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’.

            My first impulse upon meeting God was to lick all her fucked up little teeth. She had thousands of them, all different flavors. Some sang old country & western songs, others whispered of the crushed fragile mysteries. We didn’t run out of gin until the 3rd millennium. And some may think it wrong to destroy the earth’s core for just a few bottles more, but I tell ya, it was more than worth it. Infused with millions of years of pent up boredom and suffering, such a sublime sweetness.

            Whether you’re alive or dead some things just make sense in the head Was it something that hot wild bitch said? or can we blame it all once again on Right Said Fred

            Whether you’re alive or dead

            some things just make sense in the head

            Was it something that hot wild bitch said?

            or can we blame it all once again

            on Right Said Fred

            I hope my singular mind unwinds and disintegrates in time so I don’t miss my favorite TV shows I hate watching TV when I’m the all devouring singular eye of consciousness because the only parts of sit-coms that make any sense are the laugh tracks those robots of a past happiness extolling us to relax into an eternal surprising roar of delicious madness. The stars in the sky whisper “Laugh bitches! You’ve all been dead for billions of years, laugh forever after.” And I don’t get it, how are we gonna sell Subaru’s with this kinda attitude.

            I wrote this while at a really shitty Blues Festival on the River Styx


            I saw a cloud shaped liked Godzilla
            devour the moon
            I must’ve been hallucinating
            because it was early afternoon
            not even 2:30

            The moon went in and the moon came out
            spinning about some delicious madness
            it had always known

            Meanwhile the Devil rode around the outskirts of town
            with one hundred pounds of frozen meat in his trunk
            The devil wears welding gloves
            because the steering wheel of his El Dorado is red hot.

            and I don’t know whether he has a plan or not
            but they say he’ll circle and circle until
            all the flesh he’s got, putrefies
            and sings to him of an ancient spring

            and lullabies

            Ignorance is bliss So I pissed my pants in the rain at the parade For years I thought a Saint Patrick’s Day parade was when you got so drunk you pissed your pants while walking home. And maybe that’s how it all started. That’s how the game charades started. A happy accident. A man came home early from work and found his wife kissing a priest. The priest said they were only playing a game and invented the game charades on the spot. The audience was God. I played a game of charades once. I was trapped at home with my car in the shop when my wife was having a girls night. So I played along and cooked them all dinner and they all had a little to much wine and somehow we ending up playing games. I was killing at charades when I was stumped by the answer Sigmund Freud. How do you pretend to be Sigmund Freud? Snort cocaine and take notes? Anyhow, I was determined to nail the next one. My wife slipped me the next card. It said Blow Job. I looked up at all the drunk bright giggling in front me and I briefly wondered if I could pull it off. I glanced again at the card and realized it actually said Blow Up. And sometimes people argue What came first, the chicken or the egg? when we all know good and well that God doesn’t play charades Especially when everything everywhere is constantly getting laid.

            The lightning strike was a bright hot bitch whose explosive short life told the truth about the universe We staggered back into the house only to realize we could no longer control our media devices sure we could change the channels and tweet hilarious things about famine but nothing ever changed Mona Lisa shook her head like a wolf but in her portrait she was still Mona Lisa Time stood naked and we saw all of it from the big bang to the collapse of the sun all in one instant that we found to be eternal and well hung The 53rd President of the World was a sad clown hired at a gypsies funeral God dies alone in the end but we did not thank God Actually if the camera were to zoom out you would see that God died on stage in a packed house, to a standing ovation. Sure, the critics thought it was tripe. Roger Ebert gave it two stars and shot himself in the ass. But the devil went home with everyone and nonetheless remained a sparkling virgin.

            The lightning strike was a bright hot bitch

            whose explosive short life told

            the truth about the universe

            We staggered back into the house

            only to realize we could no longer control

            our media devices

            sure we could change the channels

            and tweet hilarious things about famine

            but nothing ever changed

            Mona Lisa shook her head like a wolf

            but in her portrait

            she was still

            Mona Lisa

            Time stood naked and we saw all of it

            from the big bang

            to the collapse of the sun

            all in one instant

            that we found to be

            eternal

            and well hung

            The 53rd President of the World

            was a sad clown

            hired at a gypsies funeral

            God dies alone in the end

            but we did not

            thank God

            Actually if the camera were to zoom out you would see that God died on stage in a packed house, to a standing ovation. Sure, the critics thought it was tripe. Roger Ebert gave it two stars and shot himself in the ass.

            But the devil went home with everyone

            and nonetheless remained

            a sparkling virgin.

            I was 5 years old when Elvis died. I didn’t know who he was. They called him THE KING! He looked like some exotic fat sweating Hindu love God to me. Today is the 35th anniversary of his death. May his soul sing for all eternity baby!

            Last night I was visited by 3 Elvis’s

            The young, crazy vibrant Elvis

            The fat, drugged old Elvis

            and the massive dead Elvis

            They told me to change my ways baby

            that I was losing hydrogen and helium at my core

            while expanding in mass.

            Then they asked if I was going to eat that. They were pointing at my kitchen wall. I said no and stepped aside.

            With a high leg kick and pelvic thrust young Elvis tore the wall from its studs, his manhood making love to it in several different ways and yet somehow all at once.

            Fat Elvis snorted up the dust and sang a jaunty ramblin’ tune all while cooking the larger remnants of the wall into a red hot cosmic frittata.

            Dead Elvis held the entire scene in his infinite mouth. His massive mutton chops closing in upon it from time to time, obliterating all light and sound. Then the giant Tibetan horns sounded and the mutton chops lifted and the whole cycle began again.  This repeated itself throughout the commercial break during the age of Kali Yuga and then we went for for some ice cream.

            This story and drawing are from the book only $8.95 on Amazon, baby!

            Sometimes I feel like I’m sliding down the side of a mountain. a ride that traces the places and faces of flesh died and born again anew Grew Grow Flowing the undertow of life and tears electric knowing A prophet reduced into metal and light questing deep in to the night a forest that we always knew Father Mother inseperable from eachother a love that exists only when split in two Someones epic poem? or just another commercial for Mountain Dew

            Sometimes I feel like I’m sliding down the side of a mountain.

            a ride that traces the places and faces of flesh died

            and born again anew

            Grew Grow Flowing

            the undertow of life and tears electric knowing

            A prophet

            reduced into metal and light

            questing deep in to the night

            a forest that we always knew

            Father Mother inseperable from eachother

            a love that exists only when split in two

            Someones epic poem?

            or just another commercial for Mountain Dew

             If you’re looking for happiness in your head you might as well go back to bed and wait for the madness to come find you You want the ocean and infinite love and you come prattling round with your teacup and glove Lucky for you, you don’t run a goddamn thing.

            If you’re looking for happiness in your head

            you might as well go back to bed

            and wait for the madness to come find you

            You want the ocean and infinite love

            and you come prattling round with your teacup and glove

            Lucky for you, you don’t run a goddamn thing.
