Things I find interesting, funny, or moving... Sometimes about life in Louisiana, and a little about myself.
I don't own anything unless otherwise stated.

A pretty beautiful concept.

An old painting of mine.
The way I took the picture and then cropped it, makes it look off centered. It’s not.

Michelangelo: To Giovanni da Pistoia
“When the Author Was Painting the Vault of the Sistine Chapel”
-1509I’ve already grown a goiter from this torture,
hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy
(or anywhere else where the stagnant water’s poison).
My stomach’s squashed under my chin, my beard’s
pointing at heaven, my brain’s crushed in a casket,
my breast twists like a harpy’s. My brush,
above me all the time, dribbles paint
so my face makes a fine floor for droppings!My haunches are grinding into my guts,
my poor ass strains to work as a counterweight,
every gesture I make is blind and aimless.
My skin hangs loose below me, my spine’s
all knotted from folding over itself.
I’m bent taut as a Syrian bow.Because I’m stuck like this, my thoughts
are crazy, perfidious tripe:
anyone shoots badly through a crooked blowpipe.My painting is dead.
Defend it for me, Giovanni, protect my honor.
I am not in the right place—I am not a painter.*There are many translations of this poem, however this is my favorite.

On the chalkboard wall in the Design Building. One of the few cool things I’ve found, hidden among the random ramblings and ignorance that is put up there.
