On The Cover

I’m pretty sure there are a lot of things I want to be when I finally figure out where I am and what I can do. I used to think the sky was the limit and then I learned from my family that the limit was even further away than that.
I know I like to think, I’m definitely a thinker. They may or may not be profound thoughts, but they are thoughts and I mostly enjoy them. I am really into fixing things as well. I like to think about different ways that the thing could be broken, then find the most efficient way to fix it, so I’m thinking as I’m working.
I like surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding but those aren’t things I can actively partake in on a regular basis because of the ol’ body.
I would love to be a ninja turtle, but not nowadays. I’m more into the radical and witty sarcasm of the 90’s half-shell, not the intensely violent and soulless modern warrior-turtle.
I know that writing is really something I can do for hours and still be forced to think about.

These!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not these!

The draw for me into advertising is weird because of the commercial nature of the industry. I used to be more nature nature.
The challenge that writing poses is infinite, which is cool and also daunting. I may really need to grab the turtle by the nuts and start writing ad copy like it’s my potential career.

life at it’s fine street

I just saw a turtle turning into a teenager, a mallrat making passes at a mourning dove, a purse jumping over the moon, and a teaspoon calling to tell you that it would be later rather than soon.

When my lips smack, a certain void of technological empty-brainedness echoes through my cranium and bounces out of my ears.  “Time to take the trash out” says my stomach.

The one thing “we” don’t do as “us” is the only thing that matters…get together.

“Let’s” join up over tea and crumpets and walk the spider webbed talk of life and literature, the daily news, the only way to sprint through the greetings and hurry to the meat of a conversation.

Making a purpose is the best way I know how to be.

Nobody assigned a purpose to me.

I found it.
