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’.

            People come into life a soft fluffy laughness and they get fucked over or just plain fucked When I was young I dried right up into a brittle shell and I longed for a literary device to save me My favorite was redemption but it never happened and I just got hard as nails and a thousand years later I turned into a diamond and then I bought a moped. I’d lost the mayoral election so I’d gotten drunk on that bottle of whiskey dad had given me the Memorial Day weekend before he died. He never did buy me that moped though, like he’d promised. Of course I realize now it wasn’t because of some strange meanness, we just didn’t have the money. And I was a shitty brat of a kid. He’d given me everything plus the shirt on his back and I never thanked him. Or told him that I loved him. So I stripped off all my clothes and stole a moped. It was a late summer evening, everything felt like a hard rock video ballad done in slo-motion. I rode up and down the streets, yelling at the houses, “My mind is a nail that has turned into a diamond.” “I loved my father,” I cried. A few people wandered out and lined the street, life some half assed parade. And the music built and the sun exhaled, blowing out the light in everyones mind, in other words I then proceeded to play the coolest guitar solo ever and my heart and mind fucked each other in a nearby tree. I then realized there is redemption in death and was freed.
