MINIs on the Dragon
Connie and I have returned safe and sound from our 3rd, and the 9th annual MINIs on the Dragon in the mountains of North Carolina/Tennessee. Pictures to come shortly, still decompressing and cleaning things up.
Connie was perfect the entire trip, from the 10 hour drive down, the high speed cornering on the dragon and the creeks in between.
October 2010
October.
Its October.
Do you know how close the moon is. Can you taste mercury? What is jupiter made of?
Blood, yes, gravity draws fire in the end
Time tastes heavily onto heads
waves of us destroy lies
fingers into flames
burn your only hopes
time wasted. burned dreams
free hope with ashes
wind saved
Time and Place
This time and place
seem to pass so transiently
a tiny target. something so small. what if you are aiming at it all along?
Squirrels have the best tails in the entire animal kingdom.
Squirrel Tattoo
The waves are finally healed enough to get a good picture:
Life, the universe and everything. As represented by squirrel family tree, water, and a squirrel respectively.
Joshua's Squirrel Family Tree Tattoo
Had the squirrel, chakik updated, added the tree (scientific squirrel family tree) and waves. :) Waves are a complete band around my arm, representing the circle of life/infinity and cyclical nature of being.
Since I cannot find it online again, here is the sciuridae tree:
Sciuridae - sciurinae - sciurini
Green Lantern Ch’p : Intergalactic Guardian Squirrel
Just watched Warner Bros/DC Green Lantern animated movie. And guess who should be in it? Good ole Ch’p, the Green Lantern of sector 1014.
Here are some images of him from the movie. As well as the Daffy Duck: Duck Dodgers cartoon that was on it.
Here’s a link to an illustration I made of Ch’p a while back.
Ear Expanding Advice
I learned this lesson when I went from 6 to 4 gauge ear piercings, but apparently forgot it:
Once you’ve stretched your ears, let the plugs in for at least 3-5 days before thinking about swapping them. I just tried to put in a screw-tunnel on my freshly 0 gauged ears. Ouch. For the record 0g hurt by far the most of any stages.
Octuplets?
Ok. I’m glad they are all ok.
And, honestly, ive only seen headlines about the recent octuplet birth.
99% sure they used some kind of “give me a baby” pill.
WTF. We cant feed the people that exist, nor can the planet sustain our current population, yet we keep making more? What does the birthrate exceed the death rate by now? 10 to 1? (4 to 1 last i checked, just trying to get some excitement)
TOO MANY PEOPLE ON THE PLANET ALREDY.
“How can I help? Recycle?”
YES. Recycling will help.
Having 1 or less children will also. I can’t believe I am going to publish this, but STOP HAVING KIDS. Really. It’s all messy. Humanity will probably make it past. The best way we can assure we do? Less of us.
Less.
One of the things I’ve looked forward to since maturity (techincally I’m not there yet) has been raising my own children.
I don’t know if that’s a good idea anymore. I need to fight against the people with 3+ that shouldn’t have had one. But now can I even hope for that one blessed child? People I love should have had tons of kids, and they all would have helped the future world, but “god” said only have one. Really? Why? What?
One person is too small to put all our hopes on. When Jesus was Jesus, he didn’t have the burden of expectataion. Time was ripe to change and it changed. Now this world is too small to save in the same way. We must all do it together.
The more i learn about astronomy and religion, the more i know they are one. It’s ok. Really. What if we all are Jesus? Why would that be bad? Keep the faith of the message. “Do the best you can with what you are given”. How can you hope to transcend that?
T-Shirt 101 – Firefly
From woot. A new one since I started this all. It’s a kid releasing fireflies into the night sky to become stars. I like it because I want to give chakik a lightning bug friend.
42 – The answer to life the universe and Everything?
The Squirrel
That is the answer.
who sent you
why are you here?
now?
no, really, why are you here? do you know me? perhaps i told you? maybe you think im Joe?
why here and why now? no that is the wrong question.
of course here and of course now, the question is WHICH WAY?
Say hello to my little friend…
actually Chakik would be my little friend. Say hello to the new tattoo:
You can see the ‘branding’ scars under it, the artist’s concern was with such a mathematically precise design, it would not take properly over the scars. Soooo… i get to come up with some kind of organic/faded image behind it. Thinking some kind of crazy stylized tree right now.
