..I just clean windows

25.07.08
Vashon,WA

... I just take my shoes off

and go in barefoot knowing all this will
look different in about 2 hours
The dog wanders around
and I have wonderful conversations
with whoever's there...
When I leave the light is different
and who evers there sez
" wow ! look at the light !!! "
I've cleaned the windows
not more. Just alittle attention
was all they needed to shine,
to let in the light that was there,
but covered with some stuff...
Like everything
and everyone...
I put my boots on.
The dog jumps in the Jeep
I tie the ladders on,
and we drive that lovely
drive back town
Earl
Don and Mike at Bishops...
then ,
to the house...
I made 324 bucks.
The dogs happy.
The windows are happy,
and all is right with the world,
in middle earth.

I'll share.
you always have a place
in middle earth, Neng...
always.

... crossed the water today.
Been out there couple a weeks, and it is settin' in my bones.
That Island...
Don't feel like Cap Hill stands much of a chance.
Roux
He just said,
" I cannot believe you are going to live on the Vashon...
well, then again,
It's really perfect !
I say, it is a good Idea. "
He's called the " President "
by many from here to India
to Vashon,
and in Burton, that little peice of middle earth.
Blessed...?
You bet.
The plan is approved by the President,
What more can a brother say ?

I will put up the first peice when it's done.
Soon Styl666, soon.
I am fine, no really.
Thanks for the words...
I know.
this is better
for everyone.
Thank's.

All good ?
All good.

Hung with the brothers at the Mexican burrito joint

....about 8.30 pm one long and emotionally
charged year ago, "They" opened the big green steel door
to the street in front of the concentration camp
and asking me, a basically destroyed "illegal" human
" We did'nt treat you bad, did we ?" murmured the fat cop
I'd named " 50 cents " as he stole 50 cents from
me in a tobacco deal one day...
tobacco was banned you know...

Yeah Brother,
piasano mio,
ya'll tried your worst an ya
failed horribly... givin' up without
honor or grace.
I never, for a minute believed ya'll would
treat people like that...
preachin' all that "respect" stuff an all
...and I will betcha' theres a special
place in hell waitin'for ya'll,
so I do.

The hero's remain the center.
Thanks.
Ya'll know who you are, so I won't go into
the long list...
but you few,
The girl, those lawyers
and the family in España,
warriors, so they are...
all still fresh and respected
and marked in my fone book
forever...

Still a bit fucked in the head
from all this, but only alittle
fucked
in
the
head...
thats nothing...been thru worse.
There's others though, still a sufferin' the electorialistic
redreric of the left and right...

...62 euros a day per head, for 3 euros
worth of " care and maintenance "...for 40 day's...
Immigrants caught in the web,
are rentable,in the big picture of things
so they are..

Ugly shit brothers and
sisters,
but
that's the way it is...
I've accepted it
more or less
That's that.

The criminals remain free
and their seemingly,
but assumably,
behind that mis justice,
against the immigrant,
that's me...and that's the way it is.

" Do your worst ". I say.
It's been tried before and didn't work.
I am not your typical immigrant...
I bite
have mean lawyers
and know
whom to trust,
after 9 years and 128 day's in ths
weird and beautifully complicated country...
I await your apologies...
in writing works better for me,
if'n yer gettin' my drift...

Other than that, I remain in search of
about 10,000 bucks,( down from 20,000 )
most currencies will work,
just tryin' to get on with it you know...
projects goin on
an all...
There's paintings and accommodations waitin'
...you've never eaten food like this before...
and the girl's are the most beautiful, and as
dangerous as anywhere I have ever been or seen...
A trap waitin' to be tripped
for most of you,
so, you are forewarned...


I remain in love, and have respect for the Gods
that conspired to have me, a poor, but famous artist
sittin' here Free, today, so I do.


...That was a real live fuckin' freak show, so it was...

...The big green door closed behind me.
The end of a tragic Greek comedy...
The sunset was what I remembered of Malaga
back in 2000, bloody red and fire orange...
...I asked this junkie where a brother
could get a taxi around here...?
He pointed up the way,
somewhere up thata way...

All good.
I was free and had all night...
I will never forget that sensation
as long as I live...


be well todo mundo,

...and S.C., I still invite your call. I'm

!!!! Barbi hell , discoverd !!!

16.02.08
Uvieu,España

...From my experts comes a bit of disturbing
news... Barbi hell, is Oviedo. The Campillen to be exact
and about 500 meteres from my house. Huh.
No screams
No smoke or flames, nope.
just those gitianos and their kids...

We did not pass thur barbi hell yesterday.
A Sunday in the barrio.
I sanded and primed some 120 meters of molding
and said...
" please, don't sweep that dust around... You want
these to come out perfect, no ? "
4 times...
Oh, the girl's opening a hair salon you know...
No, not my bar, but a hair salon.
There are 102 bars for every 1000 persons in España.
Could hardly go wrong opening
" The mean waiter cafe' ", or no ?
Tommorow I paint the 120 meters of molding
It will be perfect.

Today I offer beer for life and a plac for
the first person to come up with 20 grand.
Name inscribed, and nicely framed,
it will hang behind the bar,
and will be praised much and by many...
"The Mean Waiter" sounds like a great place, or no ?

...My Xmas citique'... and/or, disclaimer....

....So, another Xmas in the rainy city.
This one will be the one I'll remember
in three phases...rainging from pure innocence
to, the most guilty of us all...some are with us,
some, luckly, are not....

The guy in Bremerton(?), Washington put UP (↑)
the most brutal statement I've identified with
in this o this weird moment... Xmas.
Complicated
and emotionally charged
and dis-charged , so it's been.
" Santa, gave his life for YOUR Mastercard..."
" Woo...." I thought...Wo.

Here, where I live...
It has been a very emotionally charged and dis-charged year,
so it has.
The ability to remain united aginst
the common evil, The state, for example,
is pretty new to me...
I've never had a group of individuals
behind me, swords drawn,
demanding my liberty
and ready to defend it...
Yep, pretty new to this poor artist...
I love them, and, I fear no evil, Domingo,
my dear old friend,
so I don't.

...Tommorow there will be my nephew,
he's aware theres something goin' on...
a year old, as of the other day, so he is,
Xmas will be different, there will be many firsts...
There have been many firsts...
I love the Girl,
a warrior, and a hero...

God is good, despite the crule jokes and traps,
so he is.

I am
We are
Blessed.

Tommorow, Corte Ingles
the big commerical demigods
will end this xams moment
with !!!!!! Big Sales !!!!!!!!
and Santa will be put away,
and the flouresent green
of next falls fashion will be the
order of the day,
all back to normal.
ahhhh....
Everybody.....!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Buy art after Xmas,
folks.....

"...Nothin' left to do but smile smile smile..."

said Jerry, back when things were
alot more simple
than they are today...

I am avaible.For hire,

Plus, expenses.
Just like Rockford,
whom had the good sense to live in his
trailer ALONE
and not suffer the slings
and arrows of out right NUTS...
Has everybody gone nuts and
forgotten to tell me ?
Jo!!!. Got lots to do... I always have a back up plan,
the ambush is always taken as such,
an ambush. Emotional, physcial,
spirtual...
I've learned to be ready....

" It's not your yard...." she said.
another fiesta today, everythings closed...There

launders black money, kicks and spits at the Paparizzi
cameras flyin', microphones squashed, reporters cryin'...

but Julian her boyfriend,
the mafioso, he stays in...was the mayor of Marbella you know..
and was married to Mitay..who went to jail also for a few
big glad bags "Garden Sized" filled with money...
La Pantoja....she married a bullfighter..."don' they all..."

...The valley of the shadow of Jess... Part 1

05.08.07
uvieu,España
My friends, the long ride ends. the circle completed. I'm on the couch.Its Sunday. A-Team's on the tube, Hannibal's Spanish...is perfect. Madrid my friend, Madrid. Hot like Africa hot. Hot. Fuckin' hot. Hot. The attitude of the indigenous was indignantly madralaina'... all snarly and apathetic. I love the place. Has no effect on this American, them peoples like dat all da time in America...or no? Madrid. Indian food in Lavapies a barrio with ten cultures and languages goin all at once...we sit in a cool breeze in a cool plaza, the African brothers the Arab brothers those Bolivians and Colombians Chinese and Russians Moldavians Bosnians Romanos Cubans Dominicans..... seemingly all getting along in that little palce.... the rastro in the Latina nearly got me ...Hot? like Sahara hot. Leaving that weird island called Puerta del sol, and underground, we ride on to that Museum Reina Sofia... I watched a tear flow from the right eye of the girl as she stood quietly before " La Gurnica" de Pablo Picasso... it 's quite a piece. I'v a little more respect for the brother. A little. The same effect with the few Dali's, and the Miro's , the last painting being the three dot's ... i hope that the evolution of my own work and its final pieces will be more than just three smeared dot...ya know what i mean..? To the garden and another Miro, we smoke and talk... The girl was truly beautiful sitting there next to that fountain....surrounded by art and "Art ? " Beautiful, so she is.
Rode on to Salamanca the next day....

more in part 2 " The valley of the shadow of Jess "
