What i needed to hear...



What I needed to hear...

The morning light peaked through the mini blinds tattooing my face with stripes of soft warm sunrise. Tired eyes pry to the faint daybreak light with unwanted solar distress, still hazy, adjusting. Crusty rubs brighten, then dim, and then brighten again to blurred vision that slowly fades to a paralyzed clarity. Admiring overhead, the craftsmanship of purely random spackle dancing across the ceiling like indoor clouds of imagination. Mono chromatically bleached milky current of frozen slush spilling evenly to every corner. Ivory glazed Braille gibberish or Rorschach textures of Freudian consequence decoded purely for the colorblind. Frosted, pale topography of undiscovered territory absent from the neutrality of even Switzerland. Left leg and foot numb from constricting, tangled sheet angst not unlike partial mummification. A quick twist releases blood flow, making way to the dilated cerebral arteries relieving my splitting migraine. The temporary liquid amnesia, and provisional confusion weigh heavily on welcoming the memory of last night’s events. Parched morning halitosis, chapped lips, and silence to hold in subsequent lies or avoid liberating a myriad of truths. Pillow talk is now a one way conversation with a bag of feathers muffling the hangover prayer. Rustling in the bed gives proof to her awakening and validity to playing possum, suppressing all senses. I could feel, what I remember to be green eyes, making my identity, squashing any chance of an alias. With the anticipation of her getaway one eye opened cautiously, along with freeing one ear from the baffle of goose down, witnessing her clumsy, yet whimsical jaunt to the bathroom. Standing naked at the sink, with a weak scoliosis arch of exhaustion, not stature. Staring into herself, obviously not the expected reflection but she double checks anyway. Hands cusp to the faint sounds of tap water and the aquatic baptism splashes her face like a disobedient super soaker. As she pirouettes to the attention of the bed, I realize I’m not as sneaky as I thought I was. Struggling to hide her dizzy stroll with a runway model’s swagger, she makes way to my side of her bed settling herself in the only space provided by my fetal position. The soft touch of her hand caressed my neck and shoulder, and I awaited the hushed tone of those 3 words we all like to hear. As she leaned in I could already feel the heat of her breath moving along my neck. Her whisper was joy to my lingering ear. “Get out, please”. Exactly what I needed to hear...

Pen, Paper, Wild Cherry Pepsi, and Writers Block



Pen, Paper, Wild Cherry Pepsi, and Writers Block

For someone who loves to write, and uses pen & paper as self therapy, writers block can make the wild cherry Pepsi taste flat. The ability to transfer my ideas to paper has temporarily been bottled. I observe the decanter's bulge of compressed air and feel the mimicked chemical reaction in my gray matter. I twist the cap, hear the gaseous mixture discharge along with my escaping thoughts. The tiny bubbles spiral airborne, as does the mini brainstorm light bulbs. And then invisible. Gone. Never to reach the paper. Just pick up the bottle and drink. Even if it's flat, it's still wild cherry Pepsi. Just pick up the pen and write. Even if it sucks, it's still therapeutic.

Exhausted Sarcasm and Urinal Etiquette #2 – The Stall



Exhausted Sarcasm and Urinal Etiquette #2 – The Stall

So those of you who haven't read "Exhausted Sarcasm and Urinal Etiquette", it's a nice little prequel to this blog. Although this peice serves nicely as a "stand alone". And yet i found myself sitting amongst unfamiliar company

So there i was heading to my "favorite" white trash emporium (insert sarcasm here) to procure me some cheap Easter basket provisions. As i strolled through the store, my game plan was simple, and the same as it always is. Get in, get out but be on the lookout for people who you can snap a picture of, so that you may submit it to www.peopleofwalmart.com thus winning the famed "Feature Creature" of the week. If you have yet to visit this gem of a webite, prepare yourself to not only never get back the 2 hours you will squander, but just remember there are things that can never be unseen. You have been warned...

So i hopped along filling my basket with stuff to fill the kid's baskets. As i was passing the sugar free Peeps (which in itself is Easter Blasphemy) i felt a rumble in this bunny's tummy. Now normally i try to avoid dropping a deuce in a public restroom but since the rabbit was falling behind i didn't want the turtle head to win the race. As i entered "El BaƱo del Diablo" i noticed 4 stalls, 1 being the handi-capable one. I did what we all do, the feet check. Revealing one empty stall. Now if you have read "Exhausted Sarcasm and Urinal Etiquette" you will know that there is code that all men live by in the arena of public restrooms. The 3 standard rules are...

1. Put atleast one empty urinal (or in this case, stall) between you and the next guy.
2. No Talking
3. No Eye Contact

Now these 3 rules are non negotiable, unless your with a friend. And let's face it guys, only chicks (oh yes staying with the Easter reference) go to the bathroom in pairs. At this point, there was no time. I would have to break rule #1. Toilet paper, check. Cowboy hat, check. DroidX, check. All preparations were made and i was ready to send Alice down the rabbit hole when from the stall next to me came feirce sounds of over exertion. Now at first i thought, come on man this is a public restroom. Then as the intensity amplified, i was genuinely concerned for the guy.

Okay, We now pause for station identifaction...For those who don't know me, my wit and charm is not immediately appreciated by all. And moreover, I too cannot beleive the shit that sometimes comes out my mouth. But i digress...

Back to the genuine concern. So i broke rule #2 and said, "Come on buddy, release the Kracken". I guess subconciously i was really trying to help the guy out with a little positive reinforcement, but as it turns out the other 2 stalls found it just as funny as i did. Which in turned really helped things along for me... And respectively for the Titan in the handi-capable stall.

I exited my stall and the only thing left to wipe was the giant smile on my face. But i still had to wash up. Water, soap, water, dry, and just as i turned to toss away my paper towel the stall door swung open and rule #3 was broken with what i can only describe as "stink eye" (no pun intended). Fight or Flight said "Go", and i left without confrontation or Easter supplies. Thank you, Easter Bunny. Bawk, Bawk.

Little Red Riding Hood and the Texas Chainsaw Strip Club (Redux)


Updated version...

Little Red Riding Hood and the Texas Chainsaw Strip Club (Redux)


So I sat in the BMW glazed with sweat and cheap perfume splashed with glitter. I massaged my cheeks and jawbone, sore from the lockjaw laughter marathon. My gut wrenched with two acute side aches, like running extra laps in gym class. My whole urinary tract sighed in relief after nearly exploding like an over filled water bed. A pure comedic experience, with just a sting of empathy. There is always someone to laugh with, and moreover, someone to laugh at. I can't say I've ever laughed this hysterically, and felt so bad (for an individual) at the same time. I will say this, I will never be able to walk into a strip club ever again without recalling the events of that night. And to share that moment with a great friend, well, priceless...

We walked into the strip club and I noticed her almost immediately. This Christina Aguilera look alike with partial black dreads and milky white skin attracted the most attention within the club. She was wearing a very small, white bikini top to match her very small A-cups. With the pink sarong around her waist, you could barely see that she was wearing a white G-string, but it was there. Definitely the hottest girl in the club, at least by my standards.

We sat at a table next to six guys celebrating the demise of one, or what you would call a bachelor party. They were already pretty liquored up, but continued to add insult to injury. Little Red (As we appropriately nicknamed her – It'll make sense later) had yet to hit the stage and was making her rounds throughout the club. Going from here to there, never staying long. Until the dollar signs in her eyes brought her to the table of seven. We watched as she used every trick in the book to rob these malcontents of all there singles. Dollars flew around quickly along with the drinks. She spent approximately forty five minutes with these marks, sitting on laps and grinding them just the same. I'm almost positive the bachelor got the most lap time, as it should have been (Lucky for him..).

Meanwhile on stage, a very tall, (partially because of the whore boots she was wearing) muscular, black woman was tearing it up on stage. Very athletic, and versed in the art of the pole, she earned her well deserved singles. The only thing was that she bordered the genders, in the sense that i'm almost positive that her dick just might have been bigger than mine. After her Cirque de Soleil performance she made her way to our table, asking my buddy if he wanted a private dance. As he declined graciously she palmed his head with both hands, as if to snap his neck. But instead, like a slow motion horror flick, her giant slug like tongue made a slime trail from underneath his chin, along his cheek, ending just above his temple.
(Don't worry his Hep C test came back negative)She followed that up with "You don't know what your missing". She walked away, and i swear i saw her adjust her balls between steps. But i digress...

And then like the voice of God, Little Red was called upon the stage which was centered between the party of seven and us. Now here's where it gets good...

She strolled slowly to the stairs of the small stage. Sexy as hell, and all amped for her three song set. As her first song began, it was time to lose the sarong to finally get a full view of what we already knew to be a perfect ass. To no surprise that party booty hit the prime time much better than expected, but as she turned, confusion set in. Now with limited lighting my first thought was... What is that design on the front of her white G-string? As I squinted it almost seemed wet, so my next thought was... Oh, maybe she was all hot and bothered like a feral cat, from the last forty five minutes with the bachelor party? Then it hit me (and my buddy at the same time). Aunt Flo was visiting and she brought cousin Red. No swimming - red tide is in. Maximum Ovarydrive. “Red Dawn” was showing at the Y followed by “The Hunt for Red October”. It's shark week. Rudolph is guiding the sleigh. The Red Wings have a home game. Paul Revere is making his ride (I really had to think about this one). There is a crime scene at the fork in the road. Throwing eggs at the Easter rabbit. Okay I think that's enough euphemisms, you get the picture.

Needless to say, at this point I'm comatose with laughter. But like a train wreck we can't look away. Now here's where it go's all down hill. Through the drunken fog of disarray the table of seven began to catch on. After realizing they all had been “Superbad-ed” their exit could not come any sooner. So, as I'm on the verge of wetting myself, I turn my attention from the now empty table, back to the stage where little red had yet to figure out that she's blotting quicker than an old lady with a stack of bingo cards. She then began her strip tease completely oblivious that there had been a murder on beaver creek. She threw the G-string to the side of the stage, and my empathy for her kicked in, although the laughter was much more overpowering. She finally realized the situation after her 3 song set, when the next dancer arrived on stage and informed her of the communist attack. She crumbled in embarrassment, and needed help to get off the stage. That's when we made our way out to the BMW...

When she speaks...



When she speaks...

When she speaks, sometimes i just close my eyes, close my eyes tight. Keep them shut, so tight as if to block out all light. More like an absence of light, thus reflecting one less sense. Dividing up now between the four, letting me see her sonic complexities when she speaks. Sometimes i just close my eyes and extend my hands palms up carrying no weight. No weight of gravity, floating absent of touch. Numb without the tingle, thus reflecting one less sense. Dividing up now between the three allowing to feel the ricochet pin prick when she speaks. Sometimes i just close my eyes, extend my hands palms up, and pause my breath, not through my mouth but the nose. Stiffeling her natural pheromone rising from her pores like a naked steam bath. A pinched clothespin blocking the scent, thus reflecting one less sense. Dividing up now between the two allowing the spicy, mysterious aroma of when she speaks. Sometimes i just close my eyes, extend my hands palms up, pause my breath, and lock my tongue against my palette trapping a tasteless layer of saliva. Only leaving enough to wet my lips if needed for soft, sweet kiss thus reflecting one less sense. With only one sense remaining i just close my eyes, extend my hands palms up, pause my breath, lock my tongue and just listen when she speaks...
