What follows will be a series of entries involving various drawings, scrawls, photos, clippings etc. that I've come across. The art mostly spans my life from about 10 years old to 19, and I guess you can generally guess the vintage by the relative "quality" of my drawing - not that I think much of any of it, but the older shit, of course, holds more personal charm. I assume you know that clicking on any image will increase its size, as usual. Tonight I'm on a random sort of tangent, but I suppose some future entries will be more thematic.

Now let's see... howzabout some old girlfriends and such? Here's JODY. A wonderful gal,

a savior during my miserable teens. We met thru a mutual love of the Bonzo Dog Band and the good graces of WSHU (connecticut) DJ Marc Gunther. Haven't heard from Jody for a long time, maybe 15 years now.

Thanks to her, I will always feel a Pavlovian erotic shiver any time I listen to Brian Eno's Another Green World.

Last time we spoke, she had kids and was obsessed with pro wrestling, which I do not mention with any sense of disdain, as future entries will indicate.

Never could or will have anything but fond thoughts for Jody, and I hope we meet again someday.

And the same goes for LUCY.My mad romantic obsession right at the end of high school and for a ridiculously long time thereafter. Though I was generally the smitten jerk in this relationship, the roles occasionally shifted. There was a time, however, when it was good for both of us, but finally we just decided that we really liked each other as friends. From which point we never saw each other again. Not for any dark reasons; she moved to Florida, where friendships go to die. Wrote some songs for her. Note to other exes: if I ever told you I wrote such-and-such for you, I was lying; it was probably for Lucy. Far as I know, she's happily married. Hope so, anyway.
