Hi I am Gary the cat and I have a home which doesn't seem to fit just right, maybe you are the warm cuddly lap I need to curl up on every night and the person that will have a safe back yard for me to play in the grass during the day.
I was injured by a car a year ago and lost my tail :( The nice family that is trying to find me a home live on a very busy street and I can't go outside so I meow and get very sad cause I can't go out.
There are also 2 female cats that won't even let me sleep they have injured my eyes twice, but I get along great with the other male cat.
Ideally I would be your only cat.
I love to love and I am a very cuddly cat. I am 3-4 years old and have a lot of love to give you. So please email or call my foster mom and come meet me.
Love,
Gary

TO be patient, I'm trying

From hundreds of miles you cry like a baby
You plead with me, shout, scream, tell me I'm staying
I know I know I know, I'm still your love
Back from the last place that I wanted to fake you
Laugh with me, shout, scream now tell me you're staying
I know I know I know, you're still my love
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Box after box and you're still by my side
The weather is changing and breaking my stride
I know I know I know, it's just this day
House after house, just like car after car
You see club after club and it all seems so far
I know I know I know what else are we here for
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Stick your hands inside of my pockets
Keep them warm while I'm still here
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
Last night I was writing about you
I know my screaming and shouting won't keep you
I know I know I know, you're still my love
I wake up to the sound of you working
You're one room right over, stressing and loving me
I know I know I know, be still my love
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you
Stick your hands inside of my pockets
Keep them warm while I'm still here
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
Stick your heart inside of my chest
Keep it warm here while we rest
Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all
The same as I love you, you'll always love me too
This love isn't good unless it's me and you

Its been a long time and here is why....

I don't blog anymore because i shouldn't I have been teaching for quite sometime and I don't want my wonderful students to find out personal details about me. So if you want to know what has happened in my life in the past 6-9 months or what is currently happening please give me a call or drop me an email. Cheers, love and laughter.

Halloween fun

Colin took this one.

Mom's First Kiln

I went home to Bowling Green last weekend and helped my mom fire her first kiln. I am so proud of her, she has worked so hard her whole life d to learn as much as she can. We got into a very interesting conversation about fate. I'll put it in some context before I elaborate, I am 24 and single, but I have found someone I love and want to marry and raise a fam with. My mom had me when she was 21 my father was sick and moved away and she didn't go, cause she knew would have a better life with just her. HUGE sacrifice! can you imagine saying goodbye to the man you loved, the father of your children. AMAZING! and from there she went back to school graduated with a degree in education. I know all of you think your life is tough ( and it is all relative) but imagine - full time job - full-time school - full-time mom. So as I grew up we shared interests and I was a real bitch about it. She played piano and had me go to lessons and then I wanted to play a sting instrument which I did and so she picked up the violin and she wanted to be in the same orchestra I was in, and I was so selfish I told her she couldn't. Instead of giving up she started a band who has now played with some of the most famous irish musicians out there. This trend went on throughout my life and my mom is so good at so many things. So we were talking about our lives and her life inparticlar and about what if I hadn't been around, what if i was never born, I brought it up. because my mom is so brilliant I worried that I stopped her from having the life she should have had, like a famous potter. and she said simply you inspired me. I thought back to grow up and I know simply, she inspires me.

One evening in late summer....

I love my family..

Hallo

I hate it when people don't post new blogs but then I never do. Well I started teaching this semester and it's been good and weird all in the past two classes. I am enjoying their enthusiaim and their want to learn and create. It is very refreshing since most of the artists I am around a in the learning but refining stage of things and some can be pretty ruthless with their craft. It's just nice for young minds just getting ready to make art. i remember what it felt like I really do, and I remember my mentor Lou telling me hold on to that because if you let go you will lose it and school and crits and teachers and mean people will ruin this. and well they did. but I am regaining that inocense. To be excited about taking a picture of my feet or well you know being open to it as if it were the first time a developed a picture. Other news everything seems to being going well. Colin and I are getting around to the things around the house as we should. I'm looking forward to the fall and carving pumpkins and passing out candy. I bet there are a lot of kids that come through on Halloween. Well I'm headed off. I just want to say that I miss my friend and I look forward to the day that we are friends again.
