Happy New Year, y’all. 2006, I am glad to be shut of you. 2007 has got to be better. I am going to insist on this.

On your left, my recently completed mural for the Port of Oakland. It’s at Port View Park, which is way out in the middle of nowhere, practically tucked under the bridge. Great view of the cranes, so hence the crane ponies. Plus, Fraction put the idea in my head, and I have never been able to get it out. Big ups to everyone who helped - could not have finished without you.

I am in KCMO, and Miss Kelly Suzanne is prodding me to complete an Uberlist (Nikol’s big year-long to-do list), so that may show up here at some point. It would be nice to have, if not a plan, at least some suggestions. I have no roadmap. To continue to reach for metaphores, I feel like an just-taken Polaroid right now - stuff is going to slowly become clearer, but right now it just looks black. So, I am shaking it, waiting to see what develops.

Man - do you ever feel like you can see metaphores in everything? The curse of self-examination, I guess. Everything is a sign or a portent. When this happens, it is a sign - a sign that everything is not all about you, and perhaps you need to stop taking everthing so fucking seriously. Lighten up, McCubbin.
