lets start with the silliness for the day, shall we� check out this photo of proper forklift safety. (the nice man from OSHA just got a blinding headache & he does not know why� yet.) *******stray thoughts on a friday * gary & the silent one are some of the coolest people i know. * if i ever win the lottery, the first thing i�m doing is buying a house & a dog for becky * the second thing i�m doing is opening a coffeehouse * most people greatly underestimate the power of touch * most people need to touch & be touched more * i will be in chicago in 8 weeks for the poetry slam nationals & i can�t wait * if it were not for the poetry slam, i would never go to chicago. * the same is true for NYC * i have managed to get almost no work done today * twice i have paid to fix a girlfriend�s car so she could leave me. * i knew both times * if i had it to do over again i would do the same thing * my greatest fear is dying alone * i have never gotten rid of my stage fright * i love to paint, but would not want to do it for a living * same is true for poetry & writing * the smell of fresh-cut grass is my third favorite smell * the smell of spring in the air after a long winter is my second favorite * i�m not saying what the first one is * most of the time i feel 10 years younger than i am * most of the time i act 15 years younger than i am * 98% of the people i know have no idea who i really am * i am taller in my dreams * i am older in my dreams i have been having the same dream off & on for almost 30 years now. * i don�t know why * most of my friends now have never seen me in a fight * most of my friends now have never seen me truly angry * i have a very bad temper that i try very hard to control * i wish i was book smart * i wish i could spell better * i have a short list of people i would kill given the chance * given the chance i don�t think i would kill them * i once dated a woman who had a play room complete with children�s toys & art supplies * i still think it is cool that she did that * the only thing i have ever wanted out of life is happiness * there are times in my life i have almost gone out of my way not to be happy * i had a lot of sex between the ages of 19 & 27 * poetry & art got me hit on more than music ever did * there is something very beautiful about this * i think my greatest writing is still to come * i think my greatest artwork has passed. *******off tonight but with no car. have to go help a friend put a lock on her door (& i get paid in dinner). think i may just get dropped off at the hut & leave my night in the hands of fate. been a long time since i did that. hope you all have a good weekend. more on monday be well.
