End of the Day

A walk in the light of the
summer afternoon
near the house that held
half a room,
Frames determining
whether doors open or close
I saw nothing
but reflective surfaces
and washed-out impressions
In the light I'll hide
Fugitive as a dream
Toward the end of the day
One can only wait for so long
To wake up and arrive
But tomorrow will end too
It always does...

Happy Birthday Norfolk!

Skipping stones across the sea is parallel to waiting for the bus - it gets tiresome. - Tanopper, Fruitmeyer. Somewhere in the Mediterranean, 196-?

Too Fast To Live

This is it:

Dearly Beloved

When Dearly Beloved hit the stage Saturday August 7th at Lee's Palace in Toronto, it was clear they were "here to fuck shit up". For a good half hour, they poured their guts out all over that stage, delivering a heavy slew of raw power rock n' roll songs from their recently released album, Make It Bleed. These guys don't slow down for a second, and certainly intensified the atmosphere, getting the crowd moving and pumped up for headliner Juliette Lewis, who they are currently on tour with. This is one hard working band that love to play - surely a band to be on any rock music lover's radar. Check em out at:

Lunch Box

We owe a considerable amount of gratitude to A.T. Marshall, whose 1899 patent allowed for us to forever enjoy meals the day after they were made.

To the sooty albatross, I take my hat off!

Upon first impression, the sooty albatross is instantly labeled simple and cartoon-like. However, the bird is perhaps one of the most confident, stylish and independent of breeds.

Long Way To Go

It's summer in Alaska,
Don't think nothing bad about the cold.

Still, I see monsters

Out for a ride

Happy Birthday Bill!

Wishing William Clark, American explorer, soldier, territorial governor and friend of the 'Indian', a happy 240th birthday.
