Who I'd like to meet:
Maybe a cute thing of a girl, fuzzy like fast rising, yes, definitely, please hurry...now stay close.
Hey dude, I know that I was really hammered last night, but did we...Oh my God, we did screw! I can still smell your beard on my g-string! You owe me $14 for 3 lap-dances, you sweet-talker! I'll just put it on your house-tab.
I am quite unimpressed by the current state of stuffed animal and plush toy production. I believe there to be a lack of creative power that, in time, will send shockwaves through the epicenter of human compassion. This will be blamed on something else… but I believe that the cause will stem from the lack of love and fun that today’s children are missing by not having cute plush toys and stuffed animals. I remember, as a child, having a multitude of well-designed plush toys and stuffed animals at my disposal. The favorites could get you through a rough night of tears and the others were always loved as supporting cast to your childhood drama as it unfolded. In recent years I have seen a decay of strong figured, well-featured plush toys and stuffed animals on display for parental purchase. Not to mention the prices! As a child, I remember being able to hand pick any stuffed animal or plush toy at will, with my parents waiting idly by. Those moments were glorious and allowed the relationship between my stuffed animal or plush toy and me to grow organically, as if I had personally birthed the toy. Nowadays, purchasing a plush toy or stuffed animal is no different than buying a commemorative sword at a renaissance fair. It just isn’t fair (pardon the bad rhyme). I would like to go on record, prior to my untimely death, and say that: “The lack of love and compasion in the early and mid parts of this century can be blamed solely on the lack of creative interest in the stuffed animal and plush toy industry.
I haven't written u in a while. I was thinking about u today. I've been working hard and not working at all...">o
It's been raining for 2 days out here by the sea, I love it. We don't get much rain in sunny CA, so I welcome the rain clouds and the dark moon landscape at night.
I've been photographing at the sea a lot. My favorite place as of late. How be u?
we miss you. honest to the god we do not believe in.
come play our record release on sept. 28. or come hang out some other time. we can laugh and have drinks and smoke cigars and watch the fire while we reminisce about old loves or pools in which we have swum.
