"FLAMING ASSHOLE"

Would be a good screen name for a lot of people. Some of them are my clients.

LAWYERS IN LOVE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEULVyg1O_8

I can't keep up with what's been going down
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love

God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians will
Now we've got all this room, we've even got the moon
And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love

WEEK 26

Nine people killed in the Metro, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson dying make for a busy week. And my air conditioner is busted. It is good the have the farting preacher in such trying times.

FACEBOOKIN'

For those of you who have been living in a cave, you can now have your own Facebook user name: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=90316352130

A BUSY DAY

Farrah Fawcett died this morning. Michael Jackson died this evening. Two clients didn't show, one was late, the other one was an asshole and didn't tip.

Ironically, people thought I would have my first heart attack by now. Or my first bypass. Or both. Yet I outlived Jacko.

ADOPT A CAT!

Ok, this has nothing to do with massage (but how many of my posts do, anyway).

June is Adopt A Cat Month: http://alexandriaanimals.org/~awla/special_events.cfm

THIS IS OOGY

See http://slate.com/id/2220925/?GT1=38001

I have a lab coat, but haven't worn it in a while. J sez the lab coats in the hospital where she works aren't cleaned that well. Eeeewwww.

A REPRIEVE?

I may be able to keep my studio.

WEEK 25

America keeps soldiering on. Two signs of the times in the neighbourhood where I have my studio:

1) Books A Million is opening late and closing early every day, saving a total of nine hours a week. That's over a whole day's work for one person, maybe two.

2) China Cafe is closing at 4PM Sundays, as opposed to 9PM. I told the guy only old people eat dinner at 4PM.

WOKE UP FEELING SICK...

...and scared, but had a surprisingly productive afternoon.

THE SUMMER SOLISTICE...

...is upon us: http://radiospace.com/am.htm

Also, next week the sun enters the sign of Cancer, a water sign.

A NEW ONE

A client calls and says he's allergic to detergent and has to be massaged naked. I tell him he will have to wear boxers, briefs or bathing trunks and he asks if a G-string is ok. This one of the reasons I'm not too sorry to be losing the studio.

A KIND WORD FROM MY EX-BOSS

"I certainly hope the right man finds out what one helluva woman you are."

ALL SUMMER LONG

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8UVyk5-EVQ

It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Ahh Ahh AhhAhh Ahh Ahh
Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

[Chorus:]And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll
While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again

[Repeat Chorus x2]
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

LIFE...

...is what happens when you are busy making other plans."

John Lennon

How true. Actually, this also sounds like something Woody Allen would write.

ANOTHER NAIL IN MY COFFIN

Craigslist is charging for ads in the therapeutic section.

WEEK 24

Weird stuff this week, the worst of it being the shooting at the Holocaust Museum, which has slowed some things, to say the least.

I USED TO BE DISGUSTED

Now I try to be amused.

Declan McManus

I AM TOLD WHEN G-D CLOSES A DOOR...

...He/She may not open a window, but He/She does open a vent. Or at least knocks a hole in the wall.

THEY SAY EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

So it's a good thing I was otherwise engaged so I wasn't downtown where a guy was killed at the Holocaust Museum.

THE RICE TREATMENT

Unfortunately I had to recommend it tonight, to a woman who wasn't a client. And I witnessed another accident five minutes before that.

GOOD LORD

When does it end?

HEY, YOU!

Grow a fucking spine. Note: This does not refer to massage clients.

ALL THINGS HAPPEN

WEEK 23

Feeling a little better this week.

I AM

And that's about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY

My hitherto "baby" pig is five years old today.

GOOD FRIENDS AND HOT COFFEE...

Are both wonderful things. Especially when you can introduce the friends to the farting preacher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo9kJZvYBB0

"NO NEW MESSAGES"

Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes not .

GAVE NOTICE

Gave notice on the studio last weekend. My last day there will be June 30th.

LET NOT THY LEFT HAND...

...know what thy right hand doeth."

Matthew 6:3
