Sugarcoating

A reader left a comment here yesterday: “Yeah, yeah. Let’s shower each other with compliments. You scratch my back, I will scratch yours. All are happy. I’m fed up with the over-sugarness in the photo-blogosphere. “Brilliant!”, “Incredible!”, “Great!” … blah.”
Having grown up in a negative household, I prefer having my back scratched. Too much sugar is preferable to sourness and the occasional bitter taste that life insists on feeding us. But, dear reader, I appreciate the honest comment. Thanks!

They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught.
Man, that kid made fucking up look cool.
Aren’t we all so cool now? No.
Lyrics from Something Corporate, Cavanaugh Park

Crap is Art, Part 2: Craving Sugar Cookies

Crap is Art, Part 2: Craving Sugar Cookies

Actually, I did receive a generous donation (Thanks Sara!). Now all I need is an agent, a patron or a corporate sponsor. Or a sugar daddy cookie.

I stood almost motionless on a box in harvard square, painted white, relinquishing my fate and income to the goodwill and honor of the passers-by. I spent years gradually building up a tolerance to the inbuilt shame that society puts on laying your hat/tipjar on the ground and asking the public to support your art…

Sugar Rush!

Sugar Rush!

Food companies are warning that sugar shortages may soon affect the supply of cookies, breakfast cereals, chewing gum and chocolate. I’m going to hoard animal cookies. Also M&Ms because they can be used as cash currency in an emergency. What will you hoard?

Sugar shortage means higher grocery prices (Examiner.com) Will people actually try fresh, real food for a change?

Hiccups Have No Useful Function

Hiccups Have No Useful Function

It’s only a few days until my trip to Costa Rica. I’ve drilled into my mind what I need to pack, but I still forget things whenever I travel. Yes, I’m taking several packets of sugar with me. I’m going to drink lots of wine and look at birds. I hope I remember to hiccup in Spanish. Hipo!

I think hiccup cures were really invented for the amusement of the patient’s friends.

The Body Humor

Taste your blood, if you dare, but beware:
Blood sugar is not a measure of how sweet you are.

“In case you failed to notice,
in case you failed to see,
this is my heart, bleeding before you,
this is me down on my knees.”
