as duane so cleverly pointed out you are 80% gay, which incidently is why i like you so much. gay dudes are so much cooler that regular straight jack asses
this morning had two funny thoughts: 1. driving my oldest daughter to school and she says "sometimes i want to be like other people..." and the first thing i wanted to say was something fatherly like "hell, why would you want to do that--you are the best you there has ever been...". then she asked "don't you ever want to be like any one else?" then a friend of mine came to mind and i said "sure, there are bits and pieces of my close friends that i enjoy and sometimes i want to do some things more like them. you know, merkley, he tends to say what's on his mind. sometimes it's offensive but usually it's very nice--things you'd like to hear that most people won't just come out and say." she said, "oh yeah, merkley, he's so funny, he's a cool guy i love his button maker..." and i said "yeah, i really like him to.
2. after dropping of my daughter i pulled into the filling station, got a drink and started on my way to work, steering with my knees, one hand holding my drink the other holding a new bukowski book open against the wheel. page 110 of septuagenarian stew, the great slob...
- - -
i was always a natural slob i liked to lay upon the bed in undershirt (stained, of course) (and with cigarette holes) shoes off beerbottle in hand trying to shake off a difficult night, say with a woman still around walking the floor complaining about this and that, and i'd work up a belch and say, "hey, you don't like it? then get your ass out of here!"
i really loved myself, i really loved my slob- self, and they seemed to also: always leaving but almost always coming back.

so slob or not i'll keep coming back always have, always will.

ps: yeah, yeah, yeah, i'm sentimental and soft sometimes--i'm suppost to be--i'm a father of four girls--but don't go getting you dirty boxers in a buddle--i'm not gay and after you--you still have to rely on all of your little lady friends (oh, and quinn) to attend to your freckle-ridden-hairy-thirty-something-flesh.
Last night i dreamed that my freckles were gigantic and various shades of tattoo ink colors. like countires on a Risk board game.
I am not very hairy. In fact I have almost no hair on the lower half of my legs. I remember my grandfather had no hair on his legs. I used to have it. I think it just goes away in my gene pool.
I like hate. Actually, I love hate. Hate gives me a big boner. And, I also love that you're starting to put hot chicks on your site. Note: That Duane guy didn't follow your rules. I almost fell asleep from reading his "maria g said..." It interrupted me from watching Three's Company.
