I've lived a life of madness and mayhem. I’ve had diabetes for 50 years and have been addicted to one substance of another for 45 of those years. It has been a beautifully joyful and painful schizophrenic ride: drugs, booze, women, music, writing, and learning with each new success or defeat. This blog tries to come to grips with all of life's fractures and contains everything--even you.

TAKING YOUR TEMPERATURE
"ABOVE ALL, AVOID FALSEHOOD, EVERY KIND OF FALSEHOOD, ESPECIALLY FALSEHOOD TO YOURSELF, WATCH OVER YOUR OWN DECEITFULNESS AND LOOK INTO IT EVERY HOUR, EVERY MINUTE."
--Dostoyevsky
Fyodor!
What a pain in the ass you are!
Walking around with a rectal thermometer
between the cheeks
and sniffing it
every few seconds! Christ!
Ain't there any other way???
Sorry, nyet.
Shit, you're sorry. I'm sorry and
I gotta find a drugstore that's open.
Take your time. Take your time.
Not too many have ever been sold.
Not very many want to smell their smell
or
are even able to. (And don't forget
the Vaseline--treat yourself
kindly).
