True friendship always lasts
Apparently not having on-line access really does effect your networking abilities.
Still enjoying being able to communicate with people via Facebook. To be honest, I really thought it was just another place for vapid cunts to endlessly brag about their latest achievements of alt-scene-whoredom. [Oh look, I just made up a new phrase.] Happily this is not the case.
Another girl I have not talked to in many years found me today and we chatted for a bit. She is moving to East Falls very soon, so I will have at least one other person in the area I can chill with. How I miss our afternoons of shit-talking on a certain someone that is so self-obsessed it's ridiculous.
In addition to that, posting stuff from Aesthetic Evolution [and having others do the same] will hopefully generate some interest for both the magazine and blog. Plus, my old piercer/friend said a very well-known body mod artist was interested in being interviewed. And I just sent out another one of those to a lovely lady in Canada.
Which reminds me that I have to send an e-mail to everyone who has not responded yet. Then I can start putting together Issue 2 next month. Then move on to filling the rest of the spots for the corresponding 2011 calendar.
Right now I am trying to focus on finishing this tattoo collage, as I have 13 more days until the deadline. These rainy days and lack of proper 'inspiration' do not help, but I should not be making excuses either. Should be able to get my head back into it tomorrow.
Going out in a little while to meet up with Miranda so we can have cheap drinks and catch up on what has been happening over the past couple of years.
Definitely feel better than I did a couple of weeks ago, and looking forward to rekindling several friendships.
Annual memorial of my one time Carny companion coming on Friday. It has been four long years since he passed, and while for the most part I have gotten past the pain and emotional stuff, at no time do I ever want him to be forgotten. Even if I am the only one who still gives a shit. Tragically, everyone else who knew him is either dead or moved on with their life.
To paraphrase something Dirt's late friend Mike Fifthian said, truly I am the last of a dying breed.
On a final note, there is some new bullshit stewing in the Hostile City. Seems legislators want to regulate shows with a new law that would require them to be pre-approved by the police. Do not allow others to control your freedom of expression.

Even if you are not in the area, pass it on and post it around as much as possible, b/c let's face it, your town could be next.
