Boots (151/365)

A Saturday in boots is a good one.

FRANK TURNER - "Sailor's Boots"

If I had been born two hundred years ago
I would have been a sailor, and sailing I would go
I’d sail around the Capes and across the seven seas and then back home
If I had been born two hundred years ago

And I would know the waters, and the waters would know me
I would cut across the waves, and be as happy as can be
I’d be landless, I’d be loveless, I’d be flight and fancy-free
I would know the waters, and the waters would know me

And when I think about the place and time where I was born
I wonder if the hands of faith had slipped and placed me wrong
‘cause there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could have worn
When I think about the place and time where I was born

But the ocean is still out there, magnificent and wide
She’s got open arms to hold me, and endless space to hide
And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside
The ocean is still out there, magnificent and wide

Sailing I should go

Spirit (150/365)

An appearance by one of my spirit animals #dragonfly in my favorite color #blue

SICK OF IT ALL - "Free Spirit"

We've taken to much for granted
the basis that some are denied
some choose to ignore this right while others would give up their lives.
For the chance to voice their opinions through all of the torture and crime
lies and deception won't change the direction of will in it's fight to survive
Freedom, not free, freedom

Even when kept in restraint the spirit continues to thrive
lies and deception won't change the direction of will
in it's fight to survive

Figures of oppression breathing down our necks
Free spirit continues to thrive
Free spirit in the face of denial this oppression,
the depression answer it with indignation

Tunnel (149/365)

Tunnel vision!

TOKYO POLICE CLUB - "Tunnel Vision"

Going to the sweet store tell me what you want
I’ll pick us up some liquor and a pack of Parliaments alright
Twenty-four seven and the lights stay on
You like a lot of people and I’ll make a good drunk alright

But I got the tunnel vision, can’t see the light
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight

Even on the week nights all my friends say
You’re still in your twenties and you’re still getting paid, it’s fine
Nothing is enough and gonna slip away
I might be dead tomorrow but tomorrow’s not today

I got the tunnel vision, can’t see the light
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight

I can barely move a muscle and there’s still no end in sight
And I just want to make it through one more night
So walk me home so walk me home so walk me home
Cause I got the tunnel vision, can’t see the light
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
I just want to make it through one more night

Glow (148/365)

Ooh glowing orbs.

CONVERGE - "Predatory Glow"

i've found myself
running out of time
relating to those that
just stopped trying
clinging to those little things
and the light they bring
i bow down to you
extinguished youth
scavengers became
future romancers
and my angels carry
a predatory glow
i'm weaker by the way
no way to be saved
i bow down to you
extinguished youth
emptiness
drags me down
to the depths
with no sound
it's what i lack
that attracts (me)
to the jaws
of defeat
mend me
end me
mend me
end me
mend me
end me
mend me
end me
let the future know
i won't be there tomorrow
let the past know
i gave them my all
i'm aching for an end
grown thinner every day
i bow down to you
extinguished youth

THE END

Morning (147/365)

good morning from Atlanta.

JETS TO BRAZIL - "Morning New Disease"

morning new disease charcoal in bed
boansoaked anemic listen in horror
to the scraping of flatware and china
and saran wrap to stifle libido
air shaft a chasm their lives flung open
sickness is a time for hating your neighbors
in their milk flats with five kids too many
having day sex because they're all daughters
and you're thinking the same two things
over and over again
I am dreaming of a life and I am dreaming of waking up
there's this anger rising cancer in me standing like a wall between
the waking world I seek and this infected plane of sleep
love come like an axe to all this ice and set me free
there's a black rewarding book
beneath this stiff sheet if you look carefully
noise police white hearse tv air wave methadone
diet contact safe sex antibiotics
for your safety we've taken sharp objects
it's their object to keep you from waking
taste test serenade we dig the grave
lose weight astrologically no money down
for your enjoyment we've excised the dialogue
for your protection we've installed a camera
just keep thinking the same clean thoughts
and keep telling yourself it's allright
I am dreaming of a life
and it's not the life that's mine
in a stolen car I rocket west out past that Jersey line
and the robots in their riot gear glimmer in my rearview mirror
love came like an axe and had her way with this coarse earth
and a small deserving book she was recovered and understood
and I awoke

Raindrop (146/365)

Lovely raindrops.

BALANCE AND COMPOSURE - "Tiny Raindrop"

I’ll take you on a drive,
Like gardens filled with mirrors,
Lay back eyes open wide,
Through alleys we’re disappearing,

Come close, stay far,
I’ll be your tiny raindrop
I fall down now
You left me feeling shameful.

Even if I could I would never let you know,
So come with me I’ll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me I’m sick of this shameful
Head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles
I need you on my garments.

Come at me horrid eyes
That seep into my system,
Push all intent on fire
The things we think we’re missing,

‘Cause it’s all fine: a pillow and a blanket
Take your precious time, staring at the ceiling.

Even if I could I would never let you go,
So come with me I’ll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me I’m sick of this shameful
Head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles
I need you on my garments.

So come with me I’ll buy you a raincoat
Stay with me I’m sick of this shameful
Head of mine, I'm lost in its tangles
I need you on my garments.

Frog (145/365)

Found a new frog friend!

ALL - "Frog"

I’ve got a frog in my pocket
It’s not a big frog, I like it anyway
One time I tried to hock it
You can’t get much for that kind of frog these days

But you can have fun with an amphibian
Just put him back when you’re done
Back in your pocket, pocket
Or else he'll jump away
I know it’s only a frog
It’s not a cat or a dog
It’s not a prize winning hog
But don’t you knock it, knock it

Just the other day
I heard this old man say
"I had a frog just like that when I was much, much younger
One day I let ol' Oscar get away
One night he lost himself in the fog
I raised Oscar from a pollywog
I swear to god, I do miss that frog"
That frog

"I had a frog just like that when I was much, much younger
One day I let ol' Oscar get away
The other night we had a similar fog
I thought I saw him in a hollow log
I swear to god, I do miss that frog"
That frog

Orchid (144/365)

Hanging out amongst the orchids...

THE WHITE STRIPES - "Blue Orchid"

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try to keep the truth from showing up

How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?

You're given a flower
But I guess there's just no pleasing you
Your lip tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Anyway (143/365)

Intermission at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra looks a lil' bit different when Ben Folds Five is around. So what if orchestral musicians don't usually wear pink wigs? Do it anyway!

BEN FOLDS FIVE - "Do It Anyway"

You might put your love and trust on the line
It's risky, people love to tear that down
Let 'em try
Do it anyway
Risk it anyway

And if you're paralyzed by a voice in your head
It's the standing still that should be scaring you instead
Go on and
Do it anyway
Do it anyway

There will be times you might leap before you look
There'll be times you'll like the cover and that's precisely why you'll love the book
Do it anyway
Do it anyway

Tell me what I said I'd never do
Tell me what I said I'd never say
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like but now I think are ok

Sometimes it's not subjective: wrong and right
Deep down you know it's downright wrong but you're invincible tonight
So you
Do it anyway
It's done
You did it

Despite your grand attempts the chips are set to fall
And all the stories you might weave cannot negotiate them all
Do it anyway
Be honest, anyway

So tell me what I said I'd never do
Tell me what I said I'd never say
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like but now I think are OK
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah woah

It's gonna be so very hard to say
And watch the trust and joy all drain from her innocent face
But you must
Do it anyway
It sucks but
Do it anyway

Call it surrender but you know that that's a joke
And the punchline is you were actually never in control
But still, surrender anyway

Tell me what you said you'd never do
Tell me what you said you'd never say
Read me off that list of things 'cause I used to not like you
But now I think you're OK
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Woah woah woah woah

Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway

Do it anyway [x8]

Cause you don't do nothing to avoid self punishment
You won't do nothing
You won't feel nothing
Gotta
Do it, do it, do it anyway
Ah
Do it anyway

Red (142/365)

Red chair on the eve of a holiday weekend.

THE BEAT BUTTONS - "Red (Gainesville Is Full Of Excuses)"

Red red
Our eyes are bleeding red
The night went on so damn long
We should have stayed in bed
We should have stayed in bed

Wrong wrong
Yeah everything went wrong
We try hard to forget
And we'll fix it with this song
We'll fix it with this song

Trace trace
We'll never leave a trace
Well nothing stays a secret
I see it in your face
I see it in your face

Drink drink
We'll blame it on the drink
With something so convenient
We'll never have to think
We'll never have to think

Real real
We'll point someone real
When everyone's pretending
It's nothing we can feel
It's nothing we can feel

Dead dead
One day we'll all be dead
Can't find a way to stop it
It fills our hearts with dread
It fills our hearts with dread

So

Dance dance
We'll leave it in a dance
Where love can hardly find us
We leave it all to chance
We leave it all to chance

Wednesday (141/365)

Indy is happy about Wednesday.

HEY MERCEDES - "Our Weekend Starts On Wednesday"

Out of the darkness
Sinks a signal to our sleep
APB for every dream
Dead within the week

Hooray
We'll have our own way

Our generation needs
A folly and a fix
Before Friday at six
A kiss then a kick.

Hooray
We'll have our say

Because
Our weekend starts on Wednesday
And we will race teh world to get there
Our weekend starts on Wednesday
And we'll replace that weight with grace
Wednesday great day

If not for deep down guilt
Then I would say
Goddamn any man that says I can't
Amen and all that jazz

Hooray
We'll have our way

Because
Our weekend starts on Wednesday
And we'll race the world to get there
Our weekend stars on Wednesday
And we'll replace that weight with grace
Wednesday what a day

Wish (140/365)

Make a wish!

REFUSED - "I Wish"

I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up
I wish that I, I wish that I, I wish that I - could pick myself up

Trapped imprisoned, I know no other way to be
No matter how hard I try I'm never going to be really free
Surrounded by lies, try to hold my integrity
Searching for a higher goal, trying to find the real me

I wish that I, I wish that I
Could change my values and ignore the hate inside
I wish that I, I wish that I
Could put the pieces back and make another try
I wish that I, I wish that I
Could change my values and ignore the hate inside
I wish that I, I wish that I
Could put the pieces back and make another try

Being dragged down in this ocean of fools
Their golden horse god, obey the master, money rules
Try ro reach the surface but my emotions drag me down
I can't control myself, my rage makes me drown

I wish that I, I wish that I -
Could change my values and ignore the hate inside
I wish that I, I wish that I -
Could put the pieces back and make another try
I wish that I, I wish that I -
Could change my values and ignore the hate inside
I wish that I, I wish that I -
Could put the pieces back and make another try

I try, I try, I try to look beyond the whole
It's time to realize there's gotta be something more
In acts of selfishness we tend to ignore
What we really are living for

Afternoon (139/365)

Afternoon magic hour!

SAVES THE DAY - "An Afternoon Laughing"

You aren't the kind of person that I couldn't fall in love with, rather you are the kind of person that I could. And I'd like to spend an afternoon of laughing at ourselves, and hear all the wonderful things you might tell me. I'd watch your eyes gleam during that time of day when you can't really tell if it's day or night. I'd like to think of us in twelve years having a place and a daughter. I think she would look a lot like you. We'd be all the time smiling. Someone once asked me who I'd most like to be with. I said, "There's this really great gal that I'd like to hang out with sometime."

Bone (138/365)

Indy was a good boy at the groomers so he got a new #octopus toy - he probably wanted a bone.

SHAM 69 - "Give A Dog A Bone"

The writing's on the wall
Saying what are you gonna do
Now the kids are turning round
Running back over open ground

You're frustrated by a life that owns you
Everybody's bought and sold you
We're all up for sale

Where do you run and hide
When the lead has been untied
They didn't give what you need
But what you want you don't receive

You're frustrated by a life that owns you
Everybody's bought and sold you
We're all up for sale

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

The master knows your name
Come here you take the blame
I've seen your face before
You must be a prostitute whore

You're frustrated by a life that owns you
Everybody's bought and sold you
We're all up for sale

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own
Give a dog a bone
Then leave him on his own

Give a dog a bone

Thread (137/365)

INTO IT. OVER IT. - "Spinning Thread"

Talk about something new, I'm goddamn desperate, I'm fucking begging you
In a test of recorded afternoons, you've changed to an "A" for effort beside the city train
Just spinning wheels spinning thread and my spinning head

Behold a glimpse of the nights you're guarding and holding back
There's a panic button to start the heart attack
It's the "new you" per your suggestion, mostly sad instead
Inner monologue suggestion, curse it off again

Just spinning wheels spinning thread and my spinning head
A conversation forced into becoming such a chore
Appearing cold and careless to keep me on the up and out
Since I've been writing books you've sewn the binding
An obligation stitched between careers
That you've been seaming like a stranger

I've been trying for the sake of trying, you could try to say I'm wrong
Or we could fail at the hands of us failing, I can rarely bite my tongue for too long
You heard it's better left unspoken and you heard it's better left alone
But what the hell do you know?

I know how we get, we get distracted, and I know how you are
A single shot of whiskey, toast the battle scars
I know it's a common cause for thicker skin
I know the mourning stage is over, I know I'm right again

Just spinning wheels spinning thread and my spinning head
A conversation forced into becoming such a chore
Appearing cold and careless to keep me on the up and out
Since I've been writing books you've sewn the binding
An obligation stitched between careers
That you're still seaming like a stranger
You keep on seeming like a stranger

Grow Up (136/365)

It should say, "If I grow up..." but otherwise pretty accurate! Check out avintageposter.com for your own poster.

DESCENDENTS - "I Don't Want To Grow Up"

i don't want to grow up i don't want to grow up if growing up means being like you then i don't want to be like you recycled trash it's deja vu i don't want to grow up i don't want to grow up you're grown up, told what to do your suit can't hide the truth you're a fool and i refuse to be like you i don't want to grow up

Distortion (135/365)

Distortion selfies in the darkroom tonight.

THE ADICTS - "Distortion"

Turn on the radio
Can't quite hear
Outside Interference
Fills your ears
Have to be careful what you say
Might get distorted
in much the same way
Read the stories of your deeds
It's not quite right
you're not too pleased
Just a small voice in a big crowd
Gets distorted when you shout loud

Lines (134/365)

These utility lines are loudly buzzing.

DANCE HALL CRASHERS - "Pick Up Lines"

i opened up the door and then i walked into the bar.
through the smoky dim-lit haze, i saw him from afar.
moved a little closer just to get a better view.
he looked at me and smiled and said, "i'm the one for you."

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

saw another guy right then, his suit was tailor-made.
unfortunately so were his lines much to my dismay.
thought he had me pegged, tried to impress me with his cash.
"you'd look great on my yacht," was the best line that he had.

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

over in the corner i saw this one all alone.
looked like Mr. Natural, the kind you would take home.
at least until he opened his mouth, "hey babe, what's your sign?"

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

got fed up, decided to leave after one last drink.
felt a tap on my left shoulder and started to think...
i can't take this anymore, what will this line be?
that's when he let his line fly, "hi, my name is Steve."

where have you been all of my life, sweet thing?
can i buy you a drink, marry you, anything?

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

Memento Mori (133/365)

Tim Barry's new live record is out today - get it here: http://www.timbarry.bigcartel.com. I'm delighted to have contributed the cover photo.

TIM BARRY - "(Memento Mori)"

It happens nearly every night
I walk circles to find my feet and challenge expectations made of me
It's all brown and red and white and green
Those memories in the head replayed explode in colors perfectly
I come home when I feel ready
Throw my sweatshirt on the back of the chair
and sit until the breathing comes in shallow and slow
I make circles with the stars
Cause sitting seems so senseless it's the sitting
that makes me stagnant it makes me sick

I won't apologize for all my lives
And I expect no one to stand by them
Don't ask what I do I'll say no more than you
But not as much as I want and far more than I can prove

Dawns best spent on mainlines
Paralleling rivers strong with breeze I can't catch but I retain
Are transitions made with ease for you
When you wake up and don't know where you are
can you laugh and take the moment as your own
Why keep trying to belong
Why make commitments with people who tomorrow won't remember your name
or your face or all you are
I always rise up with the dawn
Cause morning means I've beat death and I'll kill the day alone
or with those I love and that's all

I won't apologize for all my lives
And I expect no one to stand by them
Don't ask what I do I'll say no more than you
Not as much as I want and far more than I can prove

Do you remember mistakes made
Do you really feel joy and pain or are you content now to simply sit there numb
I know I can't stop the ticking
But I won't let time defeat me or take my ambitions or goals
or rob me of all my wants and all I've done
All dressed as what you hate
Just waiting around to wait wondering exactly
what is meant or why it is too much bare
Fuck that challenge what you've made
Leave nothing undone or unsaid beat the day remember your death

I won't apologize for all my lives
And I expect no one to stand by them
Don't ask what I do I'll say no more than you
Not as much as I want and far more than I can prove

Bird (132/365)

Very special mail treasure from the Tampa Bay Conservancy. It was my privilege to have TBC as a pro bono client for ten years until I moved to Atlanta. Check out what they do for land conservation in #tampabay http://tampabayconservancy.org

KOJI - "Little Bird"

My little bird, my little bird. I’ll sing to thee. I’ll sing in summer’s time. My little bird, my little bird, the morning will come all in a sun’s good old time. While you are sleeping, I will keep singing your sweet melody because you knew a boy who at age ten just moved in. And come tomorrow, the year will turn over—18/19. You were just watching. You gave me wings I flew so high. I flew so high. My little bird, my little bird, I will keep on singing. Oh my little bird, my little bird.

Knees (131/365)

Yay! 1st popsicle of the last day of shaky knees with my tampa in atlanta friends kamran & Diana.

HAVE MERCY - "Weak In The Knees"

I called you up, just where have you been?
I'm just waiting for our lived to begin
No one wants you the way that I want you
When no one wants you
Can you say you want me to?

Why won't she go home?
I'm have you on the other telephone
Cause no one, no one can do the things you do
And say the three words that I just cant you to
Cause I need you
Yeah I need you

We laughed in the sun, we laid in the grass
And I felt your Earth pushing back, it pushed back
What you don't know, don't know
Is you're gone and I'm home
But I'm all alone
And everyone knows what comes after

We laughed in the sun, we laid in the grass
And I felt your Earth pushing back, it pushed back
What you don't know, don't know
Is you're gone and I'm home
But I'm all alone
And everyone knows what comes after

I want you weak in the knees
I want you weak in the knees
I want you weak in the knees
I want you weak in the knees

Matching (130/365)

Now picking my popsicle based on bow coordination - matching is key. I'm looking for a polka dot candidate, p.s. Strawberry Lemonade is delicious.

INTO IT. OVER IT. - "A Pair Of Matching Taxi Rides"

Left behind, her story's on the sidewalk it’s a brief goodbye
An address in your hand
Notice me I'm kicking rocks toward loneliness
Begrudgingly packing up our things
You're leaving on a morning flight
Delayed night London taxi ride
So cold, your hands are turning blue
Asphyxiation formally conducts you past security
The passports are more with me than you
Pretty sure you'll need your cash and state ID

Rescue plan, I dialed out and copied you
Its 2 A.M., took a while to find the door
Suffering for all things fair
I made a case and climbed the stairs
I found you and the tenants fast asleep

You say you severed all contacts
The anguish, phone lines are down
But fear says without me you'd never make it off the ground

You say he's bridged every contact
The anguish, follow lines I've found
Are blindsided and embarrassed collecting the covers that make you out
With no time for thank yous now

A way to drift above us
While I provide a way out
Is this enough to make it
Am I enough to make it

Dramatic (129/365)

Dramatic Skies here at shaky knees festival.

"J CHURCH - "The Dramatic History Of A Boring Town""

Like the old cliche, "alone in the crowd",
At the top of your lungs you still won't hear a sound,
The unlocked cage both protects and surrounds,
The dramatic history of a boring town

The faint scent of a faint notion,
Goes from my house to the Richmond
(Which we'll burn to the ground),
It dissipates in the strength of the ocean,
The sad aroma of an exaggerated town

We're out of our minds when we're out of the house,
We're selling revolutions by the ounce,
We never even care to burn the city down,
We're selling our souls to so-called undergrounds

All of your plans are so precise,
If nothing else the movement will be organized,
Why don't you shrink it down to size?
You seem more than happy to compromise

Paint doesn't dry before it's erased,
You're passing out flyers to save the human race,
Unfortunately, isn't that the case?
"Who will win the next election?"
I don't care about the politics you wear,
When it falls who will hear a sound?
The city you love so very much,
Is begging to be burnt to the ground

Film (128/365)

Straight from the fixer bath... 1st photo from the holga with fisheye 120. I'm having fun developing my own film and printing photos again.

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM - "Film Noir"

I'm all washed out by the side of the road.
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose.
Saying "Baby, honey child, I love you so long but you deserve much better than me"

So I'm just burning all around, all the miles on the road.
And I'm never going back, and I'm never going home.
I've been gone too long. I've been less right than wrong.
I've lost so much blood in the falling out.

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
Until all I remember was burning away.
And all I remember, you burnt it away.

See for 10 long years I've been hustling around.
Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow.
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own.
Just some rest for these tired working fingers.

But nobody never gonna tell you the way.
You gotta figure it out boys & suffer the rain.
And the fools in the night, and the heat in the day.
When all you ever really wanted was someone to understand.

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
Until all I remember was burning away.
And all I remember, you burnt it away.
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and eyes.
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
You got open wounds in a young boy's pride.
[2x]

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
Until all I remember was burning away.
And all I had left, you burnt it away.
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

Unicorn (127/365)

Hanging out with Andy's spirit animal!

ANDREW JACKSON JIHAD - "Unicorn"

and i'd like to build a giant machine
that crushes the mountains and burns all the trees
and pees in the desert and dies up the seas
and melts all the ice caps and makes nature bleed
cause i want nature to suffer
and i want nature to cry
and i want nature to spit in my mouth
and i want nature to die
and i want to be a big ball of meat
that bees can buzz around and eat
and feast on my liver and rot out my teeth
and chew on my eyeballs until i'm deceased
cause i deserve displeasure
and i really want to cry
and i think you should spit in my face
because i am a werewolf

Crane (126/365)

This Sandhill Crane was just hanging in the shade with me ❤️ yay florida!

TED LEO AND THE PHARMACISTS - "The Crane Takes Flight"

Oceans lay between us and the things we think we need
But I've known many who would gladly swim to get to where you are
Always more together than the ones you think are better off
But darling, no one's made it half as far

And it's so hard and I know how hard
And I know how hard to pursue
When you just ain't breaking through
But don't you let them tell you that you're wrong

You're either thinning like the fog upon a marshy tidal bog
As the crane takes flight and she sings her silent song
Or spinning like a hurricane, they've not yet used your name
And I'm left wondering why is it taking so long?

And it's so hard and I know how hard
And I know how hard to pursue
When you just ain't breaking through
But don't you let them tell you that you're wrong

Moving around in the space that you've found
To be finally fit for you
And you're strong at the helm but you're still overwhelmed
By all the painting left to do

Everything's calm in the half-light of dawn
But the morning will bring no peace
'Cause you'll never be done with the work you've begun
Even in moments of relief

Grappling with time and the mercury line
As the afternoon sun gets hot
And you'll always be far from the things that you are
'Cause there's so much that you're not

So move it around, check your depth with a sounding
Your map reference against the stars
And your work and your home, like your clothes, are your own
Like your skin and like your scars

I told you they've had power all along
So don't you let you tell you that you're wrong

Orange (125/365)

An orange glass star during magic hour with lens flare is quite nice.

JETS TO BRAZIL - "Orange Rhyming Dictionary"

words in my head
atom splitting up the twins
rocks inside my head again
keeps me from your bed
sends me errand boy at swim
to drag my lake for scars

do the stars conspire
to kill us off with loneliness
am i so inspired that i could save
the both of us

stayed up all night
rubbing words but they don't take
now the sun says
what a mess you've made
with a bag of beer
held like the last girl on earth
to keep your hands from words

do the stars conspire to pin us
down like butterflies
a life on the trial the hot stare america

sunrise cemetery nervous breakdown
saw my angel making eyes at strangers
i was indisposed i couldn't blame her
know i came to bury and wound up staying

verse in my head
first light fingers rake the hills
turns a landscape into lines
finds the phantom limbs
connects the dots i got her name
from an orange rhyming dictionary

sunrise cemetery nervous breakdown
saw my angel making stories for me
now i know her and she meant to save me
with an orange rhyming dictionary

do the stars conspire to shock us into tiny measures
can you survive going crazy every time you see her?

Flags (124/365)

Peaceful Prayer Flags Fluttering Peacefully.

J CHURCH - "Parkas And Flags"

Hey, does the sound just grate?
Hey, well it's a bit too late,
The mods look like Vulcans in parkas and flags,
The mods look like Vulcans in expensive rags,
The mods look like Vulcans and I don't want to look like that

Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
I can't explain my generation

Hey, do you look great,
Hey, why are you afraid,
The kids are wearing their parents clothes,
The kids are wearing silver and gold,
They used to be wearing tattoos and boots and piercings in their nose

Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
Talking 'bout my generation,
I can't explain my generation

Hug (123/365)

Hug with all 8 legs. I'm delighted to be printmaking again.

SPAZZ - "Hug Yourself"

Shove your false feelings
Contrived emotions
How can you cry for honesty
When you're such a fake?
