Owner of Perfect House Lives in Car
September 18, 2002 - Baltimore, USA
In fear of possibly disturbing the perfection that is his house, Donald Manison has been forced to live in his 1998 Dodge Caravan. “I became obsessive, everything in the house was so photo-perfect that I was eventually scared of walking on the carpet in fear that I might disturb the direction of the carpet threads.” Magazines wanting a glimpse and photos of the perfect house were limited to viewing through opened ground floor windows. When asked how long he will continue his present lifestyle he replied, “If living in my mini-van is payment for a perfect house, I’m willing to pay.”
Is that what’s happening with my canvas? It’s so perfect in my head that I don’t want to ruin it by making it real?
Why is it that I’m better at dealing with abstracts than with actuals?

Dear Nish,
Owz u?? Longtemps.. further to Rash the poophead's remarks on cats, I'd like to share with you some astute observations about cats that I have made over the years.. 29 to be precise:
1) Cats do what they want, when they want.
2) They rarely listen to you.
3) They're totally unpredictable.
4) They whine when they are not happy.
5) When you want to play they want to be left alone.
6) When you want to be alone, they want to play.
7) They expect you to cater to their every whim.
8) They're moody.
9) They leave their hair everywhere.
10) They drive you nuts.
Hence my conclusion:
Cats are small wimmen in furcoats :)
copy to u!!
Cats like women
Are moody creatures positively erratic,
Leaving hair everywhere a habit idiosyncratic.
Women play games around the house
Toying with men like a cat with its mouse
Nagging, tormenting, taunting, tempting...
Cats drive you nuts and cost an arm and a leg,
Like small women in fur coats that make men beg.
So of all things howled by dogs and men,
Written by writers with paper and pen,
About women and their cat
Let me give a final caveat.
One thing’s evident in a world gone sappy.
If women and cats ain’t happy,
....ain’t nobody happy!!!
N the great bill Watterson has this to say:
Hobbes:
Named after a seventeeth-century philosopher with a dim view of human nature, Hobbes has the patient dignity and common sense of most animals I've met. Hobbes was very much inspired by one of our cats, a gray tabby named Sprite. Sprite not only provided the long body and facial characteristics for Hobbes, she also was the model for his personality. She was good-natured, intelligent, friendly, and enthusiastic in a sneaking-up-and-pouncing sort of way. Sprite suggested the idea of Hobbes greeting Calvin at the door in midair at high velocity.
yawn!...are you done yet?
..and i must add, if thats the only way you can get girls (small women in fur coats)...more power to you! Go get em tiger!
