Great Women

I found an old esquire magazine article about great women of the world, and loved these depictions of the biblical Judith and Sappho. Tempted to hang the Sappho one on my wall, but that's a little too dyke-y, even for me.....

My beautiful wife, Carrie, on 25 January 2013.

The weather outside is frightful....

It's a dull, 20 degree evening in Ohio. I'm running out of things to do, and I've only been home about three hours or so. I've watched a movie, straightened up the house, and changed my clothes twice. Now I'm just doing various internet chores until 7 pm, when I'll go get the mail, and clean the kitchen. At 9 pm, I'll do my nails, at 11 pm, I'll take meds, and I'll go to bed at midnight. Yawn. How do I survive an entire season of icy cold?

Because I Got High

Weird but true!

"Notes to the Coroner"

Keeping with my theme of morbid country music......

"If I Die Young"

This has got to be the most morbid song I've ever heard....but I like it! "It's funny, when you're dead, how people start listening..."

Winter

"Winter"

Snow can wait
I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose
Get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart
When I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off
Where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice
"Your must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I can't always be around"
He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman was
Mirror mirror where's the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know dad the ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Hair is grey
And the fires are burning
So many dreams
On the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud of me
I always wanted that myself

He says
When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change
My dear

This one is for Rick....

The man in the center is my historical crush, Claus von Stauffenberg. I recently found this photo online, and thought I'd share. Happy New Year!
