overheards

pat sent in a cool photography link from norway. great pictures. i was going to use one of the postcards as my wallpaper. i found three or four i really liked and asked jaxon's opinion. i'm not sure if i've mentioned before, but jaxon is black. half-black. i'm half mexican. separately we're incredibly PC. put us together and we're a hate crime.

the first was full of cotton bales and with one lone man sitting in the middle.
marya: what do you think jax?
jaxon: is that cotton?
marya: yeah...
jaxon: and there's a black man?
marya: yeah, but...
jaxon: but nuthin.

the second was a date field in cairo.
luke: hey jaxon i think there's a black man in there too.
jaxon: tsch.

the third was a lagoon with eery bare trees.
marya: look jaxon, if you look closely you see a man in a boat.
jaxon: yeah. it's probably a black man.
jaxon: is there a motor? no.
jaxon: he's probably a black man, buck naked, bucktoothed. they probably call him buckwheat.

jaxon suggested i use the green heart in the marshland... how could i say no? soon i'm going to change to the camels and then to the date fields, though.
