A Man’s World Review – Bryce Milligan
Sean Ward’s poems are dense with closely observed details, whether they occur in nature or the guts of an engine, in the human psyche or the intricacies of cat behavior.…
wombmates
A pair of twins that subsequently go on to live as roommates.
We figured since we managed to get along so well in such a small space for 9 months, it would be easy to become wombmates again.
Costcop
the Costco worker who checks your receipt as you leave
Costcops pretend to confirm what you’ve bought.
go down on
To go down on a woman is to start her off with nice, long, passionate kisses on the lips, and then down to her neck, and then down to her breasts where you have your pleasure with them, and then you kiss your way across her tummy, and finally, you have ultimate pleasure with orally pleasing her pussy.
“I want to go down on your sister.”
compulsive highlighter
A person who, when reading text on a computer screen, cannot help but constantly select, deselect, and reselect the text.
This highlighting ranges from constantly clicking the text at random, highlighting the words as they are read, or highlighting the words as a bookmark to stay on track.
Jimmy is a compulsive highlighter; he constantly clicks at his computer screen even while he’s just reading!
Easter Bunny
An exceptionally large lagomorph that died for our sins (or was that Jesus?) and, during the month of April, delivers delectable candy treats to all the good little Gentile boys and girls of the world.
On Easter’s Eve, the Easter Bunny arises from his tomb to spread good tidings and tooth-rotting chocolate Christ statuettes to all.
selfie stick
1. a selfie stick
2. slang for one’s own johnson
The Louvre has banned the selfie stick.
Memeophobia
A distinct, 21st century fear that a photograph or video posted on a social network medium will go viral and you will forever be immortalized in internet infamy.
Anthony, don’t post that picture, you know I have memeophobia! I’m afraid to become a meme!
Virtual Models on Digital Sets
About the time I bought my first calculator watch in elementary school, I dreamed about having a machine that could translate my thoughts into pictures.
Fast forward a few decades…
Planes & Domos
Weapons of war (and some toys). You decide which are which.
The Treachery of Easter
The famous Peeps®. How people reproach me for them! And yet, could you stuff my peep down your gullet? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a peep,” I’d have been lying!
Hail Storm
Hail hammered into the roof, trunk, doors, hood, and fenders. It cracked the windshield in a dozen places.
Printshop Portraits: Flohr Print Studio at the Southwest School of Art
Sean Ward, a San Antonio based artist and photographer, documented the Flohr Print Studio at the Southwest School of Art, revealing behind the scenes of the printmaking process.
Peep Mondrian
Easter and its accouterments have grown increasingly abstract, approaching the non-representational through holiday merchandising.
Flotsam
Flotsam was an outdoor cat and disappeared one day. The thought that she might be sick or injured somewhere made me cringe, and I looked for her repeatedly over a period of several weeks. Also, I painted this image of her.
On A Pedestal
Should we do this? Should we exalt anyone beyond our reach? See them as super-heroic? Seems so plastic.
Impressionist Landscapes
There’s something about Impressionist work that captivates me. Perhaps because I was myopic to the point of legal blindness without vision correction, and Monet painted in a way that seemed to validate perceptions my own eyes produced.
Don’t Take Any Wooden Nickels
When members of Congress adopted the strategy of refusing to raise the debt ceiling to gain political leverage, the idea of minting trillion dollar platinum coins to finance government was suggested. And so the Ronald Reagan One Trillion Dollar ($1,000,000,000,000) National Debt Token was born.
Documenting & Exploring Found Art
Close by on a wall made of concrete blocks I noticed the stencil repeated, so I documented the finds with my camera, then claimed the skateboard remnant for my own.
Psyche
The story of Cupid and Psyche has been analyzed from a psychological perspective – exploring archetypes, family, marriage, love, relationships – and it has been examined from the feminist perspective. With that in mind, I don’t think it’s purely a prurient subject choice…
