This is legit. I have the hard copy on my desk at work. Next time you think about engaging in any one of these “high-risk habits”, please think to use a substitute listed above. I think these suggestions are something we can all get on board with.
today’s lesson
well, as it turns out, something can make me smile today. maybe it’s a sign?
sigh. i’ll live with it, whatever that means.
The original is great, but this version makes me feel something completely different. If I was to take all of my perfect moments, memories, and feelings and roll them into a song, the outcome might be something like this.
What a hauntingly beautiful cover.
Retro posters for the movie ‘Up’. I really like these posters. I’d love more things to be advertised this way. This is the world I want to live in. But then again, I really love retro-futurism. It must have started with the Carousel of Progress at Disney World. No wonder I really love shopping for candy at Cracker Barrel. Ah…simpler times.
life would be so much easier if i knew exactly which bridges to burn, which bridges to cross, and which bridges had a troll living below them.
wake
the box is pale blue
smooth
and inside
a plastic looking man
who i swear i’ve never met
the room is filled with strangers
all who seem to remember
the day i was born
or who tell me
“you’ve got your father’s eyes”
the lights are too bright
and my head is pounding
across the room
my mother is nodding
maybe she understands something i don’t
and that’s all i can see
through the water in my eyes
circa 2003
drawing love
when I was six
I drew love
like it was easy
two stick people
smiling up from their home
on a piece of construction paper
little lines meant
for little arms connected
to show they were holding hands
a crooked red heart
carefully shaded above their heads
because love was always red
when I was four
I drew love
like it really was
just the crooked heart
heavy red marks
bursting out of the lines
