In my little Bisayan town, the guitar strings are loose...

Christmas at my sister's and I can't stop fondling with her guitar. I've been trying all day to play "Wonderwall" by Oasis and "Save Tonight" by Eagle Eye Cherry to no avail *shrugs* Happy holidays!!

"in my little Bisayan town
the guitar strings are loose
and the sound
becomes musically challenged...

surprisingly
i can sing alone and yet
still be in tune
without things
without so many people

yes, it is this solitude
and the rest becomes mere surplusage"

- Excerpt from "learning to live alone and be happy" by Ric S. Bastasa

  4. I am sorry there is nothing more enduring to me than art and black art is just on another level. I love the mask! It reminds me of my various Benin Mask (from Nigeria)
