Recent Journal Entries - First Week of August 2010
[These were just meant as notes to remind me of what I wanted to write about. But in case I don't have time to turn them into anything more, here's what little I wrote during the first week of August in the journal I use when I don't have access to (or feel like using) a computer. I wrote much more in it during the second week, while we were in West Virginia, and maybe I'll post that part soon as well. —JB]

Some apologies need no apostrophe
Some apostrophes need know apology
I seem to be a glutton for excrement
on a knead to nose basis
"No one gets to finish a sentence in this house except John Burroughs" — Geri
"The last sentence I recall finishing was from 1993 to 2004" — John
I'd rather be living than underground.
Rub holy water on your midsection for absolution.
For absolution, do lots of crunches.
You're a cunt tree, urine nation.
Then Jesus bows, resisting lazy blight,
in pretend prayer plans to display his "light."

Barnes and Noble is for sale.
Barren and ignoble?

Wonder why we need Republicans —
Weren't the original publicans enough?
After 11 years in prison
I decided I'd rather be an in-law
than an outlaw.

this one made me laugh out loud...
I also see why you and Steve Smith get on so swimmingly... you both have the same wonderfully warped way of seeing and using language... a gift.
One I appreciate.
Thanks .. on a few of these it was my first genuine smile today.

i'll remain an outlaw - can do without any in-laws.

Both you and Smith know the ins and the outs of the law and you both always finish your sentences.

I've been known to rethink my post prison position upon occasion since. But if I had to do 11 again, I think I'd still prefer the in-laws (albeit in as limited quantities as possible)

Thanks! In retrospect, I don't think I need that "You're a" in front of "cunt." Just "Cunt tree, urine nation" works fine.
