HOLIDAY CHEER!!!

Searching around in cirles, looking for cigarrettes. The girl is sleeping, but I am wide awake. Almost like old times of natural sleeplessness, yet this one involves outside issues. Sometimes it’s nice to have a cold beer on ice at 6:30 in the morning when it’s cold and snowy outside, and you know that in two hours it’s wake-up time, because despite your best aspirations, and dreams, you are not Hunter S. Thompson, and it has gotten weird enough for you, and you want to go skiing in the morning like a spoiled unemployed person does. But it’s Saturday, so who really cares? I’m just out there with everybody. Isn’t that how it is? All us folks, cruising around in weirdo land. We’re just a bunch of lunatics. Get a bunch of lunatics together in an agreeable bunch and you get a bunch of lunatics spouting off the same limited perspective. Which is great. People relate and there is happiness, joy, unity, and anger at “them,” the dirtbag breed, whether in Land Rovers or in dilapidated Datsuns. There is something different about them. They think they are normal. We know they are not. And so it goes, with the bullshit collecting on main street, and all the little animals squirreling along for their next nugget of consume. How am I not myself? Another consumer? You betchA. There should be a whole worldwide support group for everybody, a new AA. It’s called Assholes Anonymous. Cause we are all just a bunch of assholes. But I mean that in the most wonderful Way. WE ARE ASSHOLES BUT WE ARE ALSO GOD. WE ARE THE INFINITE POTENTIALITY OF THE UNIVERSE. BUT WE DON’T PAY ATTENTION. WE DON’T TAKE THE HELP. WE ALLOW OUR ADDICTIONS TO KEEP US CIRCLING THE REDUNDENT LOOP AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN OF ENLIGHTENMENT. WE JUST KEEP GOING ROUND AND ROUND. AND IT AIN’T ALL BAD. SHOW ME A MAN WHO IS NOT ADDICTED TO SOMETHING. TRY TAKING MEDITATION AWAY FROM A BUDDHIST MONK AND SEE THAT HE’S JUST AS ADDICTED TO IT AS ARE YOU WITH YOUR WHATEVER IT IS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT HIS ADDICTION MOVES HIM UP THE MOUNTAIN. MEDITATION OR MEDICATION… THAT IS THE QUESTION.

ICE COLD BEER

I'm getting off this merry-go-round!

The world's greatest tragedy. I refuse the gift, too.

God doesn't hate us. Always waiting.
