Jenkins saves day (season?) for Saints

And that he would be a dingleberry named Pat Yasinskas.

It would have put the Saints two games behind the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South race and started a downward spiral for a team that’s been inconsistent all season.

That’s right. Pat Yasinkas: Foreseer of downward spirals.

But really. Let’s say the Saints did lose. Then Atalanta would only have to lose at Green Bay Sunday and to the Saints at home for the division to be tied. I mean, where do they find these guys? I’m glad there are bloggers out there so we aren’t forced to rely on ESPN dipshits like this.

amen.

the sports universe has never been saints centric.

i aint gonna lie , i really like it that way.

i wish wwl would embrace that.

all they talked about friday was a hand wringing bitch fest how the saints cant get respect nationally.

like you said , if you read the local sports blogs you will get the real dope.

it’s fun being the underdog when you know better.

hey lance vegas (no thats not a typo just a suggestion for a nickname for ya).

in hindsight those links i sent ya are probably in your crosshairs.

if you like podcasts check the wist a.m. sight.

wist.com

they have these shows:

sports hangover

the kenney wilkerson show

and the no b.s. zone with joe horn.

all are podcasted for two weeks .

if you have a mac you just do the three finger salute and it downloads it as a mp3 instead of being tethered to your computer .

larry holder who is on sports hangover also writes for cbs.com

i still stand by the notion that the saints play better as an underdog.

most teams with talent and a chip on their shoulder do.

peace on the bank called west where the sun rises in the east.

Rejoice!

I say that a lot. I sign many pieces with it. I do this because I believe our lives are a true happenstance. A brilliant occurence from nothingness. We are so rare. We are so unlikely. And simply being born isn’t enough. From there we must survive, endure. So each morning, after our Sun departs and is reborn again. Please, for the sake of your ancestors and the Universe in general, hoist that cup of joe up and say, “Rejoice.”

Ours is a soulful existence. No matter how many McMansions, polyester fabrics, auto-tunes, modified foods and social networks we surround ourselves with, we are all still native, passionate beings made of ancient matter. We are organic and we have soul.

Wood also has a warm, soulful quality. Wood has a memory. It retains smells, traumas, events. It even has a calendar. This is why I have chosen it as my medium, for its old soul. I like to think the wood in my work is in its third incarnation. First a tree, then a home and now art. If you have a room that needs a little soul, get a piece. A room can never have enough soul.

My inspiration and subject matter comes from many sources, among them: Humanism, old ballads, trickster tales, flora and fauna, science, myths and folklore, stringed instruments, brass bands, amber spirits, lady vocalists, general relativity and quantum mechanics. Some of my pieces are there just to make a short, simple statement about what’s important in life. Some are more diffuse and abstract in meaning. A personal drama, an enduring line from a poem or novel, a poignant song lyric, the legacy of an important person, a fleeting thought … these are the subjects of my art.

I use hearts often because they are a very abstract way of depicting the human soul without also employing the very subjective human form. The symbolic heart is an apt representation for a person’s experience and essence. A body can immediatly conjure happiness, sorrow, youth, age, anger, bliss. These emotions can get in the way. Sometimes it’s simply about the experience.

I am the son of a sailor and a social worker, the grandson of a gypsy, a dancer and a nurse. I spent my youth moving from port city to port city, watching a lot of road go by and reading World Book Encyclopedia. After my parents settled down on the Gulf Coast, I was a miscreant youth, destroying cars and taking the wrongs things too seriously and the right things not serious enough. Eventually I began replacing my imagination with experience.

I will use any salvaged wood but prefer swamp cypress and longleaf heartwood pine.

I despise waste. Particularly the waste of organic matter. Trees are magnificent. They were here before we arrived and they’ll be around after we are gone. I’m making an effort to save as much wood as possible. Creating art is fun too. But beyond communicating with folks, but beyond making money ad providing for myself, beyond rescuing flooded parts, beyond reveling in the ethereal aroma of heartpine that hasn’t seen the light of day in 400 years, beyond all that, I am trying to make a simple comment on waste.
