my life as a artist
i am the wind beneath her wings
Friday 29th May 2009 10:56 PM
One of the hens has fallen in love with me, and while it's very flattering it's also rather awkward, mainly because I haven't fallen in love with her. She'd been hanging around the bird table and when I was putting food out I'd sometimes spill seed in my excitement, and I think she's mistaken this for some sort of romantic overture.
She waits for me to come home, and when I'm in the garden re-potting plants or digging, she pecks at my fingers and toes, and sometimes she invites herself into the caravan, and before I can shoo her out, she shits on the rug.
She's an attractive redhead, about eighteen inches tall with piercing mad eyes, and a couple of sore-looking bald patches on her wings, probably caused by a mild case of depluming scabies. However, the mystic homeopath and heavy metal drummer, Thorwald Defleppardson, says that feather-loss can be the result of emotional disappointment, so it's possible that the hen is on the rebound from a failed relationship and I'm just the object of her lovelorn projections.
It's been difficult getting her to understand that her feelings of unconditional love towards me aren't grounded in any sort of practical reality, and more to the point, that they're not reciprocated in any way. Jungian analysis, however, cuts little dash with poultry, and in the end I've had to resort to a lot of vigorous shooing. I've always tried to maintain an appropriately loving relationship with all animals, both domestic and wild, and I find this act of vigorous shooing quite distressing, and with the unpleasant rug incident, it's turned out to be quite a messy business.
Talking of sordid affairs filled with painful squawkings and disappointment, my next gig is at the City Screen basement bar on Friday June 5th as part of a Dylan tribute night, an annual event in honour of the bard's birthday. Blonde on Bob, featuring the Travelling Libraries very own Ry Veeter, will do the songs and I'll wheel out my annually adapted twenty-minute Bob Dylan comedy set.
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end of the blog? I haven't got the Memphis blues again, but I do appear to be stuck inside a mobile-home.

Right now it looks like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

I'm not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later and see if the problem still exists.

Hello! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.

Howdy are using Wordpress for your site platform? I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog? Any help would be really appreciated!

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hey would you mind letting me know which web host you're using? I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thank you, I appreciate it!

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!

Admiring the commitment you put into your website and in depth information you provide. It's good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same out of date rehashed material. Wonderful read! I've saved your site and I'm adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Excellent work!
