A friend is selling all 8,600+ CD's in his record collection and it has prompted me to listen to some older records in my collection. I've been obsessed with music since I was 10 and I'm going to be 45 this year. It's strange to see stuff I own and love listed for sale in such a stark way. It's like a small death. Times are changing. I'm listening to this and thinking about past and present.
I have forgotten just how long it takes to do things. Getting out of bed, cleaned and changed seem like nothing, right? Being healthy, we take this for granted. With cancer, suddenly even these basic tasks are not so simple. And before realizing, it's already time for lunch! Then the cycle repeats. It literally is like pushing a rock up a hill every day.
I carefully laid my jacket on the chair nearest the door and nervously checked the pocket to see that the tape recorder was still running. The ringing excitement of eavesdropping hummed though my delicate body. A great armed mass of darkness fish was approaching. I had the girl, the records, and the jeweled knife, but he had the time machine.
We moved my sister into hospice last week. It's very upsetting to watch the way cancer slowly robs a body of its life. Everything you think you know is wrong. Everything you believe will be challenged. It won't make sense and won't happen gracefully. You think you know what's best for the person you love who is going through this, but you don't. You feel helpless because there isn't anything you can do to fix it this time.

It's just an itch beneath the skin
I can't get it out or seal it in
I can't dislodge the need to scratch it
Screaming from it's root
It's an echo inside my head
A need to say what can’t be said
It's the nerve tattoo
Such a bad rash
Spiteful and divine
But thats OK
It doesn’t matter anyway
It's still those with the least to say
That will be heard…
There's no difference any more between you and me
I've made a habit of lying between your teeth
And all I want is all I need
And now I need almost everything
So don't pretend it's better than before
I count on you to always need me more than I need myself
You're a ghost without a past
You never died
And I'm the frozen bloons that hold you terrified
And all I see is all from me
And I can see almost everything
So don't pretend it's better than before
I count on you to always need me more
When the ties that bind are totally unwound
And the gravity that pulls you to the ground gets weaker every day 'til you can't find the floor
You can walk or you can fly away from me
I will call and beg for blood every other week
'Cause all I want is all I need
And I know you gave me everything
But don't pretend it's better than before
I count on you to always need me more than I need myself
Don't pretend it's better than before
I count on you to always need me more
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. was teaching a class in basic hieroglyph deciphering while playing in a pick up band with the well known singer songwriter Albert Einstein. His hit "Oh Dear What can the Matter Be?" was barely on the charts when they found each other in a dive bar with a very shallow pool and no board. It was impossible to start in the deep end this way which suited them both. Even with a lining that was garish in bright light, they found a way to coordinate in more ways than one. This was before hats had gone out of fashion and haircuts were just coming into their own. That sounds ruder than I'd hoped but still falls short in cold water. There was the expected pile up just before closing time and the best bits were the first to go save for the hidden gems at the hem line.

It's difficult to transcenddentalmedication during a root canal when the elastic on one of your socks suddenly fails. It's also nearly impossible to avoid the draft when you are already on your way to Canada and the bartender has just refilled the keg. Even if you are the right kind of horse (and who am I to say you aren't?), the buttermilk is going to spoil and no one will be able to tell the difference without a calculator. There is an upside to wearing a real herringbone jacket if you want cats to follow you around. #igerseastbay #igerssf #igerssv #unitedbyedit2 @unitedbyedit #iphonestreetportrait #mobileartistry #streetphotography #iphonestreetphotography #statigram #wearejuxt #stolenportraits #bandw #noirblanc #bwoftheday #mono #monochrome #bw_lover #blackandwhite #grayscale #bw #streetphoto_bw #streetwalker_069 #noir #bws_artist_usa #bnw_society #abstract #sundaybluesedit

Exploring the Jacksonville pioneer cemetery. Purported to be the oldest in Oregon. Cold, fun afternoon stomping in the mud. I'm at the infusion center this morning with my sister waiting for her next round of chemo to start.
To finish making the leopard suit I thought of using a pair of old gloves and modifying them with fur and claws. Because I write so poorly, I ended up with an odd clause and made very clumsy faux paws. Three English majors just leapt out of windows. ( Something to do with rank and an aversion to mock turtlenecks. ) It was hoped to be a controlled fall or at least a soft landing on colorful leaves. Sadly, they were all in basement apartments and seriously scuffed their knees. Scuffing does make shiny surfaces easier to paint which is a handy albeit impractical way to hide the bruising. You can stop hitting me now. Or not if you are really having fun. I'm off to reboot if I can find a good cobbler. Mmmmm, rhubarb and loganberry. Fifty shades of creme fraiche. #igerseastbay #igerssv #igerssf #unitedbyedit2 @unitedbyedit #streetportrait #iphonestreetportrait #mobileartistry #streetphotography #iphonestreetphotography #statigram #wearejuxt #stolenportraits #bandw #noirblanc #bwoftheday #mono #monochrome #bw_lover #blackandwhite #grayscale #bw #streetphoto_bw #streetwalker_069 #noir #bws_artist_usa #bnw_society #collage #streetphotocollage

Waiting to see the oncologist. I was sat on the other side of the room because there was a full house but this moment when my mom was talking with my sister while she looked out the window at the pond outside felt like an oasis. Maybe this is a good example of #ipresstheshutter when I see a moment that tells a story.
Resolve.

Wandering through Hargadine cemetery at sundown. I was attempting to take additional photos of some curious grave markers when I noticed four young does nearby. As I tried to get closer they noticed me and fled. That's when I realized someone watching me from her backyard. Turns out one of the does is injured and she was worried about that. We got to talking about my interest in cemeteries and wildlife. She told me about her father who was electrocuted in 1966 while working at a power substation.
How about a little Lisa Dalbello:
"a pretty little altar boy
daddy's little pride and joy
change the water into wine
touch yourself and you'll go blind
a warning signal from above
a place where sinners fall in love
they say that opposites attract
so very strange:
Black On Black
a virginal trembling hand
a frightened sacrificial lamb
from a blinding light a shadow falls
a code of silence quakes the halls
a whisper to a peircing scream
a love they say is frightening
they say that opposites attract
so very strange:
Black on Black
change the water into wine
touch yourself and you'll go blind
they say that opposites attract
so very strange:
Black On Black
I heard him say...I don't want to make you feel guilty
Are you a little short of breath?
some things are so sacred... like a leading question
the power of suggestion
like the face of danger
like the kindness of a stranger
like a Judas Kiss
like pleasure and a little pain
like a sinner or a holy man
a virginal trembling hand
immaculate seduction
absolute corruption
like a blasphemous contract
no turning back
like Black On Black
Black On Black
Black On Black"

jozer91: Wow I'm speechless!!!!! With the photo and the comment!!!
xenophaedja: @jozer91 cool. Seriously aggressive song. Liked the first album better.
jozer91: I can tell. i'm not too familiar with the artist though
xenophaedja: @jozer91 pretty obscure at best. Found the album in a cut out bin about 28 years ago.
jozer91: Wow! Very interesting!
Once, when I was travelling through time, I fell in love with a Russian princess.

A horse, a near sighted proctologist and a body building female impersonator go into a bar. No, I mean three guys in gorilla suits were walking towards the first tee. I'm sorry, yesterday, I was walking backwards trying to adjust to daylight savings time. Yeah, that was it. I couldn't fit my finger in the clock because it was analog, so I was stuck with hand me downs. It's only an hour but I get cold without regular winding.

My friends from France insist one egg is an oeuf, but I'm still hungry. Listening to rare b-sides of classics like "Peg of my Heart" by the Bela Lugosi orchestra is a great way to pass the time until the record skips. Not in a fey way, but missing meals nonetheless. It could be in a Link Wray, or a Fay Wray, but gorillas have a tough time with guitars in general, let along surfer punk riffs. Actually, one is well advised to not leave surfer punk riffs unsupervised.
Ever have one of those, "how many years has it been since I watched Cabaret" moments? I'm having one now. "Spoken: Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames and Messieurs
Ladies and Gentleman
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verstandnis
Why can't the world leben und leben lassen?

If you are walking backwards, and someone traveling at the speed of light gives you a wedgie , how long does it take to get your underwear straightened out? Ok, here's an easier one: where is my other sock? How do gophers know? Why does cheese taste good? These questions are connected.
