another portrait swap

this time with the talented josh pincus

sfg: rock legend

sugar frosted goodness's prompt was rock legend.

this was my first thought that popped into my head.

week 15: juggle

im not really sure what to say on this one.

i feel as if someone is constantly throwing in another thing and i know that eventually im going to drop one.

ifn: smaller and smaller

breast size jokes aside, this is more about what i hear (between the lines) of when miserable people interact, or try to at any rate.

this post is brought to you by a bic ball point pen, jeanettes tracing paper, a lack of fucking around with it in photoshop, overheard bar conversations, vodka and cranberry juice, budwiser, and the letter... um... well fuck it ill go with Q..

ifn: war

that one actually shut her up, and for once in that relationship she was without a comeback.

someone get this walking carpet out of my way

and yet another.

chewie is that you?

another starwars drawing i did yesterday.

not sure why i drew it but there you go... chewbacca.

a is for...

amos... tori amos.

tori and i have had an odd relationship.

for the longest time she was someone i had to listen to while i was trying to get closer to my girlfriend at the time.

and then i heard her.

outside of any relationship, it was just her and me a walkman and a trailer...

and fell in love.

run, luke, run

growing up i always wanted to be luke skywalker.

it wasnt until my early teens that i scrapped that one and would have traded it all to be han.

yes i am a geek.

what i dont understand is why luke never, over the course of the original trilogy, never got a haircut...

im going to go out there and say t hat it was the first omen of a crappy prequel trilogy.

It's still a mystery to me

just an excerpt from a conversation i had with someone earlier today.

week 14: wedding

i have reached that age where all of my friends are getting married, and next, i assume that ill be going to baby related stuff.

since im single and usually only half-remembered as a friend in many cases im relegated to the freak/single/ black-sheep table.

so we usually make the most amount of noise, steal all the wine and make the bride and groom do champagne shots...

basically we are the table to go to for fun.

that and i am really good at making drunken toasts.

go to their respective sites, they are uber-talented women and deserve your praise.

momentum

i remember thinking that we didnt even hold hands when we went out anymore, and realizing that it was only the momentum of the last three years that was keeping us together at that point.

it ended a few days later.

randomness

just standing in line at the store today.

a perfect example of the weird random shit that goes though my head

week 13: momentum

momentum is the driving force behind my life these days

ive said it before and ill say it again,

inertia is a bitch.

i wasnt going to post this, i try and stay away from politics and to be honest im not exactly sure of how to be express what im trying to communicate. really i dont want to come across as more of an asshole that i actually am.

so ill do my best.

i think that aside from the tragic loss of innocent human lives in the attack, the compounded tragedy is how the powers that be have used this incident to manipulate us into believing their justifications to basically do whatever they want, from restricting our freedoms by destroying the constitution to waging imperialistic wars over sovereign nations that disagree with us, pose no actual treat to us, but happen to be sitting on a vast wealth of resources while ignoring actual threats to our safety.

and that, i feel, is the greatest injustice to the memories of those souls who lost their lives six years ago.

ifn: on the merits of letting go

and i know all of this sounds stupid but, among other things, the second i let go, is the second i lose whatever i have left of her, and i dont think that im able to deal with that.

Tell me do you think itd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see Im in no shape for driving
And anyway Ive got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best Id ever had
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you dont expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
She took my heart
Theres only one thing I couldnt start

hopefully temporary/tattoo

and we're there on haight, waiting for hours while she gets her stars.

and its like shes been tattooed on my heart as surely as the stars on her waist were.

i had hoped, i had, do wish that this would have faded, passed with time but i still find myself trying not to wonder where she is.

its been five years since we've spoken and i still miss the way she smells.

well in the long run at least i can hope that this is hopefully temporary.

hopefully temporary/another alphabet

this is so awesome

omfg! this so awesome! someone actually used my art for a post secret!

its funny too because i originally was going to be using that same drawing as a post secret entry of my own but decided not to.

to see the original go here. http://52fridays.blogspot.com/2007/05/remember-v2.html

and who ever sent this one, thank you, i feel honored.

patrick brennan

week 12: alphabet

just the first thing that came to mind when i read the prompt last night.

week 11: visitor

sorry for the lateness, ive been uber-busy with all the work ive been doing, that and my main computer has gotten sick somehow and is currently being operated on.

its when im alone, or asleep, that all those memories and dreams that id rather not have visit me.

and i seem to be alone or asleep more often than not.
