i am a martian hippie-bohemian...lunatic beachcomber...naturalist guide...i enjoyed last night's rain...i went outside Kiki Paintbox and walked barefoot on the wet grass...drizzle-drazzle, if Zorba the Greek is Zorba, then i am Razcel the Freak...darn! i want to become a farmer when i grow old.

at 74, life is still strange. very strange. last night, i wrote myself a letter in my journal and was fascinated on how external forces synchronized with my inner longings...in front of me was the framed "rainbow jam" photo. today, i celebrated my 74th birthday with grade 6 pupils...shared to them my so-called life's work as environmental journalist. and i got a gift from Chickee: RENT soundtrack! whew!

i miss my folks at home...and kaia. i love kaia! smile...smile...smile...smile...artpaix

oh, today, i used the fictionalized word "fuckinization!" just came across my mind...it means, fucking your mind with idiotique punctuations! in short...don't be stupid!

been rereading Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian Wood" for the nth time. just so lovely how murakami weaved the poetic lines...such an intimate copulation of lyrics...

closet bohemian, froggy artists, blind photographers, performance artists, red environmentalists, dead poets, smart braindead martians, chalkdrawing freaks, earthlings, international environmental activists, peacemakers, feline-lovers, ant-hill climbers...anyone who wants to dance with me under the rain or to walk with me along the shore and save stranded little rays. and someone who would shout with me, "i love you EARTH!"

i love Kaia!
