"I gotta pee pee"
Hall of Shame
 |
| I've seen this open Bible on the dashboard of this car several times, and often the car is in a state of malparkage (tip of the hat to The Simpsons - my favorite show). The book is positioned so I can read it easily, but I never know which verse is the one I'm supposed to heed! Is it Psalm 51? Here's verse 1: "Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love: according to the multitude of Your tender mercy and loving-kindness blot out my transgressions." Hmmm... I can see an angle there. But it could be Psalm 52! (Verse 1: "Why boast you of mischief done against the loving-kindness of God [and the godly], O mighty [sinful] man, day after day?") It's like someones are TRYING to confuse me.. |

| Laws are offensive. |

| Proof that there really is a Garfield. |
 |
| The ubiquitous "tumbleweave." The elastic band makes this a rarer specimen. |
 |
| Just put your lips on the body like this... (the "news" is offensive, too). *i was only inside for a minute, boss. |

"The Worst Comic Ever"
While I will not claim to -like- parking meters, I can admit that there is something compelling about them - perhaps it's their status as one of urbanity's most loathed inanimate objects, or perchance it is their precocious behavior, maybe even it could be their mischievous sense of humor (so many shockingly-interrupted pedestrians!)... or might it just be how closely they, in their dutiful glamourlessness, remind me of so many people I love - just a bit too sincere to excite the masses, and mostly too modest to object.. Whatever it is, and for one reason or another, I've developed a soft spot for them - so much so that they've begun to appear anthropomorphized in my sappy comix. Consider for example "The Worst Comic Ever," drawn, by me, on January 6, 2012:

"Bumperstickers" (and the -ish) Archive
I don't know why the archives thing took so long to conceive. Stickers is a great one, too! There are a lot of inspired people out there, and I aim to share their feelings with you, as they have shared them with many a seeing passerby ('cept when i think their feelings are lame, i will snidely heckle their sticker choices here). For uncertain benefit. *If you dig this post, be sure to click on the "stickers" label at the end (or on the right sidebar) to see earlier posts of the like - there are a few great ones that need be viewed, such as the now oft-quoted "the meek shall inherit the earth/the rest of us are going to the stars!" awesome.

| Feb. 27, 2012. I be-alive we will get what we want through "Time's alchemy." It's like the metaphor of the field (I heard of this via Eckhart Tolle (paraphrasing)): "there's a barren field, a fertile seed flies in and grows into a flower, at first it's just the lone flower, but that flower releases more seeds - the next year there are a few more flowers, which in turn release seeds which become flowers - eventually the field is half flowers, then more than half, and so on.." Of course, this metaphor perhaps needs to be supplemented with the caution that we be flowers, not weeds. In order to make ourselves flowers, I recommend meditation. We must find and experience beauty firsthand, else we're susceptible to assimilating and perpetuating ideas outdated and/"or" counterproductive. I be-alive in us. |

Catching Up!: Notes/Memoirs/Litters
The way i'm gonna do this (transcribe these) is: i'll type exactly what the handwriting looks like to me, then, when necessary, follow confusing bits with my best guesses at translation within brackets. For example, the first note contains handwriting that looks to me like it says "Af Leo" so i will write that, but it will be followed by [After]. Get it? Good. Finally, in the interest of readability, I will embolden (is that a word?) what i perceive is the gist of the narrative.
1:
"(I've) Af Leo [After] completing ties [the] Exposing Phase &
my thoughts: someone put someone up to this, but i hope it helps. lives can be pretty tough. (((good vibes)))
2:
*before you get started, i'll let you know that this one gets a "bawdy materials" tag. love poetry on receipt paper. yay! (i'm just gonna transcribe as written as it's followable)
"I stretch out beside you in bed
I try to rest but their is too much
Chaos in my head
I can smell you, and feel
Your bodies heat
I want to lick you from
Your head to your feet
I want to stare into your
eyes as you work between my
thys."
so 17th century.
Characters! (Archive?)
Told ya i'm into the archives. I'm not sure how they'll update/alert those "following" the blog though. Perhaps i'll sign up sos i can see.. mmm hmmm. I'll try to write something soon too, instead of just posting lots of pictures. I do enjoy these pics though! Oh, how i enjoy them!

| October 20, 2011. This dude was cool enough to let me snap his photo to share with a friend on her birthday. I told him I knew she'd like nothing more than his picture as a gift, so he obliged. Note the sandwich in his right hand. When we were discussing wether or not the picture came out ok he realized I'm a parking officer and started to freak out a little, thinking I was going to get him in trouble, as he was double-parked (parked in a traffic lane). I told him all was indeed well, and it is. I blurred his face a little for privacy. ..But if you know him, you know him. No question. |

| George. Oh, so many stories about George aka "Wild Man." The broom may seem eccentric, but if you're familiar with George, you know it somehow makes sense. Last summer he and I traded hats one day - I wore his army helmet while he wore my straw hat. Another time, my "significant other" :) saw him driving/riding his automatic wheelchair down the yellow lines of a significantly inclined and very busy street. This photo: Feb. 21, 2012. Notice the shades in his right hand. :) Much love, George. Truly, he seems to be a sweet man. |

| HALL OF FAME!!!!! - Feb. 15, 2012. This dog wins! I promise that by the time I got within 15 feet of this car this pooch started wagging his tail (and body) (click on this image to see a bigger version and look at that face!!!!) so hard that it SET OFF THE CAR ALARM! If I hadn't met my lover on the job, this event would be the best thing yet that's happened in my tenure as "meter butler." I love this dog. (He paused for a second when the alarm started going off, like he'd sort of registered that he may've done it, but barely skipped a beat - squintin them eyes, waggin away. Yes. ! |
