the sucker of drink he became the fool of his freinds cold iron bounds who has done anything for me?...in this time of information, the children's senses overload by a bewildering array of images coming from them at every angle, their insecurity so great...you never know when some accountant is going to come along and downsize your job or you're going to get fired because you went on a picket line to protest for your fair share of profits...while I was the stairmaster I watched a show along the lines of lifestyles of the rich and famous accept it was local in manhattan and it portrayed all these upscape professional in these amazing downtown lofts one guy had a sweet buddha looking serenly over his pool as I watched the expressions of the journalist faun over him and all I could think of was what kind of suffering that man must have evoked to earn that kind of bread to own a spread like that, what terror he must have invoked in the third world as his company came down and swooped up that country's resources and in cosmic serendipity later on in the car on WBAI I heard a journalist talk about the politics of oilin Africa and it was nothing like you hear on the fox report with its tales of great poverty and the pregame and after game interviews of football players and the entire importance the country places on such meaningless drive so to escape the dread this invokes in my system I turn to the drink and become the sucker of it and in hence become vulnerable and foolish to my so called freinds who live like ostriches with their heads buried in the sea of indifference so this blog has no point accept to blog and perhaps get good at it and find somekind of angle so I can stumble the glory of google adsense words...

stare long enough into the abyss and it swallows you up doesn't it follow knock on the door enough times and throw enough tape balls against the wall of indifference and one is going to stick. when I started composing and performing gospel music in the mid-eighties I wanted to touch at least one person's heart and make a difference in someone's life that obviously hasn't happened yet but the joy of the process is enough to keep me trying to reach people in a special meaningful way. what i'm saying is this be encouraged because only a few are chosen to work at the creative level you are working on and it follows also that only a few are going to understand its depth and personality and spiritual essence... it's not a private party it's just that only a few people bothered to show up for it...
