Buddha Sunrise

Electric Buddha rises over ribbons of gold, black browns, and cobalt blues.

Lycopene

I recently purchased a fairly large bottle of multivitamins.  I figure that as I approach thirty, why not?  A little lycopene here, a little zinc there, my body could use a few of these things.

Three minutes ago I read an article stating that multivitamins have no known actual benefits, and should actually be avoided due to an increased risk in some cancers.

Fuck.

You get used to it.

We have one of the loudest clocks I've ever heard.

It's 'tick tock' is not too unlike a teenager sitting in a squeaky recliner cracking his knuckles aggressively.

Like all things though, you get used to it.

Now it acts as a sort of deterrent in our living room.  A deterrent to those not used to it.

Motorists

The gas cap on my car won't stay closed these days.

It's as if my car drives around town giving other motorists a wink, saying "My driver is an idiot!"

Such snark should not garner reprieve.  Soon I will remove my car's eyelid altogether if it doesn't start behaving...

Little Poem

In our own little way,

in our own little lives,

we are always a little intrigued,

by the man with little knives.

Petri Dish

The painted textures on the walls of our house remind me of a petri dish.

Larger globs chasing after smaller ones, engulfing them.

Smaller globs running from larger ones, hiding in the empty spaces.

The infiniteness and randomness of the application have dominated my attention as I sat down this morning in an attempt to find something creative.

Industriousness

Industriousness is what I'd like to blame my lack of writing on.

But I know too well that laziness is a factor in there somewhere.
