Hookers or Cake

Where the self-obsessed get serious about silly
I'm too wacky to be hip.

    • ------------------------------------- How this blog got its name

      ------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.

      ----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

            I passed out at some point and had the dream again. I was the tree in the backyard. All my thoughts were little birds that sang in my branches. The wind blew through me and my mind flew in a million directions away. Yet, something remained, smiling and watchful. I saw the old house. I saw the lights come on and turn off. I saw the glow of the TV. I saw the lives come and go and everything become very quiet. I heard a train in the distance. Two birds in a nest. The new moon shining clean through me.
