older
the weather is changing and my neck is crazy.
nurse nancy says that colder weather makes a lot of things worse.
these changes will only get more noticeable as we get older and saggier and our muscles become more like string beans!
i keep trying different things like stretches and neck exercises and folding my pillow and sleeping upside down like a bat, but nothing works.
that's why i've made the executive decision to go to a goddamn chiropractor.
this decision feels epic but not as epic as the battle video above. shellbulet87, I concur, i hope they make many more movies just like this one.

one time
nancy and i went to seek out the declaration of independence. in the flesh.
we couldn't find it, so we went for a river walk.
instead we found a naked man.
he was gracious.
but still...

3 days, richmond
richmond was beautiful.
someone gave us a house and a dog so we were pretty much the happiest cousins
we were never scared, we just kept carving
stop it.
the richmond vibe - permanently chilled out on the porch
cousin, my heart

suspicious babies II
this weekend i was in a drugstore with a big bear and we were cooing at this sleepy baby draped over it's moms back in a sleeping sack.
we were making faces and waving and trying to be best friends, generally amusing ourselves, when suddenly the baby, who has been regarding us warily, makes a sinister motion; slowly moving it's pointer finger across it's neck while it glares at us.
"im going to fucking murder you" the baby said.
we were like, huuh?
the baby continues to make harmful gestures.
it's mom says snuggly things from the front of the backpack.
unclear on how to proceed, we buy big red chewing gum.

Manda Bala
It's drizzle city in New York and I'm feeling a little wandery to a particular song that's best played loud in gray; preferably in my big brown bed...
Or in a JC movie, where tambourines and mono-harmonies cause everyone to be filled with goodwill towards mankind. While blasting this song in my cubicle today, the boss called and suggested that I order coffee and dessert for our department. The love is spreading. Get in on it

up up and away
there are seven of us in all, here are four having the best night ever at grandma's. jesse and nancy have already figured out about being ornery and are sticking out their tongues, but i'm still learning. obviously JB is the most committed hero.
family is so important and so strange. there's so much love and maybe equal parts of the extra - frustration, feuding, women with hands on hips and pursed lips... but fortunately we only keep pictures of the nicest parts.
the hygiene hypothesis
"in improving our hygiene, we are also excluding organisms that may be important for making us well"
query: why don't people in developing countries have asthma or severe allergies?
speculation: HOOKWORMS!

manute BOL!
jessie's birthday dinner was full of delight and wonder, especially when Manute Bol showed up!
he was once the tallest player in the NBA, especially when he stood next to his teammate, Muggsy Bogues, who is maybe an inch taller than me and still holds the record as the smallest player in the NBA.
when i walked by him i did not even make it up to his butt.
then i felt bad for contributing to the spectacle of his height.
then i wondered about the biological implications of love-taking and love-making when you are a candidate for the tallest man in the entire world.
check out his sweet axe

"i'm giving you my love"
thaaaaank you
"i'm giving you my love"
thaaaaank you
celebration
on monday we celebrate both cereal and christopher columbus's birthdays. this will involve costumes and swords and giving one another smallpox.
(have you ever google imaged "smallpox"? i always want it to be funny but it's not, it's dead fucking serious)
i have spent the week trying to celebrate cereal: in the office, in the music, in the pants, other. she's turning 26 but i met her when she was 11. she used to look like this:
(hair in bun)
Jessie was sort of too cool for us to be friends in middle school, but other than her bun this is the first thing that i knew about her: she had a cat named Freddy, and when the internet was first invented they gave it to us at Eastern Middle School, in the form of First Class Accounts which one day would become email, and you had the ability to profile yourself within First Class, and Jessie wrote that her life goal was to walk through a jail with her cat Freddy. I thought that was the coolest thing that had ever been written, it's still pretty amazing even now, but what I like best about that profile is that now Jessie really does walk through jails, but she also gets paid for it.
Jessie has always been a visionary.
Girlfriend, it's been real, it's been fun, go get at 26

my neighbor says
1) my neighbor says that dogs with smushy faces don't get enough air and therefore
a) need to be kept on a strict diet
b) are prone to extreme farting
if you have trouble breathing, are you more prone to fart in the human world as in the dog world? this might explain life

the wheel II
in high school there was this girl a few years older - her name was jenny and she was very small, save for one normal sized head that appeared a bit larger in comparison to her slender physique.
people called her "little body big head"
she was invited to prom by this boy who mistakenly thought her nickname was
"little body, give head"
misaligned expectations are the stuff of high comedy, particularly when you are in high school and the treachery is endless. the trajectory of misguided expectations or the fall out over unexpected change is not as gossiply radiant in your 20s. which is to say that some disappointments get easier but some make you fall that much harder.
this morning i woke up so happy, knowing it was the kind of happy that was really temporary. this is true of any happiness, or anything that one can feel or see or do.
so where does one turn? obviously to 24 hour party people.

thanks, steve, everything's better now

this morning i sat down next to a sleeping baby in a puffy purple dress. she immediately sprang awake. sometimes she would rest her head on me and sometimes we sang about the wheels on the bus. sometimes it also seemed like she might have smallpox but i generally was willing to overlook it. i kind of want one of those. not smallpox. not like today, but maybe in like 2 years, ok?
