almost lover...
well that didn't take long. ha. i officially have a new friend in kansas city. i'm talking about that would-be boyfriend that i mentioned previously. he's recently out of a two-year relationship and decided he's not quite ready to be in another yet. but apparently i'm an amazing guy. *sigh*
*sigh*
starting to go a bit crazy here. hermes seems to love the bigger house and being with his brother, but it's really starting to eat at me. the bradley thing didn't really help, though. and i'm seriously lacking some motivation. i went six miles last week, lol. i'm going to try to jog some more tonight and hopefully get out on the trail here tomorrow morning.
i really need a life.
day seventeen. a favorite work of art.
anyone who's been around here over the last few years knows that my religious convictions have been waning dramatically from the good mormon boy that i was. anymore i identify more as agnostic than anything else, and the last time i was in a church (februaryish?) was because i was being paid to secret shop it. the simplest way to describe my beliefs is "i just don't know." and i've been more or less avoiding further exploration of those ideas. that being said, this has still always been one of my favorite paintings. nevermind that it's an image of christ. to be honest i always loved the slightly homoerotic edge to it. there are quite literally tons of better works out there to choose from, and i have many favorites among them, but i can still look at this one and long for what that guy with the hammer is feeling, falling into the arms of someone who loves him despite his imperfections and betrayals.
