I'm Too Sexy For My South Park Shirt
Yay! I finally got around to creating one of those South Park charactatures. What do you think?
Kitty Kat in Desperate Need
My friends, sadly the cat that I have fathered for over 6 years now has had an awful summer of displacement. When me and Melissa moved from Northampton to Boston, Ashe was not able to live with me in my new home where I had planned on staying for a short while, but that has transformed into a much longer stay then anticipated. His caretakers Eartha and Steve have honorably and dutifully been wonderful and loving to him over the last two months, but are now transitioning themselves into a new home which will not have a place for Ashe. It will be a few months yet before I am financially together enough to move from where I live now into a home where Ashe will be re-united with me, and so I am putting out to the community that I am seeking a new temporary home for him during that time so that I don't have to bring him to a shelter, which would be mortifying to me. I've asked many people individually over the last month, but as of yet, I still have not found a place for him to stay, and now as the end of the month quickly approaches, I am near to desperate. He has a very wonderful and unique personality, a soft meow, and a loving heart. He does shed, long white hairs, so whoever might consider this should be aware of that beforehand. He is nutered and very good about his litter box. He gets along well with other cats once they are used to him being around. I would be happy to supply food and litter, if any of you would be willing to give him a home over the next few months. Or even the next couple of weeks to give me more time to find a more semi-permanent home for him. Please contact me if you have any willingness to help me in this way, or want any more information.

For those of you who live relatively near JP or Roslindale, I'll be playing at an open mic tomorrow night (Thursday Aug. 18th) at a small cafe called Java Joe's on the corner of Washington St. and Tower St.The time depends on what is available when I sign up, but Im going to try and go there early and get a slot around 10pm. If you want to come check it out, Id shoot for showing up around 9:30 just in case someone else there arrives earlier and takes that slot.
It would be great to see any of you who decide to come on by. Feel free to call me for more details.

Last Goodbye
This is our last goodbyeI hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe its just because I didn't know you at all..
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time, I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye
Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
Did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes
And the memories offer signs that it's over
Over...
The Cycles And Patterns That Haunt Us
All of the collective wisdom and understanding that I gain through every various interaction with other incredible beings: Blessing or Complete Waste of Time?Does it really do me any good, if I can't successfully shift my perspective enough to change the patterns and cycles that dictate my life? When is the time for talking past, and the time for action presant? What good does it do to understand yourself, and the ways that you could improve your relations with others, if you cant do anything to stop the ways that have been ingrained in to your very essence since birth? When are the patterns broken, and when does life become a surprise again?
