life in trump times

-
Saturdays are busy times here in United States of stooped... Do I attend my local KKK meeting slash picnic slash poetry reading...or do I head to my nearest "defend the confederate statue" protest.  I know I am free to go to my nearest gay neighborhood to throw rocks at the queers, but that is sooo last week. Maybe I'll just head down to Lowes and get some more bricks for my own wall to keep my yard from touching my neighbors.

 Yup six months into the reign of Trump and I am realizing I have so much more to do than watch college football or sit on my beach.  I used to read but now I just feel useless and well...liberal if I try to enlarge my world with  fake news or facts.  I can now sit and dream of the oil derricks that will soon  dot the horizon, bringing cheap gas to my "really great" American car.  I delighted in the nostalgic nature of my friend in Guam reliving " duck and cover" drills while waiting for the other really great( I don't know how to say this in Korean) volley of missiles shot like quoits toward the tiny island group  I feel better and well more American that My really great president feels comfortable making war decisions from the ninth tee at his favorite golf resort.  I don't mind at all and well, I am filled with pride that we get to pay for the privilege of improving his iron play.

 That whole Russian thing is so fake news and so what if the Russians helped our glorious president sorta beat the Hillary last fall.  I'm so glad  that the ruskies are our friends now and have volunteered to help us with our elections.  Countries helping countries, that's  really great.

So happy labor day weekend everyone, make sure to hang your Chinese made American flag out and wish all you straight white neighbors a safe and really great holiday.  But remember to keep a vigilant eye out from brown skinned people out to cause havoc and ruin our barbeques.  Revel in the three great years we have left with our really great supreme leader!!!

irritation to this old man's sandy taint

As I age, i find that I am far less accepting of life's little faux pas.  I am surly.  I growl. I snap at unsuspecting irritants.  I look in the mirror and see  what my life has pulled down on me.  Wrinkles, saddle bags, hair in very strange palaces.  I expect things...simple things to proceed as planned.  If my cellular bill, for example, is due on the 24th, I expect it to be taken out on that date. Not the 21st, because it falls on a weekend.  And when I call the huge multi-national  corporation, which I hate, to question why this simple act, cannot happen...when i question the scripted autonoton on the other end of the line...when i point out that the weekend constitutes no variation to a computer tasked with taking that money on the date in question...I am told, snubbingly, that that's how it works...I point out that the computer has no weekend plans, no beach party to attend, no dinner plans with friends.  That in fact the only fucking thing that this program, written for

Today is your memorial service.  Today your friends gather at historic Gracie's to tell tales, laugh and drink to your memory.  I worked for Gracie, thanks to you, sneaky Pete and Steve.  Its fitting, a legendary spot, to pay tribute to the man that inspired me and unknown others to go chase our dreams.  I loved when we cooked together and I found my passion, standing next to you.  You shared your love and unfathomably incredible knowledge of music with me.  I found Jason Ricci, Eric Lindell, Los Lobos and David Migden in our "MO, wait till you hear this moments".  I endured your love of all things Zappa and I survived Zappa torture.  To those unfamiliar with this, it involved the can, copious amounts of inhaleables and song after song of your archives. Songs stopped only by you, translating the nuances that a rookie like me, most certainly missed.  The only rescue was SuSu and her, "honey enough! his eyes are glazed over and he has to drive up the hill". We s
