Problem: Life's Little Challenges


Solution: EDITED FOR QUESTIONABLE CONTENT.
Man, I totally dig sittin' out in the lanai and watching the sunset, listening to the birds sing their last song of the day, and getting totally fascinated with the silhouettes of the trees. There are so many different trees out there. And the sunset was really gorgeous tonight. Lotsa yellow and a little pink and blue.

Thaz right, I said lanai.

I was listening to exactly two songs practically on repeat. One was NIN's A Warm Place. Now that is a kick ass song. I am trying to count it out to do an animation to it, but I keep on zoning out.

The other one is heavy inspiration for an upcoming painting.


Stratford-On-Guy


I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke
The sun was setting to the left of the plane
And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow
In 27-D I was behind the wing
Watching landscape roll out
Like credits on a screen
The earth looked like it was lit from within
Like a poorly assembled electrical ball as we moved
Out of the farmlands into the grid
The plan of the city was all that you saw
And all of these people sitting totally still
As the ground raced beneath them thirty thousand feet down

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened, the noise
Just went away

And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video
The stewardess came back and checked on my drink
In the last strings of sunlight, a Bridgette Bardot
There's a hat on my headphones
Along with those eyes that you get
When your circumstance is movie size

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened, the noise
Just went away

It took an hour, maybe a day
But once I really listened, the noise
Just went away
