...for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes...

pictures from an afternoon in the helicopter with brad.
the farm and my grandmother's house, 4-Zs, the zaunbrecher pool, and a few other spots along the route from new iberia to rayne.

home no more

i was brought up in a house where some things that never need to matter, mattered.

but where everything that should matter, mattered.

the former i'm (still) teaching myself to get over- the latter, i take with me and am thankful for.



ha! found this today(sunday, 1 August)
reminded me of my post on the exact same day.
nice to know my thoughts were running somewhat parallel to raymo.
I scurried, and I'm not sorry I did, but I must have tucked their lessons into the back of my mind, a cache of wisdom to be opened at my leisure.

wherever you go

there you are

ahr-tik-yuh-lit v. ahr-tik-yuh-leyt

i am always talking about how i wish i was more articulate. "using language easily and fluently; having facility with words: an articulate speaker." in my mind this means i so wish i could put down on paper more craftily and seamlessly the thoughts sling-shooting themselves around in my nonsensical brain.

in short, i want to ahr-tik-yuh-leyt (express, formulate, and present with clarity and effectiveness) my thoughts more eloquently.

i already know i'm ahr-tik-yuh-lit (able to speak clearly in distinct syllables). thanks, Sacred Heart.




other words that come to mind:

loquacious- lovely word for (oftentimes, in my book) not so lovely people

capricious- if only this word were slightly less compulsive-female and more mischievous, whimsical, unconventional gypsy

hackneyed- say the word "significance" 20 times. ya see?

verisimilitude- i just like it, ok?

ethos- who needs a stereotype when you have an ethos.... ah, pat harris.

ethereal- all things ethereal are good. and i don't mean a solution containing (C2H5)2O, although i do love low boiling points and fire.

ébouriffant- Incroyable, extraordinaire

dénouement- so....[post]climactic

carte blanch- that's what's up

double entendre- i like you just because you're cleaver enough to do it. hopefully sexually.

unctuous- love the way the phonetics make me hate the people

chagrin- because embarrassing is embarrassing, but "much to her chagrin..." yep.

i have tons of other words i love. but i'm sleepy.

oh, mr. wilde...

consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

and, quite frankly, it's getting on my nerves.

i can't understand how people don't realize that THIS IS IT. this is your life.

so go ahead, live by some predetermined set of arbitrary rules that apply to the vast (extremely lame) majority.

i'll be over here,
