It’s official. My nephew makes me extra photogenic. Probably cause he’s so cute.
Words, but no subject.
I don’t use this blog for any other reason that to get out what I need to get out, it serves no cohesive purpose. I use it to work out issues and express my opinion on things that would get me stoned if I put them on facebook. I feel as though I have writer’sContinue reading “Words, but no subject.”
It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream—making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams.

If I was going to draw a picture of what’s going on up there, it probably would look like that.
