April 24, Moral Event Horizon

A detail of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Ivan Albright, found at the Art Institute of Chicago. A Moral Event Horizon is a line that a person or character crosses that makes them irredeemably evil.

If all good things come in threes, then why is there only a DUALITY of man?

April 22, Untouchables

20120422-183735.jpg

We flock to McDonalds and Starbucks locations to siphon wifi. I look at the Chicago street outside. Back in the twenties, the gangsters were probably doing drivebys. Now we sit in Starbucks, listening to Indie rock and sipping chai.

Gangster stories are first and foremost archetypal stories of power that cut deep to the inner trenches of human nature. That’s what makes them so compelling, that’s what makes them fables.

Power, legacy, corruption, decay… all monuments to future generations…

Anyways…

Spotted Michael Shannon of Boardwalk Empire at the Art Institute of Chicago.

April 21, Chicago

20120421-181631.jpg

Drove to Chicago. Stopped in the ghetto. Tried to piss beside a crack house. Pussy cat by the side walk. Pulled in to a Walmart. Took this piss and looked at iPods. Got to South Chicago. Again drove thru ghetto. Saw a man sell weed in the middle of the road, blocking traffic for blocks. No one honked. Made it downtown, yuppies all around, took the freeway out of town, made it to the hotel, small bed, a busted toilet leaking piss on the ground.

April 20, On the Road

On the road. Chicago bound. Good music. Evening drive. Contemplate to elevate the mind, awake. Alive.

April 19, My Nephew is Cuter than Yours

This is the cutest guy I know. When days are crappy, I look at this picture and feel better because I know that somewhere this guy’s having the time of his life, being spoon fed, crapping in diapers while rolling down the stairs, throwing tantrums, throwing spaghetti at his mother, pulling at his sister’s hair, dreaming he’s Lightning Mcqueen and it’s all green ahead, damn I love you little guy!

By the way, I’m part of a writing group made up of some of the most talented writers I’ve ever met. I think y’all should check out their blogs and work.

Jody Aberdeen – One of the most quotable people I’ve met. You may think he’s a teddy bear but he’s the most baddest motherfucker this side of Oakville.

Lucianna See – Check out her new serial novel “The 50 Yard Line”. She knows me like the back of her hand so I have a tough time surprising her with anything :).

Manda Lee – Sacre-Bleu! It’s Manda Lee!

Katie Mitton – She needs a website… 😦
