Microbus Time Capsule


Today I launched a #sociallyisolatedbutterfly to my friend Andy Pierce in Chicago, IL. Andy has been working on an intensive restoration of a VW Microbus. He decided to make it into a moving time capsule and requested people send him love stories and secrets to line the walls of the bus. I contributed the original copy of my wedding invitation in which I had written the story of our relationship in Fairie Tale form. On the last page I added how the story ended... me entering a love affair with myself and starting my mission to Love Life, Be Art. I also included #13/13 of last month's collage series Recycle and Release which included bits and pieces from that period of my life. I feel that with this I have truly closed that chapter.

I fucking hope so.

When I returned from the post office. I found a care package from my friend Christina

Rutherford. Christina received a #sociallyisolatedbutterfly from me. She took the time to collect a bunch of cancelled stamps off of envelopes to make sure I don't run out of stamps for my

#sociallyisolatedbutterfly collages. Along with the stamps, the care package had all kinds of cool stuff. A flamingo coffee mug, a bracelet, a lucky clover keychain, paper umbrellas, mermaid pen, koozies and Just Popped In cheese popcorn. I saw the popcorn and bawled. (I have been

bawling a lot lately, the world is really wearing me down).

Just Popped In cheesecorn is my

favorite popcorn. I would get it everytime we would go to the airport. I love eating it kernel by kernel with a toothpick. I didn't get myself any cheesecom when I took him to the airport and kissed him goodbye.

I didn't get myself any cheesecorn after that because it was silly to spend that much money on gourmet cheesecom.

Today I got my gourmet cheesecorn, damnit.

I made it through that shit.

I will make it through this shit.

My world is not going to end on July 31 when the extra money stops coming.

I will land on my feet and it will be ok.

I have survived so much worse.

I have made it this far thanks to good karma and good friends.

I will keep on putting out as much good in this world as I can because it really comes back.

Thank you friends, your love and good wishes mean so much.


Love Life. Be Art.
