Waiting. there are many things i need to do... started writing the book. it will be a play and a short film... and many paintings and drawings... ive things to do... do you ? my advice , rarely given , is paint, shoot, draw, sculpt, draft, design, film in tape 1/2 ,3/4 or beta 8 , 16, 35, or 70 mm. record, sample, or create a new sound, poem..... thats my rare given advice....

I, I don t believe, sometimes, that these things are really occuring. sat last nite in a little bar. the girl, she stayed at the house searching for a free anti-virus download... there are 7 of my paintings showing on the smoky walls of that little bar... i sat . smoking with diego and the boys... watching the smoke rise. cloudin my view....

on the big video screen are the fotos from the cd of 2006 work, and lookin at these old paintings im thinking..."Man... these are all in the hands of evil dreadful woman , so they are..." the story will be a long one. we re in the spanish courts you know...

i am getting bored. No, i am bored. sittin there, contributing to yet another cap of hash laced nicotine scum over the painting called " Mundanzas Que-ho " im thinkin " there aint been no action, no derverision , no grand miricles , no earth moving, nor nerve rattling strife in nearly 6 months...huh. " 6 months ago i was in court with the witch 5 times. nerve rattling? Action ? Earth moving? Life altering? you betcha.

fran the agro punk called yesterday arternoon. " if i was there i d just give you a good slap upsied the head...and tell you, as i was driving you to the hospitial ,to get on with it already. the shits GONE!!!!!!!!!. get used to it...YOU AINT NEVER GONNA SEE THOSE PAINTINGS , YOUR CAT OR THOSE REALLY COOL BOOTS EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and then i d probably give ya another slap upside the head just to reinforce my " advice ". Get on with it already my brother...."

Hes probably more right than i m willing to believe or except... glad he was nt here, so i am...


When life deals you a hand of freaks..... You make a freakshow.
im cool , but the freakshows gettin a little larger than i had planned or prepared for, your honor, and well......



be well todo mundo.

" man .. im fuckin sick....
"it s only the flu. you wont be dying or anything. Relax..."

Ive probably been smoking alittle too much.
and ive probably taken things a little too seriously these past months.
And ive probably proved my immotality,on moe than one occasion,to one or moe of these people
im dealin with on a day to day basis.... some times i forget... we deal with everyone differently. dependin on
whom they are. me ...? as we all know my story, im wonderin about yours...thats all. just a wonderin...

worlds surreal and i dont have a real camera with which to document these few thoughts i had...
probably better. " You ve enough political problems, Jess... " one dear friend reminded me. Probably right.
so, these words will do, until Fuoco gets around to gettin here. he will re-infect me, and i, will again make movies.
not movies for everybody... but lets face it, art, ain t for everyone. probably better that way...

... so to those with the art hidden behind the sofa... keep it there. probably better for everyone.
me? im smokin and got the flu, but paintin and writin and prayin for that miricle.... they happen you know..? and to the damndest people... or no ?

Be well todo mundo...

"everyone has a plan..."

Plans change. ive been workin on the 24 hour business plan for about 8 years now...sometimes it works.
