" On .... The balcony, Domingo and the cards delt..."


30.10.07
Uvieu,España

Sat out on the balony
we watched the sun go down and
smoked and talked
we came to some conclusions
We are freakies.
We accept our lot.
Could be worse....no?

Thinkin' of you,
Domingo,
my dear old friend....

So, all is back to " normal ".
We are bullet proof.
The waves that have caused us
to escape to the country
were surfed with a sence
of humor and ironry...

"... We're so lucky..."
"... Always have been...."
"... Yeah..."
"...I love you alot."

... A normal guy named Jesus....

My Dear pissed off reader,
It is not often i have the opportunity to explain what I write,
and I thank you for your advice...
BUT, your not my Father. My father is an older man,
a diplomat, and I believe, nothing like yourself... " Style666"

" A normal guy named Jesus "
Just a story. A series of stories, where I'm just showing from an artistic and creative point
of view, THAT all, that's all famous or known people
are just that...People. Jesus, The Guy , in the present day, would have to go to the bank,
buy underware
pay bills
stand in lines
buy cars and gas
and parts in
" Jebb's U-pull it "...
Just a guy.
The stories of Jesus buying arms and granades...
Always very polite.
Just excersizing (? sorry) his right to bare arms...
as Jesus lives in America
On 12th...
has a lawn and a morgage...
and soon....
Maybe a 65' Rambler
who knows....

.... So, be as pissed off as you have too, " Style666"
I have had bigger, meaner,
and more
powerful folks pissed at me...
Huh, Like the country of Spain,
for example.
They, eventually, will get over it.
You will too. Trust me
I am a professional.


Be well todo mundo.

I was 25 again
and all was right with the world.

9 years.....


19.10.07
Uvieu,España

9 years ago, my hair was black.
Washed up onto the beach about 4:00pm.
Washed up in Madrid.
We smoked in Puerto Del Sol...
" Now what ?"....I asked strange Venus
" To the Hotel Europa !!! of course... " sword drawn
Venus leds the way...

9 years later, my hair is gray.
Venus is long gone, and a 1000 paintings
have changed hands how many times over.....

I've The Girl
the little white dog
that huge roll of surreal art
and abouta millon words written on this
Weird and beautiful country... In which I remain
hopeful
respectfully indignant / content / fucked,
but content...
" Been a long hard ride, Domingo, so it has..."

I stood last July in the scorching heat
of Madrid's smoggy mid day rush
acrossed from the old Hotel Europa..
Kilometer 0
"... So, Brother..."
I said to myself,
" ...Been a freakshow gettin to this point,
back to the beginning again..."
I
said
to
myself...

The battle for position and knowledge
and the cultures constantly changing currents
The ripp tides and sharks have this poor artist
alittle worn
alittle tired
but only alittle tired
alittle worn....huh, thats nothin'.

"... Que tal oh..? "
"...Bien.Bien. Jodido, pero contento. Como todos..."
( Good.Good...fucked, but content, like everybody...)

Will go to "The Paloma" today and see Pepe,
the first to pour this artist a beer
in the rainy city
long ago.
He will ask, as always,
" How long ? "
" 9 years... " i'll say
...and Pepe will pour a beer we'll sit and talk
of fights and floods
art and shoes
mean girls and dogs
food and Juan Falcon
and España...
and of what a weird and beautiful place
we washed up onto long,
long ago...


I'm going back to bed.
It's 6:47 am.
The Girls there,
and it's always warm
and safe
Safe and warm....

Blessed ? You bet.
The Freakshow continues...

Be well todo Mundo...

There are worse things....


17.10.07
Uvieu, España

Rainin' and far from the house
I find myself on a bus...
" There are worse things Brother..."
Not thinkin' in what the clouds mean
nor why their there
Their there.

Things rust.
Everything is based on the intrest
and / or
the ability of others to see the value
in the rusty thing.
I see art
a table base
lampshade
Coat rack...

Some just see rusty junk
and throw the shit out.

That Sax,
those brushes
them words ...
those poems
them films of dreams ...

Roll us uppa' 'nother
Domingo.... Things could be worse.
Look....
but don't look to hard. You are loved,
and respected by many more
than yer thinkin'
so you is....

" on...Drugs or Jesus " part 1


03.10.07
Uvieu, España

The sweaty little man was the negociator.
" Damn !! a "Jumper" Damn !!! Damn !!! oooo Donuts..." Stopping the big Ford at the light.

Dave sat calmly out on the ledge of his 7th floor office window.
" Nice day out here... " thought Dave. It had not been the best of days.

It started this morning about 8:00. Shelia was mad, and stomping around...
" Mean as a snake ! ", he'd said to Allen, the copy guy. The drive to work,
" 8 miles ...1 hour 14 minutes... " thought Dave sitting in his now parked car.
" 12 minutes late ", reflected Dave

He'd clocked in under the vulture like stare of Mrs. Wilstine, the boss's secretary.
" The woman looks like a wet rat...." he'd said drunkenly, at the 2005 Xmas party.
It had not gone unheard... Mrs. Wilstine had vowed revenge...her list was very long
of terrible things she'd planned for " that heathen dog " Dave Kline...

Dave office mates were being childishly crule. " Is this my coffee cup ???!! ", growled Dave
looking around the office. " That Jon Ishmal... a deliquent...", thought Dave. Dave sat down to work...
Three sucessive phone calls told him, " This is going to be a long day ". Dave looked out the window,
got up and befor anyone could get a word out aginst this silly plan.." Well that was easier than
i thought it'd be...huh....", Dave said, getting comfortable out on the ledge.
