Jane and Lohbado in the Garden of Oogah

Dr. Jane Wormsly and Lohbado took off their clothes one summer afternoon and ran around the garden. A strange creature fanned their desire. They did the OOO CHA incantation to Oogah and Oorsis.

Lohbado mind

acrylic on wood

Lohbado mind has many church-like windows, allowing him to gaze in and out. He wears a religious mask over his eyes. Lohbado dissolving into and out of worlds within worlds, his brain opening like a pomegranate or some sort of rose compote.

the evil eye

How Lohbado dealt with the evil eye... At first he thought of attaching an eyeball pendant to his clothing, or wearing an eyeball decoration around his neck.

dog

Lohbado glued a photo of a dog to a canvas panel, painted on the photo, clipped his beard and chest hair to add texture to the dog, threw in some other material and framed it will some old wood.

One day, when Lohbado was about five years old, his older brother Tony, who was eight, told him they were going to fight the enemy. There would be a little battle and Lohbado would have to fight.

A list of firsts: Lohbado memoir episode 4

Pick up a paint brush. Write the memoir with paint brush. There’s something magical about holding a brush and pulling it across a surface. The brush leaves a trail of paint, visual sensation with emotional overtone or mental vibration... Here’s where it disintegrates into poetic fancy...  or silence.

Memoir Paradox, post 3 of Lohbado's Memoir

Lohbado painting, acrylic on canvas

Lohbado was a sixty-year old retired man, who two episodes ago sat down to write his fictionalized memoir. He had no intension of exposing foibles or airing dirty laundry. He viewed his memoir as an opportunity to explore the nature of being alive, even if such an exploration turned out to be meandering and often non-conceptual... meaning things happened which didn’t always make sense.

Lohbado's Identity

Ok, so you’re trying to write your memoir. First step is to find out who you’re writing about. Who is myself? This isn’t a flaky question. How can you write your memoir if you can’t locate the self being written about?

Lohbado's Memoir

Go ahead... begin

a beginningless situation

With the help of a dummy’s guide to memoir writing, Lohbado sat down to write his hominoid history. He didn’t know where to begin. His life had no beginning.  He evolved from a single-celled organism, eventually reached ape-hood, became Neandrathol, then Cro-Magnon until evolving into Homo Sapien. His race could be traced back to the origin of the human race. He originated in Mesopotamia a few hundred thousand years ago.

His motivation for writing a memoir...  to make peace with existence as he prepared for the final descent into old age and death. He stood at a gate to the vast wilderness of his mind, filled with forests, mountains, deserts, lakes, rivers and ocean, a roaring chaos. Overwhelmed, Lohbado had a cup of coffee. The coffee made him jumpy, so he had a beer. The beer made him drowsy, so he had a nap. After the nap, he decided to have a snack and to start fresh again the next day. He’d accomplished enough for one day. He’d roused motivation and determination. Even though he hadn’t yet begun, he’d made his intentions clear. Lohbado was determined to write his memoirs.

These pictures along Cote des Neiges indicate health, happiness, smile with implants or false teeth, order a quality wig, buy a new medical uniform, whatever you wish.

boring pictures

Of course, what do you mean by boring picture? As Lohbado got older, he found it easier to sit by a window and enjoy the view of a quiet panorama. Of course, he was seated on the third floor of a library. Maybe it's not so quiet down there on the street.
