"You Could Be Happy"

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

In Bloom

Lazy Friday

It's not easy being green.

Where is your head?

As children we aren't expected to explain a bad mood. We are in a perpetual state of learning, everything is new. As adults we aren't expected to be in a bad mood. We have grown, we are educated, everything is constant. As emotional beings we aren't expected to hold back, we break , we bleed , we release, we heal. As productive members of society we are expected to wake up every morning, hold down a stable 8 hours a day if not more, build mini empires , and fill the norms in society. Today a coworker that obviously knows nothing about anyone in the worlds made a blanket statement about gay people, and how being around them made her ill, and I sat there quietly. I don't fall into the category. I guess I don't look the part, but would the dinner invitation still stand if she knew I was in love with a woman? If she knew I had been with my lover longer than she had known her husband? Take a second, think about what you say . Your close pal, or acquaintence just might be the person you have been taught to hate. If that's the case, then hate me, because I don't need now, and will never need anyone in my life that can justify hate so easily....
Hate doesn't touch us in life until we are taught, by those close to us, or by those trying to keep their distance from us. That's me when I was one year old. Big wondering eyes, waiting to learn everything the world held. I don't have children now because of everything I learned.....

Windows Down

Suck this space!

So I took a cyber stroll over to the old myspace counter tonight, ordered up a glass of blog and got that dumb ass technical error. myspace sucks. everytime i write something substantial to post over there, i guess between publish and post it gets caught in tiny tweeny hell, surrounded by hip hop, glitter bullshit puzzles and smiley faces and kids that call themselves "G"
so screw you myspace, i will only use you to surf music and as a dumping ground for things i hate...so there. (::pissing on my space...kicking dirt over it with my feet::)

"Just show me a moment that is mine
Its beauty blinding and unsurpassed
And i'll forget every moment that went by
That left me so half-hearted cuz i feltit so half-assed"

Pencil on canvas unfinished

This and that pt. 2

This and that

these are a couple of planter designs I have been working on for the Fredricksburg parade of homes. Smarmy rich folks need to spruce the joint up so they come see me...

I see the moon...

I was outside just a few moments ago with the dog. A front has moved in and the air is filled with the echo of fall. I'm sure it is just a momentary lull in the Texas heat, but the cool breeze wrapped around me like a pair of arms. I caught myself staring up at the huge moon, amazed that I am fortunate enough to walk outside and see another celestial body stare back at me. I really do think this world is wasted on people....we just don't understand what we are here for...

"Don't get me wrong, but there's things going on out there that you and I know nothing about....nothing about...."

Are you there ????????

If you think it applies to you, and you are reading what follows, then it probably does. Just a tempory musical lapse in time...


So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish,
how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Crocodile Tears

I must admit I was saddened to hear of the untimely demise of the crocodile hunter. Not only did he give me hours of brain numbing t.v. pleasure, he was also a good guy sticking up for the animals and what not. I guess if you gotta go, go out doing something cool like swimming with rays.

Silence please

This week has been a bit of a challenge. My boss, after I told him we needed more help, took it upon himself to hire a new kid. Great for me, the retail business shuffles through hundreds of bright eyed kids every year. So I introduce myself, "Hi David, nice to me you, lets get you started working." Much to my surprise he grunted and smiled, pretty little dark skin boy, deaf as a rock. Now finding a deaf kid on a 5 acre lot is a little bit like playing hide and seek with an invisible man, but we have gotten it all worked out to a series of thumbs up, thumbs down, and thank goodness he's a smart fella, he manages to read lips, I just seem to talk louder as if i'm sure he can read my lips better if i yell,(why do we do that?)...
Nevertheless, I get a good feeling about this kid. Just the two of us were walking around this evening, closing up, and even though no words were spoken, we had a whole conversation about our day, the heat, the lack of rain, and how tired we were.Imagine that, no words, but we both giggled kicking the dust and wiping our brows. I like how certain people find us just when we are feeling all woe is me. I like the fact that the world is so big, if we just shut up for a minute, it will do the talking for us. Yeah...I'll stop now...
