Shattered like a glass elephant.

For anyone that knows Harlan Ellison, I'm taking the piss a little there and riffing on his immortal short, Shattered like a Glass Goblin.

Why?

Well, cool things are made of glass for a start. The foremost being Mr Glass. Then there's the stuff your drinks come in. Again, glass.

OK, there is a point here. The last time I was in therapy (circa 1999), my therapist asked me to "name" my depression. Back then I gave it something trite like "bastard" but as I have gotten older, the condition has become more and more off limits. People accept it is there but they do not acknowledge it. Or want to acknowledge it. Hence, the "elephant in the room". In this case, the fragility of discourse has rendered it in glass. It is not enough to even acknowledge its existence but the mere recognition of it and dealing with it (as an outsider), renders it transparent. And breakable.

So, this time around....the glass elephant.

Today's photo.

Blue skies all the way today but it's not a warm one. Thinking of slightly warmer times, in the high 90's in Chelsea (where the above photo was taken), New York during September is keeping me going although seeing frozen fields and trees was rather evocative today.

Piracy of books/music/movies/comics is not a "victimless" crime.

I feel for Colleen Doran and countless other creators who devote their lives to creating art and material for us to read. Before you torrent or download a comic, think about the damage you could cause.

Better yet, start a standing order. Chances are, many titles could fall by the wayside as people opt for illegal downloads instead of coughing up the cash.

Improvement on the balance front since yesterday.

Now, today's image - an explanation. I'm mildly OCD so I look for patterns in many things and this photo was no exception. It was taken in Chelsea, Manhattan. I just liked the colours and the way it crossed the frame of the shot.
