"Human thought races around the jungle in a frantic effort to find a way out.
Spiritual awareness stands quietly on a hilltop overlooking the jungle, from
which it clearly sees the way out."

wonder


"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder… he needs the
companion-ship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in."

-Rachel Carson, 1965



update: logan still pulls on ruby's tail and still thinks it's really funny when ruby shows her teeth and growls.

I Love...( another page from "the MEAD 2003")



Grocery store tuna * good peaches * the sound of fountain soda in a glass * pizzaaa * the song "At Last" * Loud black people * sundried tomatoes in a caesar salad * mixing salad dressings * talking to strangers * grumpy old men * thinking my dead father enlightened me into an awareness I don't try to understand * drinking from a straw * Going out alone * good head * the names Love, Lady and Stella * my dreams * sleeping to dream * the smell of: Italian food, gas, horseradish, a man after a shower, a man that smells like detergent and not cologne, watermelon and salt water * getting pummeled by waves * spelling phonetically where I don't know how to spell * being touched on my face * getting my hair pulled in sex * being winked at * mullets * listening to live good singing * bands with lots of members and magical musical fusion * the word "magical" * reggae * freestyle * cleaning other people's messes (jackie watson's house) * snooping * eaves dropping * people watching * dancing * being led in dancing * maCGyver * blunt people * saying "fat" like it's spelled with four "f's" * my bf MLE who's my "Fat" with fower "f's" fower everrr * writing * rolling tobacco * cheap wine * forgetting about something really great and then remembering it again later down the road * forgetting about someone really great and then seeing them again ;)

A page out of 100 leaves in a MEAD from 2003...

I ms.



what i wouldn't give for a big plate of greasy diner eggs & bacon with mozzarella sticks.........and emily on the side...toasted ;)

If i picketed for any purpose it would be to smoke in diners again. my sign would say: "I'm gonna whine here till i can smoke and dine here!!!" ... and living 2000 miles from diners now is NOT going to stop me from doing what's right. Even stopping smoking which god forbid i do (i don't smoke enough to quit) will not deter me from what just may be my purpose here, my calling, my ticket to a footnote in the star ledger news.

Tour de FAT









~~~~ Tour de FAT festival today ~~~~ .. check anything main stream about you at the gate. if you want to fit in don't look like anybody else. dress up but don't "be" anything in particular. just try to freak/deck yourself out and let your alter-ego take the reigns. freaks and geeks, BIKES and tykes and beer and dancing to the music that's haunting and almost hard to not let your body go to. did i mention the freaks? i love freaks! one guy was wearing a police hat, unbuttoned collard shirt with the sleeves cut off and short black spandex with what appeared to be a set of dentures hanging from a belt right in front of his "hoo hoo", and he kept thrusting his denture draped "hoo hoo" all around at random. so good. logan danced just like the drunks and showed off his belly button. he really is the cutest baby alive. his face is the face of an angel and i see how everyone looks at him and wonder if people are wondering how did that cherub come outta that? one of those inexplicable phenomenons. tour de FAT, a tour after my own heart.

logan pulls on ruby's tail now all the time. she gets away quick and then he falls over and u'd think he'd get a clue...not when he's cracking up though. poor ruby. i think she might start drinking. the boy is a wild one and his smile is the reason god gave him to me. while seemingly doing everything wrong in my selfish years, drunk ALL the time, i must have done something right at some point to get him.
