Immortal Underwear

If I were wealthy I would wear a brand new pair of socks every day.

Everything in California is new.

There is nothing better than an old pair of underwear.

Old Like Philadelphia.

Immortal underwear full of magic and truth.

Like an old friend.

The best thing about old friends is they remind you of things about yourself.

Things that can not be washed down the drain.

The best thing about old friends is you can sit in a room with them and not have to say anything.

Not like this poem,

Bite Marks In The Soap.

Every time I open a brand new bar of soap out of the little cardboard box it reminds me of something. I hold it to my nose and inhale deeply. There is something about the soap, a promise. It looks so good. I want to bite into the soap even though I know what will happen. The mind is powerful and can lock away things for a very long time until you open a brand new box of soap.

Dialogue

"Why is my three year old son playing with a Barbie Doll?"

"All kids play with Barbies."

"Boys don't play with Barbie Dolls."

"You probably played with dolls as a kid."

"I played with G.I. Joes and guns."

"What are you getting so defensive about?"

"I'm not getting defensive."

"Are you worried that if your son plays with a Barbie doll he is going to turn out gay? Is that what you're worried about?"

"I'm just saying boys should be playing with trucks and guns."

"You're such a homophobe."… Continue

i hate women

i know this woman who has two of the ugliest kids i have ever seen, they are little mongoloids. sometimes she will post pictures of them on facebook. women will leave comments using words like cute and adorable. there is nothing cute or adorable about these kids. it's only the women that leave these fake comments. why do women always have to be so phony?

Stepped In Shit

Brian decided to skip the shower in the morning and sleep in for twenty more minutes. He counted off each one in his head and was more tired than ever when the alarm went off again. On the way to work he wanted to drive his sensible vehicle with the 14inch rims into oncoming traffic so he could maybe get some sleep in a hospital bed or a morgue. When he got to work he walked down the halls carrying a machete but nobody felt threatened by him in the least, even when he posted a note on his office… Continue

About Me:
Was raised by wolves until the white man found me. Then I lived in the basement of the science building but the radio reception wasn't very good. Later I bought several Coltrane albums at a garage sale. I put an ad in the newspaper that said, "roommate wanted with record player."

Re: your comment on "The Five" - I love how you took exactly the right thing from each of the personalities to create their faults. You are something else...in a good way. :)

Thanks Jay!

A couple of people in my last post 13 Stitches, had several works that was difficult choosing a favorite from - you were one of them.

I had a dream about you last night. I know. Weird right? Well, I’d read Bitten right before going to bed.

We lived, side by side, in some sort of odd rooftop or penthouse type of deal. You just across some sort of strange lattice divide. I could see into your place. I envied your set up. You liked to sunbath naked on your roof, but kept on your socks. I hid under a crochet blanket and stole peeks at you through the holes. Then I found out some talk show host set you up with a whole whack of new shit. Like kitchen appliances and a new washing machine and so I went over to your place with a basket of dirty clothes. Naked.

So there you go. Normally I don't remember my dreams, but I did this morning so I figured I'd share.

I did it. It was easy - who knew. I guess everybody but me.

Hey Jay,
Thanks - I didn't think I could really pull off sci-fi horror, but it was fun to write.

The Big Lebowski is very possibly the most underrated piece of cinematic eye-gasm ever.

I dig you, man. And, I had no idea you are on the TNA site, as well. Pretty nifty. I'm Perpetualite on TNA.

I appreciate the post comment, good man. Has anyone ever told you you look just like Jeff Lebowski? You ever where Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses while drinking? And when I say drinking, I mean White Russians, specifically?

Because you said it would be better...

I love the half deflated basketball. Another thing I like is how you addressed the three girls as guys. Yeeaaaah, I don’t have any money. Sorry, guys.” I mean, everybody needs a pair of homemade oven mitts. Another great one. -Jay
