In the moment

Destruction via moon…
My daughter has this drawing on the cover of her notebook for school. So funny for so many reasons.

 Fold out design my daughter made in art class. Love it.

Holy shit, rad!!!

I literally just talked a parking enforcement officer out of giving me a ticket. She printed out a blank one to make it look like she was following the rules.

 

This is awesome in part not only because I’ve never had this kind of luck before, but also because I once got slapped with a four hundred fucking dollar parking ticket (don’t ever parallel park in front of a handicap spot and have your bumper sticking in the blue curb - they will ticket you as if you parked in the entire spot). With that in mind, as much as I love Long Beach, I have zero intentions of ever giving this city any more of my money related to parking. Fact.

 I would be so fucking lost without certain people in my life right now. Especially the smartasses who never fail to bring doses of daily laughter to the table. I’m OD’ing on smiles over here.

Shades of deep reds, purples and blues

like bruises like hearts

these colors wrapped around your neck.

Did you win those trials, even the scales of justice

you knew what mattered, tattooed it on your sleeve.

Examining the worn threads and fraying fibers

there’s evidence here

that in the courthouse, in your life

there were battles well chosen

too much to fight.

When you fought it was for what mattered

and I wonder still

if you ever knew

just how much you mattered to me.

These wounds open from time to time

throbbing in my chest

hanging myself with emotion

while hanging these ties

that used to belong to you.

My daughter is getting better and better at drawing. She is so much cooler than I was at her age.
Hell, sometimes I think she is cooler at 14 than I am at 32.

Last night I decided to bake cookies for several people that I love. Two batches later, it still wasn’t enough.

How to unwind after a long day. 
Make a salty dog - my new favorite drink - kick back on the couch and stream an episode of Breaking Bad.
Yep, sounds about right.
