rabbit. rabbit...

shout it out loud, mutha-suckas.
or whisper it.
or just plain speak that sh!t:
"rabbit, rabbit."
it's the first of the month, my ninjas.
y'all need to scoople up on that superb superstition.
after all, good luck is pretty good.
and lucky.
y'know somethin'?
i'm born in the year of the rabbit,
even though it was 1976 in honky years.
which can be confusing on chinese food placemat calendars,
since their new year takes it's sweet time showing up.
i could've been a dragon, if times had lined up better.
instead of a good fortune serpent/camel/deer beast,
i'm a lucky rabbit.
with all my feet still attached, and everything.
maybe fate threw me a charity twist, though.
that would explain my heroic set of dragonballs.
(y'know, for wishin' and stuff)
oh, c'mon.
rabbits have giant brass lagomorphic clankers, anyway.
stop trying to dull my shine, y'all.
man, you can't let a ninja be happy, huh?
that's cool,
because i already said my magic mantra,
all early-shirley this morning an' that.
y'know what ELSE happened this morning?
this:

and this:

dirt mcgirt!!!
see?
the good luck sparkle-magic is working already.
otherwise
i probably wouldn't have a lawn full of loam, right?
so much soil, the dumpletruck needed two spots to drop it down.
18 fat rounded yards of earthy hottness, kids.
first thing in the flippin' dawn's early light,
and we've got trucks and sh!t poopin' out brown mounds.
we doo-doo that compost-enriched business, b!tchbags.
recognize.
***********
here's a recap of the weekend's haps, ninjas:
*BIG heads, duders-

the big head sculpture in my garage is so big.
how big is it?
it's SO big,
i ran out of paint trying to cover it over in a base of blackness.
that's really mutha-flippin' large (and in charge).
more head = more paint = more awesome.
that's math, miki-fikis.
-
* the darth bicycle-

mixed-slick treads and bmx pedals got transferred
onto this righteous rig of black and silver dirt-road destruction.
y'know, i'd almost never even used this menacing mutha-b!tch.
now, it's got utilitarian big-kid business added-in,
so it's kinda ON, y'heard?
you like that there's no brand affiliation on the frame, huh?
yeah, me too.
...now go ride your jauns, ninjas.
-
* treats!
(they are secret b-day treats. so no paparazzi shots for your face)
treat from far off, treats from nearby, and treats from within.
oh man,
i got some luxurious white-person presents from out west.
western new hampshire, i mean,
not somewhere lame. (which is to say: everywhere else)
the presents are actually from the far east, or the middle east,
or the farthest east part of the middle,
or the closest part of the far,
or somethin'.
mostly, though, it's just super-dopeness.
naturally.
***********
now it's back to work,
like a F*n' jerk.
it's destined to be a short week, though-
what with saturday's big birthday party-time early-dismissal,
and fuming fresh fireworking festivities on sunday...
still, work happens in-between, and that's weak sauce.
i'm on my A-game. maybe even my A*-game-
after a restless night of tossing and turning,
i'm still feeling recharged, like an EBT card-
i mean, it IS the first of the month;
never quiet, never soft.....
