, we just must appreciate the horrors in life as well as the most infinitesimal beauties that are present to us every fucking day.

I think I have been watching a good amount of Eastbound & Down. And on that note, here is a painting and a little villanelle for your thoughts...
