It's solved...

...I received a letter, yes, a letter written in a child like hand
and in Castellaño, to the address I was to be deported too
and roughly translated reads this...

...after the argument we had the morning of 7 Jan 2007,
I saw that you were right in your reasons for
wishing to remain in Spain. I saw you writing and
herd you translating for the Africans and Arabs,
you were compassionate and kind, though your situation
was very, very bad. I liked you very much. Not the typical immigrant.
...If you are still wondering what happened to your
passport, you may rest assured it has been taken care of, permanently.
I hope your life has become what you said it would given the chance,
and you are painting many pictures.
I remember your paintings. I have retired. You may contact me at.....
and I can answer some of your questions...

That's it. Mystery solved.
I know who took the passport to keep Jess
in the country and from the great Satan.
Because " he ", liked me.
I told ya'll.


Nothing turned out as planned,
and I am in exile...
But ya'll know that.

Cold and rainy in the barrio.
Steel's here eating a salad.
R's reading the new recycling rules.
Marpa just shows up from skiing...
...and I'm wondering what's happening
in the old barrio nowadays...?
I am a legend, I guess.
Just spell the name right
that's... L-E-V-E-L .

Anybody else with something to say ?
Anybody ?
Anybody ?
My in-box is always open.

Be well Pepe R.
You are the angel
I had said you were.

waiting in line...

Like Ikea
I could not
follow their map
looks alot like this
and they still wanted us
to buy some of
their crappy
stuff

Lines did not seem as
bad a wait in the old country
The old ladies squakin'
and chirpin'
complainin'
and telling me how cute the
little white dog was
"...que guapo eres..."

Lines here have a tension to um'
lines mean there's something
up there ahead worth
being in the midst
of a hundred people
trying not to look
at
or be looked at by the other
99.
Many cell fone conversations
mostly just holding the fone up to
their heads, not speaking
but using it as a shield.

Cold sorta folks
that don't comment on the dog
smile
or
say thank you.

All good.
I live my life behind dark glasses and my fone...

oh look I can see my old house from here..

A rare comment on current events....

Muntathar al-Zaidi.
A hero, whom has shown that Mr.Bush
could see when passions flare, and it's simply
a passionate act happenin' here. He said the
only thing a man in his position could say,
" I wasn't threatened ".
" This is a good thing, freedom
of expression...".
" We want peace... ",
sayin' everyone...would have done
the same. Or no ?
He spoke the truth.
He was cool with it.
Muntadhar al-Ziadi should be free.
No harm. No foul. Bush said it.

I met some Arab men in a place in the
deep south of Spain once, whom
gave a differing opinon on the man...
" He is a hero that saved the world...".
" God love Mr. Bush " ( in broken spanish-darija-english)
I herd that. All valid.
I kept my mouth shut.
That's called tact, the art of shutting one's mouth ,
before some one shuts it for you.
Free Muntadhar al-Zaidi.

Bernard Madoff. " Bernardo" to you and me.
He fell on his sword, and took all the blame.
All the " VICTIMS ", are guilty of the worst
form of greed. It probably always amazed
and made dance on table's, the investor
whom watched as the recessions of the 80's
ate their neighbours alive and the money rolled right in.
It's good to know " broke " for once in one's life.
I don't fear broke.
" Bernado " Madoff, now there's a brother that's made
peace with broke, or no.
Read. Study the Tora. Paint. Write your book.
write the children's book...

That's what I've to say about current events.
Won't happen again for a spell, I assure you.

Oh, they'll be 7 billion people on the planet
by 2010. India has a billion point 3 or so,
Amerika...300 million.

May we all live with great views from the 133 rd floor...
Good, no ? 190 floor buildings everywhere
to house the overflow...

...So, you go out to an iland

" ...so you'll go out to the iland and paint,
simple...no ?. You send your paintin's to me
and I 'll sell them...Just remember, your
dead..."
It's occurred again.
The ol' " ...if you were dead the prices go up.
Get it ? Get it ?..." plan.
For the I don't know how many-th

On..." The Freak show and it's passing thru thr Valley of the Shadow of Death" part 25 " Another resturant with Jesus ..."

( for Dabs, enjoy. And for all 25 chapters click on " The freakshow" in "things you may find"
this will be almost the last entry of the freak show. I'm planning a book based on the stories
so download them now. They be valueable later. The freak show will pay off. Worry not. The world is good.)

"...!! Will you get this dog offff meeee, damn !!!" , yelled Wayne B.
Lil' Mocos had reacted poorly to Wayne B's comment on intelligent
design, Darwin, and the existence of God. The reaction was a strong one,
Lil' Mocos trying, and trying to gum his way thru to Wayne B's jugular.
Calmly Jesus scooped up Lil' Mocos off poor Wayne B's neck,
and holding him up to his skinny face he said, " You will behave
yourself ", plopping a small kiss on the dog's curly head...

The waitress dropped the brimmin' plates.
Corned beef hash for Wayne B. Biscuits and sausage gravy
for Jesus, who broke off a chunk o pork for Lil' Mocos.
As Wayne B wiped the slobbery goo from his neck with a
napkin holder napkin, he said... "... Now what in the hell was that ? ",
" You crossed the line sir, grrrrrrrrrr-....hack -cough-wheeeeeeze-
wheeeeeez-grrrrrrrr... ", growl-wheezed the little, old, toothless
Lil' Mocos nearly up on the table, growled.... " Im Jesus's Dawg muther fu*%&#."

" Both ya'll stop !!!! ",
Jesus hissed. The guy in the next booth, Steve Manowit,
an out of work screenwriter from Charlotte, North Carolina
sunk a little lower in his seat. "...I will tell you a secret if you'll both
mind the peace...", offered Jesus to Lil' Mocos and Wayne B',
whom nodded suspiciously...

Jesus chomped a biscuit. Wayne B
and Lil' Mocos hung on every chomp... and Jesus said, " You ever see
an orchid ?. Frickinly weird and obscenely curious, I have a friend
Ed, lives in Washington, the guy grows the most fascinating orchids.
Sez they, " ...come from a mix of all the beautiful women he had ever known.
That they left behind their essence and the flowers played on it..."
What it really is, is a creation of Neil Blim. God's R & D guy.
Just after the beginning, more or less. I saw him running up the hall
towards Dad's office one day with this alien looking plant mumbling something
about Venus and Granada and some thing named Dali...
Neil's also responsible for that little bug with
all the legs...ahhhh? Damn !??? ...". " ... A centipede ? " offered Wayne B,
" Right ! Neil Blim ", said Jesus, soppin' up some gravy and feeding it to
Li' Mocos... " So, your saying " Created ", asked Lil' Mocos.
" Yep ", said Jesus. And little Mocos jumped up and looked Wayne B
in the eyes and said, " HA! I TOLD YOU SO ! ", beginning to roll around
on his back singing..." na-na-naa-na-na-na naa-na hey hey....", so he did.
And Wayne B said " Git out...the rib, the apple, and of course the hot babe
Eve, man I tell ya..." and Wayne went on, and Jesus explained, and
Lil' Mocos fell asleep, content. " So this crawlin' out the mud and monkey's
to man posters... I like the one where it's a monkey evolving into G.W. Bush
that was funny as hell..." Wayne B went on...

" Damn !!! ", said Wayne B.
" Damn !!! ", said Steve Manowitz in the booth behind Jesus, Wayne B,
and the contently serene Lil' Mocos sleeping with his head touching
Jesus thigh...
so he knew he was there.
