IFFY AND TWITCHY BATTLE IT OUT

she plucked her eyebrows like a monk removing leaves from the most perfect japanese garden until nothing was left but ...perfection.
how she knew that shit was unkown to her, but, she knew.
she knew, she was pretty.
that's all she needed to know.
no more.

she was going to the party that night down by the river.

the smell of the river was always there. this night...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. take a breath...that southern mississippi was so sweet.
eat yourself sweet.

it was a honeysuckle and hootch night.

she was dressed to kill, and wanted something she couldn't even name.
the heat made your body melt.

the heat in her loins couldn't comport with what had been told her by the preachers or her parents.
nothing had prepared her for this desire.

she met Oran.

he played the keyboards; pounding those keys like drums or sweet young corn.
sweat dripping from his shoulders like streams from trees dripping into the river with jasmine blossoms while the sounds of boogie woogie pounded from his fingers onto the marble keys, the message, home.

the trees hung over the dirty river like silk leaving skin and the smell was like everything begotten and forgotten only interrupted by the smell of his breath and skin heaving and wanting and taking, and, of course her own juices rising and giving and they fucked under the tree overhanging the river. the great river.

she didn't even know where babies came from. didn't care.
she fucked in bliss.

she, much later told Iffy, this story. this was the birth of Iffy's mother.

BITCH FUCKED IN BLISS.....bless her fucking heart!!!!!!!!!!!!! she fucked in bliss!!!!!
and so did ORAN!

not so much to his regret, but, he told me later in his life, while i was changing his bedpan, to never give up my dream.

i never did....and...

my dream is you.


and so begin the stories of iffy and twitchy.

LOVE

is all there is.

ok, OK....O FUCKING K!!!!!

i'm eating so many shrrrrroooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmsssssssssssssssss, it's not fair to humans

ok, ok, OK.............OFUCKUCKINGK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'M NOT HUMAN

oh fucking YES! I AM!

Kick Off Party!!
Hey everyone!! Times a ticking away, dresses are being made, tuxedos altered, and we're having a big party to kick off the weekend!! We have four very special DJ's spinning great dance tunes in a very special private venue. The Address for the Anon Salon Gallery is: 285 9th St. In the SOMA district of San Francisco... The cross-street is Folsom. The doors will open at 9pm and music will go till 4am... at least. :) Esther and I can't wait to boogie down with you all!!


SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!!!

OH! MY GOD! I FORGOT TO FUCK!!!!!!!

I was telling someone about my wake, and, he asked what my last wish was.
"Huh?", I asked.

He said "Don't you get one last wish before you die?"

Then, it hit me!

"OH, MY FUCKING GOD!!!!! I FORGOT TO FUCK!!!!!!!"

Ok, we gotta do it over.

MY WAKE KILLED ME!

Killed by love, that is...and...lots of acid, booze, laughter, kisses, hugs, singing, dancing, and, and, and. My sides still hurt from laughing so much. I can't even attempt to name names here...and "thank you", just doesn't do it. Besides, I'm dead and "we don't responsible".

Coming up next.....JUDGMENT DAY!

There'll be more to come......after the resurrection.

There's a few photos in the DUSTFISH tribe (thanks to Douglas).

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I LOVE YOU ALL!

(Opal looks so happy that she finally mustered the forces to kill me, doesn't she?)

Le Saboteur

ok. i've made mistakes. everyone has made mistakes, and, believe me, being one who stands up...my mistakes usually stand up too.
it goes with the territory. and, i'm used to forgiving. "the road to freedom is lined with forgiveness" a wise man once said that, and, i know it to be true.
one morning, while camping in the desert....may i say it? at burningman, one morning, i was laying under beautiful rags in the arms of the most beautiful human ever born, magnus, and he looked into my eyes and asked, "lord, where do we go from here?"
i said, "it's time to cross the bridge from belief to knowledge. it's time to cross that bridge. we used to 'believe', but, it's time we 'know' that love is the only way....it's time to cross that bridge."

and, bernal shaved scatha's pussy and we went on.

occasionally, you have to call a snake a snake, or slap a man/woman in the face to let them know they have crossed a line, or have committed a sin, or, to know he/she needs forgiveness. it's all part of the process, as i see it, and, since this is my story, it's all about how i see it....these are my fucking stories and they can tell their end whenever they want to.

for right now......i have the morrells......and, mercy is mine, and, i have lived this long.

so. tonight, i'm the loser....and...i forgive those who have wronged me....and, myself.
