Your feet beat down happy on dirty wood floors. Smiles for miles and children dance with glee. I see ghosts of the future that will never get to see this part of heaven on earth. And plenty of ghosts who will have nowhere to go.

The night doesn't belong to lovers.

The night doesn't belong to anyone.

Most lovers are too stupid to own the night, anyhow.

It's like Chan said, "How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming."

The robots smile at you knowingly.

No one ever belongs anywhere, baby.

Not even here.

I am a cheater.

It has been proven.

I am a liar, too.

I am all of these things and more. At least at Scrabble.

You have to call in your order to Red Hot now.

My girl is red hot, as the song goes.

So must be the business at Red Hot.

In Ellwood City, we sort out the poseurs by seeing who orders Pepsi at Red Hot. Everyone knows you either get a Cherokee Red or an RC Cola. If you get the wrong drink, we stone you, like a Shirley Jackson story.

Our future is not here behind desks. It is behind lunch counters, inside airstream trailers, driving up (or down) Mystery Hills.

Today is not our future. Tomorrow is.

This is my bed. I lay claim to it. If I had a flag, I would stick it in the middle of the bed and let it triumphantly fly. My flag would have a picture of my face, so you would know it was my flag. I will raise my paw in the air and proclaim, this bed is my land, not your land. If you would, please take me outside to do my business.

You have used n'at and slippy many times.

We have slowly given way to the yinzer that resides in us.

Let's find the drink that tastes perfect. We'll grab that magic bullet and the ice and the booze and we'll sip away all the aches and pains. Let's slip away into a new world.

I used to wonder where I'd end up. Now I have a pretty good idea. I don't know the city or the state or even what reality. That being typed, I have a good idea of where I'll end up. I feel pretty good about it.

The weekend is not enough time. I want days, weeks, months to do nothing. Nap in the middle of the day for no reason. It's a dream. A dream of working when you need to, making art because you want to. Now, everything is schedules and commerce and have to be here. Someday, there will be no need to be anywhere.

The drink was as big as her head. She wanted help, but none was forthcoming, so bravely she lofted the goblet to her lips and partook of the elixir. For a long time. It would take plenty of precious time to consume it all. Her head was light, lofty and far from home.

To me, Christmas isn't about gifts. Well, it is. I think its about the idea of gifts, giving things to people that you truly love. Finding that just so perfect thing that you know will light up their eyes. That's what Christmas means to me.

If I have learned anything, the simple fact is that I hate to wake up. Bed is so nice and warm in the winter. However, Norris decided that it would be fun to claw me. If you pet him, he stops. That said, I was not awake, so he would claw me, bite me and jump on me. At 6 AM. The alarm had more time and I said, "Please, let me sleep." Cats either don't understand English, or more likely, do not give a shit. He kept clawing me as I tried to wrap blankets into a fabric shield against his overtures. It was to no avail. Norris was not to be denied. As I got out of the shower, he was there, triumphant on the toilet. He beat me.

Norris is angry at the new year. He will not change what he writes on his checks. He will not have any resolutions. It is just another day to him. Keep in mind, he does not write checks or do anything more than sit on a chair and sleep. He eats, too.

Running through nature trails, meeting little kids, getting her nails done, going to parties, wearing dresses. Dogs really pack a lot of living into one day. That may be why they age in dog years, as they do 4 months of stuff in one day. They aren't lazy, I will tell you that much.
