"BUSTA' MOVE" &

"DOWN TOWN BUSTER BROWN"

buster boy is my best friend.

we go everywhere together,

do everything together,

and i love him with all of my human heart.

he's my little man

my boy scout

my main squeeze

my boyfraannn.

god has blessed me with this little angel

and i am so lucky to have him in my life.

buster keeps me company,

loves me no matter what,

and makes me laugh all. the. time.

"There is no psychiatrist

in the world

like a puppy licking your face."

"The more people I meet the more I like my dog."

my little santy-clausss

"To err is human, to forgive, canine."

"No animal I know of can consistently be more of

a friend and companion than a dog."

buster, seestar and i. one big, happy fam.

"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog."

buster and marls. shes a sexy cougar secretly in love with the little nugget.

"In order to really enjoy a dog,

one doesn't merely try to train him to be semihuman.

The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."

"If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either."

buster's first swim

You can say anything crazy to a dog and he will give you this look that says,

"My God, you're RIGHT!

I NEVER would've thought of that!"

buster's first vacay (boone, nc. march 2010)

"Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in? I think that is how dogs spend their lives."

Until one has loved an animal part of one's soul remains unawakened.

my life leaf

this is my new tattoo.

(2/16/2011)

its a semi-abstract drawing i did of a maple leaf.

i went with my left foot for this one, balancing out the pre-existing tattoo i have on my right.

after my first ("don't let your eyes refuse to see.

don't let your ears refuse to hear..."),

i decided that if i were to ever get another tat, that it would be something i drew.

As the maple leaf has 5 points, there are also 5 members in my family. i hid each persons first initial in each of the five points on the leaf, (minus my own), as they are each close to my heart and make up my "life leaf", if you will.

fun free facts:

apparently, in china, the maple leaf is an emblem of lovers.
just one leaf? singular?
hmmmmmmm...

it's also the national flag of canada, of this I am aware.

as much as i love justin beiber, neither the beebs nor canada, NOR this ridiculous website (you must see this)

http://lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com/

are the driving inspiration behind this recent decision.
for reals.
only this...

i have this deep fascination with trees and leaves and the cyclical,
beautiful life they lead.

i admire the slow and elegant growth of trees,

the birth of its leaves and the dependency of the leaves upon the the tree.

I admire the changing of the leaves
with the coming of the fall,
the gorgeous array of colors,
the death of the leaves and the fall from their procreator to the ground.

all the while possessing this unmatched beauty

which we refuse to receive as a display of mortality.

SURELY this kind of beauty can only be found in something that is so alive.

The intricate details found in a leaf's veins, so exposed, yet so beautiful, the unwaivering strength and story of a tree's roots, the shelter of its branches-

I think it's incredible.

i see the beauty of life and death here;

the beauty of change over time,
the beauty of growth and dependence.
