Heroes
My Dad for overcoming obstacles and staying forever young. My Mom for her sense of humor and loving spirit despite the tough times my family has been through. My dog who taught me how to live with my eyes closed. Bob Dylan for putting into words everything i feel and being my scriptures when all the other ones make no sense. All who put their ass on the line and speak truth to power. All who walk thru life with humility..and when they see someone struggle they offer help with the calm assurance that "There but for the grace of god go I."
Live or dead?
Allen Ginsberg, Carl Sandburg, Monica Belluci

I'll meet anyone who does not wish to do me harm. I'm open to seeing the world thru many eyes so I don't go out of my way to avoid anyone. But I suppose there are good people and bad people to meet.
Good People=(According to Jack Kerouac)
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved. The ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Bad People=(According to Uncle Bill Burroughs)
People who are infected with the Right virus. Ya know the right virus? The virus that says that THEY have to be "right" all the time and they are damn proud of it.
I would also like to meet a talking dog, a dinosaur, and the head custodian of the universe's supernova and star maintenance department.
i saw u at pcc like a while back... your show was awesome man... thnx...for your thought me somethings about my actions and how they can affect others and stuff...
Heyy...I saw my mom last night and told her you said "hello" she was so excited and asked all about you and wanted to know if you were still in the area!! Hope you are having a good weekend. TTYL
So, I was in a crappy mood the other day... it just wasn't a very wonderful day at all... and all of a sudden your poem popped in my head, yes, the one from DIRT about the girl that got left at the mall by her friends haha! I could hear your voice in my head reciting it and I just started to giggle out loud... which normally wouldn't be that bad but I was in a meeting at the time. haha! I just want to thank you for being you and for giving me something to giggle about when I'm having a crap day :)
Missin you on the patio, though these days I'm missin the patio myself. Hope things are going well out there, and you are getting more time with the lovely daughter.
I would love to re-enact the Zapruder film with you in Philly, including the alleged puff of smoke behind the grassy knoll, but alas, I have to do that thing I do early the next morning - the Cantor's on va-ca-tion, and she's got God On Her Side...
your profile song, as you know, can bring a tear or two to my eyes . . . Dice K gets the job done, but you got to hold your breath every time he pitches. Damn!!!!
Okay, so I have absolutely NO idea what that comment was about.... Uhmmm maybe to what????? I'm so confused... it could be the complete lack of sleep since the surgery, etc, etc, etc...
