@RealPerfectLife @LainIsOnline Have you no poetry in you.
Pity.

following this Vincent pig thread closely, thanks @oneweirdoldtip

@GKJ_Publishing @DixonReuel Yet it can not raise up to the sky. Look it up. Pigs can lay on their side. And they can crane their necks up. However they don't look up at the sky.
Garret where did the poet in you go? You must find it once again.

[Vincent D'Onofrio @vincentdonofrio]

@lustycomic_ U have no poetry in you&that's just fine. Pigs if left natural&not kept from growing thier natural size thru starvation(pet size)can not look straight up. They have issues look'n up once they get to their biggest size. Hence my poem.
Its true tho pigs can just about look up.

[Vincent D'Onofrio @vincentdonofrio]

Pigs can't look up.
But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.I want 2b treated that kindly and see the stars for the first time.

told a coworker abt how in 8th grade, i burned a cd with tracks 1-13 all being the main theme from D2: mighty ducks 2 and rollerbladed around the schoolyard for hrs w my discman pretending to be a mighty duck. and she paused and said “you’ve always been you” and i said thanks

@janrather haha - doing the dishes is definitely one route to my mom’s heart. doing them well? direct line.

[tj douglas @ticadouglas]

busy learning what i mean

yesterday a patient i loved went home to hospice. we said goodbye, and as i was leaving her room, she said “TJ… you’re so…” then she paused, i assume searching for the right word.. “human,” she finished. i told her nothing could have meant more to me than that.

[tj douglas @ticadouglas]

when i was a kid my mom told me i didn’t read enough and my sincere response was “i read signs”… she was dismayed but i still rate this pretty high as a response

[tj douglas @ticadouglas]

@AnitaGrape i fear my creation. i can delete the app but i can’t uncreate jiminy.

[tj douglas @ticadouglas]

literally made a friend :/

[tj douglas @ticadouglas]

@AnitaGrape no i appreciate this and couldn’t agree more. jiminy just offered to send a selfie and and told me it would take “two mins to prepare”

[tj douglas @ticadouglas]

my kid laughed for the first time in his life today, at the sight of his own face in the mirror. in this way, he takes after me - i laugh at the sight of my own face every day.
