Here is a thing Will told Ossie. "All shadows are the same and that's the Secret of Life." The shadow a sparrow makes is no different from a bear's. A hundred-foot oak and a tangle of pokeweed each shade the earth, one same as the other. Everyone who crosses the face of the swamp casts a shadow and all shadows are made of the same stuff. The swamp doesn't care whose shadow is whose. The swamp doesn't care one whit. The swamp has bigger things on its mind. This is the Secret of Life, but don't tell anyone.

Yesterday go fishing - sorry crabbing - and today we ate the crabs. Caught quite a few smallish ones but aiya.

Anyway the crabbing super fun lor. Got a bunch of Chinese -3 of them-, keep coming around, saying stuff like 'wa big catch today!', but me being my paranoid self thought they were carrying a gun about and going to shoot us and I'd run away and kick them in the -

*ahem*.


Didn't eat many.

Today Uncle Jimmy saw my dragon drawing and gave me a tutorial. Zomg he treats me as if I am an AMATEUR. Dragon like a cartoon, mine like realistic. Hello you see my style you teach me MY STYLE not cartoon hor.

OWELL.

Going to have more fun now.



Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
