Sorry about just reprinting my Face Book notes here for now. I've been rather busy not dying, and all so you'll forgive me. While laying about gathering dust I've had all manner of ideas for projects to fill up my end of the void with.
The usual art crap, and spirit stuff that no one will care about, but which will make at least me chuckle. Caravaggio had the same idea. "Yeah" he thought. "Think I'll paint this weird crypto-sexual painting of an Angel boy"
'And he did.
Popes, and assorted rich guys have had it in their private collections for centuries...till publishing came along, and perverts like me, and Keith Haring got our own sweaty copies.
There's the little fucker up there.
He goes in, and out of fashion like wing tipped shoes...right now in a bit of disfavor for reasons we know too well. Then again there's that wonderfully insane Van Gogh.
Him Caravaggio, and Walt Whitman I'd loved to have sat down with for the night, and snorted speed coke, and drunk bottles of cheap wine. While bullshitting about the world the fucking universe, and everything.
Yeah I'd have really liked that.
Be back later.

I'd never have known the comments were from FB, since I maintain minimal presence there - have an account, but don't use it.
Of those three guys, I fancy uncle Walt would be the best company. As for Caravaggio, how's your Italian? Mine's gotten sketchy at best after all these years. Van Gogh at least could speak good English (you do NOT want to have to learn Dutch), and on a good day I bet he had some interesting conversation. Very abrasive personality, though. With Walt we could expand our horizons to the bounds of the known universe & maybe a bit beyond.

Well hey now in the realms of the eternal I just assumed they had the knowing. That we could converse. These three plus me would make an odd bunch, but I think a merry one. Yes Uncle Walt would lead the party.
Yes from what I've examined "Dutch" is a strange, and not all that lovely language. Still there are worse...I think.
Some of my posts do originate on FB. Some on blogs. There a commerce in in them back, and forth.
Happy we've found each other.
I've been imagining an alternate universe to escape to. It's the one where the hippies went. T Z
