10:45 A.M. MANIFESTO

It’s ten forty five….too early to be

drinking? Nah….. once you give into

the alcohol ,  everything is so much easier….

of course I’m joking around….take

a survey of those that  drink and those

that don’t, and see what the happiness ratio

is.  Do it  for yourself and all the other

straight people….I know I’m happy…

and I drink. Paris in the twenties, ….

New York in the  thirties ..The Algonquin…

all of the greatest writers and all of them drunks.

…drugs and alcohol,  the fuel of the gods…

all sober people did was write treaties and

break them…totally totally useless lives of

self-important  nonsense….and hundred of

millions of people died very badly…

all in the name of a rational,  sane society

made up of bullshit and laws  to make the

few rich and the rest slaves…and you

know what?  It always works out that way

in this confused world so I say  sing, stay

drunk, be poor and laugh at the poor miserables

toiling for a brilliant future that,  if it does

even come,  never lasts…. the billionaires in

fifty cent bodies….no better than what they

had for dinner…worse even…much worse.

                         Do you think it a bit harsh?

Oh yeah, and how's about all those stories on
AOL-HUFFPO about little Sally who was always
irritated about never having just the right place
to put her sandwich when she was watching, t.v....
so she invented something that made her fifty
million and now she's a hard core addict and
doesn't expect to live past thirty, but ShowTime
is doing her bio and she has a couple of reality
shows on the drawing board...the sale of Prozac
has gone up 6% in the last two weeks....so....
things are looking good.

Milwaukee...now there's an honest city...
driving in, nothing but churches and bars.
They pray for the best, but they know
how to make it to  Monday.

You have to be brave....not to write, but
to experience life with such truth that you'll
have something worth writing about.
