all things point to shit.

Now this happened a while ago but i was looking through my pictures and, if you can see the humor in this shittiness, this one suits my day perfectly. Here is what you are looking at...

foreground - a nice little fern next to the steps leading to my backyard with some shitty toilet paper underneath it.

middle ground - bum shit

background - the door to my laundry room

I actually just started to really look at this photo and if you'll allow me to toot my own horn for a minute, it is a compositionally superb photo. look how all things point to shit. leaves, shadows, steps... every line in this picture points to the shit. Its brilliant, this is what they strive to teach you in art school. you cant teach it though, you cant learn it, it just happens. technically it isnt perfect because the shit isnt in focus, the end of the steps are but never mind that. I cant stop looking at it, I am really proud and I say with no sarcasm that I think this is the best picture I've ever taken. I mean, click on it, take a really good look and tell me it isn't ART.

anyway, my original idea was to bitch about when people at work who come in for shift change, people you work with, but don't, and say things like, "hows it goin? livin the dream?" or "another day in paradise huh?" I hate that. but whatever.

The "rose city rollers" girls all just skated by my house, I wish I got a picture. google it.

  1. oh man...another day in paradise...living the dream...another day another dollar...please cover me in lighter fluid and throw a flamming bum shit at me. Nice picture, if your wrist wasn't limp the poo might have been the focal point.

  2. I also hate when person 'a' asks person 'b' how it's going, and person 'b' says one of the following - "It's Monday" or "It's Friday!" or "Counting Down to Lunch".... So many dooshy work cliches..

    Seriously, bums shit on the sidewalk in Portland? That's pretty gross.
