48 consecutive posts that I spun from the thick web of my noodle, marking the completion of this project. I'm so excited I actually finished! Let's face it there was a pretty high probability that I was going to get distracted by other projects, food, music, making out, hijinks or any (SQUIRREL!) number of things. I'm really honored that you might have stopped by to check out the ramblings, which I admit never had a clear direction but somehow wound around to some funny and, maybe, interesting glimpses into connections we can have just being authentic dorks on the internet.
Listen, if you ever want to stop by and visit I'm game, I'll cook up some Panky's Pride and we can listen to the windows rattle as the Muni bus whines and chugs on up the McAllister hill. I have a cat and a dog too, so you know, Allergy Alert!
Or write me a letter or postcard, I promise I'll send something back. 1032 steiner APt F sf CA 94115. Getting mail is fun, just don't send me anything that requires postage, my buzzer is broken and the SF USPS is a bit sketchy these days.
The best thing of all is that I've come full circle in a way, I used to curate a few secret lives, nothing too dangerous or illegal, but things I did on my own because I wanted to experience them or just have the world and all it's spontaneous, random and thrilling possibilities as my canvas. Climbing into buildings and spray painting stencils and setting up the drums on the edge of a cliff so I could play for the gulls kind of stuff. It wasn't that I was embarrassed or intentionally excluding anyone, it was more about feeling a moment unclouded by words, unfettered by viewpoints except my own.
Now I've just finished a Facebook residency where I've curated my thoughts and without much of a plan or purpose decided to throw them out there to see where they would take me. Being a huge skeptic of social media made this all the more of a challenge but you all have shown me something I never expected, that sharing is also unique, that the interaction even in this format is unpredictable; that words are important and we are connected if we want to be.
Thanks. Hopefully we will randomly, spontaneously meet up somewhere soon and laugh it off. Be well - XOXO
