In the Spirit
of capitalism I am having an art sale! Everything in the shop is half off. Yes, 50% off :) lol

My 300th Post
And what a post it is! You will learn where my head is at these days...
What is more important to me? Car payments or a spur of the moment Paris trip? I wish I could be the type of person who negates responsibility to live in the moment, claiming happiness with the click of a button. The loud, decisive 'SOLD' sound clip from the Nintendo version of Monopoly plays in my head while I think about this enticing offer below. Ahh! Buy my art so I can go to Paris. You can come too!

Creepy Blogger/Google Sales Machine
I just wrote a post that contained the word manure in it.
I pushed publish.
I saw an ad for a manure spreader next to the 'your post has been published: view blog' screen
Creepy.

Creepy.
Get out of my ear please and drive, drive, Goodwill, drive
1. I am sure you are unaware of your little shout out...
But please don't yell into my ear.
Thanks :)
(you probably don't know who you are) lol(lipops)
2. What a great driving and Goodwill day!! Whenever I need to unwind I go for a long drive to the Northwest corner of CT. Today the target was Sharon and was then extended to Hitchcock Hills, NY. Amazing farms, signs for Raw Milk, cows, horses, manure smells... Loved it all. There was a quick stop at the New Milford Goodwill for books, a tape and, I was hoping, a guitar. I've never even seen a guitar at goodwill. I lost mine to warping (and other things) recently. So it goes...
The books! What great stuff I found: a book of quotations, Oxford Concise ed., Philosophy of the Ancients, and Philosophy Before Socrates. The kicker though is the tape, "Rachel's Camp Mix #2." It's from the Summer of 1989 recorded on a Goldstar tape. The songs are all things I listened to around that time, too. So strange!
It's the end of the world as we know it
The one I love
Cuyahoga
Patience
Like a Prayer
Express Yourself
Miss American Pie
Man in Motion
St. Elmos Fire
Can't Touch This (yes, MC Hammer!!!)
Free Fallin'
I've been searching through tapes at Goodwill for over a decade and have never seen a tape with my name on it. It was great listening during my drive.
But please don't yell into my ear.
Thanks :)

Here's what I'm gonna do with that phone line
OK, so here it starts...another crazy project that could be very fun for all. I am turning my spare phone number into a poetry line. What you do is call (203)364-8348 and leave a message of:
The title of the poem
The poem itself
Your name
and if you'd like to, your city/state
Once I have a bunch to work with I'll make one per day the message body. Y'all can still leave your poems as a message and I'll change it up. These mini-readings should be great fun. I love hearing poetry :)
Any questions - please comment below. Thanks!

One Last Thing, by William Michaelian
One Last Thing
One last thing
before I say hello:
here is a flower.
It cried out at first,
but on you it no
longer seems alone.
Hello, my love. Hello.
This poem is from his truly wonderful book Another Song I Know.
(Illustrated by me)
