adventuring p.1

i should probably stop trying to take pictures as i drive- it can't be very safe. but how can i resist when i go through places this perfect?

"Mahoney said it would be right skit to run away to sea on one of those big ships and even I, looking at the high masts, saw, or imagined, the geography which had been scantily closed to me at school gradually taking substance under my eyes."

"The Encounter," Dubliners

tus manos

TUS MANOS

Cuando tus manor salen,

amor, hacia las mias,

que me traen volando?

Por que se detuvieron

en mi boca, de pronto,

por que las reconozco

como si entonces, antes,

las hubiera tocado,

como si antes de ser

hubieran recorrido

me frente, mi cintura?

Su suavidad venia

volando sobre el tiempo,

sombre el mar, sombre el humo,

sombre la primavera,

y cuando tu pusiste

tus manos en mi pecho,

reconoci esas alas

de paloma dorsda,

reconici esa greda

y ese color de trigo.

Los anos de mi vida

yo camine buscandolas.

Pablo Neruda

in other words

It starts stopping when it stops stopping

i hate geography; the boarders are always shifting

it's so simple to get caught in the easy net cast over this safe place.

i'm ready to go now. maybe i'll just take the giraffes with me.

safari on the ortega

sometimes i think that i lead a fairly normal life, until i run into random african animal farms in southern california:

camel, ostrich, donkeys, zebras

exiled camel

giraffes

it really IS my birthday!!!!
