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’.

            Remind me later when we’re fucking above average prostitutes in a shitty hotel and doing “ok” cocaine, to ask you what your favorite dream about birds was.Mine was the one about the ghost birds that live in the backyard. How they’d sing to me all throughout the night. A quiet soaring note that echoed into the heart of the mountain.

            Naomi Nakazato did a drawing for a story I hadn’t yet created. So here’s the story and here’s the art. FUN! “Even Gods have shitty jobs everyone needs a vacation” - Julius Caesar The All-Knowing-Eye had a summer home up in Martha’s Vineyard. She’d go there all the time. Usually she’d get drunk and kill everything, annihilate the whole island, but last year she sang beautiful songs and wooed us all into the water. I guess once every few hundred years God’s have birthdays or something. So we all just lay their floating, afraid she is gonna destroy us and we’re looking up at the night sky and then someone puts on a Spiritualized album, and we all got baked, floating there, drooling in all that water. I realized, how great it was to be alive and making commercials for things that don’t exist. It made me happy and then I pooped in the ocean.

            Hey I put my full color Kurt Vonnegut t-shirt design on Zazzle.com. It features design elements from his books. My favorite is the fur collar covered with assholes.

            Ouroboros Sometimes I hate the internets fucking guts. It feels like its some dreadful grand inquisitor. Giving us everything we could ever want or need. Maybe its just evolution. I mean, we crawled outta the ocean and the forests to create this quasi fake temperature controlled reality, maybe cyberspace has just become the new outer reaches of inner space. A place where mystery can be slaughtered by the endless singular satiation of whatever whimsy. My dreams have also started happening in cyber-space. Last night I video chatted with my dead father. He told me that he’d both won and lost the last game of hid-n-seek he ever played.  And before I could figure out what he meant I was video chatting with a beautiful woman and she began to dance and gyrate wildly to the Air Supply’s song, “Making Love Outta Nothing at All” she revealed to me her perfect body but didn’t stop there. No, soon she tears off her hair, face, and skin. Its me again. I’m the dancer. My first urge is to yell at girl/me for freaking me out but then I realize I’m only yelling at myself and freaking us both out. So confused I go to bed. My wife is already sleeping. But once again the other person, my wife, is me and then I, me, she crawls on top of we and begin to kiss. Do I stop myself? I’m about to get laid. So weirder we must go. Into the cyber space my friends! No one will know anything but we’ll have all the answers. And perhaps we can peer through the veil of time and have cybersex with our eternal self. Just don’t forget to enjoy this reality while you can. In fact, next time you’re down at the convenience store please take a moment to gaze upon the hotdog roller in all its mystery. Listen to how it rolls while its sings.  And while none of us shall ever come close to comprehending this devil magic what we do know is the only way off the rollers is to be devoured. To be devoured with mustard and relish. we burp mystery and shit the dream a life devoured time for ice cream.
