...and to those who purposely wish to mess up my day. Please, feel free to call me: My cell is conveniently off! Yep, I'm as unavailable as Mona Lisa's frown. And apparently, so is your good sense.Crystal morning, my head is as clear as a bell. It was a nice evening: a little lewd, crude and rude...the way I like it. Good night everyone. My Friday night is audibly mute, for once. Really, I’m literally covering my ears because of the deafeningly loud thud of a certain pin drop... Okay, I am going to say something that might shock and upset some of you: I am tuning on Big Brother, the highlight show is on in a few moments! If a lizard is following you, has it 'put a tail on you'? It's been ages since I gave a public speech to an audience that didn't solely comprise the howling dogs in the hood on a beer-washed night. Still, applause rippled through the audience. Yep, it's kick ass Friday!! A FB friend request from someone you don't know or recall that lacks a profile pic or any info to go with it....is like a word without letters. Seriously. I am wondering: Do I look dumb? Am I naive? Or do I have a declarative sign on my forehead saying: 'Vacant'? I ask because folks keep taking me for the kind of rides that are fit for an idiot. Honestly. After a bad experience, cynicism lingers like an unwanted guest. And a hearty pat on its back driving it door ward just doesn't work because you can't just shoo away pain. So you just have to take the bad with the good and keep going.... Lord Acton. He's the dude who brought you 'Power tends to corrupt, absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely' truism. Well, he has another: 'Great Men are almost always Bad Men'.
What do you think of that? I'm done with alcohol. This time, it's final. These days booze gives me more lows than highs. I shall, from today, be an unswerving teetotaler. But sorry: I can't shake my lunacy. My madness is not a habit but a condition. And that's that. Another fine mess: My hard-drinking Russian pal is back in town this evening. And this time, he won't take 'nyet' for an answer... I love Fridays for being the only days of the week which begin at the end. I'm talking Friday night...make some noise y'all! That's it! No more horrors for me until I have made absolutely sure that there is nobody hiding in the shadows underneath my bed.
The God Father: A cult classic that bred a global cultural consciousness that being a gangster was glamorous. With this movie even the virtue of blade-wielding gangs carried the force of myth. It had a unique soundtrack too that 'was a mournful trumpet theme slowly swelling with orchestration...' I gotta watch this movie, this evening. TURISTAS: This movie was scary and blood-curdling. A kind of horror that you would wish on your worst enemy. I didn't finish it because I was watching it alone. And I could have sworn that I heard the standard orchestral horror music in the room: frantic violin shrieks and an unsettling three note piano melody that made me think that Freddie and Jason were co-watching. A good attitude has a moral pulse. And it keeps you sun-drenched in a sea of night and darkness. Ain’t a preacher, a teacher or a politician...just The Man with the key to your ignition? (Funky beat in the background, Uh!) Unsolved mysteries: Remember Wile E Coyote? He would chase the road runner from one cliff to the next. Then part way across, he would realize that he was suspended in midair between two cliffs, look down and crash to the canyon floor; smashed into an accordion! Why would Coyote look down? And where did he always get t...hat little sign saying 'So Long' from? Hmmm.
If you give lip service to kicking ass, you might end up kissing ass. This phone of mine goes missing so much that I'm starting to think that it's taking its 'Mobile' name way too seriously. I wish it took its alias 'Cell' just as seriously.... so it could make like a prison and Freeze! I'm reading something on 'How the mentally ill changed the world'. It is intriguing. And makes me view my own strait jacket as the last word on fashion. Uh Huh. Saturday I must hit the party trail. Days like this I can't be sober...I prefer to be Philip! Okay, my Friday died and went to Friday hell! Someone Please uncork the happy times! In a bar, beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder---Anon (or some very drunk, super horny guy) Seriously, has Anyone actually ever seen a ghost with their naked eye? is enjoying the lullaby of a moonless, silent night. Is money equal to class? Whenever I put up a front, I feel like I have stabbed myself in the back. is home safe and sound after going up against the elements of a manic Monday. I Phil real good about myself today.
A colleague of mine just called me. This guy intrigues me. He is so unlucky in love. All the ladies he asks out seem to have a twisted Barrack Obama complex: they have the Audacity of endlessly saying...Nope! After a 3-day long weekend, its back to reality. Whoever said 'life is short' must have been high on something other than truth serum because today is gonna be a Looooong day! Chinese proverb: Before you embark on a journey of revenge, you first dig two graves. RIP the dead of 9/11. These attacks had nothing to do with religion (300 Moslems died that day). But everything to do with the evil that inhabits the human breast. In honor of the fallen, let us not get engulfed in the abysses of hate and revenge. But accept that mankind was born of love and diversity.
Okay, I'm not kidding anymore: where the heck is the party??? Yep, it's a public holiday today. So whoever has beef with me, chill it. Better yet, grill it... for today's BBQ! Religion is Not a weapon of hate but is an instrument of Love. Happy EID to All believers in God. is turning in. Good night folks. Now, where's the party at? I think I could be losing it...if I ever had it to start with! If life came with a warranty then the best things in life would come with a steep price tag. You age less when you love more. Whether by design or default...Enjoy your day folks!! I'm really trying my best to rage against the dying of the Sunday light.... What a slow day. It's going at a Dead snail's pace. I hereby baptize tonight: The A-bomb! I am officially high and happy! I stole this insult from a friend's status, Classic: He couldn't tell which way an elevator was going if he had two guesses! Attitude is destiny. But on a Friday night... altitude is destiny...Cheers!!
I've been strumming the wrong tune all day...like a musician expecting applause in the muted grounds of a cemetery! Mama told me that there would be days like this. I'm not violent. It's just that I believe in stomping my footprints on the rear of my fear. Self-knowledge is key. It's a light bulb in the darkness of doubt. And the sky that de-limits our potential. It's also the cracks in our feet of clay, however. So we need to embrace who we are, good or bad...because that gives us power. Papa Smurf said it best: He is stupid and he knows he is stupid...and that almost makes him smart!! 'I am about to---or I am going to---die: Either expression is correct'.-- Famous last words of Dominique Bouhours, Great French Grammarian. Died 1702. is reading the world's most boring book with his eyes wide shut! Psst...I'm offering free advice that might save and soothe your life. It's in three parts: 1. Don't ever play the same tune in your head as a close friend/family person. Especially if it's a rap or rock tune. 2. When someone 'jokingly' asks 'knock, knock'...answer: who's asking? (Exception: Answer 'who's there?' only i...f your name is Ida.) 3. When you have the hiccups: blow gently upon your bare chest or breast.
