Here’s a page of recent projects I’ve done around my house. Some of them are crappy, some aren’t. http://www.lilbrownboy.com/Recent%20Projects.html The trash can lamp was made out of a plastic trashcan, special craft paper, and a standard plug-in lamp cord. Idea = me & liz. The kitchen hutch and pot rack was made of galvanized plumbing…
A little something I threw together at lunch…
Clean Warm water surges; Ripples nearly running over the worn tub’s lip. Water licks soles and toes And slowly slides off Raisin skin into a puddle. How long has it been… Since I walked the tightrope? Since I contemplated death? Since the world forgot me? Since I forgave myself? Since I was born? Medicine-mirror-man scans…
I forgot…
how much I loved the Sugarcubes… Delicious Demon Björk Heeeeeeee how! He how! He how! Einar One person calls someone To pour the water, Because it takes two to pour the water, Björk To plough takes two as well, But only one to hold up the sky. Einar To plough takes two as well, But…
Orlando… Sucks… or Does it?
There is one thing about Orlando that is both good and bad. If you want it, you have to make it yourself. In other words… if you want a vibrant art scene, you have to make it yourself. If you want to sip coffee and listen to a “real” poetry reading not just an open…
A little Emily Bronte on Monday afternoon never hurt anybody…

From the back cover… “150 years from now… Humans impose their will and technology on a distant planet… 3500 years from…
Re-Learning Geometry…
Whew… yesterday was great. I learned how to mark a site with the footprint of a house. There were so many things about a house that I had never considered before. It’s relationship to the surrounding countryside, the tree line, the sun, available shade and prevailing winds. Once that was figured out… it was a…
Awake in Waitsfield
Well… I’m in Waitsfield, Vermont for the week. I’m here to attend a Home Design course at Yestermorrow. It was cold as a witch’s tit last night… well compared to balmy Florida, anyway. Truth be told it was only in the 40’s, but coming from 90 degree weather it’s a real shock to the system.…
Make it stop… PLEASE… Make it stop!!!
For some reason I awoke today with, not one, but two… two hippie anthems dueling in my head… Where Have All the Flowers Gone and San Francisco ARRGHHHHH!!! The PAIN… The PAIN!!!!!
