About Me

So there, I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopkeeper and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really, but sure enough I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.
Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you look around", you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come

I look so strong when the weight of all the world don't take it's toll.

Chapter 35: Cats And Dogs/Bukowski And Kubrick

It poured yesterday. All day. The only let up was for maybe a few half hours of light drizzle, but between the rain and the 75 degree weather, there wasn't much you can do. I stayed in the hotel prett...

Chapter 34: All That Jazz

I've been getting so much rest since I've been in this hotel. It has been quite nice. I did my same routine. Ate at the food court, hung out, and ate at Friday's. Then I got dressed to go back to that...

Chapter 29.5: Desolate Disappointment

So I moved into a hotel because I couldn't stand to live with Taylor any longer. She is so inconsiderate and self involved that I couldn't stand to be around her anymore. Finally, my vacation can begi...
