I'm jello

Well I had three previous wives

Well they dint get the premise

Well when the time came they got the thigh itch

Well they just put the vows on hold

Well as you can guess that part of my psyche is preloaded

Nowadays

Well when the notion pops up

Well I just figure, I’ve had a good life

Well if that’s how it goes

Well if that’s how it’s gonna be



Hoka Hey

Try 'The Politician' for yogic satisfaction

The Politician
Otherwise known as the

head-up-ass pose

or

Mugg-up-wump pose



It won't do anything for you, but neither will a politician

I'd like to spend my next long weekend Alive

Alive, is a good place to start

Say, whuts goin on?

Google keeps putting me in downtown SF

What the hell?

Is there a message in it?

Am I supposed to run for Mayor?

Do I need a cosmopolitan change of scenery?

Do I long for the Doggy Diner?

The pointer is only blocks from Tommy's Joint.

SF is a good place to be at 3:05 a.m. after missing your Greyhound.

Liquor store on every, every corner

Although I'd have to learn Arabic or Farsi

Other

If you don't mess with me, I'm incredibly easy to please.

Pretend that you know the rudiments of driving on the public roadway.

Don't steal the milk from my porch in the morning

Don't come to my house with pamphlets pretending you know the Great spirit

If I get drunk, make sure I don't fall asleep on my back

Stay off my property, except to use it for a short cut.

Don't call me in the evening when Jeopardy is on



Obey all these simple wishes

Then

My criteria for my location on the earth

Wherever my wife lives...

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Oh, but, I don't

Being a breed and all...

I made it one of my life’s tasks to not own

I failed that task

To say the least we live in the sticks, bushes, woods, outta town.

During the first month we met nearest neighbor {250-300 yards away}

He reported in a grumpy voice [I had a verbal agreement to buy this property]

Well Boo Fnnn Hooo.

A year later I found him on the property cutting brush.

Went to the house got my recurve 50# bow, went back and informed him he was trespassing, and he had 30 seconds to live.

Other neighbor lives bout half mile off

His driveway is my easement

Thinks it’s OK to store his 40’ RV on “his” driveway

Also thinks it’s OK to start that ass-hole thing at 3 a.m. {“gotta take it in to the shop”}

Well Boo Fnnn Hooo

For 4 years he’s been cleaning his leaves and debris and dumping it on my place

My wife councils me to pick my fights carefully

So I did

As I have a wont to do, I allowed my alligator mouth to overload my hummingbird ass

And replied

That all makes perfect sense to a halfwit low-life cunt, but not to me

Get that crap back in your truck and high-tail it offa here



Ah the model of the neighbor ya wished for

Ain’t I?

Wife's gonna hate smaller

Strange as it sounds, she fights depression and boredom cleaning house and weeding in the gardens.

Gotta outlive her because not being here{small house, big property} will kill her slowly

Squirrels one and all

Assuming squirrels and peacocks are metaphors for the recent NBC late night television shenanigans.

The question is not who wins, but who loses.

IN the midst of a major {recession, depression. economic slow down}

In the midst of people world wide coughing up funds and aid for the poor beleaguered Haitians

In the midst of the expense of two incredibly poorly thought out "Wars"

In the midst of all the strife in most every African nation

In the midst of Us selling America to China in exchange for a few poorly made trinkets

We get to witness a gutless myopic halfwit television consortium being extorted by a couple of questionably funny guys



Whoda, whoda, whoda, whoda thunkit...

Yeah, yeah, yeahhhhhhhhh

I miss Humanity

A true sense of community

A time when people cared about people

This brings up

Civility

When you care about people, you care about people

Manners

Respect

When you care about people, you care about people



Future

When people care about people

They care about them long term

They cast off their own personal hang-ups

in

Deference to the needs* of the people they care about





*

All of us have needs

Love

Hate

Food

Drink

Clean air

Music

Acceptance of death

Acceptance of life

Sex {Ya think?}

Drugs {Pot, Opium, Religion, Chocolate, Scotch, }

Rock n Roll {no question}

Food that makes ya endure the absence of any of the above

Nothing

Nothing
The extreme far right and extreme far left have divided my country so completely that it doesn't seem to be my country any longer.

Both have waged an inexhaustible campaign of pseudo intellectualism, pseudo Christianity, division, derision, misinformation and purely {me first}unamericanism.

Nothing of note can be accomplished

Ergo

Nothing of note has...

Lucky me, a large earthquake has struck a close neighboring country.

"Some" Caucasian people live there so it's a no brainer to help them

Kinda looks like we care


We the people
What We?

IN THIS ORDER

I don't get headaches.

Every headache In my life has been situational and has been the direct result of my actions or lack thereof.

But

If it feels like your head is in a vice




1. Take your head out of the vice and stand up.

Didn't work?

2. Find a dead black cat, wait till mid-night and go by the graveyard and toss it over the fence.

Didn't work?

3. Turn on the radio to Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh, a pain in the ass always trumps a head ache.

Didn't work?

4. George Smith's best

What bright idea?

This Plink_Bot has requested "us" to go to a corner of the universe I seldom haunt.

1. Lets round up and jail sober drivers.

    Truth be known more people are maimed and killed by sober drivers.

    Check out the annual stats, they'll bear it out.

    The police can't breathalize...

      a. stupidity

      b. sociopathic tendencies

      c. self centered belly button watching humans

      d. people too cheap to maintain their own vehicles

      e. people that think others should pay because "they are late"

      f. people that think the public roadway is their private playground



Oh excuse me, I thought you said blight ideas

Beaded moccasins are my favorite

1 pair of beaded moccasins
I made em


1 pair of Swiss made suede wing tips
Bought em drunk

Cost more than my most expensive guitar

Wife hates em


Bare feet
Easy to find

Never get a mismatched pair


mismatched pair
some times it's fun to put on a pair that are the same color but not mates.

Go down town

Down town such as it is

Sonoma Beach

It's an old Petaluma joke

But

As long as map-quest chose to display The Great Highway

As a youth it was a good place to do night drags

As a youth, some of my low-life friends would dump cars after yanking the motors

  mostly 409s and 427s

As a youth, there was a great place called PlayLand

As a youth, there was a place called WinterLand(great early rock shows)

    Most notably The Last Waltz

Is there really choice?

Oh, I thought the prompt was a discusion of

A. EGO

VS

B. Blindness



A.

I'm not much to look at and I'm never involved in anything of great interest

   So

   Seen wouldn't be my bag



B.

The world and everything beyond has so many trillions of things both material

dynamic, that seeing is the bees knees

   color

   shades

   hues

   light

   texture

   movement

Not to denigrate the blind amongst us, but they was robbed

I crashed real hard in 1962 and was blind for 15 or 16 days

Kinda took the wind outta my sails

Mane event

Jeeez don't go there on my say so

Just a good memory



Pure Geezer Lech goin here

Three years ago I had a big surgery, which didn’t allow showers for 6 weeks

A friend was over playing and said “Thom your head stinks”

He called his wife’s salon and drove me over.

I’m still high on pain pills

Gorgeous woman named Cindy with low cut top

Shampooed me

Never had a shampoo(out) in my life

Her hanging over me with her chesticles out is burnt into my main memory

Pure Geezer Lech goin here

Puberty, ah puberty, what's it good for?



Math:



At a time in my life when nothing but violence and robbery and mayhem were the only thing that made sense, I could go to Math class

Algebra 1 & 2

Plain and solid geometry

Calculus

Trig

Statistical analysis

and

even the dick teaching them

made sense

The outcome was always as predictable as the 4-5 shift in a six speed transmission.

No lies

No head trips

A kid that fealt stupid, fat, ugly and worthless could find a welcome rest

Something in the universe was OK

Puberty, ah puberty, what's it good for?

I guess in retrospect, it's there to make the rest of life seem like a walk in the park

Absolutely nothin

Say it again, say it again

Can I get a witness?



However I do have advanced knowledge concerning

Drug/Alcoholic partnerships, wives, friends*

Mechanics

Software, data access development

Going fast on motorcycles

Wilderness survival

Patience

Gardening

Selecting single malt highland and Islay scotch



I'm an abject failure as a

Parent

Husband

Uncle

Friend



Remember in the new year

Garfield says:

Use your friends wisely







*I've used a lot(drugs and hooch), but am way too up-tight to let it controll my life

Grease Monkey BS

1. Mechanics Tools
I'm neither an auto nor light aircraft mechanic any longer


2. Homeowner tools
The statement:

"you don't own a house or property, it, they own you"

couldn't be more true.

After 12+ years here I seldom venture out of the house if I'm not getting in the truck to be whisked away to a location where I can't see the place. There is always something to be done.

Sweeping

Mowing

Raking

Pruning

Hauling

Shoveling snow

Carpentry type repairs

Oh woe is me, oh dear, oh my

But ain't He just the Fnn... whiner


3. Get rid of Me
Used to go camping 20+ times a year


4. Knowlege of things that do exist any longer
or matter

I'll stick to this resolve

Not to pick Jan 1 to resolve anything

Too hung over

Too broke

Sometimes I don't know where I am...

Completely amongst strangers

Having trouble finding my truck

My clothes are on backwards or not mine at all

What was the question again?

Friday, January 1, 2010

Not likely It'll be different this year

Could be, but, hmmmm....





Ask me Dec 31 2010 at about 23:00

We'll all know by then
