Walkin' home from a client yesterday...

That paintings finished, and
under the scrutiny of the mother
a mean 3 foot tall Italian woman
who negociated without mercy,
never a comfortable moment.
Not a comfortable person.
I won.

Walkin' home thru the park,
I find alota Sacramento like
odds and ends
set up
and
people were lookin'
and talkin'...
Thank's guy's.

Overheard....

" We've no Jazz festival this year..
Budget problems
you know...Gitas (bagpipes)
we got... Hate gitas...", sez Marjua
to Mari Pili...

" ...and 50 naked mannequins in the street
too dear..."
sez Mari Pili to Maruja...

It was like the 80's again.
Domingo and B.L.
Ground Chuck and
Crazy C... and my van
should be around here somewhere...

I have this information, or "yet another tidbit of top
secert information that there is another rebellion bustin'
out in the Level reality. I Know...I know...
Who needs or wants a rebellion ?
" call me what you need or must...but call me..."
sombody said that, I forget who...

I personally find it easier to ask your giveness
than ask your permission. Just works out that way,
we're not the brightest...but we aint biophyssists(?)
either....remember.

So, In the english school today
The kid smiled when I said
" Your a genius Ignacio,
look at you, speakin' english...jo."
little miricles, from little folks...

...We do,
did,
and will continue what the moment
calls for...Ignacio, whom has 8
years on the planet, wrote,
"The green apples are my favorite..."
and now he feels like a genius...
Cool...

We're a freakshow of a bunch...
so we are.

...so, call us what you will,
but call us...hummmmm.


be well todo mundo,

...and S.C,
you should not believe
what you can't touch
with your own hand and/or soul...
be immune, and feel immortal,
you just may be...
I am.
I feel so.

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...

Welp, as of yesterday, sez the lawyers, i am " free to live my life normally ", translated literaly. The State conceeds and all is supposedly right with the world... Good. i have said it many times, " Brother, why even waste the energy tryin' ? " This all started with The Moors, Dali and El Cid...Marco informed me, add now to that heavy history, J. Level....whom has witnessed ineptness, and confusion, and of course, look WHERE this strange tale of love, strife, adventure and beer, is occuring.... Ahhh, it's a weird and beautiful country, so it is....That's España, friends.
.
The ID card should be commin along "soon", the word "soon" is thrown around pretty freely around here, and it's summer in the rainy city, so with anyone whom can do any paper movin' outta town till about September, tending their little gardens in their little houses built with money of dubious origen, in Marbella, where all the mayors since i arrived here in 97' are, or have been imprisoned for fraud, money laundering and or bribery and extorsion....a different set of priorities around these parts, and what with the accepted level of corruption at heights never before considered, they've got alot goin' on, they'll get around to this poor artist "sooner" or later, surely. Don't have a house in Marbella... yet. So I'll be here waitin' aroun' here for ya'll to get back, in Asturias. All good oh....
... And with that behind us, we start again. 8 years and 245 days later, i begin again. The Freakshow continues.
i'm cool. All good. got three words to begin with this new era..."COMPRA ALOG TIO !!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Be well todo mundo. Good things commin '.......
