i’ll make you a statement,
an offer of the heart
for you to clutch
once the rush of this day is through.

in Love;
and i will stay there, if you’ll wait up for me, through all that it brings.
-september 26, 1998

ummm…yeah. that’s what you [...]

forty something year old women should not get cancer and get better for a little bit and then get worse again and THEN die the day after kindergarten ends, leaving a 6 year old in great confusion and pain. i’ve got a bone to pick with someone about this.
i barely have a decent picture of [...]

so very interesting: food, coffee, beautiful old buildings and portraits of women. not surprising, really, for a mosaic of me. that pretty much sums me up. oh, yes, and don’t forget henry (or should i say, desmond, brutha?)
The concept:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first [...]
