nothing like a deadline to get me writing, or not writing
i will write for others on their timetable
im less likely to write for myself
id rather write it tommorrow
let the idears percolate a little
heading to cali to surf
it would be nice to have a thumb drive in my pocket....
but who knows if ill ever do my thing
current thinking is to TEASE the next six or seven issues
with an hour (or more) a day on line, writing, editing

got a job to trickle some cashflow back into the coffers
the new boss claims to be cool with a 3 day work week
i could expand the work week if i wanted to
but maybe just maybe ill work for myself the same amount of time
the last job i had made me value time more and the words flowed
the words flow as a great excuse
flowing well when the chores beckon
a summer full of chores ill get to tommorrow
still out there

ok brain im on to you
ill out think you yetyou crafty lazy bastard
you claim its efficiency
you claim to be writing scattered word frameworks
scarecrows
that need to be stuffed
raggedy tattered bits of clothes
hanging in the wind

worldview shift in effect
glamorizing booze?  for who? for what?
acting like im retired out here on the farm
the perfect time of year out here
great sleeping weather
its just about to start turning orange and red
but im naturally inclined to chillax
priorities on the cusp of fifty
as i enter my fiftieth year
arms raised in triumph
still free, still free
improbably, still free
no boss, no woman, no addictions i cant shake
acres of words to sling
here at the word farm
get up at dawn
get my word on
all of a sudden its noon
my brains goes zoom zoom
soaring to heights and plunging to depths
ima write me some shit
and sell it out west
east coast flaovers for you crapperr
east coast flavors for your crapper
a magazine designed specifically to be left in the john
doubles as toilet paper
three pages in every issue left blannd for your shit
figurative or literal
its a magazine party ya'll

 

hillbilly sangria-  2 oz apple pie moonshine
                            4 oz chianti
                            1/2 an apple, chunked attractively
                            flavored seltzer or tonic water to taste

fill the biggest glass you have in the house with a tray of ice cubes
add ingredients
top with seltzer or tonic depending on how much lawn you have left to mow

after two of these i would not reccommend swimming, but floating in the pool with one of these is a far better afternoon than most people ever have.....
