Although the rain has subsided this morning, it’s the perfect time of morning where it’s still damp, cloudy and….you guessed it PUDDLES. Puddles in my coffee? Not a problem.
Oh wait, I hear the rain coming back.
It’s just time for me to get out and take some photos. I do have some errands to run today so I better get to it!
I need some rain boots.
Just doodling an ostrich for you.
I kind of like it better than the crane. The crane I aspire to be, but the ostrich I am and must accept. But that’s okay! I’m dorky.
I wish I had a voice as beautiful as the birds, just to be that confident. They sing as loudly as possible, communicate as loudly and as articulately to their loves. Why is it so hard for me? And why do I look like a
CREEP…a CREEPY weirdo!!!! UGH. I’m living in mortification at something that I did because, let’s face it. I don’t know how to talk to people. At this age, it’s almost like I’m disabled in a way. A social misfit! A tangled up big ol’ articulated mess. I promise I am smart, an intelligent being of some kind…so what’s wrong with me?
People.
I’m more of an ostrich than a beautiful song bird, awkward and uncomfortable in every way possible. And there’s a slight chance I could charge after you, I am a bit intimidating…
And this is the same person who decided to make a bunch of origami hearts for everyone. I don’t think it’s possible to be that confident and that scared at the same time! If you’re wondering how the hearts went, it went really well. But this morning I came into work and they were gone. So someone decided that they were unnecessary. Oh well, that’s why I made two baskets!!! Onto the second basket….
I started drawing Octo-Dude again. I really forgot all about him, but he reemerges from the surface after years of hiding. Where the heck have you been dude? And most importantly what have you been doing?
It’s hard to tell with that kind of face.
Okay, slither away from whence you came.
Of course I always do some code mushy Valentine’s stuff. Making the untypical Valentine, this year I am doing origami. The crane life is a life of whimsy and I love how whimscial Origami is. So of course, hearts!
Each one has a message inside. Nothing cliche Valentine messages, but I’m going to leave them at the service counter at work. This will be sort of my first attempt at publicly presenting my code mush (besides the big wide web!). I usually deliver personal messages or cards to people. Or leave my magazines in the break room (haven’t done those in years but I think they were too ridiculous and I was running out of ideas ). I will not at all be disappointed if it’s received with weird glances. I hope it makes everyone weird and uncomfortable! which is how I feel 95% of the time.
Because you can’t draw too many Birdos. There’s no such thing as too many!
January 5th is now Dancing Crane Day!
Cranes, particularly whooping cranes, migrate to Texas every year, so a dancing crane in January wouldn’t be considered abnormal at all around here…
Dance today as awkwardly as a long necked, long legged crane!
May yours too, but in a good way. Not the scolding hot liquid way.
It’s New Year’s Eve and here is weirdo birdo getting ready to celebrate!
Aaaaaahnhh, Happy New Year!
Floating in the clouds, this coffee is. To wake you up slowly on a chilly Saturday morn.
As I sat silently watching the sun rise, I noticed just how precious and fleeting life is. I wondered why I worry about anything. In a few months, in a year from now, all the things that bothered me will have been washed away in memories. And I’ll laugh or smile and see I was just growing a little bit more each day. To reach the Pinnacle of wisdom that usually transpires when you grow.
