Dinner for Breakfast with George Jerko

Goin' up to the Spirit in the Sky

See you later, Grandpa.

I think...

I have a book.

Yeah,

I do.

Pieces

- I was listening to "Us" while riding a bike in coastal Georgia during a red, orange, and purple sunset. The streets were lined with palm trees, live oaks, spanish moss, and fish joints. It was hot -- early September.

- Matt read "Unbearable Lightness of Being" in France. He was reading about Karenin's death when he was told, from his mother on a pay phone, that his childhood dog had passed away.

Linda Lovisa please don't sue me, I am poor and I like your work.

Happy trails to youuuuuuu!

I have noticed that a rabbit takes the same route every day through the apartment complex.

Edited.

Productivity

I spend an obscene amount of time on projects unrelated to school.

Into Gold

I took an alternate route home from class today after I bought my first daily planner, which I feel is a big step towards maturity. Anywho, I saw this building and knew I had to go back out into the cold to take a picture of it. That yellow (gold) is so rich. And the black railings.. man. Whoever makes decisions about this building has got it right.

According to the Flesch-Kincaid Readability Test, I write at a 5th grade level on my blog.

Alright, so I'm going to let you in on my mind's concerns as of right now.

First things first, I understand that these pictures are essentially the same picture. Everything in my mind is screaming "DO NOT POST THESE ALL TOGETHER" because I am very careful about presentation. Yes, I understand that this is just a blog, but arrangement, numbers, orders -- very important to me. I very much like these pictures -- the color, the lack of focus due to shaking from the cold, the snowflakes -- I love them. I'm into them. Apparently, I'm not into humility but I'm digressing... (I always want to use the word digress but I'm not sure how to. Did I do it right?)

Anyway, I feel that posting these pictures all together... devalues them. It's overkill. Their individual uniqueness is... poof, gone! And usually, I know when not to do this, and I know I shouldn't have done it but... I like them too much. I like all of them for their own reasons. I feel like a mother -- how could I possibly choose one child? Soo... I posted all of them, knowing it's not the way I'd like to present them.

Does anyone else feel this way? Am I coming off as pretentious? I'm not trying to -- I'm just new to this.

Manipulation

This could also be titled "Vanity"

The original polaroid was taken by Kelly Lanzendorfer. The original photo of polariods was taken by Kelly Lanzendorfer. This little piece is the outcome of unbelievable boredom and photoshop in the IUP Library.

Contenders

I recently purchased walleye fillets. I was intrigued -- and I decided I want to make this a weekly thing. I want to make an incredible dish for myself once a week. I'm thinking the menu will be as follows:

Walleye With Pecan Butter Sauce
Asparagus tips
Mashed sweet potatoes

We'll see. Although, I'm thinking I've got the right idea with the mashed sweet potatoes. I'm just thinking about how nice it will be with a bit of cream and nutmeg. Oh it will be so nice! I should get wine as well. I feel this is too nice to drink with water.

Oh I'm excited!

Things in my head:

Practice
Responsibility
Faith
Dialects
Grace

Edit :

None of that has anything to do with gay religious shit. Which reminds me, tried to like a Christian.

Fuck. That.

My good friend Justin is sitting in the chair. How great is this picture?

Thank you guys.

Suprisingly, this picture was not posed in the slightest. 6 course meal with wine pairings? This will happen. This was in Lucerne, Switzerland. I prefer the french spelling, rather than the german Luzern.

That picture is of me and Tom. Tom is a very good old friend.




Hey guys, thank you for always encouraging me and being positive. Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. This a big year. Very big year. Thank you so much for doing what you do, doing what you say, saying what you are, what you want, and being. Thank you, most of all, for being. Each one of you reading this.
