obama/palin ’08
you can’t tell but i’m watching clouds move across the sky. you’ll never know someone just by keeping up with their blog. soon enough truth won’t matter. it won’t matter what i’m really doing in a photo. more important will be the fantasy. the other night during the debates, when Joe Biden’s face came on the screen i got up for another beer. who wants to look at that smile for four years? his teeth looked like they were carved out of a single piece of whale bone. i don’t want Captain Ahab running this ship when i could be looking at Sarah Palin and her hair spray glistening in the lights. why hasn’t anyone gotten a real ticket together? Obama/Palin ’08. i want the pretty people in charge of this country.
Speaking of carved bone, I saw a huge, sun-bleached scrimshaw turtle shell at the Rowley, Mass. flea market today. I thought to myself, how fucking cool would it be to see a snapping turtle basking with 18th century seafaring pictures etched onto its back. Too bad turtles can’t move into empty shells like hermit crabs. I would have totally hook that up.

Still going, JR. They altered the layout a bit. The power of junk prevailed.
