after some conversation and a piece of advice (for good or ill), i decided to make this entry…

what’s all this about…the blogging, the website, all the reading, watching and writing…to what end is all this time and energy being dedicated…i’ve known the answer to this question for years, i’ve dared not speak it for shame, and superstition…

one day, i’d love to walk into a bookstore and see a book on the shelves with my name on it and be proud that it is my work.

there, i said it.

write it down, do the work…

this is all i have to say about what happened in california today…this is what happens when you put a pistol in the hands of a monkey…

here’s a secret i’ve known for years…I’m ready to share it with the world…

You know that guy, the one you see walking down the sidewalk with the look in his eye like he’s got the world on a string..you ever wonder how he can move through the world with such confidence?

there are three things that make a man walk like that…a good shine on his shoes, money in his pocket, and an amazing blowjob…

two out three…i can live with that…

more thoughts of old men i meet…during, well after really, this spring’s big snowstorm i was out and about and i spoke with this old man standing on the corner of a snowdrifted intersection downtown…he was full of stories about his youth, the war (his war), women, family…he spoke non-stop, he was happy to have someone listen…by telling all this stuff now, what will i have to talk about when i’m 70?
