LET ME OUTTA HERE!!!

Hello friends...I have been so self absorbed contemplating the inner lining of my bellybutton...that I have forgotton to make more entries HERE. It is true that I am currently under the spell of a rapidly dwindling bottle of 3 month oak-aged merlot (don't be alarmed, it was just something a little better than the 2-BUCK,...I felt like splurging...)...where was I....??







I find myself lacking the needed energy to keep up with everything these days...I got laid off from my studio job...Fabricating at the art studio in REDHOOK, Brooklyn, and "luckily" a friend was vacating her doggie walking job, and I jumped right in...HEY, after months of being finacially frustrated, I figure I can suck it up like everyone else, and do what needs to git done! BUT it is SUCKING THE LIFE OUTTA ME!!!!....I feel like I can properly relate to my brother JOE and his wife KIYOMI, and their 2+ year old...It's like taking care of kids...and being a big ol' fag we shouldn't have to be exposed to this shit...There have gots to be perks to bein' a homo in a no homo zone....









I have handled more poop in the last month than I ever hoped to handle....Which is saying something considering the fact that people here in Harlem and northwards...just don't believe in picking up after their dogs, I MEAN how about picking up the crap? You own a dog, YOU pick up it's shit, FAT ASS!!!....NOW I know where THE HARLEM SHUFFLE of Rolling Stones fame gits it's meaning....NOT TO WORRY...I just came up with a brilliant public works/installation/guerilla art project I shall be implementing in the near future, JUST in time for spring....Stay tuned....









The UP SIDE of spending alot of time out of doors with my four-legged friends, is that there are alot of great parks up up town...like THE CLOISTERS...They shipped bits and pieces of several medieval monastaries over and reesembled them up on a lofty hill... (one of the few parts of NYC not to get razed flat...overlooking the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge), along with those famous UNICORN tapestries...and I just saw the first crocuses opening up in the dirt out there in all the surrounding grayness....I guess I better hurry and bury some of those doggie while I still have places to hide them....(just...kidding...???)....









But enough of all this cliche LIFE and DEATH stuff...There'll be plenty of that on NPR in the forthcoming weeks...here's a little ditty I totally forgot about until today...One of my synapses popped and there it was... I came across this song randomly on KROQ in Los Angeles, growing up...and was rooted to the spot...I satisfied myself with a crappy recording I made off the radio for all those years...it wasn't easy to find...or I just weren't that resourceful back then....anyways: VIVA LA YOUTUBE.....why didn't I think of it sooner....This is right up there with my favorite things to put on when trashed, like E.L.O....need I say more: enjoy... NOWHERE GIRL BY B MOVIE...

P.S.: I just came back to this post for easy access to the song, to listen to it again...a few days after posting this...and as MY LUCK would have it...they had to erase that particular FULL LENGTH VERSION, as there is a dispute about the film footage (Fritz Lang?) the accompanied it...so I went back, and of course...no other full length version available...I don't know why people bother posting the butchered version...it just aint the same without that great build up at the beginning...OH WELL.....
