Friday used to be a day where I'd write some new anecdotes and then a bunch of cool folks would gather to joke, add witticisms, talk shit, and wind down from the long week. That hasn't been the case recently due to the following:
1. I've been working on a longer piece and I need to focus what little discipline I have left on that. Plus I've had these headaches for nine weeks and you're tired of hearing my reports of imminent death, particularly where I blame the west nile or a piece of uncooked pork I ate three months ago. I'm going to see a specialist Tuesday and in the meantime I've been watching the NBA and popping Ultrams like it's my job (gee sorry for the incoherancy, and mayo i promise i'll email you back this weekend).
2. Gorbie decided he hated us and NT really is missing his humor, sarcasm, and recommendations.
3. I realized that at 31 I didn't want to read any more weekly recaps that began, "you missed kingjulien fighting with ________ (although I see uberdesigner has a new boyfriend and perhaps he's dealing with other issues today. btw, did that guy really use Erik Dickerson's gerrycurl on his profile image or is that just me?)
-------------------------------
Anyway, the point of this is that I have a new story over at http://www.slippymagazine.comIt's called "Exits" and it's an experiment for me. I wrote three separate mini-narratives and tried to link them under the idea of people crossing paths, or coming and going from our lives--the little people whose experiences tend to stick with us unexplainably. I think the story is interesting, funny, disturbing, and strange, but I'd be curious to hear your opinions and criticisms. I was supposed to have this awesome photographer http:www.brianmilo.com do some pictures for the story, but last night at the deadline I got an email from him asking for additional time, and well, at the last minute I had to use a self-portrait from the Harrah's bathroom in Tahoe, just after my ex-gf won two grand.
I also wanted to take a minute to compliment mattyd. The Teddy Brushi and Bono designs on the slippy site are fucking beautiful, and it's clear what a talent and a cool muthafucker he is. I wish, in hindsight, that I had asked him to do a design for my piece. I'm sure it would have been sweet.
Anyway, I hope everybody has a fun and productive weekend.

but whatever. it's not a big deal.

dude, i could care less who garretwest is. if people take one rambling paragraph i made as the gospel than some folks need to get out more. at the same time, if you're not him, then you know who he is, and well, sometimes playing internet games can be kind of silly.
- JazX0
yes please!
- todelete__20
i could care less either who she/he is and i don't know for sure who it is. i can only assume. and being only an asusmption i'd never call anyone out without knowing positively.
when someone of your caliber makes a bold statement like that people listen.
have a good weekend either way.
always like your read.

btw, tara your email is still rejecting things like dikembe mutombo in his prime.

By the way, I'd like to address a few more points before I log off for the evening.
1. I would recommend NEVER shaving your nads on any kind of hydrocodone product. There are just too many things that potentially could go wrong.
2. There is absolutely no truth to the rumors that Salisae and I have split. I realize she has been spotted flirting with son recently, and that does concern me, but we're working through it, contrary to what the inquirer reports. Yes, sometimes she does leave her ring inside the supermarket bubble container that it came in when she goes out, like to her sister's birthday, but that's just to keep it safe. I would appreciate in this time of speculation that you would refrain from commenting to her about these matters. She's a sweetie pie and she doesn't deserve the constant media piranhas who prey on her every move. Thank you.

DO you expect me to read all that rambling shit you are talking about.
NO. Good Night!

KJ...you ROCK. Can I publish you?

i'm looking forward to the new writing.
the concept reminds me of "ghostwritten" by david mitchell.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obido…...in which nine mini-stories that had characters crossing paths within unrelated stories.
related is a gladiator movie i saw years and years ago in which there was a scene where two romans were talking and the streets were filled with boisterous people. when one inquired as to the reason for the crowds he was informed that they were going to execute the one that claimed to be the messiah.
just a little side note that had no bearing on the rest of the story.
for the record, i love shit like that.

I thought this thread would have a reliable pharmy hook-up...
I'll C my way out.

Thanks, Blaw. That's just the kind of insight I was looking for. I'll check out that book--it sure seems intriguing.
btw folks, there's a What's Happening marathon on TV land. Roger, Dwayne falling off the skateboard in the introduction, Rerun dancing at the Doobie Brothers concert, Big Shirley, Dee talking shit to everybody. The stars must be aligned this morning (why else would that cement truck have woken me up at 8:00 am?)
ps. for sure Pocho.
