I am Jane Goodall's Tanzanian monkeys typing about bananas. My fingers are Santa's little helpers. My hope is a sporadic rainfall - yet a torrential downpour in all creative environments. I am Theseus, unspooling golden yarn. Sisyphus, sweating uphill. Bukowski, scribbling away in rooming houses. A river always flowing. I am the nightmare of stagnancy and a God of Imagination.

Dear Samantha, this year didn't start off as well as I expected but I'm going to take it and turn it all around and think about it as a positive experience and not a negative one. No details needed but...the overall lesson is for all of planet Earth to not be a Dick York about small things and if you catch yourself being a Dick Sargent about small things then...STOP BEING A DARRIN STEPHENS. Because that's a big thing.
This applies to all of us mere mortals.

You ask me to play more classical music...
I say to go through my records and pick something that you've never heard before.
WU-TANG?
Well played, Grasshopper.
Well played.

I went for a drive again...
I came home three hours later.
Southern California/OC is a strange, strange place.
It makes no sense.
Alaska makes sense.
It's probably a lot harder to drive around aimlessly in certain parts of Alaska, I bet.
That's about all that I have to say.

Memoirs of a "Latch-Key" Kid 1984-2014
How many years is that? I can't even do the math though it's right on top of my head, or at least in the heading right on top of the what I'm writing's heads head.
I didn't hyphenate, I usually do - but sometimes when I hyphenate, it makes me hyperventilate...so...I...use...da ellipses......instead......
There's a tablet to my left. It's making me not write right now. If I could stop the Home Depot commercial - I could write about it forever. It wasn't necessarily bad. Most of you wouldn't even notice how bad it was. It easier to share in real life. I will write and maybe it will come back again. Fuck. I'm playing stuff on the tablet via Hulu Plus. You, know? The thing that I pay for for more content and less ads? you know. The thing that I'm writing about right now? I shouldn't be doing this right now. I should be smarter, writing about smart things.
..........waiting for the Home Depot commercial.......ellipsesssssss
still not here

Listen To Books. Read Music. See Feelings. Hear HERE.
I'm clearing my throat.
For whatever I'm about to write/say, apparently.
I'm here. Still here. Writing stuff.
Sometimes that's enough.
HERE.
Knuckles dug/deep/burrowing into my eyes.
Wiping away the crust of days gone past, every night. Everything.
Here are my ears opened.
My head starting to turn.
Creaking sometimes. Sometimes snapping quickly left to right.
Like old parts in a factory that work best with age.
Like new parts that need to be broken in.
My eyes have seen enough but...I'm a baby. I'm a newborn fucking baby.
Every blink of mine is a lifetime, wanted/used/wasted.
I think that I'm at the toddler's stage now.
My teenage years are going to be a shit show.
GET READY.
Get ready FOR WHAT COMES AFTER THAT.

So...
You came home stoned from watching sporadic meteors and appreciating their presence.
I've been hand-feeding a stray kitty for hours tonight but really in the last month, in the hope that it stays in my backyard so that it doesn't get eaten by the coyotes that have been hanging out with me in MY FRONT YARD recently.
Apparently, homeless kitties are like Kryptonite to you, you space cadets.
For shame. Before you look up, Josue and Jen - you've got to look down. Meow.
Before you look up?
MEOW IS ON THE GROUND.
Your reaction to a homeless kitty was gross.
I'm elevated and looking down on you.
Meow.
I hope homeless kitty wakes you up when you sleep tonight.
A cosmic, saber-toothed, fucking tiger that bites you deep in your hypocritical heart.
Her name is

The Dreams Were So Vivid, So Haunting, SO REAL...
and then I woke up.
Like, a million times.
I chose not to work today.
I didn't want to.
So, I didn't.
I'm not spoiled.
I work hard and put up with a lot of shit.
I work hard and revel in an overabundance of beauty.
I love it, but...
I chose not to work today.
I didn't want to.
I saw a movie.
I ate crap food.
I went for a drive.
I drove so much that I almost ran out of gas.
I got gas.
I went to the grocery store.
I bought firewood, curry powder, a lottery ticket, TIME Magazine, a lemon, paper towels, orange juice, toilet paper and a packet of blue ink disposable pens.
The movie that I watched was still orbiting around in my head.
I got a text from a friend.
He wasn't doing well/not doing well.
I came home in five minutes.
We talked.
I made a fire.
We talked longer.
and longer...
I chose not to work today.
I'm glad.
My work, my play, does not define my life.
MY LIFE is defined by YOU.
You come to me.
You guys always do.
I'm okay with that.
YOU make MY LIFE BETTER.
By a million times.
and then I fall asleep.

EYE
erased everything that ive written on this
and now im writing this
with no capitalization
or punctuation in this
the 2 things that i wrote before this - i had to save
i had to wrap my head around what i was saying
or TRYING to say
so i saved it
i saved it
it saved itself so
that i can
write more on it
it will be much more
much more than this
because i what i hover over is
not THIS
but the things that i think
the things that you miss
and sometimes what i save
is sososo
much better than this
so i save it
