This man, Uncle John, is a legend. He has a had a crush on forever drinking alcohol, and smoking all smokes. His liver doesn’t party hard anymore, it’s “tired”, and a bit sick. He has fallen many falls and is still so strong. His liver & body might have tears but it is a sun anyway (rainbow being). So, my Father & i (John’s brother) adventured to his house, without warning him, this afternoon. I am always excited about the vulnerable or the unplanned (life, really). He cussed at us in the first minute,(“WHO ARE YA”!!!!!), but suddenly softened at the sight of us in his doorway. His dog bit my fingers. His son showed us his metal band (perfect dynamics) hair flying, like clair de lune only maybe happening down a waterfall real real fast. Uncle John showed us his Beatle records, and how he wrote his band name on the bass drum of an expensive & classic one, while also blurring out an old band members face with a probably cigarette. After listening to old albums on his record player in a smokey room, he put on a Buddy Guy dvd. We all fell in love for a little while, and John mentioned the end of the world happening in 2011. In my head, i thought about how worlds end constantly and thankfully. i am not big enough to understand a whole world, so how can i fear the end? i am in love and shall love. His seriousness about it was beautiful and both heartbreaking. He expressed fear of his health by stating he hopes he’s around for the end, which was cute and very human. Uncle John then stated that God would strike him down with lightning if he tried to create a heavy metal version of the Beatles. After this, i made the following photographs & we adventured to other moments, and may continue to adventure to other other moments until all of the moments are memories including me and i just want to hold it all so close like a pair of bones under the only skin i got.
