Be careful what you wish for

Age

Location
about me
Geographically undesirable, commitment-phobic, relationship challenged, emotionally unavailable software developer/programmer with lousy communication skills and tons of baggage seeking psychologically damaged, sexually depraved, morally flexible vixen with raging libido, low self-esteem, hostility toward men and poor impulse control.

No? Okay, perhaps you'd prefer this:

My favorite things in life are...

1. Commitment
2. Changing myself
3. Working on our relationship

Seriously. Can people really be objective about themselves? I doubt if can so I guess you'll just have to tell me what you think.

Scribblings


The middle path is the hardest road for a man to walk with grace

I’ve spent my life in a cold dark cell or else, well, lost in space

My heart full of peace, harmony, love, greeting each one with a smile

Or hanging out down on Hooligan Street, with O.J., Erik and Lyle

People would say, as I traveled their way, “There goes John; he’s sober and chaste.”

Or else they would point as I lit up my joint and say, “There goes John; what a waste.”

A fit vegetarian, healthy of frame, ... read more

a true story

We paced back and forth in front of the mausoleum and waited for the Mexican grave diggers to finish their lunch. Bruce Pedy, my father’s lawyer, looked very nervous and kept looking toward the gate of the cemetery while playing with the volume controls on his hearing aids, as if he expected the police to come screaming up the driveway with their sirens blaring. We were there not to make a deposit, but a withdrawal, and maybe the papers were forged, but I still think Bruce was... read more

Summer sweats
Stealth Jets
Bombs whistle
Anti-missles
The moon’s on fire
God’s a liar
No hope
Shoot some dope
Turn a trick
Suck some dick
Kill the truth
Hitler youth
Have some fun
Take a gun
Shoot someone
Body rots
Damn fine shot
Get a medal, recognition
Another case of ammunition
Castrate, masturbate
Always take, don’t create
Smoke a joint, have a drink
Keep yourself in doublethink
Buy some coke
Now you’re broke
Have no friends
Kill again
Go to church, see a prie... read more

Acting is cutting off your hand to spite the playwright’s pen

Ego jerking itself off and calling it “art”

The occupation (I refuse to call it a profession)

Is filled with sniveling, vain, emotionally retarded,

Frustration starved, adrenaline addicted jerks

Who didn’t get enough rejection when they were teenagers

All dying to be in the movies

So their ego ejaculations can be immortalized on celluloid

And worshipped by millions of future generations

Face it, actors ... read more

Little Ricky walked in, opened his knapsack and pulled out an Ingram Mac 10 machine pistol. He took out the surveillance cameras with two short bursts as Eric got the drop on the guard. He screamed, “Alright, this is a robbery!” from under the bill of his John Deere baseball cap: “Everybody freeze!” It took a moment for the employees and patrons of the Caldwell Farmer’s Bank to accept the fact that they were being taken off by a gang of kindergarteners.

Julie walked up to the merchant’s wi... read more

The crescent moon pours blood over the streets of West Hollywood

I’m standing knee deep in it, wolfing down a falafel at Eat a Pita

The chick peas turn into glass in my stomach

And I puke the fossil fuel of future generations

It’s been an exceedingly poor day

I break into the back of a dead store on Fairfax and heat up a load of despair in my cooker

I tie off with the chains of my own conditioning

And mainline my loneliness in a terrific rush of anguish

Then I go hunti... read more

I was alone in my apartment, enjoying candlelight, Beethoven, and the solitude of the wee morning hours, when I heard it: “Get out of here, you motherfuckers!” followed by the sound of a Dresden pitcher smashing against the wall. “Uh-oh,” I thought, “it’s that time again.” The source of the disturbance was the apartment immediately adjacent to mine; my father’s residence. The old man was screaming at his ghosts again.

After several years of abject poverty, my father and I were enjoying a... read more
