"Dogs do not mind or put up a fuss about being photographed. They make no demands for baksheesh, and vanity is seldom their concern, unlike most of my human subjects."

-Elliott Erwitt; Woof

End of Innocence

Be wary of the signs. Take note from where the wind blows and the shadow cast by trees. Listen to the sound of birds and observe the flow of the water. Each tells of what came, and what will come to pass. 

Words from a true Vagabond.

Though a Vagabond walks alone, it will never hurt to bring friends along.

My second coffee of the day.. second of five.

I'm not a morning person, and I never will be.

I wake up to two alarm clocks. One is always set to go off every 5 minutes from my waking time. If ever I'd (successfully) wake up from the racket, I'll proceed to drag myself to the kitchen and make myself some strong coffee and drink it with my "breakfast" cigarette. I'll take another can of coffee with the complementary cigarette minutes before I start working.
