"The summer sun is fading as the year grows old and darker days are drawing near.
The winter winds will be much colder..now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky and one by one they disappear.
I wish I was flying with them...now you're not here.
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me, like a leaf on a breeze you blew away.
Through Autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way, you always loved this time of year.
Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now...because you're not here.....because you're not here..."

The inside of my guts have pork all over them.

"Breakers crash at my feet, I count them like lambs in my sleep. They come at me steady, they know I'm not ready. They pound on my mattress door. Have they got a big one in store. Losing you, I heard I was losing you, that's not the only thing that I've got to lose...I've got to lose the deep sea blues, look at these blues, deep sea blues...."

This was not so much about getting it "correct" as it was about just trying to convey a feeling, a memory of summers past, an innocence. The colors seemed brighter then and the sun was warm and comfortable, not hot and beating. There were still mysteries to investigate and legends still not proven false. My bike was shiny and new, I was fast as the wind on that thing, there was happiness and hope. Details weren't the point and if someone told me something was impossible, I doubted it.

rain I said.

Why are the apps so slow and jerky today?

"A military stationed in the dessert. Can we resolve the past? lurking jaws, joints of time debased, to come of age in a dry place. holes and caves. My friend drove an hour each day from the mountains. The bus gives you hard on with books in your lap...someone shot the bird during the afternoon show, they give prizes for the the best dancers..spades dance best from the hip." Jim Morrison

was 55 when, astride her horse, she watched the British Navy defeat the Spanish Armada. Cate Blanchett was in her 30's when she did the movie. This is really frustrating because every couple of minutes the drawing tools just stop working for about 10 seconds. I don't know if it's my computer or what but it sure makes drawing a pain in the butt. The real QE1 was swarthy with reddish hair and brown eyes, a hooked nose and thin lips.
