...There will be no more clean windows.
Due to the power vacuum left behind after
the fall of the leader it becomes a freak show
with all showing their true political stances,
prejudices and intolerance's.
Gossip abounds. Rumors lead to hostilities,
which led to internal strife...lots of back stabbing
and back talking. A freak show, as all know
that have read even a few entries in this long
rant on the life of this poor, but famous artist in exile...
freak shows are and have been the common thread
thru out the many years I have been on this journey

...When life deals one a hand of freaks,
one would be well advised to make a freak show...
I have. Seems to be going well enough, so it is.
Dysfunctional ?

So, forget the windows.

You know that passion to be there, and deal ? "

On the $th of July...

2011-07-02T02:49:00.010+02:00

Two wars, untold numbers of "actions" both declared and Un....
( I'm giving a thumbs up for the Libyan action...
by the way......)
Countries broke both financially and morally.
Rednecks and patriots screamed and waved flags
in the streets of Amerika after the news that a man
had been summarily executed in Pakistan...Who dances
with their children on their shoulders to celebrate
the death and not the winning of a trial
held in a court of law with a jury, a flag, and a foto
of Barack Obama hangin' somewhere in the room ?

No work. States are passing horrific immigration laws
making it basically illegal to be brown...to make
work for the local folks that wouldn't mow a lawn,
let alone harvest the food for a country ?
Arizona, Georgia, S. Carolina, Utah, Oklahoma
An don't forget Alabama, still hatin' somebody, so they are...
...shame on you.
No human being is illegal.

And now we approach the $th of July in Amerika.
They will celebrate the deaths.
They will celebrate the wars.
They will wave flags and drink, drink and drink beer.
Speeches ment to inspire will be made, and all will
stare into the night sky in awe of the explosions...
(...and damned glad their not missiles, fired from a drone
being controlled by a guy 14,000 miles away, at their
homes...).
Independence day in Amerika,
and in my most humble opinion...
Amerika should be apologizing
for the shape of the world, and not
celebrating " freedom ", war and death.

"....unless every ones free,
then there ain't' a free man walking,
so there's not. "
Some idealist said that and I agree,
ma o meno....

Oh, and the Apple store will be open.
Nothing patriotic about that.
Steve Jobs.
Now there's a brother that would agree with this
poor, but famous artist in exile, so he would.
Yikes !.

Be well Idiot Amerika.

Hardly summer in Emerald city.
Yard sales and clouds an rain....
the rest of the country bakes.
We are blessed,
yet it's a darkish blessed.

...Caught myself thinking of my friend Jamal Mohammad
whom now resides in Benghazi and his record store dream.
His stories of Venice beach in the 80's in which he and his family travel,
and rent an apartment at the beach... Jamal Mohammad
wanders off to see the " real Venice " an ends up at Tower records
where his mind was blown. That mind blowing would fuel many trips and traps
that barrel on and on til' the end, Madrid 2007, where we meet in a
concentration camp in southern Spain...He was being deported,
and the State was teaching me a valuable lesson...
They taught me tact. No confrontations. No accusations.
Allegations ? That's a whole other story..
I don't know what Jamal Mohammad learned ?
Indigence maybe ?
I will ask him when I see him.

...When the dust settles and the brothers clean things up
I am invited to have a show in his record shop...
I look very much forward to that day
Jamal Mohammad, so I do.

2011-04-05T00:44:00.006+02:00

Up the path to the front door, Juanita... ( not her real name )
passes the cage....That's when the screaming began.
Doors slammin' and still no sign of Mari Sol ( not her real name).
She had apparently " finished " her "gardening" and retired ?
Walking up on the crime scene, noticed was this...
A combination lock which was rarely locked...was.
The poor, once evil bird was facing northeast and
south east, respectively, (thus the title), and there
was no sign that the bars of the cage had been wide enough
at any point to have pulled the poor evil bird thru... Was
Mari Sol responsible for leaving the cage open then wandering upstairs ?
Did she forget she'd left the cage open, allowing say, one of the feral
cats, or a regular raccoon access ? Did she return to find the gruesome
crime scene and simply lock the combination lock and go into
" I'm sick " mode...?
Probably.

So, with pandemonium reining over the house, and Mari Sol remaining
MIA, the propaganda machine goes into high gear.
A story is spun ...(and this would
happen a couple months later, after every possible conspiracy
theory was lofted about...this is the one they agreed on...)

..." A giant 6' tall raccoon comes outta the bushes after Mari Sol
goes upstairs and with his nimble little fingers and superior
knowledge of lock picking, opened the cage door, grabbed Charlie,
ate um' ( leaving the bird on the north side of the cage ) then carefully
closes the cage door, replaces the lock, locks it, and slips unseen
back into the brush.. "
The perfect crime...

Juanita bought that. Huh.
I had mentioned the other side of that story...
the one that was more obvious...
And became the pariah...so I did.
All good. Set the stage for the next 18 months
and then the final insult, Juanita (not her real name)
burned me for my deposit....Huh.

Mari Sol, (not her real name) never copped to it.
Juanita, ( not her real name ) believes that there's a 6' tall raccoon somewhere
back there in the yard, waiting....
Pepe, (not his real name) still suffers CEBS
(Constant estrogen bombardment Syndrome) from both sides...
Poor Pepe. We're all are looking for the cure, so we are.

...And I have gained a wealth of material y'all will be reading
for years...oh and got burnt for my cool leather vest
and 500$ US samolians....
The freak show continues friends....
Watch yerself.
You may end up material...

on..." The two parts to Charlie... " part one

2011-03-26T15:50:00.008+01:00

Juanita, (not her real name) ran an asylum for pseudo hippies
at the " Southern Ranch ", a big house in South Seattle...
And that's Amerika folks..." Mari Sol " (not her real name)
an Israeli national, whom is the girl friend of " Pepe "
not his real name)...and " Pepe " (again, not his real name )
used to go out with Juanita, and now is Juanita's slave
in the house cleaning business...of course. That's the player's...
Except one...

Juanita had just returned from another road trip to that
beautiful mid country state of Oklahoma to see the convict boy
friend in the big house. She'd been gone a week.

Mari Sol, she liked to garden. Well actually, she liked to rip native plants
that looked a lot like weeds outta the ground...Juanita remains livid.
Mari Sol. She smoked pot. Lot's and lot's of pot...

Charlie the parrot was an evil bastard. Bit me. Bit " Anston " (not his real name)

The bird bit " Jenkins "...(not his real name). The bird liked to bite.

Well, Charlie also like to sit in his cage out in the garden, yelling at the cats,
and make car alarm sounds, all the while awaiting the moment when some
unsuspecting hippy would stick a finger into the cage...maniacal, so he was.

So, on that beautiful July day in the garden, Mari Sol is
ripping native plants out by their roots, smoking and screeching at the bird.

She screeched like an insane banshee, so Mari Sol did.

...and this is where it goes to pure crime scene investigation.

A cage with a combination lock....open?
One stoned fire starting hippy, on a drug fueled road to disaster ?
Or a..." I think I'll just go upstairs and refresh this bowl..." moment ?

There's more to this story...

A SIX FOOT TALL RACCOON ???????!!!!!
COULD HE BE WAITING FOR HIS NEXT VICTIM
AT THIS VERY INSTANT ????!!!!

Stay tuned friend's for the next installment of...

...Every one's attention was directed to the ringing phone.
" You know there are new fones that actually ring a pleasant ring..."
said Lil' Moco. The fone keep's ringing. Jesus watched the caller ID.

" Well if your not gonna answer that damned thing....."

said an irritated Lil'Moco. " NO !!!!! " yelled a nervous Jesus.

The crew stood watching the fone ring. Watching Jesus.

" That's Death's number, No ? " said a cautious Miles.
Then the ringing stopped. They sat in silence. All looking at Jesus,
whom was reaching for the fone...

Death looked at the fone in his hand..." Wheeeew, dodged a bullet
there didn't ya Death ol' boy..." Death said to himself, cowardly.
The fone rang. It's was Jesus...

" Is he calling Death ? ", asked Dan coming back from the kitchen
with a sandwich and a beer... they all turned to look at Dan. " What !?
I was hungry...." said a chowing Dan. Dan notices the fone cord leading

under the bedroom door of Jesus...

" Hello, Death ?..." said a nervous Jesus into the mickey Mouse phone.
"... Death, I just gotta say..." stammered Jesus...

' Well, that was an amazing time, consuming task...

Lil' Moco...

" Oh that... it' a firing pin for the new Glock.

Here, hand me that spring will you ?...Thanks, and it fits riiii-ght

in here. Do you see what that does ?...." asked Jesus...

They were a family. A family sitting around the

dining room table, filled with guns.

" ... and this is a .357 magnum... " the most powerful

hand gun in the world, and it'll blow yer head clean off..."

recited Jesus. Dirty Harry was in Jesus' " Top 10 ".

Lil' Moco laughed and rolled about on his back.

Miles and Dan had came in... " Jesus !??? Damn ! ..."

Dan said, eyeing the formidable arsenal before him...

" I sorta had you figured as the " peaceable " type ",

he said, looking down the sites of a Mauser.

" Peaceable ?, is that even a word ...? ", asked Jesus.

" ...Peaceable : Adjective, " Inclined to avoid argument

or violent conflict..." , read Miles from his iPhone...

" Huh, I like to consider myself " quietly behaved...", Jesus said,

pulling the ramrod thru the Winchester's double 12 gauge

barrels. " The road to peace is about the amount of support

one has behind them. I prefer my support armed. I didn't

just start doing this, you know. Nope, back in the day

I thought a smile, a kind word, and a miracle or two

would suffice... Nope. That had a very negitive effect on the flow.
It's all about the flow...that's when I discovered that twelve guy's,
not eleven, not ten, but twelve armed to the teeth brothers behind me...
Well !!!!, that did make my job a lot easier, so it did....

Wo ! Way easier...!!! I tell ya. "

The room was silent.
Mouths agape in awe...
" Dude...", said Dan.

Lil' Moco smiled.
Miles, licked a paw.

Jesus blushed, turning up 12 th toward Bob's " Point Blank " gun shop.
He had to pick up some firing pin's for the new Glock he'd had on back order...
Thing's were getting complicated in the life of Jesus the provider.
He still hadn't been to the pharmacy to pick up his new perscriptions...

dropped off the dry cleaning...nor the new insoles for the sandles...
...And the little voice said... " This is a bad idea brother Jesus...Turn the

...When Dixie Brown comes to town everybody dances

2010-10-02T16:58:00.014+02:00

It had been about a month out beyond the
fences. In weird and beautifully crowded

sunny windy rainy and oh so beery places...

...Meanwhile back at the Southern ranch

the scene is harsh at best.
Dixie Brown and rats
Rats
Angry housemates...
and mice.

Readin' that e-mail schmenge from my perch

above the bluest of clear views of the caves,

rocky coastlines and boredom that couldn't

have mattered less...those e-mails
really could have mattered less.

" Dixie Brown blew into town an everybody danced...".

A guy I know said a while ago. I'm sayin' it now.

The brother was old' and up to the same

old tricks. Usin' the same old lines. The same ol'

traps gettin' tripped in the end.

Always the same trap. Mice learn faster,

so they do. Time to remember the past traps
and adjust for health and changing centers of gravity.
Allow a few minutes in the getaway plan for stairs,
high curbs and frequent bathroom stops...
We aint' as young as we used to be, no ?.

I walked into the bedroom after a month away

from the scene and surveyed the contents... Dixie Brown did it again.

He left, again, with nothing but my favorite black leather jacket.

My favorite hat, and his cell fone ....Got my landlord Jues

for 835$, so he did, and like Portland and Oakland before that...

Then San Diego and Arizona before that.... Dixie Brown came to town

and everybody danced.

My memory of Dixie Brown was better without this last

dramatic trippin' of every trap there was awaitin' to trip.

I Hope to never see the brother again, so I don't.

Sorry to those affected,

so I am.

Jamie was right,
so he was.

and after being thrown about a little ( Lil' Moco ), the two were found by
Jesus smoking a joint huddled up under the stairs...
and Jesus said..." So, who's yer little er uh friend ?..."
and Spike said..." hey you want me to eat this guy ?".

Valley of the Shadow of Death "
Part 48 " Death goes home, Little Roy Earl

and Meirdina learns the near wrath of Death "

Death let off a grateful Roy at the on ramp to I -5,

waved good-bye and drove off into the city.

Merdina now occupied the vacant seat to the right of Death,

her bulging eyes fixed on Death...whom cursed the GPS,

adjusted the mirror, fiddled with something under his seat

all while avoiding the stare of Meridina, when she said...

" I hate you...", and Death said..." huh, most people do..."

All around LA, Death drove. Half looking, half not.

Death said " ...We're going to my house ! Hang on !!! "

making a hard right from the left lane slammin' Meirdina

into Death and into the back of the VW where she screamed

" Venganza !!!!!! ", lurching towards the throat of Death.

Death laughed as he swung left into the ally, sending Mierdina

into a mid air change of direction that took her by suprise...

Death hit the opener button exposing a garage built by Beaver Clever's

father ? or Ozzi Nelson...? but no, this was the garage of Death.

Peg board filled with white outlines filled with Craftsmen

Mikita, DeWalt tools and an old steel vise...Death closed the door behind them

and turned smiling towards Meirdina..." NOW you rude little

dog... I can have Klaus, my minion, run a pole thru you from

butt to mouth FOR ETERNITY !!!!!! I can feed you to the chimps

everyday over and over and over FOR ETERNITY !!!!!!

NOW... be a good dog, and mind your manners. Oh, and mind your

tounge around my cat Little Roy Earl, he's very sensitive.

OK, so who wants a really really dry Martini hummmmmm ? " he asked

delitefuly to a shocked Meirdina, whom said..." ok, I like those lil'

onions..." Death turned and glared at Meirdina who smiled nervously...

Part 45

" ...Ok, now turn on the fan...", said Miles to an excited Lil' Moco
The two infra-stoners had figured out the vaporizer. This was the first test.
Lil' Moco barked and growled at the ever expanding turkey basting bag
as it filled with the essence of the ' NFO ' brand they'd scored from their
guy Julio...Miles had pushed together two ashtrays to fit the valve,
he nosed it in just enough to take a giant hit..." wooooooooooooo ",
woooooed Miles, rolling onto his side...Lil' Moco smiled, nosing a hit,
and smiled again as he felt his eyes turning red...

Meirdina growled...
"...Death brother please lets get on with this trip....You know your face
will stick that way forever if you keep doing that... Come on Man,
let's go to the restaurant, I'll buy you a slab of pork ribs in savory
BBQ sauce... Man, I am SO fucking tried of being in a casino..."
and then Meirdina bit Death on the ankle...
" WHY YOU LITTLE VARMENT !!!! " yelled an angry Death...

The guys in the suits, the one's with no necks had little problem
throwing Death from the Plaza Hotel. Out onto the front drive
with barely a thud. Death was indignant, but content.
" AWWW I'VE BEEN THROWN OUTTA WAY BETTER PLACES
THAN THIS BUDDY !!!!!", screamed Death at the no necks.
He had a plan. He had to keep his cool, so, he only sent David,
the blonde no neck to the fiery depths of hell. He would make a
good companion for Klaus, the German. Death liked Klaus, he
had a streak of ingenious cruelty about him, one that made Death
consider retiring, leavin' Klaus to the leg work and himself to the office
where he could relax and write his memoirs...petting a cat or something
like Lex Luther or Mrs. Silverman...

Meirdina waddled up to Death and licked his hand,
Death looked at the ugly 10,000 year old toothless poodle
with different eyes..." Yeah all the fuck right, Let's get outta this
podunk town before I really get mad... ". Said Death, raising
his voice at the "...Before I really get mad part.

Charles, a no neck called around for his partner David,
" David ! " he shouted...Going in to the casino...
" David.....! " Charles yelled.

....As the cell fone flew thru the window of the VW, instantly
Death had regrets. The fone had rang non stop
since he turned out of the drive way of Dawn and Warren's...
Death was headed west. He had left the freak's, and the
freak show behind. This fone only reminded him of weakness
for sun and real food again...Death drove on...

" If that mother fucker has left us behind in this God forsaken
place I will kill the shit outta the whiny Death. I swear....",
screamed Venus " who caused all this really ".
" This is all my fault...", said John Kline to the group.
Domingo, Dave , and Venus " who caused all this really " stared
in disbelief. " Yer damned straight this is your fault John Kline.
Communication John Kline...It aint' yer strong point...", growled
Venus "who caused all this really ".
" I did what I thought was right by Jesus, and he did make
giant steps takin' that ugly little dog with him...No ? "
said John Kline in his own defense.... ". " Yes. Yes. Well,
have any of you considered how we're getting back to LA ? "
asked a stoned Dave..." Fuckin' Death...", said Venus
" who caused all this really...

Roy had been stuck on this on ramp for the past 11 hours
when a black OUF enters his perifiel vision and wack him in the forehead.
The blood dripped into his right eye.
Roy yelled , " AHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!
I will kill you you cretin bastard..." shaking his fist at the tail lites of the old Van.
Brake lites. The van was backing up. Roy tensed, as the last time this happened
Roy had taken a serious ass woopin' from some frat boys bent on Jack Daniels and fear.
The van pulls right up to Roy. Roy is face to face with Death.
" I am so sorry that hit you like that. I saw it in the mirror.
The damned thing would'nt stop ringing..." said Death.
" Well ah, you know if you just push this button here it will mute the ringer..."
Stammered Roy to an intrested Death. " Say where you going ? " He asked Roy,
" Oakland " He said. " Get in..." said Death. " Well I don't know... you hit me pretty hard
and your Death right ? Ahhh I don't know..." said a nervous Roy.
Ahh come on, I have a long road ahead and need a geek... I have this..."
Death held up a bag with about a pound of Domingo's weed...
" Well..." said Roy throwin' his backpack into the van...

" Awwww man, Death took the weed with him. That's it, I am going to die."
screamed Domingo into the wind....

" Did you here that ? like some one screaming " Nooooooooooooooo !!!"
asked Death of Roy.

Death sits, good advice from Miles, and the Weirdness of life..."

...Death sat. Sat watching the Law and Order channel.
The heater by the bed blew a hot dry wind
like a guy screamin' " ...It's like a hot dry wind "
into the hot dry wind. Death sat. Marveling at the
amount of alcohol he could consume, and with
the height of his callousness towards Jesus, as he sat 10 days in the van
in mortal fear of those little toothless poodles...
" Frekin' poodles...! " shouted Death.
" ...1 st degree homicide. 20- to life...", said the
Law and Order channel.

Miles watched the Ravens squakin' for hours
in the trees above the fallen youth.
The late spring ritual of Raven babies fallin' out the nest
at that first attempt at flight. The clan
guards and feeds the grounded youngster...creating
a two layered security ring no cat, nor little old poodle
should dare cross... " I say there my odd looking, yet delightful
little friend...I know what your thinking, and if I must say so
myself, I am terrified of the nasty little beasts. Give up that thought
Lil' Moco... just give it up. They would have a field day with you that
we will talk about well into the ought 20's, so we will..."

Lil' Moco watched a Ravens peck at a branch, screaming.
" Yeah. All good. You the man...", said a flattened
to the ground Lil' Moco.

Jesus looked out the window.
Jesus smoked.

lil' Moco's on fire...

" HE IS A VERY CRAZY MAN !!! oh I worry so much !
He should not be allowed to roam the streets alone. He
is a crazy crazy man...", said an agitated Arabial to a
very comfortable Lil' Moco, plopped down in the lap
of the poor Taxi driver...whom was holding. Lil' Moco
sniffed at the left front pocket lovingly...Arabial scrubbed
the furry little head, Lil" Moco sniffed, they both felt better.
" ...ah- will a Mister Jesus...Ah- Jesus Christ please come to
the nurses station...Mister Jesus Christ please come to the nurses
station...", squawked the speaker over the waiting area.
Jesus said... " Huh ! guess that's me....", walking towards a possibly
damaged Dan. " I - ah-mmmm - am Jesus Christ....
I'm here about Dan Irazzary ? He was hit by a taxi on La Supulvita ? ".
" !!! Hey Jesus !!!! oh man ...Jesus !!!!! ", yelled a drugged and loopy
Dan, from the far end of the trauma center... " Dan !!!!! " squeaked
Jesus. His weird friend was fine. " ...so I walked out into the street
thinking I would have a few at Bart's Strip club , when WOOOOOSH !!!
I see nothing but yellow and the screams of someone named Allah...",
explained Dan, as a very relieved Arabial enters the room...
" YOU ARE A VERY VERY CRAZY AND LUCKY MAN....! ".
Arabial hugged Dan whom groaned and winched in pain.
Lil' Moco lites a joint and the real panic begins...
The alarm goes off in the trauma unit. People begin to run about
screaming " FIRE FIRE FIRE...!!!!!!!!! "
The fire fighters arrived quickly. Spraying down a smoking Lil'
Moco..." Man, I am smoking here..." he said.
" Oh right right...we thought you were on fire..." said the
fire guy to a drenched Lil' Moco whom looked towards a
very irritated Jesus as Dan and Arabial smirked and snickered
... Giving the cool Lil' Moco a approving wink....

Who the hell gets runt' over by a damed taxi ? ", wondered a small
Lil' Moco, pacing. " Well, it is Dan after all...", reminded Miles.
" Oh right, right....", said Lil' Moco.

The Volvo sat with a layer of good ol' LA dust in the garage
Jesus shared with the dear Mrs. Silverman. It hadn't
been started in months. Putting the key in the ignition.
" Poor Dan...first day in LA and he falls victim to all
our worst nightmares...Being run down by a gypsy cab,
on La Supulivita Blvd. Jesus turned the key. The Volvo
came to life. " They just don't make cars like this anymore,
but of course being the son of God and all does pull a little
weight down at Karl's Swedish Motors " said a proud Jesus.

Lil' Moco ran wheezing acrossed the lawn to the garage an
yelled " Hey ! Hippie ! open this door I'm going with you..."

...Dan's first foray into LA,
Arabial's Taxi,
108 beers on tap...

...a dark bar

Dan's eyes adjusted to the darkness and got wide.
It lay before him, a vastness of beer. Much beer.
He came into focus admist the beer...Much beer.
The natives would have said, "Many beers, many beers..."
The friendly face emerged from the red gloom...
" Howdy friend...", said the glowing slick haired
black t-shirted bartender, Raul..." ...dude, we've
108 beers on tap...we got's 216
beers in bottles...
What can I get you man....? "...
Dan smiles.

Stumblin'.
Dan stumbled out into the hazy mid day light
of LA near blind. " Wheeeeooooo, I'm half blind...",
said a sloshed Dan. He was in Micro brew bliss,
toodling along La Supulveta Blvd... Thinking left, but going right
in a Deshutes fog..." Oh ! pour me another Mirror Pond, Raul...."
he mumbles crossing into the street...

...Arabial, a taxi driver from Pakistan, toodles along
La Supulveta Blvd. hummmming. He was working a second
shift that day an uneventful day, until Arabial's path crossed Dan's...

...Dan crossed out into the street with southern California hops,
pure water and hazy bliss on his mind,
Arabial had time to yell !!!Allah Akbar !!!
as an inebriated Dan rolled over the hood... then the windshield,
up and over the yellow taxi lite, Dan rolled... thinking,
" ...pour me another like the last one Raul, ya know man ,
the beers of LA stand alone in this weird world..."
he said, rolling down the back window, then trunk...

...Arabial was still screaming something as Dan lands upon the black,
hard La Supulveta Blvd. asphalt rolling rolling....
He ends up on his back staring up at the cloudless
LA sky..." ...the last time I saw you you looked
so much older you famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder..."
Dan hummed thinking he'd just seen a whisp of a cloud float by...
Arabial walks up. looking down upon a loaded Dan humming
Lenoard Cohen tunes...
...He said:
" !!! YOU ARE A CRAZY MAN A VERY VERY CRAZY MAN...!!!
OH LET ME HELP YOU UP....
WHAT HAS ENTERED YOUR MIND ???
YOU ARE A VERY CRAZY MAN
LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MY TAXI !!!!!
COME ON PLEASE GET INTO THE TAXI
YOU CRAZY CRAZY MAN ",
yelled a panicked Arabial.

Arabial took Dan to the hospital an was
was found to be a very resiliant crazy drunken man.
" HE IS A CRAZY MAN A VERY CRAZY MAN ....
Arabial said to the nurse at the counter....

Mrs. Silverman bails out, Lil' Moco

Mrs.Silvermen walked out the front door of Parker Center around 10:30

on that hazy LA morning, bursting with indignation...
" I was watering Jesus's garden you pagan pigs !!!! ",

she yelled at no one in particular. Everyone in general.

" Mrs. Silverman !!!! ", yelled Jesus to a space bound Mrs. Silverman,
and coming back to earth, she shriked " Jesus !!!!!!!!! Gracias a Dios..."
Hugs and kisses were shared. Apologies given and accepted...
They walked to Jesus Fiat, where Dan and a stoned Lil' Moco waited...
" I am so sorry for that little...incident ", said a humble Mrs. Silverman,
scratching Lil' Moco behind the ear. Kisses and hugs again, the four
drove off to Andy's for fat omelets and Bloody Mary's, some stories and
introductions, a few confessions were herd...

...Death watched the screen of his Dell with horror, and confusion.
The " Error Message B7-O>3 ", led to... " I am going to have to pay a visit
to someone...", cursed a tech challenged Death, thinking of Jesus
with that weird little dog...2000 miles away. " ... I have really screwed
this up...", thought Death, getting up to re-fill his Martini,
onions, not olives...

...Miles was learning to roll joints watching the you tube video
" Cats, and the rolling of joints...". Many papers were torn,
and much dope was spilt about the floor, sofa, and strangely,
the dining room lamp, Dan would later marvel...
while the hollering of...."!!!! WHY DON'T I HAVE THUMBS !!!!!!?????? "
would be herd from Miles
late
into
the afternoon.

startling Dan to fully awake. Fully..." HOLY JESUS !!!!

watched the whining shadow thru the bottle brushes...
" Oh right, right, I am in LA..."

Lil' Moco watched the bee's buzzing about the garden.
Miles told him " Those ain't the friendliest bee's we got around here dog..."
That was when Lil' Moco got stung....
" YEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWWW ",
screamed Lil' Moco running into the house to find Jesus.
" Fuckin' bee's ", he said as his nose began to swell...

Jesus sat at his Mac staring at a screen full of words from Death.
Just a blur of half words, half sentiments and just pure babble
Jesus read....
" ... and I find it brutal that you did not say good-bye
and that we would have at least, AT LEAST ! parted with an understanding,
and still friends...", read Jesus.
Jesus sighed, looking at poor lil' Moco
all swollen, " fuckin' bee's... " said lil' Moco, sorta muffled like.

"....Damned cops !!!!!

Dan's new view, Jesus answers his mail...

Dan laid back on his bed and looked out at a view of the
front lawn. Arcadia's and bottle brushes bloomed,
birds and bugs, birded and bugged....
" Wo... April 2 with flowers and warmth...
Lucky folks these wackos livin' on this left coast...
... And that poor little woman Mrs. Silverman
givin' those big cops
such a beating....
Jesus has a gun collection,
I would have never thought that.
I've a stoned dog that talks....
That's super odd."
Thought Dan,

Lil' Moco was hunting down a cat. Smiling.
Mrs. Silverman's cat Miles had taken
to Lil' Moco. There was a moment there
in the beginning, but after a few minutes of
puffing up ( Miles ) and a bit of grrrrrrr-ing
with alternating wheeez's, coughs, an some throwing
up of white foamy stuff (Lil' Moco),
flat, but still smelly and tasty sweet buds were chewed and rolled
about upon creating a stoned, chatty, laughing pair.
One rarely saw one without
the other close behind.
Lil' Moco was in LA,
he liked it.

JESUS ANSWERS HIS MAIL....

"... Dearest General Oswanawa,

Sorry to hear of untimely passing of your 26th cousin
once removed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

It was a warm and neatly kept 3 bedroom cottage. Kitchen in the back, and a

On..." The freak show and it's passing thru the Valley
of the Shadow of Death "
part 35
...Jesus, Lil'Moco and Dan hit LA, Mrs. Silverman
get's arrested...

There was applause at touch down, Jesus, Dan, and lil' Moco shared the ride
with a load of Spaniards from Benidorm on vacation to Venice Beach. It freaked
Dan, but lil Moco had him calmed down by the time they opened the doors with
hugs and far wells to all " these glorious people " Dan said crying and waving...
Jesus was back in LA. It was home. He'd been away too long. Things never change
in his LA. The cab ride from the airport... He knew all, every corner...every shop...
"Hey there's Andy's !!!! Ahhh man, I've gotta take you there.....", feelin' apart of the flow again.
The pulse of that wonderful town. " There's a house and a computer waiting for me to get home."
Jesus thought to himself.

They pulled up the long driveway to the house, it was late.
There were two cop cars parked in the drive, and some screaming,
calming words coming from the female officer..." Vamos Señora
Silverman ..." . Jesus smiled looking out over his flowers bathed in the red and blue glow of two
police cars and a helicopter's spot lite...," Welcome to LA Dan...I know your gonna love it here ",
he said to a shocked Dan standing with an mouth open gaze at the freak show playing outbefore him.
" Awwww- this aint' nothing Dan, come on put me down damnit ! and let's go see what freak boy's got to eat
...hey you did bring something to ah, hummm, you know, something to smoke..? " lil' Moco asked...
" Yep. " whispered Dan, " I got about a half pound...in my butt. " he giggled. Lil' Moco looked at Dan
in horror..." in your what ? " he gaped.

Mrs. Silverman was arrested for continued illegal watering,
resisting arrest, assault on not less than 3 officers
( at one point Mrs. Silverman had Officer Maney Milsky
in a headlock while giving him a " noogie",
as stated by Officer Milsky on his offical report.)

" Whatta beautiful garden ....", said the big guy cop,
closing the car door with Mrs. Silverman inside.

...The cat was on the table when Death opened the door.
" GIIIIT !! SHOOOO !!!! BAD KITTY BAD !!!!!! ", scolded Death,
putting the bags of potatoes , mangos and " UUMMMMM
Organic Strawberries.....", on the new glassed topped diningroom table
just delivered last week.
Death looked at the table.
" There are cat prints all over this table..." said Death, looking over
to Roy Earl licking a paw....

... The mail fell thru the slot in the door
" like flittering leaves to the floor...", recited Death
Death looked thru the mail,
reflecting....
" Been alotta folks....and I'm gettin' pretty old for this gig...."
reflected Death.

...Death sat down and opened a letter from one J.Level.
"Artist, x-patriot, exile....tired. OH ! theres a CD or somthing !!!
Roy Earl !!!! come here, let's look at this...( looking at the return address)
Ahhhh- J.Level is sending us something.... Come on !!!! ", coxed Death.

...Death discussed the paintings with Roy Earl and it was decided,
" for a laugh..." , giggled Death, " ...to let this one "squirm" alittle longer..."
It was really Roy Earl's idea...
and Death agreed.

They both like the " Manolin en directo ",

but Death liked " Si, robaos Meninas " more...
" yeah, let him squirm a little longer..." said Death.

Death levitated, lookin' out over the parking lot.....
Death said, ".... Can't see the damned thing anywhere..." hoovering over a Fiat.
Jesus said, " I TOLD you , it's in the LL section...Arrrrrg, come down, and come on...". Stomped Jesus, huffingly.
Death said, " ...You hate this place don't you...? ", smiling.
Jesus said, looking at his sandles, " Hate ? strong word, hate. "Dispise", NOW there's a word for ya. Despise.
I despise cooked carrots. I despise yippi little dogs, I dispise the Amerikan health care system

I dispise the person trying to make that left turn acrossed the double yellow line at rush hour...

You know I think they should let the bloody Taliban come here and just do traffic control...

I'd bet good money that the first beheading for such a heinous infraction, would encourge the others...thus eliminating that problem...And, yes, I despise the Mall. Really. "

They walked about the lot for about a half an hour, discussing what they each despised...
Death said, " I despise those little hotdogs in a jar..." Cocktail franks " Yeech !...and those

horrible bald cats...You know your neihbour what's her name ?...Mrs. Slivermen ?

Can't stand the wretched woman...."
Death continues , " You hate this place don't you...Eh ? "
Jesus said , " YES !. I hate the mall. The people whom inhabit it and the commerical
desert they offer as " the latest thing ". Crass commericalisim Ca -Chunk Ca-Chunk Ca-Chunk
Theres Three More !!! just like everyone. Like you !!!

YES!!!!!!

I HATE THE MALL !!! MAN OF PEACE,

FRRRRRR-EAKIN' OUT HERE!!! HAPPY ?

HUMMMMM ? HAPPY ??? EH ? ...." screaming.

Ignored.
Death said, " Like me ? with my one suit and sandles ?..."

Death said, " Ah ! here we are...you've got the keys, No ? ..."
Jesus said, " ....I - I - I thought you had um'... ??????? "
Death smiles.....

Jesus splits, Lil' Moco guilt's out,

and Mrs. Silverman's blatant disregard for the rules...

Mrs. Silverman stood holding the hose watering Jesus' garden.

She was a good neighbour .

" these azaleas are looking perfect ! ", she smiled. It was 3: 12 am.

Mrs. Silverman was in her bathrobe. Illegal watering in LA.

" I know she'll be up. Strange woman...", predicted Jesus

The fone rang... " Oyga ? " said Mrs. Silverman, in spanish...

" Mrs.Silverman ? this is Jesus, speak english ! " said Jesus.

" hola ? Jesus ?...donde estas ? ".

" Mrs. Silverman it's Jesus your neighbor, listen I'm

on my way back to LA and I'm bringing a little friend

say, how's your cat Miles? ..."

Lil' Moco sat with toes crossed awaiting the conformation...

" Yes, the cat was fine, and Yes, he loved little cute talented dogs..."

repeated Jesus, Lil' Moco went nut's with joy " A cat, I love cats...

but I'm feelin' bad about Dan ...ya know ?" said the little dog

looking over towards the big lug sittin' staring out the snow

blocked window like it was a view over the ocean, the condo

next door or a grassy lawn...Dan was sad.

" Do you think we should invite him out to LA with us ?..."

asked Jesus. " Gots the makings of another freakshow if'n yer a askin",

said lil' Moco.

" HEY DAN !!! i have the greatest idea..." yelled Jesus.

" Gotta call Mrs.Silverman, she's gonna love this...

" Hola, oyga, Señora Silverman otra cosita ..." said Jesus

to a now excited Mrs.Silverman...

passing that bronze cowboy,

sleeping under his bronze cowboy horse

up the street to the Vendome

to park the bikes, saying " Hi ! ", to Jennifer,

Jesus and Lil' Moco are splittin'

Dans flowered apron and a good fish soup...

..." Yeah, a stamp collection. Why does everyone always say

...A stamp collection...? I've quite a fine gun collection

that doesn' make folks go...You've gotta GUN COLLECTION ? "

explained Jesus to Lil' Moco...

" Say, you growing anything worth ...you know...you know..? "

asked a Lil' red eyed Moco of Jesus...

" Well it is California, we could get you something goin'...

I can buy anti-tank mines, a guy should be able to

grow a bit, for the dog yeah the dog... poor old Lil' Moco

Jesus said rubbin' Lil' Moco on the belly...

" FOOOOD !!!! " yelled Dan from the kitchen.

There in that warm and military clean kitchen stood

Dan, in a flowered apron holding giant bowls

of steamy fish ends and " NO shell fish for Jesus !!! " he said,

winking over at the little dog, sniffin', with a suspicious

look, on his curly small face, dippin' in a paw...

" Damn Dan, this smells great..." Jesus said.

They ate and enjoyed the warmth.

Jesus said, " Dan, we're leavin' outta here tomorrow

for the left coast...pass the bread please..."

And Dan said, with a worried and shock-ish look

" yer leavin' ? "

" Yeah, Lil' Moco wants to go see LA, and I'm tired of this trip,

I know theres a good nights sleep and a computer waiting

for me there, yeah we're goin' my dear friend ..." Jesus said.

" And you Lil' Moco...your going too ?" Dan asked.

" He's got CATS !!!!. Oh, ahhh- yes, I'm going to LA..."

he said, feeling a little sadder for saying it.

" Oh, ok... ah, I figured you'd stay here thats all. All good though.

I never had a dog, and well you seemed to like it here and all

but cool- yeah you'll love LA. Don't know why I live thru this

snow crap for so long any way...

" Jesus speaks, lil' Moco take's control.."

Jesus sat at the edge of his bed watching Lil' Moco roll from one side of the

room to the other, giggling. Jesus thought of Death and home. His LA Times

the Dodgers, his friend's down at the range. Jesus thought about the flowers

and the empty bird feeders, his browning lawn...

Dan was in the kitchen doing miracles with some can's and a bag of fish parts

the lady down at the market saves for him..." Gotta damned fine bouillabaisse

goin' here boy's . Hey Jesus, you eat shell fish right ?..." he said chopping away...

chopchopchop. Dan's flair for feeding the masses with some cans and bags of

miscellaneous meats, was legendary.

" ...you get that alot do you brother ? " do you eat shellfish...? " giggled Lil' Moco

between giggles. " Yeah. " said Jesus, breaking apart a big bud and tossing it to the

little stoned dog, rolling and giggling, still with the Leonard Cohen lines...

" ...The doctors working day and night but they'll never find that cure for love..."

swooned lil' Moco. Jesus sighed. He wanted to go home...

" Lil' Moco, I think it's time to go home..." he said

" Nobody " Lives " in LA man..." , giggled lil' Moco, between giggles.

" Man I've been out here along time, got a life in LA, Nobody lives in LA ? HUH !

I have my weird, yes, weird little house behind Mrs.Silverman. A garden that's dead now,

and what a lawn, man you should be so lucky to have a lawn like that in LA,

Mrs. Silverman again... nut with the illegal watering...does it at 3 am, nut case but a dear.

The bird feeders , and the cat's watching the bird feeder..." Jesus reminisced.
" Wait Wait Wait !!", sat up, sober as a priest..." Cat's?, you got cat's ? I love cat's..
Let's go ! right now ! give me the fone..." Hello Delta, one to LA and with small, cute
and mindful companion pet... no, no box... Ok. Ok... Yeee-esssss, my name ?"

looking over at an amazed Jesus...
" Name ? ahhh, Jesus H. Christ...
Yes, one in the same...tomorrow's fine. 11:32 pm, the red eye eh ?
No, thank you...clik... SO, we are outta here dude ! Give us a little smile..."

cajoled lil' Moco...

" So you want to go to LA ? " asked Jesus

" No swamps. No trees really... I have a small yard with flower's some squash

and some beans oh and the gun collection, a killer stamp collection...

Hey you like stamps ? " asked an excited Jesus.

" Stamps ? as in " Dawn !!!!!!, go to the store and buy some fucking stamps ?. Stamps ? "

asked lil' Moco, returning to the little peice of bud left on the floor.

" Yeah, stamps...". Jesus said.

...another rarely given political slant

from barrio Beacon Hill...

The brother's over at al-Baghdadia TV

report the other day, that the only person

in this tiny world to get clear with Mr.Bush,

Mr.Muntadhar al-Zaidi, whom had had enough

last December at a news conference with the

Prime minister of Iraq, Nouri Almalki looking smart,

a shoe was thrown, not well, as Mr. Bush

has always been a sly one,

but thrown

and thru the air it flew

expressing the sentiment of a people. Simply.

Mr.Bush is a war criminal, thats a given.

Muntadhar al-Zaidi,

he came as close, as close

as any human will ever get to seeing justice administered

for Mr.Bush's crimes against the Iraqi people,

humanity and our intelligence as a collective,

so he did.

Muntadhar al-Zaidi walks from prison in December-ish,

" Time off for good behaviour " ...all good.

He is a hero, has and will be treated as such.

A man makes a huge statement

with such a small an item as a shoe...

Why all the guns and bombs ?

Shoes are cheap...well except

in Spain, but that's a whole other story...

I advocate future wars be fought

with Spanish shoes,

rolled up mainstream newspapers,

and locally made water balloons,

so I do.

landed on my iPhone, it saved my life.

It's fragile electronics squished ,

compressing the 150 pounds of dead weight

fallin' into the size of a ice cream sandwich...

The iPhone saved my life.

The screen showed but a blank sad white

with a bar code looking vertical set of lines

that when scanned surely reads " I'm dead ".

The Stepford person at the Apple store would not take the bait.

I used all my material, guilt, subtle threats,

moralistic examples...nothing. Nothing.

The geek would not be rattled.

So, when I handed him the iPhone

and said nothing but " it's dead I think ",

he returned a minute later and Stepfordly he said...

" The water indicators are red, thus it's out of warranty

you have to pay 199$ for the repair, but, we'll just give you

a new fone..."

New fone ... 99$.

They extorted me into paying 2 times as much.

I told him as I was madly scribbling my name on the

Stepford like documents put before

me..." what if I told you I had fallen off a ladder

and landed on the iPhone and that it probably

had nothing to do with water...?"

" Cash or charge...?",

was all he said.

" ahhh-ummmmmmm - I'll have a pint a Manny's, thanks...
anyway , so there we were, Jesus with a bottle of Tequila and a bowl of
lemons imploring' the terribly altered crowd at the beach house, the last time that whole
group would hang again as it turned out... to drink and drink and saying it was " your patriotic duty "
they drank and drank... the cops showed at three and they had a shot or two...
...It was San Diego, Mission Beach to be exact, Santa Monica court, and Mission Beach Drive
I think it was the mushrooms, there were so many, you know..."
Dan said to lil' Moco, whom had a blurry view on the world...
" That's alright Dan can you see the way the light is blaring thru that window...
...Do I look any younger to you ???
... The last time I saw you you looked so much older- your famous blue rain coat was torn at the shoulder-----
swooned Lil' Moco...
" I heard from Lisa years ago in Portland, she was workin' for a answering service
and had a huge dog named Guinean. An Irish wolf hound, big as a house so she was.
Dixie Brown was so way long gone he has turned into but a legend...
I miss that guy sometimes..." Jesus said
" Yeah, I miss that guy sometimes..." said Dan
Hey where's my frickin' beer... NURSE !!!!! ..."
yelled Dan to the bartender.

Ya'll remember Bernardo, no ?

Bernardo ripped off 50 billion bucks

and a couple of days ago a judge

sentenced him a staggering 150 years

in prison.

A death sentence, basically.

A vengeful society

treats the loser

like they forgot the huge bucks they had recently

received...their whin'n about the principal,

remember, Bernardo chose them,

and they were giddy

at the prospect of having

" Bernie ", at the helm of their finances...

until they lost, of course...

A little anger there ?

You bet.

Everyone greedy ?

You bet.

So, for those of you whom have crossed a line,

you know, laundered a bit of cash from a sketchy

source, or those that have taken something sacred,

you know is not yours... remember 150 years

is a very long long long way to pay back your debt...

sure it goes down in years from there

Fact is, it is a good time to start worrying,

the pressure is gonna get turned up a bit from now on...

No more Julian's

No more Maite's

Madoffs...

No more....

We have all been warned.

Be nice.

Do the right thing.

Everybody wins....

" ...an eye for an eye make the whole world blind..."

Gandi said that and it's probably relevant nowadays...

Negoicate !!!!!

Sunday at the new house

2009-06-08T05:27:00.008+02:00

Ravens and nests with the future growing inside
looking to me for some protection some solice and
maybe a worm or two..." Vamos tio..."
Charlie the bird that talks said " good morning "
freaked me and I dropped the cup of coffee...
a perfect one, you know the one...
Cat's live under the house
boxes of the oldest coolest " Junk ",
but we call it " our defined tastes
and if you don't fu&@in' like it..."
I truly miss the old house.
That view
I never drove that Jeep
Sittin' with R...
Times short.
I am returning soon to that weird and
beautifully complicated land,
that has grew to be apart of me.
As a brother that has seen many things
Many things
the Natives would say
" Many things...many things "
I have seen enough of this place to know I belong
there. I understand the Spanish people innately
more than these Amerikans, whom aside
from a handful, lack some soul, some manners,
and well, the ability to leave the hate behind...
All good.
Y'all got yer rights,
so you do.

Buried a raven baby today.
Fell out the nest didn't know
that it was a long way up, so he/she didn't...

Some good advice...
Remember just how high up you are,
and that falling is but a bad move ahead.
Set your ladders next to the bushes
you might make it...so you might.

be well todo mundo,

I have noticed that one of you there in ol' Oviedo is downloading various
pieces to your computer. You have been here every day, except saturday
and sunday, 114 times. Do you have my paintings and are wanting to give
back ? An email to Jlevel77@gmail.com is a good place to start...
All good.

on... " The freak show and it's passing thru the Valley of the Shadow of Death "
pt. 29 " San Diego, Lil' Moco sings Leonard Cohen, memories..."

Lil' Moco laid under the tree. Occasional turning over on his
back to roll and kick his feet around. He was in a disco
in downtown Lake Charles. It was 1970. His hair was puffy.
The dream was observed and discussed between bites of
pad Thai, and fiery tacos that scorched one's throat
and bringing tears to Jesus' eye's...
Jesus said... " CHRIST MAN !!!!, I can feel this stuff
burning holes in my butt...! ".
Dan was awash with stories. He'd been playin' with the band
4 day's a week and could finally pay his rent on time...

...Jesus and Dan met in San Diego, 1979.
Jesus was on another one of his wandering thing's when
he passed that now mesmeric spot on 5th ave. Down in the ghetto.
Kenny was sweepin' the walk in front of the dojo next door.
A short and powerful brother, with a bright and inviting smile...
Jesus said..." I'm looking for a place to rest and write for awhile..."
Kenny pulls out a set of keys, handing them to Jesus.
" ...3rd floor second to the last door on the left. That's yours,
make yourself comfortable no one will bother you here..."
said the mild and powerful Kenny D.

The room was small. Plaster walls and a sink. Small.
The window was set into the wall a foot. Very small.
Rusty and peeling window frame held a small piece of
weather stained glass that when opened looked out over
the San Diego harbor and all the Navy ship's and their
machinery...and way over there was the ocean...
The bed was non existent.
Jesus put his sleeping bag below the window.
His Royal typewriter on the floor next to the bed.
Jesus said..." OK. Home. ", and went exploring.

" Knock Knock " said Jesus to the first door he came to.
It was opened by Dan, a military clean, afro'ed
harmonica playing Puerto Rician, whom smiled,
then slammed, lovingly, the door in Jesus' face.
Jesus thought..." OK..."
They would end up great friends.
With many adventures there on 5th ave
in ol' San Diego...

" ...the last time I saw you you looked so much older
your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder....."
sang Lil' Moco under the big pot tree in Dan's
living room...
Dan said..." ...Can carry a tune that dog..."
breaking out a harmonica....
