                <description><![CDATA[ Neat.  We have a president that doesn't make up words in the middle of major speeches.  That was a good one yesterday if I do say so myself.  Although much of the world has yet to see large-scale change, I wanted to take a few seconds so say that the Hope effect is starting to tweak some Americans' outlooks.  Even here in the usually insignificant state of Iowa, democrats have mustered up enough political capital to let us homos get married.  Neat.<br /><br />I'm not saying there will be a Palestine next week or that genocide in Africa is almost over.  I just want those still suffering to keep Hope close at hand when things get rough.  I know it's cheesy but I think I heard Oprah say back in the '90s that sometimes in order for a person to soar, they have to bounce; and that means hitting the bottom and hitting it hard.<br /><br />Okay, I won't rant any more.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was recently featured for my poem, Becoming Magnolia, <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://MackTheDeuce.deviantart.com/art/Becoming-Magnolia-18412071"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/images/150/shared/poetry.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span>.  You may find the feature here: <a href="http://lustingbeauty.blogspot.com/">[link]</a> on the Tuesday 2/24th post.  Thanks a bunch to *<a class="u" href="http://flesh2stone.deviantart.com/">flesh2stone</a> for his generous support!<br /><br />...<br /><br />In unrelated news ... I was arrested ( <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/weed.gif" width="20" height="19" alt=":weed:" title="This is your brain; This is drugs; This is your brain on drugs!" /> ) and fired from my job in early February so I've been rearranging my page whenever I get depressed.  There are so many of you who have no idea how much your kind words have meant to me.  I literally do not have time to thank you all personally but I wanted to let everyone know that even the smallest kind comments make a big difference...and I'm sure it's not just me so please don't stop.  You don't even have to do it for me -- make someone's day and leave them a note!<br /><br />Kisses,<br />P<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I chose =<a class="u" href="http://asmodeus42.deviantart.com/">asmodeus42</a> for a few reasons.  So much of his work is really colorful.  The work is all composed very well as you can see from the pieces I plucked from his gallery and the abstract collection in my favorites.  With an interesting emphasis on found graffiti & street art, I think there's an additional element of authenticity in the work.  No one makes rust look nearly as elegant.  Enjoy the art.<br /><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/61728746/"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs16/150/f/2007/219/8/c/Fixed_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31040563/"><img src="http://th08.deviantart.com/fs10/150/i/2006/087/3/e/Fleck_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="150" height="106" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/72368209/"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs24/150/f/2007/351/0/d/0d0ec07841ca49cb.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/81027625/"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs28/150/f/2008/085/7/e/7eb80b88966f9518.jpg" width="150" height="101" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58650401/"><img src="http://th04.deviantart.com/fs16/150/f/2007/179/6/e/Shear_Strength_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/29113055/"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs9/150/i/2006/046/a/f/Stop_The_War_Stencil_by_meccavelli.jpg" width="149" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/54874182/"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs16/150/f/2007/127/6/6/Shit_For_Brains_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42298926/"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs12/150/i/2006/304/5/2/Turn_The_Key_To_Be_Free_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/74904783/"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs24/150/f/2008/017/4/d/4db54b0c1fdc99a4.jpg" width="150" height="101" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/48159310/"><img src="http://th00.deviantart.com/fs14/150/f/2007/036/b/3/Two_Bits_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/58426192/"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs18/150/f/2007/176/f/6/A_War_On_Yesterday_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/64539302/"><img src="http://th01.deviantart.com/fs21/150/f/2007/252/f/0/Geisha_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/49720173/"><img src="http://th05.deviantart.com/fs14/150/f/2007/057/f/7/Time_Zones_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37960953/"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs11/150/i/2006/225/8/8/Buried_Treasure_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52760034/"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.com/fs15/150/f/2007/098/6/c/Bubblicious_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="113" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/61816220/"><img src="http://th02.deviantart.com/fs17/150/f/2007/220/b/a/Clocktease_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="100" height="150" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/62330602/"><img src="http://th03.deviantart.com/fs19/150/f/2007/226/d/d/Orc_Barrel_by_asmodeus42.jpg" width="150" height="101" /></a></span></span><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31987548/"><im... ]]></description>

There was an interesting panel discussion followed by the art preview prior to the exhibit's opening today.<br /><br />The topic may have been dismal but I could not stop thinking of the election about to happen.  I voted by mail over a week ago but I'm still just waiting to exhale.  Living in Iowa where Obama won his first caucus contest sometimes seems particularly precious a moment to have in one's life.  Being in our state's old legislative building (newly remodeled) made me hopeful for continued improvement.  Anyone would be better than the special needs president we have now.  Okay I have to stop myself and go to work.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/weed.gif" width="20" height="19" alt=":weed:" title="This is your brain; This is drugs; This is your brain on drugs!" /><br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

I'd like to thank =<a class="u" href="http://dailydeviants.deviantart.com/">DailyDeviants</a> for the attention and support.  Here's the link to the journal: <a href="http://dailydeviants.deviantart.com/journal/21163953/">[link]</a> - also, a special thanks to `<a class="u" href="http://gaioumonbatou.deviantart.com/">GaioumonBatou</a> for suggesting my work.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad to be a free man again.  Hopefully I will have more time in the coming weeks to work on some larger projects.  I have to go to bed and get some cuddles.  I feel neglected and my pussycat misses me.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/weed.gif" width="20" height="19" alt=":weed:" title="This is your brain; This is drugs; This is your brain on drugs!" /><br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

I have to spend the weekend in the Johnson County Jail.  Do not pass go.  Do not collect $200.  Apparently the state of Iowa thinks it's a bad idea for me to smoke pot.  Someone should really tell them that sending a queer like me to jail is like putting a kid in a candy store.  It's a good thing orange is TOTALLY my color.<br /><br />Okay, seriously though: no more Mary Jane for a while.  I have fines to pay off and deviants to visit.  Wish me luck!<br /><br />Salaam<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/weed.gif" width="20" height="19" alt=":weed:" title="This is your brain; This is drugs; This is your brain on drugs!" /><br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

Sarah Palin might be able to see Russia from her house but John McCain won't see a foreclosure sign on any of his NINE houses; nor can he see the four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline sign from behind the tinted windows in one of his THIRTEEN cars.  Soon to be President-Elect, Obama, has exactly ONE house and ONE car, a hybrid I might add.<br /><br />I'm excited to see the debate tonight for which McCain is clearly not prepared for.  Hurricane McCain is about to be downgraded to a presidential depression.  I can see it now.  John will come on stage wearing some country suit looking like a Biloxi undertaker.  As an Iowan with a finger on the country's political pulse, this one's D.O.A..<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/weed.gif" width="20" height="19" alt=":weed:" title="This is your brain; This is drugs; This is your brain on drugs!" /><br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

I like that it was "Bristol's choice" but her mother doesn't really want any Americans to have any other alternatives.  Perhaps Sarah Palin should snow machine her way out of the lower 48; I'm convinced she's only there in case John McCain needs an emergency supply of Alaskan mojo to fight off Dr. Evil.<br /><br />=<a class="u" href="http://mragrimm.deviantart.com/">mragrimm</a> and I saw DNC Chairman, Howard Dean, speak in Iowa City last week for Barrack Obama.

Well, guess what?  DA STILL blows.  No surprise there.  The one suggestion I would make is that I'd like it to save my preferences for the deviations in my inbox....I watch literally HUNDREDS of deviants and I love the fact that I can start from the oldest and sort by artist but if I have to change the settings every time I look at an image...I just want to beat a small puppy.  I'm not a violent person but DA sometimes makes me want to break things.<br /><br />I guess . . . if I have to . . .<br /><br />I'm going to go smoke some pot and take a few mushrooms and see if i enjoy it more but somehow I doubt it.  Peace in the Midwest.<br /><br />Insha'Allah,<br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

I want to occasionally feature another deviant I've grown to love.  I think posting 16 [4x4] of my favorite images by a single artist will pretty-up my page while promoting good work.  If you know someone who Mack should mack on, let me know.  I'll check them out, yo.<br /><br />~<a class="u" href="http://moryah.deviantart.com/">Moryah</a> is a deviant I can never get enough of.  I've found her work inspiring and emotional.  Although we're half a world away (I'm in Iowa, she's in Poland) we've managed to collaborate more than once and I love all that we've produced.  Enough from me.

I'll gradually be taking most of it out of this one in favor of the best of the best.  It's really so I can keep track of it better.  Plus keeping the sexy pictures seperate might also be better for certain purposes.<br /><br />Later.<br />Here are the first three posts that were never in my gallery:<br />I'm getting excited for vacation as you might guess.  Two more weeks.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/77197098/"><img src="http://tn1-1.pv.deviantart.com/fs25/150/i/2008/043/7/b/F_O_U_R_by_MackTheZephyr.jpg" width="150" height="114" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/77196970/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs26/150/f/2008/043/4/6/Sanibel_by_MackTheZephyr.jpg" width="149" height="150" /></a></span></span><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/77196653/"><img src="http://tn1-3.pv.deviantart.com/fs26/150/f/2008/043/6/3/Fort_Myers_by_MackTheZephyr.jpg" width="150" height="113" /></a></span></span><br /><br />Insha'Allah,<br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

My court date for getting stoned is on Wednesday.  Wish me luck.  On a brighter note, I'm going to Florida for a week with =<a class="u" href="http://mragrimm.deviantart.com/">mragrimm</a> at the end of this month until March 4th.  I'm also planning to meet and work with ^<a class="u" href="http://arachnid15.deviantart.com/">arachnid15</a> in the near future.  After having a short discussion with him I've also decided to make some changes to the way I run my shit here on DA.  I'm going to keep MackTheDeuce around but with a few key alterations.  I'm going to use this account to feature my favorite and best pieces of art.  Much will soon be deleted.  For Organizational purposes I plan to create different accounts for my writing and some for a few different kinds of photography.  When you get as many deviations as I have, DA gets messy even for a Beta Tester.<br /><br />Peace to my home boys!<br />Fuck the rest a y'all!<br />Just kiddin' you know I love you.<br /><br />Insha'Allah,<br />Patrick<br />MackTheDeuce ]]></description>

I'm thinking of leaving all together.  I don't want to at all.  There are so many amazing artists and a few very supportive individuals.  I am, however, concerned with the site's downward spiral in the last year.  Everyone is fighting.  I stay out of it most of the time but when people start playing 'art police' in my gallery I begin to have issues.  I thought I signed up for DEVIANTart, not COMPLACENTart.  I'm sorry some people were offended by my still life images ... a shock to me considering my nude content.  Perhaps if someone would have explained why my pictures were taken down the first time I asked then I might not have resubmitted them ... which resulted in my one-week suspension.  I log on and now all I can smell is censorship!<br />
<br />
Give me some reasons to stay, people.  I love this site more than I love America and I still want out more than I want to move away from this ridiculous farce-of-a-government.  Grow some balls, DA.<br /><br />Insha'Allah,<br />

Then I got hired to work for Hillary in her Iowa caucus campaign.  God did that feel dirty or what.  I'm working on a letter to the Des Moines Register.  Sweet Jesus, keep me near the cross.  HAHA!  Then I moved.  Again.  Now I'm just trying to keep myself from burning this place DOOOWWWN!  It seems I've been offered a job stocking overnight at Target.  Luckily, I should be able to pass the piss test.  22 Days without smokey treats now.  I've also become so annoyed by Myspace that I felt the need to delete half of my top 8 & set my profile to private.<br />
<br />
Just letting you all know I'm still alive, even if I am 9,300 deviations & 75 Journals behind.  (I've missed a lot)<br /><br />Insha'Allah,<br />

I feel horrible for not keeping this up better ... things just went. downhill for me on DA after my vacation back in February ... just a shit-ton of important things I've been having to deal with lately ... like moving, changing jobs, jostling around my top 8 on myspace, helping friends move and getting stoned out of my gourd.  I'm planning on making a slow comeback the next couple weeks but I won't have many new pictures unless I can get your help.<br />
<br />
I need some models in Nebraska or South Dakota.  If not, then at least someone with some private land so I can take self portraits.  I'm traveling for work in those areas so if you or anyone you know might be interested, hit me up.  Otherwise. no new pics until Labor Day.  Will try hard to catch up on Journals and old Devs nightly though.<br />
<br />
Peace out brothers and sisters.<br />

It's quite the long story.  If you're really interested, read my myspace blog from Sunday, May 20th.<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm still sexy.  *<a class="u" href="http://stpeteartisan.deviantart.com/">StPeteArtisan</a> has reproduced a photograph of me taken by =<a class="u" href="http://mragrimm.deviantart.com/">mragrimm</a> in painting form for charity.  I'd like to thank him for exaggerating my features in all the right places.  GOD WHO IS THAT STUD?  Would someone please purchase it for a large amount of money to help make me famous?  Better yet, would someone just make the call to PAMELA TRIMPE, the Asst. curator of painting and sculpture at the University Of Iowa Museum Of Art and request that the well-funded school start buying this man's work?  They bought a spinning BIG BOY for Christ's sake.  Her work phone number is (319)335-0546.  I figure if several fellow deviants make a minor fuss, we might make some progress in the field of nude artistry and the male figure - not to mention fixing THE AIDS PROBLEM.  OH YEAH, THAT.  Plus, I wouldn't mind seeing a larger-than-life version of my phallus on display at the university I used to attend.  Come on, think of the kids.<br />

I tried a new drug this past weekend & I must say it was quite enjoyable.  I don't know how big the alleged-ice-cream-scoops-out-of-my-brain were supposed to be but I certainly don't feel any dumber.  The experience stimulated parts of my brain I haven't used since pre-school.  It made me want an old fashioned cherry coke again.  During my trip my senses were heightened while at the same time distorted; enough so to alter the ways in which I think about physical objects.  I can't look at anything now without feeling it.  It forces my brain to unconditionally accept the idea that everything is made of the same parts.  The plastic and metal components of the very computer I'm writing this on are no more or less real than my blood and organs.  If something is real, then it is alive (maybe not in the way we currently understand life, but alive, no doubt).  I have so much more respect my surroundings, whatever they may be at any given moment.  What is here is as real as I am and so we are equal.  In 10,000 years, pieces of this computer might be in my heir's food.  Parts of my decomposed cells could be reformed and put into orbit.  We are probably both suffering and benefiting from our ancestors' choices and physical interactions with their surroundings.<br />
<br />
Enough ranting for now . . . I just wanted to get some ideas down while the knowledge was fresh.<br />

I haven't renewed my subscription yet (I know it's cheap but my checking account has been negative for a couple weeks now) so there are nearly 2700 deviations for me to look at once I get it turned back on . . . not to mention edited photographs . . . . I posted two political yet playful poems . . . . for my homies who actually miss me.  HAHA!  I promise I will get my shit together in the next two weeks at the latest.

It made me giggle.  Thanks everyone.  I never expected so much support just for getting my cock out.  Why am I not getting paid for this?<br />

<br />
She's new at this okay!?  She's gonna have to get a few tips from Bill if she wants to get into the white . . . oh wait I forgot SHE WAS ALREADY THE FUCKING PRESIDENT!!!  I mean seriously, don't we all know she's got the balls of the Clinton household?  Bill's been rumored to have recently sent a political cartoon of himself and former Pres. Papa Bush engaged in a lewd homosexual act TO OLD MAN GEORGE!  Bill is done.  New Rule: no more presidents named Bill, George, Henry, John or hillbilly-fucking-Ronald; they are clearly all idiots.  When does baby Apple turn 35?  How about Madonna's new Malawian adoptee?  What about little Elian Gonzolez?  You don't think ALL these kids are gonna die young & without citizenship . . . okay and a few constitutional amendments later, won't want to be president?  Just wow.<br /><br />Is your roof on fire?<br />

I'm sure it has something to do with the nasty self portraits (must be the Janet Jackson spilling out from within) but I appreciate it anyhow.  I've got a job measuring crops on the road for a couple weeks and it's given me some down time to actually do some of them they way I've wanted to for so long and by popular demand.  My next task, aside from more self portraiture, is to do a few features on some of my favorite deviants.  I want to focus on several international artists who I've come to love and be inspired by.  Their work gets me through the day without a doubt.  More to come in that department in the next few days.<br />

It just became much more of a satire than I intended and expected.  No Chap stick on planes now, huh?  You'd think this should have been a security issue for many years, but only now is the illusion of security being offered.  They'll get us my pretties, and your Palmer's lip balm too.<br /><br />[fin]<br />

Someone was going to blow that shit up with plastic explosives.  I understand lighters.  I understand box cutters.  I'm not even entirely against looking in someone's Prada shoes, but you take away my lotion and hair gel and there will be hell to pay.  Okay, NOW the terrorists have won.  See what you did?  You just can't stop buying Pepsi, can you?  Well, I'm off to pawn some precious belongings so I can pay a bill and have an actual meal tonight.  Have a swell day . . . hopefully not near the airport.<br /><br />[fin]<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I dreamt of walking through Baghdad, smiling for its presence alone.  A woman in bloodied rags who would have danced only mourned the rising sun.  I wanted to put music in her soul.  Without lyrics.  Without words to mean.  Without agendas to poke and prod.  Only sound.  Only passion to mean.  Only the movements inside trying to escape.  She would dance for me if I could whistle her tuned desire.  Shed only dance for me if I were there.  Awake.  In the middle of the day.  Without bombs.  Without imperial sodomy.  Without the splitting of self from God-self.  Only melody.  Only notes to cover up fear.  Only a glimmer of hope to keep alive.<br />
<br />
	I watch CNN when Im depressed.  To get the tears out.  To feel less important.  To rain secret want for another kind of peace.  Not the peace enforced with arms, but the peace that lets spirits rest.  The kind of peace that moves from within.  The peace that breathes brave air and dances under its nocturnal blanket.  Solace does not occur because governments, religions or societies want them.  Solace occurs only in the mind.  Only for the self.  Only because she dreamt of an infidel far away harmonizing hope.  Learning to love the hated is the greatest accomplishment one can hope to achieve.   Becoming the hated gives you melody and harmony.  Two.  Question and answer.  Voice and echo.  All stones thrown and we begin to throw our belongings, our homes and our children at our enemies like virgin pawns.  Do not fear death.  Death will come.  Death is lifes echo.  Its harmony.  Its answer.  The only bliss you will ever feel wont come until youre gone, taken away and made to realize how much you love and miss all youve ever hated.<br />

Still poor, but cashing in old vacation hours.  Next Friday rules my world.  Went to my first gay bar out here, called Encompass, as in, "oh baby, let me encompass you."  So hot.  Natalie is in Canada for a wedding this weekend, but she and you all will be happy to know that I've begun editing many of her photographs to post and print.  Sweet deal.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so usually, I'd resubscribe myself, but moving to the Chicago area has presented its financial burdens upon me.  Would a generous soul please turn my little picture back on so I can fav some of the 563 unsorted deviations I've yet to weed through?  I don't like to beg, but it seems 'tis all I can do.  Beggars cannot be choosers, which is a good deal for us indecisive folk.  I'm not the Oliver Twist of the methadone clinic asking, 'please, sir, can I have some more.'  I just want the bigger pictures so I can love you all faster.  Not more, just faster.  You like it fast - don't even lie to yourself.<br />

In case some have not made the connection; I am currently co-working on another DA name, ~<a class="u" href="http://acesdeuces.deviantart.com/">AcesDeuces</a> with my best friend and roommate, Natalie, for our upcoming design business.  We've posted very few things, but I have Trixy Doll back for a few days so I'll be posting most of her shots in the Aces/Deuces gallery, which means you won't see them here.  The other gallery will focus on the fashion and design art and mine will continue with photography and poetry, which will gain some focus in the process as well.  Is it cruel to make everyone pay attention to me twice?  I think not.<br />
Thanks, Yo.<br />

I posted a couple poems today that I had around since April and never got entered into my monumental collection, so here they are, on their seven month anniversary.  Why seven?  Seven Vogues, people; count 'em.  Anyway, the poem, Seven Vogues, will also be getting a new preview and I'll be posting it as a seperate deviation as well.<br />
<br />
Look forward to that.<br />
