My Life In The Bush Of Dorks : Chewbacca.........Friday, November 9, 2007 at 12:58pm

In the end there was Chewbacca.

I think that of all the Star Wars characters my gut instinct tell be to go with Chewbacca.

There is not a lot to go on. He is hairy. It does not speak English. And that is good.

There are times when he gets some mischievous look on his face, like when the Storm Trooper is about to get it.

My Life In The Bush Of Dorks : There was no hill.... Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 3:48pm

Well we meet at the Stop Light. Every thing done up in Reds, Greens and Yellows. It was dark out. We set off from there, hugging the side of the road. Dawson looked it me but I did not look back. Just keep walking. Every cell in his being was over it.
"Why do we have to go."
There was a stretch off the right that would be hell to get out. I wanted to push Dawson in it and keep on walking.
"We do what we have to, we go so we have to go."
"But why, why do we have to?"
I could see a light off in the distance. It gave me a place to focus.
"Why do we have to? Because."
Dawson looked like he was going to puke. He huddle himself up in his jacket. He waited to say:
"Why."
But he knew the answer.
"We just have to make it over the hill, then everything will be good."
There was no hill, nothing but a night road leading off into nothing.
"Were is the hill?"
"Just wait for it, wait for it…..

My Life In The Bush Of Dorks : Hound Dog.......Friday, November 16, 2007 at 12:16pm

It was Monophonic, the record player, long before stereos came into being. I was four years old. It was 1964. In 1956 Elvis Presley made a hit out of Hound Dog. It went like this:

At four I can't recall much but I do recall my Brother Steve in his Senior Year. I remember him coming to me.
"Danny, do you want to lessen to Elvis playing Hound Dog."
I told him I did.
Hound Dog would be something odd. I don’t now who Elvis was. But my brother was going to show me. He had a 45rpm, and he wiggled it from it sleeve. He placed it on the record player.
And hit the stylus, it went pop and then:

You aint nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
You aint nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
Well, you aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.

We played it twice. We were going to try it a third time but Mom put an end to it. Hound Dog was Elvis playing Rock and Roll. It hit me to my bones. I was never the same after that. I never saw that 45rpm again. Steve new it, the Hound Dog new it, I new it, Elvis new it. I would be hooked.

My Life In The Bush Of Dorks : Too Joan.... Monday, November 19, 2007 at 10:26am

Alas to Joan
I am not alone
To Joan to Joan
"Why do you punish me?"
Forever I keep my Jacket
Forever I eat my Peas.
Forever I am number one.
"What did I ever do to deserve this?"
I made that abundantly obvious.
That wasn't my fault.
I paid for it.
I paid.
Alas to Joan.
I am not alone
To Joan to Joan.

It is easier for me, one I have the stroke, two I did only had her for 18 or 19 years, and after that it was 2 or 3 times a year after that, and I had no trouble telling her to fuck off. Essentially I have some doubts but they are MY doubts and I will deal with them. It is odd for me. I have nothing to say about them, and that make me nuts, so I go forth with it and I muster all I can. There is nothing.
I know there were times that made me sick to death of them.
And there were times, I could not feel anything.
It was awful and as it played out, it was bad news…..
I am grateful they got us each $82K, that is enough for me to make it trough this, and I am sorry I could not do more with it.
It was odd for me being raised my by parents, my grand parents as it were, I always though of then as grand parents and maybe keep them away from me, for a bit.

Bill and Joan : Rest In Peace.

My Life In The Bush Of Dorks : Wed thru Sat.....Monday, November 26, 2007 at 11:22am

Wednesday
We, Savannah and I, got up around 6am and after driving to the gas stations and the Starbucks we the road to San Francisco. It was awesome. We had a Hotel, Cathedral Hill, off Geary and Van Ness, it was nice. We had lunch at Jac's in the Hotel, Chicken Strips and Club House which with split down the middle. And then we hoofed it over to take a Cable Car, off California. Along the way I though of Brian Tingle who live there, and got a call to him via the cell phone to Rose who then fire him off a email and he called us back. We meet him at the 39 pier. Then we headed up the China Town. Wandered around there a bit and at about 5:30pm we got some dinner. The Pot Stickers was a nice looking restaurant. We got Orange Chicken, Broc, Veggie with Chow Mien, Veggie Egg rolls and Pot Stickers ( pork ). We headed out of there and hit the China Town again.
We made it over to someplace that would take it back to the Hotel. Said good bye to Brian and hit the bus. We were back around 7:30pm. We called Kim. She said I had quite a day. I had to go to sleep then.

Thursday
It was Thanksgiving. We got a call on Wednesday that Kim had a sister, Andrea who had a boyfriend, Dan, who lived only six blocks from our Hotel. We gave her a call and sent up meeting them around 6PM at Jac's. We got some room service. We had a Bagel, Cream Cheese, a Milk, Coffee for one and some French Toast and some Apple Smoke Bacon. Then we went down to the garage and took out the car out. We headed down to the Golden Gate Bridge. We roamed around there. Got some good pictures. And then we headed off too the Metro, a five story monolith where we got hot dogs and skittles and popcorn and a drink and watch August Rush, it was a tear jerker. Then we made it back to the Hotel to wait for Andrea and Dan. We meet them around 6:30PM. We had Turkey Dinners. After that we made it down to her apartment, got some
Chocolate ice cream on the way there. And made it there for an hour before Savannah said he wanted to go back to the hotel. So we caught a bus and were back and to bed.

Friday
We sleep in on Friday, or later. We ordered OJ, Coffee, a waffle that came with strawberries, and Eggs Benedict. Then we hit the bus down to Union Square. We got Savannah an Xmas present at the Old Navy, and a ear rings at the Macys. The ear rings were from the Thursday where she went into the pool with them bought but only came out with won. It took us three hours to make it from the Macy's (one hour) the Zoo. Then two hours to make it back from there. The Zoo was nice enough. We had Chicken Strips and a Chicken Sandwiches there. The Bus ride back from there was a mess. Then we made a trip to China Town again. We walked it. Got the Chinese Sword and some other stuff and then took the bus home. We got back to the Hotel and then drove to the Metro. We get into to This Christmas. Got out of that at 8:30pm and made it to the Hotel and then went to Mel's Dinner .
She got a Club Sandwich and I had a Meatloaf with Chicken Soup. We made it back home and I stayed awake till nearly 11:30pm.

Saturday
We had room service again, Milk, Coffee, a waffle ( that did not come with strawberries) and Eggs and a sausage. Got every thing loaded in the car and went off via the 101 to the 1 and were back home at 5:30pm.

Crying oh my cryring......Friday, December 28, 2007 at 1:37pm

It was a week ago when I cried my eyes out. It was after a bunch of bull that I had to let go. I felt better about it on Saturday. It was as if something had been lifted out of me leaving me none the worse for wear. It was as if I should buy a truce for the new year. That it would be good for me.

X

The Venture Theatre.

It was Dec 31st.

We had four tickets but we only used two of them.

X took the stage around 11pm and played till 12:30am.

It was interesting for me to get out.

Here is Rose (Kim) and a certain someone for you.

We took this as the band started playing.

It was good going home.
