Sometimes get s0 sick of wearing the 'same old shit' every day, so decided 2 wear some pants 2 work that look like 'birch-tree branches' and some shoes that look like 'leaves.' This shot is from the waist down.
Have u ever taken some pix of trees and then 'freaked out' when u realize it looks like a person's legs (via MJ doing the 'moonwalk' circa 198_)? Have u ever heard of a 'film tril' called 'Lord o' da Ringz' with an army of trees? Feel like they kind of 'overdid' that scene in the movie with the Ents. Made me realize that I was '2 old' for Harry Potter. I think u reach a certain age when it becomes painful to imagine worlds so different than our own, b/c u start 2 realize that ur never going to get there no matter what and are doomed 2 lead a life of 'quiet desperation' (via 0-1 percent annual pay raises 4ever). So instead u try 2 take pleasure in the lil things, like a black-and-white cookie or the way ur cat nestles up against your leg in the middle of the night.
This post is abt seeing the world with 'new eyes.'

A Note On The Archives
- I started this blog on March 26, 2009 and somewhat miraculously (given the technical difficulties) managed to import a selection of posts from my old blog. If you happen to discover anything zany while exploring -- i.e., bad links, crazy fonts and so on -- please let me know (<3 u)!
Thank you for seeing the world in a such a unique way everyday...this post & photos -- fabulous!

If those are your pants, what's up with the shoes, and where can I get some like that?

It makes me sad that you think you're too old to enjoy fantasy worlds. (And similarly, psychedelics.) I, too, find it painful to imagine alternate worlds because it is agony to know that I can never actually escape this one. But that agony is countered by the exquisite pleasure of retreating into my own imagination. And the best part about imaginary worlds is that you sometimes gain insights that you can bring home with you, like souvenirs.
