Inner terrestrialsLook into my eyes,see my mind is like space andmy thoughts are like a GalaxyTraverse my universe & see,you are my gravityeven in every mattermade of stars that burnfor time indefinite even foreverAnd you remind me of Aphrodite,when she was born from the sea, waiting for me,everyone wantedto see the amulet of Aphrodite.like a white shark with a coldgrin I came to you and sat youdown on an Einstein Rosen bridge,and then I said; my love for youis still burning despite my treason.Is my love forbidden? You've lookedat me like a bee. But despite mysting you've over looked my being.I'm sorry. Here's the necklace thatI have taken, please, wear it likea bracelet an anklet or even a ring.and may you glow like the sun overthe earthlings.
Lord, I Am Ashamed.Sleep and IHave grown distant lately.Back when the air I drankWas more naïve,We were friends sometimesAnd sometimes enemies.We bickered and lovedLike children.The taste of the wind,The song of the chickadee,The color of dreamsPatchwork piecesStitched togetherTo warm my life.The acres of that countryAre now reducedTo a single small lotEncircled by aGray cyclone fenceThat holds bitternessInsideRather than keeping outThe worries of the world.But I supposeI don't really notice it,Not anymore.Trees used to whisper to meOf an earnest jayBuilding her nestOr of two squirrelsCaught up in the heatOf springBut who really detectsA silenceOver so manyDroning thingsBuzzing thingsRattling things?My own skull throbsAs if I'm divingDown, down, deepInto a scummy lake.What breaks my heartMore than anything elseIs that I don't recallMy familiarity with the sky.I'm simplyToo occupiedWith silly and necessary thingsTo realize I've forgottenTh
MGM Gate-1 (Part 1)Prologue: What's In The Box?Time: 9:30 PM. Location: Indian Ocean. Date: July 11, 2014.Munro was flown to the East Coast of South Africa on a Friday night. Munro represented a Hollywood film writer/director/producer and was sent to Africa by helicopter to pick up a package for him. Munro sat beside the pilot. Bored out of his skull Munro turned up the installed radio. The station played the song Tribal Call by Paul Hardcastle. Munro kept increasing the volume until he heard some base. The pilot looked at him. Munro's head rocked back and forth, while his hands imitated its repeating crescendos. "It's too loud!" said the pilot. The fact that Munro didn't hear him was proof, he thought. But the pilot ignored Munro's selfishness, he placed earplugs into his ears and then sped ahead, teed off. The helicopter vibrated violently due to that volume, and strange sounds emitted from within the walls. They f

Feature #020 - Best of April 2013
Life Update - HAT News, etc.Hullo my fellow Deviants,It's about that time for a new journal entry, as a lot has happened since last I was seen lurking about this site. I have new Honour Amongst Thieves Questions and Answers podcasts, Amnesia videos, and photos, as well as news on my current job(s), and the results of :iconredeaddie:'s fantastic Louis cosplay. So how about I just start from the beginning?Brendan Julian was over in Singapore for three weeks towards the end of my summer break, which was responsible for most of my absence. For those who don't yet know, he is the voice for Louis Despatis in my (as of yet) unfinished animation. Much fun was had. As well as dragging him all over the island and introducing him to all manner of wild and weird Asian cuisine, we also spent a lot of time at Universal Studios, Singapore, with my LASALLE besties for Livia's birthday. Brendan got to hug Reese's Pieces
Watcher's Feature 2 - the return of the pimp #2Before anything else, i'd like to ask peeps without a subscription/premium membership a question: can you guys still post thumbs without a sub? Cause the last time I didn't have a sub, the journal was literally featureless. since I want to save the points people donated for giveaways during Christmas (I failed to do one last year because i was in China I had a really limited access to internet at the time), I'm hoping dA still have thumbnails for sub-less people so I can keep doing this even when mine run out I'm keeping the title this way note: Faving this journal might help with your exposure but it's solely up to your fellow deviants ~It takes me a while to put these together and it's a bit of a tedious process, so if you commented on my other journal to be featured, please take a look at everyone else's work too. After all, it's only fair that way and if you don't, it's just a little selfish and your conscience will bug you . So yah, sha

Feature #3Ten pictures from my favorites that grabbed my attention lately...


text: I'm a relatively thin guy (5'10" 160lbs) and work in an office setting. My dress attire dictates slacks and tucked in button down shirts (no sport coats). To add to this complication, I frequently visit client sites (hospitals). In the past year we have had two employees at different client sites when a shooting happened (you would think a hospital would be safe). Because of this I have decided to get my CHL. The only thing I'm worried about is properly concealing a weapon so as not to upset or alarm anyone (co-workers or clients). Altering my attire would not be a good option as it would bring undue attention. And off body cary is definatly not an option due to me leaving my laptop bag in various places at times. I've seen some decent "deep concealment" IWB holsters, including the smart cary, what I would like to hear is what other people in my shoes have found to work.

Chef and Tell: Chef Brady Marcotte of Table Top
"If it's not right, it's wrong." Those are the words of wisdom that chef Brady Marcotte of Table Top, which opened this summer in Park Hill, learned from Steven Redzikowski, chef and co-owner of Boulder's Oak at Fourteenth and Acorn in Denver. Marcotte, who worked for Redzikowski for two years and helped open Acorn in the Source last year, says he strives for the same level of excellence in the kitchen at Table Top. Mark Antonation Chef Brady Marcotte preps for dinner service at Table Top.

Of course, there are ups and downs with both service and menu execution at any new restaurant, but Marcotte hopes that cooking to his strengths will get things on track quickly and that a tight bond with his crew, which he says is like a family, will keep the kitchen running at its best. Those strengths -- a focus on wood-fired cooking and a love of offal -- feature prominently on Table Top's menu, which Marcotte describes as "smokehouse-inspired New American." Spare ribs, pork loin and the Carolina-style pulled pork for his sliders all spend time over smoke, while organ meats pop up on both the Chef's burger topped with shaved beef tongue and a charcuterie board offering chicken liver pâté. He's even experimenting with cured meats: A recently added blue prawn dish receives a fatty boost from guanciale made with pork cheeks that Marcotte started curing before the restaurant's opening day.Mark Antonation The crispy pork ribs from Brady Marcotte's kitchen at Table Top.
Marcotte got his first restaurant job at fourteen at a Papa Murphy's in his hometown of Wichita, Kansas; by seventeen he was managing the place, entrusted with keys to the building and a hand in the accounting. But while he may have been driven to succeed at a young age, his passion for cooking was slow to build.
"All I ate was chicken nuggets and fries -- not even burgers," he says of his childhood eating habits. But his French grandfather and the meals cooked by his grandparents gradually won him over. "We had family dinners two or three times a month with twenty to thirty people," he remembers. That classical French aspect of cooking appealed to him and ultimately spurred his move toward a career in the kitchen. After working and traveling, his goal was to become the best saucier he could be, hopefully in a Michelin-starred kitchen in France.
Instead, he wound up in Lawrence, Kansas, and during a vacation in Boulder "realized that the food scene [there] is 100 percent better than Lawrence or Wichita," he says. He also realized there was more to cooking than just the precise attention to sauces and plating required of a saucier. So he moved to Boulder, where he first worked at Colterra doing classical French cuisine, and he also spent time learning vegetarian cuisine at Leaf and Latin American cooking at Aji. He even worked for a sushi chef with 42 years of experience -- mostly sharpening knives, he jokes. It was at the now-defunct Pinyon, though, cooking with chef Theo Adley (who today heads the kitchen at the Squeaky Bean), that the "creative fun," as Marcotte calls it, started to sink in. And at Oak and Acorn, he was able to delve deeper into creativity as well as work with wood-fired cooking.
Now Marcotte is combining what he's learned from his French grandfather with the modern American approach of his Boulder mentors -- with a little Kansas City barbecue inspiration thrown in -- to create Table Top's menu. The fare ranges from Midwestern homey (think cornbread muffins and buttermilk pie from pastry chef Cammie Thomas) to French-influenced (mussels braised in Black Shirt Brewing's red saison) to thoroughly modern and definitely Boulder-inspired (his vegetarian pistachio mushroom sausage).
