Boy Done Pondering

This looked easy.

Well, it’s just you.

And we know why you’re here and all.

I sat in the woods for twelve hours yesterday. And I never felt better. But next time I’ll try it without the beer.

Sugaring is a mindset. And I have downloaded it.

See:

    1. Count.
    2. Ponder.
    3. Watch.
    4. Re-count.
    5. Re-ponder.
    6. Re-watch.

Dude, I think I’ve got it.

Today I became a student again. Yep, after dropping out of college with one course to go in 1986 (University of Iowa), I found myself sitting in a classroom once again today. But this time – today, that is – I was studying something far better than political science: post and beam construction.

A man I once knew approached me today. He was nervous. He fidgeted more than I like to be around fidgeting, if you know what I mean. I think he was sweating, too, even though it wasn’t hot. Not even warm, in fact. But I can’t be sure. If he was sweating, that is. Because he made me too nervous watching him be so nervous that I lost track of who was watching whom be nervous.

“Tools,” he said, plaintively. “The secret is in the tools.”

Of course.


This year’s best death-rock band is now featuring Jim Carroll, Vic Chesnutt and Mark Linkous (see Sparklehorse video below). As Carroll would sing, “ they were all my friends, and they died.” Musically speaking, they were. And they did. Damn it.

And, for some reason, this song was going through my head all day long. No, make that: All. Day. Long:

They said if you keep smiling while you say, “Vermont,” you could stay longer.

So many rules. But all in the name of: Self-love.

Note to Deb Markowitz: That opening speech was dreadful. You seem more interested in being something that someone – or many someones – wants you to be. Worse, you’re apparently not very good at being that someone. So stop. And just be yourself.

That’s all, folks.

    Who’s this Deb Markowitz? I don’t plan on running against some liberal bitch from the Homosocialist Republic of Vermont in 2012, so tell me some things: Does she have a bod like mine? Does she have an expensive wardrobe? Does she know how to write an 8 year domestic and foreign policy on her hand? Does she know how to handle a gun? Listen, it’s gonna be me and the black dude running in 2012. There’s just no room for another uppity woman. I’m the star here, donchano? I’m calling a friend in the Vermont Tea Party to get on this. Bitch.

    (or “International Women’s Day Is Like So Over”)

    she just stood there
    asking for it
    like they all do

    what the hell
    do they think
    is going to happen?
    I’m going to
    give them flowers?

    I have my orders
    and my protocol
    she’s not supposed
    to be there

    it’s the public good
    I serve
    not these
    goddamned women
    hanging about
    like whores

    who the hell
    do they think
    they are?
    who they’re fucking with?
    I’ve done them
    like this before

    standing there
    with your arms folded
    with your sign
    and your candle
    and your fucking megaphone
    and your tits sticking out
    arrogant bitch
    just asking for it

    Both times the Barre PD have used their new tasers have been on women. Glad they don’t have bulldozers.

    Sorry I have to fit this in all my posts – No Markowitz No Markowitz – any of the other Dems will be a more believible standard bearer for the party.
