Current animal: Bear

I am a bear.

I wander my heated cave, eating raw honey and talking to the cat. I do stuff with my mind and fingers. I dream big. Inside I am awake, but outside I sleep, and I dream of life in front of a podium and infinite confetti. Outside I am awake, but inside I sleep, and I form a new animal to be when I find the pattern to this labyrinth. The bear thing appeals to me, and it's found a home in my solar plexus, but the inner shapeshifter calls, and if I'm going to sprout wings I ought to find a more aerodynamic body.

To bear or not to bear. I can't bear it. Bear with me. It's hibernation in high bear nation. It's too bad our friend was eaten by bears. Bear in mind that we will need 14 ball bearings to cross the bearing strait. Tonight on Jay Leno: Dennis Kucinich (applause) and... a bear (applause) musical guest, Young MC. Hey, nice goatee. Actually it's a beard. Hey nice goat. Actually, it's a bear.

For those of you considering bearing, hopefully this has given you a sense of what it's like. For those of you who are or have been bears, you know just what I mean. Even if you've been eaten by bears in the past, maybe this could give you perspective of what it was like for the bear. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but this cave has wifi, so holler at your bear!

I hadn't previously considered your bear nature. It's a look that suits you.
Love, Shibear

the people downstairs are having sex that sounds like a rag squeaking against a window being cleaned, and that is making me forget what i need to tell you about bears and possibly goats.

never ship dead cargo.
