well. now you’ve done it, mike. i actually found a webcam for cheapness and… well… let’s just say the world may never be the same. because i’m a mac head now, you need quicktime to view these. you also need javascript enabled. if you’re set up correctly and have the right protections for your PC in place, this isn’t an issue. if it is, sorry, you won’t be able to see these.

Anyway… the category is back and I’ll be slowly moving things into it over the coming week and mindfully using it going forward. No sense in any of you having to wade through more than you’d like.

having shredded things to satisfaction, then went about and took photographs of the outdoors, as if it were nothing. makes me wonder why i am still wasting time with it.

i am thinking of you tonight. long thoughts, they unravel like a skein of yarn, swollen and fuzzy with comfort. i am surprised that i still find you a comfort. as able to endure through anger, hurt, and tears in your silence, the thought of you remains a blanket on cold nights, for all it is woven entirely of my own thoughts.
