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’.

            she had been a stripper
            a drug addict and a whore

            and I loved her dearly

            the glow of a woman at peace
            a woman that knows the depth
            and breathe of the boundless range of
            all experience
            gorgeous - full blown - woman
            fearless - crazy - fucking woman

            thankfully crazy
            for its in the madness
            that a man truly comes to know himself
            an explorer of the frightening wilderness
            a wilderness he knows in his heart
            as home

            the mother of all things
            rains down bliss and death
            with the whimsy of the very weather
            born murdered and died
            again and again
            the primordial art of the cave
            the porn rack at 7-11

            I love you both
            for your ends exceed me
            and tear me asunder

            in short

            you blow my sweet motherfuckin’ lil mind
            and thank god for that!
