Tattoo #28
So, it’s the afternoon before my last trache change. My friend, Kim, and I are just sort of lazed out and listening to music. I’m trying to decide on my pre-trache change tattoo. I always get at least one in between traches, it’s been my routine for awhile. I have a bunch of ideas, different lyrics from different songs. They’re all good, but they don’t fit my current melancholy. Then Elliott Smith starts singing A Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to Be Free. He sings, “I’m floating in a black balloon…” I say to Kim, “Oh, idea! Draw me a black balloon…” She grabs a notebook, and a cheap black pen, and she draws something perfect.
It’s a perfect visual metaphor for how I feel much of the time, just floating around all lonely, all dark.

So, this domain, lithiumcreations.com, is renewed for another year. I know, it’s exciting
In the next year, year number two of this blog, I’m going to focus more of my writing on tiny babies, tiny baby unicorns, tiny kittens wearing pashminas, and turtles having sex. Turtle sex is really hot, just think about it.

So, it’s open mic again tomorrow, and I’m running out of old stuff to read. I want to write something new, something really worth reading, but I’m just kind of stuck lately. Sometimes the words are so easy, just so right there, and other times they’re just not. I’m a fellow in need of inspiration.
