Now, kiss me
Hold it a long time, hold it
Don’t turn it a-loose, now hold it
A little bit longer, now hold it
Come on
Hold it
Hold it
Hold it
Hold it
Now ease up on me now
Hey
The egg’s-a-shakin’ (if you look closely)! This baby cardinal wants out! I took this video yesterday morning, and it was doing this ALL DAY, and I still don’t think he’s hatched yet. It’s crazy that birds sort of have to give birth to themselves. Born fightin’.

The Byrds - Gunga Din (From my favorite album of theirs, The Ballad of Easy Rider)
The three best parts of my day:
- Listening to it pour down rain with the front door wide open, dancing in the living room to Gunga Din by the Byrds. Have breakfast with me, Mama.
- Running into a huge installation of high school artwork at the Asheville mall and having to pick my chin up off the Sbarro-stained carpet because I was so in awe of their talent.
- During the rainstorm, I thought it would be a good idea to put a towel over the bush outside that houses the newest family of Cardinals on the block in order to keep them dry. In the process, I scared the mama out of her nest. I watched for about 5 more minutes, while the mom and the dad would fly closer and closer, bit by bit, chirping to each other trying to figure out whether or not a purple towel was a predator, and wondering if their freshly-hatched chicklet was safe. Eventually, I realized I had done more harm than good, so I took the towel off and then watched the mother fly back to the nest.
I think we have a lot more in common with those birds than we realize. We’re all part of the same tribe. We just wear different costumes.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Here’s the trailer for PIONEER, a short film by David Lowery starring Will ‘Bonnie Prince Billy’ Oldham and Myles Brooks (the cutest little black boy you’ve ever seen).
The plot: A father tells his son the most epic bedtime story ever.
Can’t waaaaaait!
Frank Fairfield is 100% alien. That’s the only explanation for how amazing he was to see perform.
