Introspect
I figured out what was giving me these impatient, paranoid, sad reactions. Last Sunday night I figured I’d best do some thinking about what the fuck was ailing me when i spoke to my Boo last Saturday morning. The biggest thing was lack of sleep. I pulled an all-nighter, reading a 380 page journal that she’d sent me, and it got me crabby and disoriented. Added to that was a low dose of DXM I’d taken after Friday shift. DXM is one of those drugs that intensifies whatever mood you are feeling. I keep forgetting that. I also fell-off the self-satisfaction wagon for about a week, for some reason, so I was putting a lot of the re
The beginning of a memior
The first thing I remember is awakening in my crib. The room was dark except for the bathroom light that came through the doorway. I was lying on my back and watching in horror as a hundred butterflies polluted the air, and crawled along the crib rails. Even though I was afraid that they would bite me, I moved.

I believe the reluctance stems from a desire (whether conscious or not) on the part of the instructors, to remove art from the hands of the Proletariat and to keep it in the hands of the few special individuals they have dubbed "artists".
The ballpoint pen is an instrument of the commoner. It is an inexpensive

Have you ever heard the story about how BB King came to name his guitar Lucille?:
"Perhaps B.B. King's most identifiable trademark is his guitar Lucille. Lucille has been with B.B. since 1949. The story has been told many times before, but for those of you not familiar with the details, here it is ...
"Back in the late 1940's when B.B.'s career was in its infancy, one of his stops on the road was in Twist, Arkansas. It used to get quite cold in Twist in the evenings, and in order to keep the dance hall warm, kerosene was used for heat. A large barrel was placed in the center of the room and was filled about half way up with the fuel. The ke
