A Few Finds I Found In Durham


Perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen.


Where is this magical place and why don't I live there?

Things I Did This Past Week

• Drove to Durham, NC in an attempt to relocate there
• Shopped frugally (sort of) at a Kroger
• Watched a show about Japanese architecture in a hotel with Israel and Barnocky
• Foresaw that I wouldn't be offered a job in Durham
• Drove to Duluth, GA to work on my website with James
• Won a game of Gaylord Perry with TJ, Joe, and James (thanks to that pole in the last inning!)
• Felt relief when I wasn't offered a job in Durham
• Watched a few film interpretations of Samuel Beckett plays with Joe
• Danced with Otis and Ruby
• Threw wiffle balls to my genius little brother who is obsessed with the alphabet
• Drank RW Knudsen's Sparkling Strawberry Juice
• Played LOTR pinball at a Taco Mac (a restaurant chain in GA that doesn't sell tacos)
• Lost badly in a game of Phase 10 (even though I had a total of 5 points after the first 5 rounds)
• Walked through woods and creeks with Mark and Mammers (some people call this "Hiking"... I don't)
• Talked about making BLTs for Pugs with The Orrico's ("Mitza, you want a sandwich?")
• Held my new baby sister, Laney Rae (the first Petito girl born in 77 years!)
• Rejoiced over Opening Day!
• Drove home to Orlando in high hopes of the coming year there

Dear Orlando...

Am I doomed to squeeze juice from your plastic fruit for another year?
I make a note.

Regretfully yours,

I Like Food, Food Tastes Good!



Cleaning up your computer can be a real treat!
I'd like to thank Hostess Fruit Pies circa 2004 for helping make this possible.

Inspired By Youngblood

Somewhere in a small Canadian town
lies a boarding hostel for minor league hockey players
and a matinee showing The Slumber Party Massacre
where the sight of blood brings to mind:
memories of stolen romance novels,
a walkman playing Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac,
and an old wooden desk where someone scrawled "This Heart Is Not A Test"

Inspired By Tomato Basil Bisque

There once was a cow
in such a quandairy of udderment...
she shuddered and uttered,
"should I cow or capitulate,
lactate or cream?"

Inspired By Edward Lear

An old man and his grays
daydreamed in a daze,
"if I crave for the days
of my crazier ways,
it behooves me to say,
I must be insane!"

Inspired By Bugs Bunny

the bloodbath
the rabid bat
foams with rage
bares its fangs
the rabbit freezes
suddenly sneezes
ABRACADABRA
back into dracula

A Quarry Of Quips & Quibbles

Everyone should have a personal brochure so that we can easily learn a little bit about each other.

Modern-day dating should be cast into the sea. Instead, public libraries would host formal meetings (held in little privacy booths) involving those aforementioned personal brochures and resumes.

Before you propose to marry...
1. ask your friends and family what they think... they know you best. Most likely their eyes are not made of kaleidoscopes.
2. go canoing together... just the two of you. Most likely you'll find out pretty quick if things are going to work out or not.

Seaweed is a good toothpaste. Pine Tar is an excellent shampoo. God is a giant snail who lives in heaven.

Humility might mean that you have the gift to lead others to the choicest fruits. It will definitely mean that you love them if they choose rotten meat instead.

Tell someone whom you love and trust the worst things you've ever done. Most likely you'll be much more free to love and trust.
