midnite
been listening
to caRlie allison from the cHicago jazz fest on public
radio just now.. i must get a copy of the show i just
heard.. she sings some of my favorite oldie-tymie songs
- "as long as your living" & "old
devil moon" which i sang in high school.. sHe sang
it so fast and jazzy..
i turned
on the radio to catch "word jazz" with keN
noRdane - one of the beatnics that melts me with his
spoken word.. inspires me, his voice does and the bizzare
subjects which he speaks... i want to train my voice
like his and do some of this gRoovy stuff...
"word
jazz"
"here
we are with something imaginary" ...
im so glad
i am finally getting to hear this sHow.. i have had
my "reminder" note on the fRidge for a couple
weeks now..
it's really
trippy .. perfect for stoner-beats like me to "tune
into" for thier suNday midnight head-trip..
i love keN
nordane.. his voice spoken is a musical instrament...
"word
jazz"

ppps: day
before yesturday wHas my oNe year aniversary here in
cHicago.. the day i flew away from sf, my home of 14
years, and moving from california for the first time..
funny how we stay in one place for such long periods..
i have thirty-five years of california in me...
(wHy do you
have bald knees?
- ken noRdane)
... and now
oNe year of cHicago is in my "reX.miX"...
367 days ago i wHas visiting my sf home one last time
before "eX.periencing the eX.pected - un. eX.pected"
.. "the gReat heLLo" wHas introduced in my
life when i left california.. not just a hello .. but
a hello that would face truth directley.. a deeper hello
to a truth that cost me a life of my lovEr.. oscar..
and also that "hello" - that deeper truth
wisdom has turned somewhat into a "good-bye"
to a tribe member i came out here to be with.. another
"un.eX.pected - eX.pected" ... and a great
hello that pushed me to find deeper meaning for my moVe
accross country
it wHas for
my re-constitution.. my health.. my spirituality.. it
wHas a move that took that "great hello" and
turned it right on me.. iM saying a great hello to some
deeper reX.going-ons. ones that i havent said hello
to for a long time or ones that i just dont want to
give a hoWday to.. i didnt travel lite when i came to
chicago... i carried 35 years of my life.. in some strong
holding baggage.. i felt the weight of the baggage but
couldnt unload any of it .. till i actually found them..
opened them.. eXamed the contents... and finally start
to sort through the clutter.. i need to get my bags
in order .. my future is forty.. and im real eX.cited
about that! .. foRty will not be tHirty.. and right
now with all the weight of 35 years with me.. that will
be a relief .. so much work is being done and now i
feel like im right in the middle of it.. well.. at least
im there in the middle and not just trying to start..
the great hello has lead me thus far a path.. one that
discovers itself with every step another aspect of my
life.. yeah..it will be good to turn forty.. another
great hello.. but with the power of all these other
"hellos" that im working on now they will
become part of my future consitution...
it's now
almost one am.. ken's show is over.. there's some gRoovy
coletrain organ music playin'.. and kitty is up on the
desk with me.. lovin' on me.. telling me to put down
this pen she is licking and give her a big ol' daddy
hello!
"hello
kitty" ..

glass is half empty. The emperor is naked. One bad apple ruins
your taste for all fruit. Although you're cute when you get
disorganized or forgetful, nobody wants to see you turn bitter
about it. Don't assume that you're losing your touch. Everyone
has an off day from time to time. Things will be much easier
if you let family members help you put it all back together.
If you haven't spoken in a while, this is your chance to reconnect.
