MY DAY OF BIRTH, FREEDOM AND FRENCH PEOPLE.

MON NOM n'EST pas M. Le français MAIS je CELABRATING LE JOUR DE BASTILLE PARCE QUE C'EST MON ANNIVERSAIRE ET je SUIS LIBRE.

WEE, WEE, FRIENDS,
IT IS MY BIRTHDAY. THE DAY WHICH I CAME OUT OF MY MOTHER AND DECLARED MY FREEDOM!! ONLY TO BE SLAPPED ON THE BOTTOM, WHICH MADE ME CRY AND ALSO STARTED ME QUESTIONING MY SO CALLED FREEDOM. HANGING UPSIDE DOWN WITH A POINTY HEAD FROM THOSE BIG CLAMPS THEY USED TO PULL ME OUT, COVERED IN BLOOD AND HOPPED UP ON WHATEVER CRAZY DRUGS THEY HAD BEEN FEEDING MY HOST.

IT SEEMED MUCH NICER JUST FLOATING AROUND IN SPACE, BUT I GUESS THE UNIVERSE HAD OTHER PLANS.

SO THERE I WAS, 1963, IN THE HOSPITAL, A DRUGGED UP PINHEAD. I WAS CERTAINLY IN NO CONDITION TO STORM OUT OF THAT PRISON/HOSPITAL AND TAKE A STAND FOR MY FREEDOM AND FREEDOM FOR ALL THE DRUG CRAZED PINHEAD CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD. NO, I INTUITIVELY KNEW IT WAS NOT TIME FOR THAT, YET.

THERE WAS ALSO THE FACT THAT I WAS NAKED, COULD NOT WALK, AND WHEN I TRIED TO TALK, IT JUST CAME OUT ALL GOO GOO GA GA-ISH, WHICH HELPED PUT ME IN A STATE OF SURRENDER AND ACCEPTANCE

WELL MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THAT FATEFUL DAY AND AS TIME WENT ON I CAME TO REALIZE IT WAS/IS PERFECT.

THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF FAMILY LIFE AND LATER THE AMAZING AMOUNT OF BAD CHOICES, HEARTACHE, PAIN AND LOSS HAD BROUGHT ME A LITTLE THING I LIKE TO CALL WISDOM .

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS JUST POINTLESS SUFFERING TRANSFORMED INTO OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE NO REGRETS.

SO TODAY DEAR FRIENDS, LETS STORM THE PRISON OF OUR MINDS AND FREE OURSELVES FROM THE BONDAGE OF OURSELVES.

WHAT'D YA SAY!!
ARE YA WITH ME??
ARE YOU IN OR OUT??

TO BE HONEST HERE FOLKS, I'VE STORMED OTHER PRISONS OVER THE YEARS HOPING TO FIND ME, ONLY TO FIND OUT THE PRISON WAS A LIQUOR STORE OR A DRUG DEALERS HOME OR A STRIP CLUB OR A GIRL SCOUT CONVENTION (THAT WAS REALLY EMBARRASSING. IF YOU COULD HAVE SEEN THOSE LITTLE GIRLS FACES WHEN I KICKED DOWN THAT DOOR, YIPES!).

BUT THEN THE DAY CAME THAT I COULD SEE.
I SAW THE PRISON, I SAW THE DOOR, I SAW ME.

I YELLED, "HEY ME, I AM COMING TO GET YOU!!"

AND WHEN I GOT TO THE PRISON DOOR IT WAS UNLOCKED AND THE CELL DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN AND THERE WAS NO ONE HERE TO FIGHT...HUMMM. I ACTUALLY SAID "WHAT THE F---!!" AND "SHIT!!!" BUT THOSE SWEAR WORDS CAME FROM MY IMMEDIATE SHOCK/REVELATION THAT I NEVER KNEW.

"WELL THAT WAS WORTH 44 YEARS OF WAITING.” , I SAID IN A SEMI-SARCASTIC TONE. THEN I LOOKED AT ME ALL SCARED AND SHIVERING REACHING OUT TO ME , SAYING:

HELP ME!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HURRY!!!

AT FIRST I WAS A LITTLE ANGRY AND FELT LIKE SAYING, “DAMN IT ME! THE PLACE IS EMPTY, THERE’S NOTHING KEEPING YOU HERE BUT YOU!! LOOK THE G.D. DOOR IS WIDE OPEN!!! FOR CATS SAKE!!”

BUT I STOPPED MYSELF. I TOOK A BREATH AND SAID, "COME ON OUT, I WILL GET YOU OUT OF HERE, YOU DON’T NEED TO BE SCARED ANYMORE."

ME SMILED AND FINALLY STOOD UP AND WALKED OUT A FREE MAN AND I KNEW THAT IT WAS GOOD, AND VERY GOOD.

LET’S ALL HAVE A MASSIVE PRISON BREAK TODAY!!
LET’S CELEBRATE MY/YOUR BIRTHDAY!!
LET’S MAKE A CAKE!!
LET US EAT THE FREEDOM FRIES OF LIFE!!
LET’S CELEBRATE FREEDOM TODAY.

LAISSER L'ANNEAU DE LIBERTE! ! !

LIBERER, LA PALOURDE.

Folks, when you say "MY LIFE SUCKS" to LIFE, Life just shrugs its shoulders and says "OK, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, YOU GOT IT!"

LIFE JUST WANTS TO HELP YOU .

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A SUCKY LIFE, LIFE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR YOU.
NO PROBLEM.

LIFE'S NOT SO INTO SUCKY, BUT LIFE IS TOTALLY INTO FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

IF YOU WANT A REALLY FUN, SUCCESSFUL, HAPPY SNAPPY LIFE,
LIFE WOULD BE GLAD TO HELP YOU.

(LIFE IS ACTUALLY WAY MORE INTO THAT STUFF ANYWAY. IT'S KIND OF ITS ,"THING".)

BUT EITHER WAY, IT'S NO SKIN OFF LIFE'S ASS.

LIFE IS WAITING FOR YOU TO DECIDE.
LIFE CAN'T HURT YOU, IT CAN ONLY HELP YOU .

HELLO! THAT'S ITS NATURE.

SO IF YOU CHOOSE AN ANGRY, SAD, SCARED, BROKE, HOPELESS EXISTENCE,
LIFE HAS NO CHOOSE BUT TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE THAT GOAL.

BUT WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, YOU GOT TO STICK WITH IT AND BELIEVE!

MAKE A COMMITMENT.

LIFE IS JUST WAITING, TAPPING ITS FOOT, LOOKING AT YOU, ASKING:
"WELL MY CHILD, WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

DON'T GET ALL CRAZY AND START ASKING A LOT OF QUESTIONS BACK, LIKE:
"WHEN?" and "WHERE?" and "HOW MUCH?" and "WHAT'S IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE?"

CAUSE THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX.

JUST SAY a GOOD LIFE or A NOT-SO-GOOD LIFE.
WHICHEVER YOU'RE MOST COMFORTABLE WITH.

AND LIFE WILL JUST POINT TO WHICH LINE YOU SHOULD GO STAND IN.

DON'T GET ALL HEADY WITH LIFE,
CAUSE LIFE WILL JUST LOOK AT YOU AND YELL "NEXT!!"
AND TELL YOU, "GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT IT SOME MORE."

AND THE THINK, THINK, THINKING ABOUT IT , IS NOT SO GREAT.
IT'S PAINFUL, CONFUSING, AND WASTES A LOT OF ENERGY.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

LIFE IS GOOD, and YOU GET TO DECIDE IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE INTO.
OR NOT.

I WOULD SAY "CHOOSE THE GOOD LIFE"—
BUT THAT'S JUST ME.
AND I AM NOT YOU.

I'LL JUST SAY I HAVE TRIED BOTH, AND FOUND GOOD TO BE LIKE A ZILLION TIMES BETTER.
I'M JUST SAYING.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
I KNOW IT HAS HELPED ME.
I LOVE.

STICK AROUND.

DEAREST FRIENDS,
I MUST TELL YOU, I HAVE NOT BEEN FEELING "IT" OF LATE.

NOW WHEN I SAY, IT, I MEAN A REAL CONNECTION TO LIFE.
THE FEELING TONE,THE VIBRATION,THE ENERGY.

I FEEL LIKE A BRANCH , CUT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE, JUST LAYING THERE LIKE SOME KIND OF SAD, LITTLE, PARALYZED STICK.
LOOKING UP AT THE TREE
SAYING:
"WHAT THE F ! , HOW IN THE, H. E. DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK DID THAT HAPPEN!"

JUST LAYING THERE ON THE COLD,COLD GROUND, THINKING "GREAT,NOW WHAT?"
AS THE HOT SUN, DRYS ME UP, NO WATER, NO NUTRIENTS COMING IN OR GOING OUT ,UN ROOTED , UNABLE TO GROW LEAFS AND MAKE FRAGRANT FLOWERS
OR DELICIOUS FRUIT, FOR THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO EAT.

JUST A DUMB STICK ,CONTEMPLATING THE POINTLESSNESS OF IT ALL, WAITING FOR SOME OLD KOOT TO COME BY AND CUT OFF MY DRIED UP LEAVES WITH HIS RUSTY OL'POCKET KNIFE,
SAYING:

"WELL LOO' KY HERE!!, I GOT ME A FANCY NEW WALK'N STICK"

G.D. , HILLBILLY'S!!

YA KNOW WHAT, IF THAT HAPPENS, I JUST MIGHT TAKE WHAT LITTLE STRENGTH I HAVE LEFT IN ME AND JUST MAKE MYSELF BREAK, SENDING THAT OL ' GEEZER TUMBLING DOWN A HILL AND THEN HE WILL PROBABLY DROP HIS MASON JAR OF MOONSHINE , WHICH, WILL HOPEFULLY GET HIM SO TICKED OFF AT ME, HE'LL THROW ME IN A FIRE AND THEN I CAN RISE UP OUT OF THE ASHES....LIKE A PHOENIX!!

THAT MY FRIENDS, IN MOST PROBABILITY, WON'T HAPPEN.
BECAUSE I DON'T EVEN LIVE NEAR ANY HILLBILLY'S, PLUS
I AM NOT ACTUAL DISCONNECTED FROM LIFE , THAT'S JUST A FEELING. I AM HAVING.
AND FEELINGS AIN'T FACTS.
FACTS IS FACTS!
AND THE FACT IS I AM ALWAYS CONNECTED TO LIFE AND ALSO , NEWS FLASH !! ,
SO ARE YOU.

WE'RE ALL JUST WHIRLING BALLS OF ENERGY, SPINNING SO FAST THAT WE THINK WERE ALL SOLID AND CRAP.
BUT WERE NOT.
WE ARE JUST ENERGY AND VIBRATIONS, WHIRLING AROUND LIKE CRAZY ELECTRIC BALLS.

THE PROBLEM IS SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE OUR BALLS ARE WHIRLING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
AND WE FEEL BAD.

DEAR FRIENDS, I HOPE I AM NOT BEING TO "WE ARE THIS AND WE ARE THAT" FOR YOU.
BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TALKING AT YOU, NOT TO YOU.

JUST TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, THAT'S WHAT I SAY.

BECAUSE THERE'S ONE THING FOR CERTAIN AND THAT IS, WE ARE ALL BLESSED WITH A LITTLE SOMETHING I LIKE TO CALL, CHOICE.
A CHOICE TO BELIEVE OR NOT.

CHOICE IS A BLESSING AND SOMETIMES A CURSE....HEY!!, IT'S A BLURSE!!

ANYWAYS, BACK TO MY BALLS.

THEY WE'RE SPINNING IN A GOOD WAY THIS MORNING AND I FELT A CONNECTION TO OTHERS AND LOVE SEEMED TO BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENED.
AND THAT SOMETHING WAS THIS.

I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND A YOUNG MAN CAME UP TO ME AND SAID:

" YO !! YOU GOT SOME MONEY FOR ME ? OR DO ME AND MY NIGGER'S NEED TO TAKE IT FROM YA"

TO WHICH I SAID:
"FIRST OFF MY FRIEND, THE ONLY MONEY I HAVE , IS IN MY MIND AND IT HAS YET TO MANIFEST ON THE PHYSICAL REALM BUT WHEN IT DOES , I WILL GLADLY SHARE SOME OF IT WITH YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS .

"SECOND OFF, I JUST WANT TO INFORM YOU THAT IF THOSE ARE INDEED "YOUR" NIGGER'S ,THEN, I AM PRETTY SURE YOUR BREAKING A LAW IN WHICH MANY PEOPLE DIED TO MAKE HAPPEN AND I SUGGEST YOU SET THIS FINE GENTLEMEN FREE BEFORE THE AUTHORITY'S FIND OUT WHAT YOUR UP TO".

THIS SEEMED TO ENRAGE THE YOUNG CHAP AND HE PICKED UP A STICK AND BROKE IT OVER MY HEAD.

HEY, WOULDN'T THAT HAVE BEEN COOL IF THE STICK THEN TUNED INTO A PHOENIX!

ANYWAY, A POLICE OFFICER CAME AROUND THE CORNER AND THE YOUNG MEN SKEDADDLED.
I DIDN'T MENTION THE WHOLE SLAVERY ISSUE TO HIM .
HE JUST ASKED ME IF I WAS OK AND I TOLD HIM I WAS FINE, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT MY BALLS WERE SPINNING IN A NEGATIVE DIRECTION, AFTER MY UNPLEASANT, EXCHANGE WITH THOSE POOR MISGUIDED FELLA'S AND THE FACT THAT MY HEAD SEEMED TO BE BLEEDING.

HE JUST STARED AT ME IN WHAT I INTERPRETED AS CONTEMPLATION, SO I EXPLAINED MY THOUGHTS
ABOUT ENERGY AND SPINNING AND BALLS AND CHOICE AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF I WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT EARLIER.

THE NEXT THING I KNOW , I AM IN AN AMBULANCE, WHICH WAS PRETTY EXCITING,
WITH THE SIREN AND HORN'S AND STUFF .

WHEN WE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL,THEY PUT ME IN A ROOM FOR AWHILE AND ASKED ME A LOT OF QUESTION , WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MY INJURY BUT MORE TO DO WITH MY THOUGHTS AND THEORIES.
THEY EVEN INVITED ME TO STAY IN A QUITE ROOM, IN A SPECIAL PART OF THE HOSPITAL BUT I POLITELY REFUSED , SO THEY JUST BANDAGED MY HEAD
AND SENT ME ON MY WAY.

WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED WRITING THIS AND AS I SAID, I FELT VERY DISCONNECTED FROM LIFE.

I JUST WANTED TO CONNECT WITH YOU AND SHARE MY STORY AND GUESS WHAT?
IT WORKED!!
I AM.
YOU ARE.
WE ARE.
I AM CONNECTED AGAIN... WELL AT LEAST WITH THE TWO OR THREE OF YOU, THAT ARE READING THIS.
I THANK YOU(S)

STICK WITH IT FRIENDS!
MAKE GOOD CHOICES.
YOURS,CLAM

CAN WE JUST GET A SONG ?

HELLO DEAR FRIENDS,
HEY, WHAT IF, NOW HEAR ME OUT.
WHAT IF , WE JUST SING A SONG?

EVEN IF WERE FEELING CRAPPY, HOPELESS AND OVERWHELMED WITH LIFE AND OUR HOPELESS EXISTENCE, WITH ITS SEEMING POINTLESSNESS.
FILLED WITH EXERCISE AFTER EXERCISE IN FAILURE , AS WE ALL JUST DIE A LITTLE MORE EVERYDAY.

CAPTAIN CRUNCH!!

I WAS FEELING PRETTY GOOD , UNTIL I JUST MADE THOSE WORDS COME OUT.

ANY POOP,

LET'S NOT MAKE OUR SONG ABOUT THAT STUFF, BECAUSE THAT SONG WOULD JUST BE CRAPPY AND ADD MORE CRAPPIE'S TO THE WORLD.

GOD FORBID WE GOT THAT TYPE OF SONG STUCK IN OUR HEAD, OH MY !
AND THEN YOU STARTED WEARING A BLACK CAPE AND MASK AND WANDERING THE STREETS LATE AT NIGHT, WHISTLING YOUR DARK SONG OF DEATH AND MISERY.

THAT WOULD BE BAD.

AND ,YOU WOULD BE TOTALLY TIRED THE NEXT DAY AT WORK.

FRIENDS, WHILE WE'RE AT IT, LET'S NOT SING ABOUT SHOOTING PEOPLE AND BEING MEAN TO PEOPLE OR TAKING DRUGS AND SAYING BAD WORDS AND HOW RICH WE ARE, WITH THE GOLD THIS AND THE SILVER THAT, JUST TO TRY TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW TOUGH AND COOL WE ARE .

ALSO, LET'S NOT USE SAD, HOPELESS WORD, ABOUT BROKEN HEARTS OR LOST LOVES OR SEX WITH STRANGERS OR REVENGE !!

THERE ARE PLENTY OF THOSE SONG ALREADY AND THEY JUST ATTRACT MORE OF THE SAME.

ANYWAY,THESE ARE ALL JUST SONGS ABOUT FEAR , SURROUNDED BY ALLOT OF OTHER WORDS.

BUT HEY ,WHO AM I TO JUDGE?
JUDGE NOT , IS WHAT I SAY.

SO, SING ON, MY FEARFUL FRIENDS!!

JUST KEEP ON SINGING YOUR DARK GOTHIC, BROKEN HEARTED ,FEARFUL, GANSTA RAP -A -DIDDYS.

BUT HEY, DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU FIND YOURSELF SURROUNDED BY MORBID TEENAGERS, DRESSED IN BLACK WITH LOTS OF MAKE UP AND BIG GOLD CHAINS AND SILVER TEETH, CARRYING GUNS AND SELLING DRUGS AND SAYING SWEAR WORDS AT LADY'S AND HAVING SEX WITH STRANGERS.

SORRY,THAT WAS KINDA JUDGE-EE OF ME AND ANYWAY, WHO AM I TO THINK THESE FOLKS WOULD ALL BLAME ME ? THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.
I BEARLY KNOW ME AND I'VE BEEN WITH ME ALONG TIME.

OK ,THAT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY FOLKS, BUT LET'S GET BACK TO OUR HAPPY SONG.

AND IF YOU THINK A HAPPY SONG IS DUMB OR STUPID, OR TO TOUCHY ,FEEL-EE,
THEN DEAR FRIEND , PERHAPS YOU HAVE AN OUCH IN YOUR HEART.
BUT HEY , MAYBE OUR, HAPPY SONG COULD BE LIKE A LITTLE BAND AID FOR YOUR HEART SPACE ?

I DON'T KNOW?
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING REALLY.
I AM MUCH LIKE AN EMPTY GLASS.
AN EMPTY GLASS WITH NO ARMS , WHICH IS GOOD, BECAUSE I MIGHT BE TEMPED TO THROW STONES AT OTHER GLASSES WHO ARE FULL OF THEMSELVES.
KNOW IT ALL GLASSES ,TELLING ALL US OTHER GLASSES HOW TO LIVE.
AND THAT WOULD BE JUST WRONG AND JUDGEMENTAL, WHICH IVE ALREADY TOLD YOU, I DON'T WANT TO BE.

MAN , I CAN'T SEEM TO SHUT MY FINGERS UP ,THEY JUST SEEM TO GO ON AND ON ABOUT WHATEVER?

ANY HOOT,
HAPPY SONG !
YES!
THAT'S WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT FOLKS!!
LETS MAKE OUR HAPPY SONG.
NOW JUST FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES, WHAT IF WE MADE OUR HAPPY SONG SO HAPPY ,THAT PERHAPS IT MIGHT LAST THE WHOLE DAY LONG.
NOW FRIENDS, LET'S NOT CARE IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE ELSE TO HEAR ,THAT'S NOT WHAT'S IMPORTANT HERE.

IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT WE JUST SING ,SING OUR SONG!!
OK.
WELL, I PERSONALLY HAVE TO GO TO BED RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I HAVE A COURT DATE IN THE MORNING..DON'T ASK.

BUT WHILE I AM WAITING FOR MY HEARING, I AM GOING TO START MAKING MY LIST OF HAPPY WORDS.
AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE YOU COULD DO THE SAME AND WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH A REAL DIDDLY!

HECK, MAYBE WE CAN GET THE WHOLE WORLD TO SING IT!
YOW SA!

WELL, MAYBE NOT THE WHOLE WORLD BUT AT LEAST A COUPLE OF PEOPLE.

GET OUT YOUR CRAYONS AND START THAT LIST!
WRIGHT ON !
LOVE,
CLAM

COMMUNICATION BREAKTHROUGH.

COMMUNICATION ,OR AS I LIKE TO CALL IT, kəˌmyoōnəˈkā sh ən, IS AN IMPORTANT WAY OF TELLING PEOPLE STUFF.

WITH OUT THIS KEY COMPONENT TO LIVING IN A WORLD WHERE THERE ARE ALSO OTHER PEOPLE LIVING, IT'S HARD TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING OR FEELING.

NOW COMMUNICATION CAN COME IN MANY FORMS, THE MOST COMMON BEING WORDS. BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO COMMUNICATE, LIKE:
INTERPRETIVE DANCE.
THE MIME TECHNIQUE.
SILENT SCORN.
FACIAL MOVEMENTS AND HAND PUPPETS!

THE TRICK IS TO FIND WHICH FORM IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE SITUATION YOU’RE IN. AS AN EXAMPLE:

INTERPRETIVE DANCE OR EVEN MIMING,USUALLY DOESN'T GO OVER BIG IN ASKING YOUR BOSS FOR A RAISE OR A DAY OFF , NOR DOES EITHER OF THESE FORMS WORK WELL WHEN ASKING A DYNAMITE LADY OUT ON A DATE OR NEGOTIATING WITH THE POLICE OR THE PEOPLE THAT RUN THE PLACE THEY PUT YOU IN WHEN YOUR MIND GOES FUNNY AND YOU’RE LOCKED IN THE QUIET TIME ROOM.

FRIENDS THESE ARE NOT SPECULATIONS!
I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE.

AND SPEAKING OF SPEAKING, I FIND SPEAKING TO BE THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAY OF COMMUNICATING.
SPEAKING WORDS, I'M TALKING , REAL WORDS HERE FOLKS, NOT MADE UP WORDS, IN A LANGUAGE THAT ONLY YOU UNDERSTAND LIKE "BEEP BOOP, BEEP, MEEP, MOOP" WHICH MEANS "I AM LONELY AND COLD". TRUST ME THIS DOES NOT WORK.
NO DEAR FRIENDS I AM TALKING REAL WORD, WORDS.

ALSO ESSENTIAL IN THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS, IS SAYING WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN/FEEL .
IT IS OFTEN HARD TO SAY WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL AND OFTEN IT'S JUST FEAR THAT MAKES OUR WORDS COME OUT WRONG.
FEAR OF REJECTION.
FEAR OF CONFRONTATION.
FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED AS WEAK OR TO SENSITIVE.
FEAR OF BEING PERCEIVED AS A KNOW IT ALL OR A RETARD.

(MY APOLOGIES TO MY RETARDED READERS BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW RETARDS AND DOLPHINS ARE TOTALLY COOL AND I PERSONALLY THINK THEY'RE GOD’S SPIES ..BUT THAT'S A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER TIME.)

BACK TO FEAR.
THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM IT'S SCARY!

BUT WE MUST COMMUNICATE HONESTLY AND FACE OUR FEARS IF WE ARE TO BE HAPPY AND FREE OF SHAME ,REMORSE, ANGER, RESENTMENT OR SUPER EMBARRASSING, EXPLOSIVE, INAPPROPRIATE OUTBURSTS!!

LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO DO.

LAST WEEK I WENT INTO MY LOCAL COFFEE SHOP AND THERE IS A GAL WHO WORKS THERE AND SHE SEEMS TO LIKE ME AND FOLKS TO BE HONEST, I AM A BIT SMITTEN WITH HER AS WELL.
SO I DECIDED TODAY WOULD BE THE DAY I ASKED HER IF SHE MIGHT LIKE TO GO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE SOMETIME. WHICH SEEMED PERFECT, SINCE SHE SEEMED TO BE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THE WHOLE, COFFEE LIFESTYLE.
SIMPLE ENOUGH?

WELL, WHEN IT CAME TIME TO ASK HER OUT, TO COMMUNICATE MY FEELING HONESTLY AND FEARLESSLY, I INSTEAD FOUND MYSELF SAYING:

"HEY YOU KNOW WHAT’S FUNNY? I KEEP THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING MY FRIEND TOLD ME? HE SAID, IF YOU SIT ON YOUR HAND UNTIL IT FALLS ASLEEP AND THEN YOU TAKE THAT ASLEEP HAND AND TOUCH YOURSELF IN VARIOUS PLACE ON YOUR BODY, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS TOUCHING YOU." I THINK I ALSO ADDED A PHYSICAL COMMUNICATION, IN THE FORM OF A WINK.

SHE JUST STARED AT ME LIKE I WAS USING MY MADE UP LANGUAGE,THAT I SPOKE OF EARLIER AND JUST WENT BACK TO HER WORK.

THE SHAME.

ALL I AM SAYING, IS WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNICATION, SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY, AND DON'T SAY IT MEAN.
DON'T FEAR, FEAR.
SAY IT, PROUD AND SAY IT LOUD!
NOT TOO LOUD.
I HOPE THAT I HAVE HELPED YOU.
I KNOW YOU HAVE HELPED ME.
KEEP ON TALKIN’

FEEL THE LOVE.

DEAREST READER,
HELP ME.
HHHHELP ME, I THINK I'M FALLING, IN LOVE AGAIN.
YES FRIENDS, I AM FALLING IN LOVE.
I AM IN LOVE, WITH LOVE.
HELP ME KEEP IT UP !!
HELP ME KEEP THIS POWERFUL, SENSATIONAL, SENSATION GOING.
BREATHING LOVE IN AND BREATHING LOVE OUT, IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT .
WHISPER WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT IN MY EAR.
TELL ME HOW GOOD LOVE IS.
LOVE THAT I LOVE , LOVE.
PUT MY LOVE INSIDE YOU.
NOW, I GOT YOU SMILING,BECAUSE GUESS WHAT?
YOU'VE JUST BEEN BITTEN BY THE LOVE BUG AND WE'RE GOING TO RIDE THIS LOVE BUGGY TILL ITS LEGS FALL OFF!

NOW FRIEND , I AM, IN MOST LIKELIHOOD NOT YE NEIGHBOR BUT COULD YOU LOVE THEE ANY WAY?

OH, JUST STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND LOVE ME UNTIL YOU CAN LOVE YOURSELF , OR ELSE YOUR GOING TO BE STANDING AT THE STATION YELLING
"KERMIT ON A STICK !!" AS YOU WATCH THE LOVE TRAIN CHUG-A-LUG'N AWAY AND YOUR NOT ON IT.

OH GOOD PEOPLE , I AM SORRY, TO WHIP OUT THE OL'TOUGH LOVE ON YA ...STRIKE THAT !!
BECAUSE, LOVE IS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOUR SORRY.

LOVE IS MANY THINGS,
LOVE IS...OH I DON'T KNOW, YOU FILL IN THE BLANKS,
MAYBE IT'S A Q TIP DEEP IN YOUR EAR?
MAYBE A PINT OF ICE/JOY CREAM?
PRECIOUS MOMENTS?
MAYBE IT'S A VIBRATION OR A SENSATION FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION?
MAYBE IT SURPASSES ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING?

MAYBE IT'S A MOTHERS LAUGHTER?
NOT SARCASTIC LAUGHTER OR LAUGHING AT YOU, AT YOUR SO CALLED , CRAZY HOPES AND DREAMS OF MAKING A LIVING AT HELPING PEOPLE WHEN YOU CANT EVEN HELP YOURSELF OR EVEN HOLD A REAL JOB DOWN FOR MORE THEN A WEEK!!!!

WHATEVER!

WHERE WERE WE ?
AH YES, LOVE.
WHAT DOES LOVE ASK FOR IN RETURN?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT IT'S FREE!
AND WITH THE PRICE OF GAS AND FOOD AND CIGARETTES THESE DAYS,
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SWEET DEAL!

FOLKS, I HOPE I AM NOT LOSING YOU HERE BUT IF I AM, THAT'S OK.
BECAUSE, IT'S BETTER TO HAVE LOVED PEOPLE ( PEOPLE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW OR HAVE NEVER SEEN OR TALKED TOO OR PERHAPS, ARE NOT EVEN READING THIS ,WHICH IS KINDA IMPOSABLE IF YOU JUST READ THAT.)
THEN TO NEVER LOVED AT ALL.

GOSH, NOW I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP I JUST WANT TO KEEP ON LOVING YOU/ME.
BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE DOWN IN THE CITY AND I AM TIRED.
SO I MUST RETIRE FOR THE EVENING AND DREAM MY DREAMS OF LOVE WITH THE ONE I'M WITH (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE MYSELF)

GOODNIGHT DREAM LOVERS,
YOURS,CLAM
