with T minus 4 days remaining.

What the fuck am I about to do to myself.

I don't know.

Stop.

Stop.

---

don't go up there

---

Stop.

What you are about to do to yourself is

a whole lot of really bad fucks,

Scout's honor.

Don't do it, don't go up there.

You want to know where this picture was taken?

Of course you do.

This was taken on East Ball Mountain,

which believe it or not is a peak

that stands more or less directly east of…

Ball Mountain.

---

don't go up there!

---

That's it,

right there,

that's it now,

and so now behold my Self-Portrait No. 3.

I am a most excellent artist.

Do not doubt me.

I will fulfill my word

and I will art my artwork,

always,

all of the words and artworks and promises,

just as promised and just as expected.

---

don't go up there

---

Come back,

come back.

I will be back.

You will see me here

in T minus 4 days.

Hello from the high Rockies of Colorado. My name is Brandt, pleased to meet you. I’m a writer but I probably shouldn’t be. I live in a little ghost town called Leadville. If you like mountains, snow, jokes, running, hiking, breathing, self-portraiting, etc., then you and I have a lot in common. Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day!
