FUCK YES.

Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz
Human Candles, 1996
Wax, wicks, metal 74 x 36 x 36 inches each

“We cast ourselves as candles in a mixture of beeswax and parafine with a wick running through the center from head to feet. We lit the candles at the beginning of our show in PPOW Gallery and we let the candles burn and run their course throughout the exhibition. Our candle bodies slowly melted away for the duration of the show.”

I really want to do just what my body wants to
I really want to do just what my body needs to
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and keep them for you
I really want to show to my girl that I want her
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
I really want to show to my girl that I need her
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and keep them for you
I really want to do just what my body wants to
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
I really want to do just what my body needs to
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and keep them for you
I keep it locked right now
I really want to show to my girl that I want her
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
I keep it locked right now
I really want to show to my girl that I need her
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and keep them for you

Need her

I want to do just what my body needs to (2x)
If I could just hold all the thoughts in my head and keep them for you
I want to show to my girl that I need her (2x)
If I could just purge all the urges that I have and keep them for you
I keep it locked right now

So I used my mind
And I used my hand
It was what I want to do
I really don't know what to do if my body should want to
What I want

phoenix

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a tail of beautiful gold and red plumage (or purple and blue, by some sources ^[1]). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. via, wiki.

Be Mine?

Be Mine?

No ... wait ... yes!

Evan and I are pretty cynical when it comes to Valentine's Day, and usually Mr. Hallmark and Ms. Rose are not invited to dinner.

That said, we agree it's a great day for random acts of kindness, and there's certainly room for fun. Random acts of silliness?

Silliness is what the above is all about. If I still worked in an office, I would anonymously post this in the cafeteria. Since I live in a city, I plan to put a few up alongside the pleas for babysitters and dog walkers on the bulletin boards and flyer-friendly walls around Paris.

If you want to join in the fun, you can download the flyer here.

Are you sick of mustaches? Me too. I like to think the original mustache aficionado is my great friend M., who had several mustaches in rotation (to wear to parties, for watching movies, any occasion that might benefit from a mustache) while we were in college.

However I do quite like these pencils.

♥ Blue Like Jazz, Donald Miller
I want to be known and loved anyway. Can you do this? I trust by your easy breathing that you are human like me, that you are fallen like me, that you are lonely, like me. My love, do I know you? What is this great gravity that pulls us so painfully toward each other? Why do we not connect? Will we be forever in fleshing this out? And how will we with words, narrow words, come into the knowing of each other?
