Remember when I used to garden?

Yeah, me too. It seems that my desire to go outside and dig in the dirt has sort of been swept away along with my ability to write and take pictures. The good news is that I think I did a sufficient amount of prep work in the fall to save me some major spring ass pains. My mulched beds are not completely overrun with weeds (aside from the front bed’s four dozen or so…

This world

… will not relent until I am petrified, will it? Hardening, hardening, crackling, smooth. Let everything — blood, sweat, bile — roll off like dew. Nothing goes in, nothing comes out, no blinking, eyes open always so I can see the lesson. And I swear, there isn’t one. There never is.

On the run

Shop news, because I live to spam you

The thing with becoming a part-time hawker-of-all-the-shit-I-make that I have a hard time doing is the self-promotion. I really hate talking up my stuff. I feel like I’m intruding. Like people get annoyed by the constant reminders of my existence. This is the precisely the reason why I have such reservations about ever pursuing a career in advertising or promotions or marketing. I don’t want to be a nuisance. Except … I totally want people…
