This tiny animation loop I made in 2002 is still one of my favorite depictions of that quiet, chaotic empowerment my friends and I found in moving to Orlando from South Florida.
Ron Artest in Orlando today for the Lakers at Magic game. His barber, Boogie, flew in with him. This haircut took three hours to dye and one hour to letter. It says “defense” in Hebrew, Japanese and Hindi.
Ron, even writing “defense” on yourself in *300* languages wouldn’t change your history of ambushing the stands and battering random fans.
Here are some suggestions to email Boogie for your next game:
zločinec = ‘criminal’ in Czech
minaccia = ‘menace’ in Italian
los kanon = ‘loose cannon’ in Afrikaans
χάνων = ‘loser’ in Greek

If you’ve come this far in the communication age and still don’t video conference through the internet YOU ARE AN INGRATE.
Reason 1 to avoid condemned houses
A long quest comes to an end
Everyone saw Fever Ray out-grotesque Lady Gaga in her acceptance speech at P3 Guld (sponsored by Danish radio station P3) a couple weeks ago. Most people have not seen the showcase of raw pop talent the awards show offers each year. The full program this year is available online.
Today
the soaked
chilled earth
smelled like Splash Mountain.
170 year old Spanish ruins in Fla woods
Above the urinal
In the market the other day
I wandered down a wrong aisle
and found myself
between two long rows
of neatly sorted
shiny
paint cans
My first impulse was to
stretch my arms
and in five
great
unflinching
strides
bring them all to the floor
and into a
violent
clamoring
clutter
I wanted to
and I didn’t
But, God
did I want to
Maybe next time I will
I’m so hungry
I could begin eating
now
and not stop
for two weeks in a row
I want to
but I won’t
I wonder if that which makes me a man
is my exertion of restraint
or the battle within
