I've seen her a couple times, she did "Woodstock" the first time I saw her and introduced as a song from "The Mother of us all". Yes she is great...and she did "Woodstock" tonight as well and I told her all about the jonicovers, and the cover king from South Carolina, and she's agreed to send me a copy of the performance tonight to include in a future compilation! And it was quite superb...her whole performance was so entertaining-when I wasn't listening to her sing I was rolling over with laughter listening to her talk, she was so funny...

(Writing my speeches for all the honorary degrees I'm getting this spring.) The show "Good Morning Miami" -- which I NEVER watch because it's awful -- came on. About half way into the show I heard the words "little prick" and laughter. Well, in the storyline, Suzanne Pleshette was supposed to be the on-camera talent for a segment about inoculations the fictitious news show was videotaping, but she couldn't control her laughter every time she had to to tell the man getting the shot that he was going to feel a "little prick." Then, in his opening monologue, Letterman said that today in Central Park he saw a squirrel who was so excited about Easter, he was dyeing his nuts! I was right.

And while it might seem like adults take responsibility for their actions, it is often the case that adults do nothing of the sort. I'm not one to go by what other people do and say ok I got to hop on board. I take the lumps for this myself. Sure I typed the words in the keyboard, but, that is not really the crime is it? The crime is that people read them and were outraged, pissed off, offended, disgusted, provoked. The words are nothing really, the images they conjure fleeting and harmless. I didn't invent the oversized vagina. It arrived via email and I let it sit for awhile. I wasn't offended by it. It's funny but I've managed to piss everyone off so much in my life that when people start getting angry I just don't really listen. I let their insults bounce off my nose. I don't take what they say to heart, just remember it so if they make up you have something to throw in their face when you need or want something. I was never offended by the oversized vagina. I just took up the thread that tossed out to create offensive over the top hetero posts. That's why I started thinking of all those lousy comedians that tried to act like they don't care about women, the kind of anti feminist lash back stuff that I don't know if it's still popular. Like my friend used to play this sketch by Andrew dice clay, three beautiful dates. Anyway... I'm not offended by the gay stuff on this list either, and, not because I just don't let it get to me. It just hasn't stuck in my craw(anyone know what a craw is? I just picked it up somewhere and kept it?) Some of the perceived attitudes of women towards straight men has pissed me of a little. I can't blame them for their feelings, it's just a little patronizing, and, something I know I've been up and down with in my life. I have never felt like this controlling person with power telling a woman do this and do that. I try to find love where I can and then grab and hold on for dear life(and if crying and holding on and flying on the ground is wrong,) It seems like as men we get the sins of everyone visited upon us. Maybe women feel the same way. When I first got my dog she cowered when I took my tennis racket out of the sleeve. I've never hit a dog in my life, but, I had to deal with her fears. I've kind of made my peace with the whole thing, because if I don't at least attempt to be forward I will never meet anyone, so, you risk pissing people off. You risk rejection. I think when I was younger I took all this stuff way too seriously. Yeah love is about honesty and intimacy, but, romance is about possibility, stimulation, mystery, fantasy, and it can be dangerous to go there with some people, even some women who want to smack you, or you to smack them, even yourself if you are not wise(btw, none of the smacking stuff does it for me.) We build our relationships on love and trust only after the fun wears off. To keep things exciting you need to give her something to dream on(and if you want it, baby you can dream on me.) I know that's where a lot of my anger or frustration towards women comes from because intellectually you hear them say one thing than do something else. It's like the edsel. Ford, I think, asked people what they wanted in a car. Ford took the answers back to the drawing board and created the edsel. Nobody bought them, company failed. I was like the edsel. Then to top it off I was the angry edsel. It took me a long time to kind of step back and be by myself, and, to try not to be so self righteous, to realize that if I had everything I wanted, and, it has happened a few times, I fuck everything up. That I was playing a game and tempting love, saying if I had a this and that then I would be in love. Love is something that you have to build your whole life on and you don't lose it when you give it away. It was never yours to begin with like electricity it comes from other planets(I could never understand the wind at all, was like a ball of love.) Adulthood is about responsibility, but, it also brings the privilege of being able to pass the buck. The older I get the more I realize I'm comfortable being the little kid everyone told me I had to stop being. Now they get to say it but I get to drive home, drive through and get a sundae, stay up all night, throw my clothes everywhere, crank up my guitar and my stereo, and their words don't affect me. I'm the same way in relationships the more I get close the more I regress into being an obnoxious, hyperkinetic, silly little kid. So yeah it has downsides but I'm not too impressed with the upsides of giving up myself to survive, and, a great deal of who I like to be is someone that you have to accept stupid shit from sometimes like ... lama guy made me do it... if it's to my advantage I'll say the words you long to hear ... but only if someone holds my feet to the fire, and, it's not worth it in this case.

Ted, you are the one that typed the words into the keyboard, as did Lama and Heather. I am genuinely appalled at all three.
