Pawn Shop Guitar

This girl has enough to make her happy.

When I was 12, I bought a guitar at a pawn shop for $18. I was totally in love with it, and as soon as I woke up the next morning, I grabbed it and started tuning it. My mother, who has a gift for photography, took my picture, and it looks like this. I can't take an ounce of credit for this composition, but the painting is mine, even though it is in a completly different style than usual.

Busy Circuit

A recurring dream of mine is that I am trying to call home, and either I can't see the numbers to punch, or can't get the number right, or the phone is busy. The dream always has a slightly foggy, unsettled feeling.
