Blurb 1/365: Against the balloon vendor’s advice, I bought all the mylar balloons. I tied heavy bells with loose slipknots to the bottom of each one and situated them on the sidewalk where people were clicking their tongues at me and taking wide steps to either side to avoid the balloons. People started to avoid me all together and the hustle and bustle continued on the opposite side of the street. I looked upon my balloon farm with a victorious smile. With my arms spread wide and head held up high, I walked into the balloons’ warm embrace. After a few joyous twirls, the balloons were hugging me from all sides and all I could see was metallic beauty. The bells jingled and stayed on the ground. They wobbled a bit from the inertia of the ball bearings and almost appeared like they were waving goodbye. The strings came loose and I floated into the sky towards the sunset on the horizon.

Song(s) of the Day:

Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) by Cher

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IdEfcsjhGE

and as sung by Nancy Sinatra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Xl0Qry-hA

–

Musical Pipe Dream: In Cher’s version, I’ve got a fiddle tucked into the crook of my neck and I pull the bow with long, meaningful strokes. During the breakdowns, I relax my shoulders and pluck the strings to the beat.

In Nancy’s version, I’m sitting on a wooden chair holding a guitar. I have a piece of glass in my left hand to hold down on the frets as I pick at the strings. My eyes are fixated on my right hand and my head is bowed down.

–

Blurb 1/365: I wonder how the world would be if perspective could be used like currency? Like, you could pay people in perspective. Or you could pay people money to see your perspective. *She was lost in thought … she was missing for 12 days.*
