I saw this picture and couldn’t help, but relate to it.
As if my life was a walk through a wasteland and when I looked at done at where I am all I saw was myself.
That is all I have.

at work
they want us to be
duracell rabbits

what comes out is the usual guinea pig

this city expects me
to bustle about
like an eager hummingbird

and not like your average tipsy bullfinch

but my heart my
heart is free as an onion
a bulb underneath and tops on top

in that gently roaring nordic wind.

from Natalie from NYC

I took this picture a few weeks ago in a nature preserve near my house.
I looked at it afterwords and found that is was so strong. The way the metal and wood came together to form this barrier.
To whatever may lie ahead….

I was never allowed these.
My parents fed me Total and Special K.
But the saddest thing is that kids aren’t going to understand why they are called Fruity Pebbles.
Do they ever run The Flintstones episodes anymore?

I almost never care about shit like this, but I hate immature young girls who get off on looking at themselves in the mirror everyday and think that putting on t-shirts, like The Power Rangers, makes them a savior to thier god aweful age group.  I am pretty tolerant of most things and I realize I fell into that age group at one time, but honestly girls no gives a crap how much of your hair covers your eye, or how much make-up you are wearing.  And as a side note…If I have to hear about fifteen year olds and their relationships anymore I am going to lose my shit.  You are fifteen years old, I don’t believe I need to say anything else.

If you guy are wondering what I’m talking about, check out this link.  It’s Miley Cyrus vs. Selena ” whoever you are” Gomez.

It has been some time since I posted on this blog.  I started The Daily Shag here and have since moved it to it’s own domain, which you have all continued to support time and time again with your visits.  I am humbled and eternally thankful.  I have many fresh ideas of late, some of which I have begun to put together and others I have yet to.  Either way the second half of 2008 is looking pretty bright and will bring much to the table.

Of course you all know The Daily Shag, and what joy it brings me.  Finding new and exciting artists is not always so easy, but I enjoy ever second of it.  Nothing makes me happy than to know that new eyes have seen the work of true genius.  Even if only one person saw it, that is one more person that didn’t see it before.  My job is done.  I have also found my own niche in the Tumblr world and its has given me a chance to show you some of the thigns I look at each day or a way of summing up a particular part of my life.

Finally, I bring you small anecdotes of my life and stories that are going on in my head.  Perhaps I’ll ask for your opinion on things and based on that feedback I will make changes to the blog, or other new ideas that I have going on in my head.

There is a time and place for everything.  That goes for blogging as well.  Rather than cram every single stupid idea down your throat in one place I will make a few places so you can see it how you like it.  If you want some funny stories and leave some feedback, you can come to my corner.  If you want quick snip-it’s of what I’m into at the moment then head on over to my tumblr, and The Daily Shag is for all your art lovers out there.

Hope to hear from you all soon,

Tom
