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’.

            You say void, like its a bad thing

            Calling out into darkness
            two glowing colorful birds appear
            they speak tonal wisdom
            and grow closer and larger until you’re almost inside them

            they announce the arrival of

            The Devourer

            You want life the way you like it
            and you get depressed when you see
            that it may not work out the way you planned

            Its probably for the best
            your childish ideas of love
            were laughable at best

            People spend 98% percent of their lives alone
            even when they’re with people

            in fact being with other people
            oftentimes make the loneliness
            all the more acute

            Something is missing
            perhaps you’re right

            for there are clues that point
            to a missing person
            but its funny, these mysteries
            in the end
            the missing person
            is always yourself
