31 December 192.  The Emporer Commodus is strangled in his bath by his 'wrestling partner' Narcissus, as seen in BunnyVision©. Take this, Sir, may it serve you well.   One of my first good rabbit drawings, and a favorite.  2013.

  On this day I want to tell you about, which will be about a thousand years from now, there were a boy, a girl and a love story. Now although I haven't said much so far, none of it is true. The boy was not what you and I would normally think of as a boy, because he was a hundred and eighty-seven years old. Nor was the girl a girl, for other reasons; and the love story did not entail that sublimation of the urge to rape and concurrent postponement of the instinct to submit which we at present understand in such matters. You won't care much for this story if you don't grasp these facts at once. If, however, you will make the effort, you'll likely enough find it jam-packed, chockfull and tiptop-crammed with laughter, tears and poignant sentiment which may, or may not, be worth while.

This happens among these people: when aught untoward is about to befall within a certain time all those that dwell about their city, the priestess of Athene then grows a great beard. This had already happened to them twice. 105. Hermotimus, who came from this place Pedasa, had achieved a fuller vengeance for wrong done to him than had any man within my knowledge. Being taken captive by enemies and exposed for sale, he was bought by one Panionius of Chios, a man that had set himself to earn a livelihood out of most wicked practices; he would procure beautiful boys and castrate and take them to Sardis and Ephesus, where he sold them for a great price; for the foreigners value eunuchs more than perfect [ enorchiôn , literally ...

  I do nothing but worry. I rush into things. I cannot stay focused. I have very bad memories. Dilemma: A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones. Logic is all nonsense to me. I have always felt trapped and redundant. I find socializing a strain. The days blend into months and become years. The world is a fearful place and I am alone. I am always being singled out. Having proved myself I lose interest in any project. My artwork is the same thing over and over again.. . ...as are my dreams. I think I'm perfect in every way... ...yet my sins are always here to stay. There is no escape in this life or the next. Between the motion and the act Falls the Shadow I recommend ...
