I'm wondering why was I watching the VMAs? Do I care anymore? Who are these people? When did Michael Jackson die?
 
Guess I forgot.
 
I guess Kayne West isn't gonna be dating Taylor Swift. Nigga Puhleez! He did something I never thought anyone could do and that's make me feel sorry for her. Then I started wondering; Biggie, Tupac, Freaky Tah, Jam Master Jay, there sure has been a lull in rapper shootings lately.
 
It's not that I'm too old and don't get the new music, I do like a lot of new music, just none of the acts I saw on the VMAs. And really, I only watch music videos online and only use MTV to watch the greatest TV series since "Star Trek" and that boys and girls is "The Hills!"
 
Listen to this and forget who it is for a moment, just listen and try and tell me this isn't awesome!
 

 
I've decided I'm buying her CD, or at least downloading off iTunes, just for this. It really moved me and I thought of you when she sang it.

...cinematic nightmare, when I was younger.
 
I got my brother to watch this last night and he totally dug it. He never really knew anything about Mario Bava and when he saw my giant and heavy Tim Lucas book, "Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark" he wondered what all the fuss was about, why would someone like Lucas spend all those years writing about Mario Bava?
 
So I found my favorite short piece of Bava's work online to show my brother and my other friends why his work is so important to me. I tell everyone to wait until after sundown to watch this short film. It's even better at about 2AM when you've had a few hits of NyQuil.
 
It's short. It's in two parts. It say's part two, but it really is the start without the titles, credits and intro, so watch this:
 

 
Then watch this part 3 and end of the short film:
 

 
...and tell me if this isn't the single scariest film you've ever seen. It's dubbed in English, because it was Italian, but there's no gore or anything, just story, mood, sound effects, and lighting. Very theatrical, but I know you'll dig it and may even pull the blanket up close to your face, if not over your head. I think you'll like it!
 
When my brother emailed me today, he was so compelled by Mario Bava's work to write a poem and when you see, "The Drop of Water," just a small part of his film, "Black Sabbath," you'll understand:
 
Mirrors, candles
shadows, flies,
purple drapes
the deadened eyes
theft of jewelry
thus ensued
and the culprit
sure got screwed

...parts about my looks I don't like, but memories, people that did me wrong, people I did wrong, embarrassing things, the time I sneaked into a movie theatre and got caught, the time I was making out with a girl, we were in the nude and suddenly her dad was standing over us, the times I've vomited in public, the times my pants have ripped in public, speaking in public, being in public, the public...

..."No! I mean you have a Fever!"

 Burning up! Sweaty. Shakey. Dizzy.

 I feel like there are wildfires in my head. I look into the mirror and I don't see myself. I smell burning rubber. My new cool glasses are melting on my face. I feel I'm becoming a zombie. Images Swirl and Pulsate in Mind. I'm Woozy and Delirious. I need You to be kind. I'm Feverish and Hallucinating, Sad and in Bed, Smart Water by my side, Electrical Storms in my Head, Everything is Spinning, I am reaching out to You... Cheer Me up soon, before I am dead...

...that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...
Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great loves will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd be forever
But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
And the world you can't live without
And I knew the silence of the world

...Glasses, I bought them online for about $15. I can't believe how great they are!
 
I looked everywhere for these frames and no doctor or eyewear place could get them for me. These are made with my prescription and for so cheap and they are AWESOME!!! I'm ordering more tonight just to have extras! I got them in a week and a half!
 
Just don't get my style, get your own style! Don't be a copycat!

I know it's just glasses, but I'm so excited, because I used to have these kind of frames way back in Texas, I loved them, I loved the look, and never could find that style again even in LA.
 
It was like Xmas today when they came in the mail!
 
Also, in the mail was a Government check, I opened it up and it was for $450 and I didn't know what it was for... Did I get some sort of refund, some tax thing finally come through? No. I looked and it turned out it was a disability check for my crazy neighbor and the Postman put it in the wrong mailbox.
 
I thought, "I bet this is how he pays the rent. What if I just write 'Not at this Address!' and put it back in the mail?" Then he'd be way late on the rent and maybe he'd get evicted and I'd be free of all the trouble!
 
I was all ready to do it, but his crazy girlfriend came knocking at my door asking if the mail had arrived and she looked like she was desperate for a fix, so I gave the check to her.
 
Damn. Brilliant plan foiled!
 
Oh well, at least I look awesome in my new glasses!

I don't have you here next to me.
