Speeding Bullets
The nearly sixty-year-old rock icon Ray Davies of the Kinks takes a bullet to the leg chasing after his girlfriend's purse-snatcher in Faubourg Marigny day before yesterday. Most regrettable, and the city offers it's condolences but goddamn it Ray, was you so high you imagined yourself to be something you ain't? You got a cape and tights under those clothes you wearing? I mean I know the Marigny has a somewhat lulling atmosphere, all gentrified and everything, but it is precisely that which makes it attractive to local criminals. We all shaking our heads Ray, stick to rock and roll man, hope you feel better. So, once again everybody, here's the rules: give it up and don't talk back. I shouldn't have to tell you not to chase the local youngsters but I guess I better. Don't chase the youngsters, no matter how young or small or innocent or polite they may appear. Most of them that will carry a gun will surely, most surely use it. No kidding though Ray, sorry it had to be you this time. You're contributions to the world of Rock are invaluable, and your regular visits to the small club scene here are also that.
In considerably less stimulating news--I was grumpy all day yesterday. If you were in front of me on the roads you were an a-hole, an f-wad, a bugger-eating moron, a dickless wonder, and/or any number of other less than desirable things. I apologize to one and all. But stay out of my way. At least until the lessening of lunar forces upon my soul.
I'm not sure but yesterday I don't think I accomplished anything, except for that crossing the abyss of bad attitude, and even that I can't be sure of, I mean I may still be the pissy little bitch I sometimes be.
That man said he coming for the truck tomorrow. I guess I better find the key and the title, phew, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
If Normalcy Were Redefined
On Rocheblave one sad dog and I resort to idle dreaming as the other dogs bark resentfully. The canopy overhead is gray, a woman's dress is caught in the car door, and palm fronds anticipate nothing.
