she's zombie-like and i love her.

best album of '07? "heavy deavy skull lover" by the warlocks. hands down. they've changed their direction, and change is good.



got to see these guys live.

what’s the difference between me and you?

my hands are cold.

she's got electric boots, a mohair suit.

i'm kind of obsessed with buh-buh-buh-bennie & the jets lately...



but nothing beats this:



check the percussionist and the back-up singers. classic.

and somehow these led me to this:



trust me, it's worth it for the last 20 secs.

tryin' hard to look like gary cooper.

super-duper.

love or death?

aw knuts.

remember that cute little nazi polar bear that won the hearts of millions and made it okay even for jews to say they like something about germany again?



well, knut's growing up fast and getting less cute by the minute. and apparently, as can be seen in the photos below, he's gay.





and the craigslist ad would read:

"single GWM, bear top, like my meat raw. looking for an older, hairy/masculine handler. if you bite me, i'll bite back ;)"

so it goes.

how soon is now?

if you blinked, it's already passed you by.

i learned a lot over the long, long year of 2006. about life, love, loss, lack-of-hydration -- many, many "L's."

i almost died. twice. the first time figuratively, the second time literally.

i've learned that regardless of bombs, technology, and the fucked-up egos of humanity, nature is still the most powerful force on the planet. and, as such, deserves respect.

i've learned that, yes, you do need to "keep your eye on the prize," but you'd better keep the other eye on the getting-there. because if you don't, you never will get there. and if you're not enjoying the process, then the prize probably isn't worth it.

i've learned that in life there needs to be "downs." because if there weren't, the "ups" wouldn't be... well... up.

i've learned that the only thing i know for certain is each present moment as it occurs. before it happens and once it's passed, i know nothing of it. because i'm in the middle of another moment. and thinking about the moments gone and yet to come just keeps you going in circles.

it's 2007. time to cast off my loathsome inheritance. time to divide and conquer with a confident smile.

how soon is now? i'm standing in it.
