ever feel like you can be replaced in the blink of an eye, with no one questioning or even noticing? ever feel inconsequential, like your presence makes no impact on the world or let alone among your friends? ever feel lost and stuck at the same time while losing every attribute that makes you you?

well, i have. and i’m feeling it now.

and to top it off, mr. dressup died. ernie coombs, the man behind mr. dressup, died of a stroke on tuesday. how i loved him and his tickle-trunk. (hmm. that doesn’t sound too good.) but his drawings made me smile as a wide-eyed toddler and i will forever remember him and the enthusiasm he put into every show i watched.
