The 1812

Back when I was drinking heavily and living in Louisiana,

I had acquired a pretty thick accent.

On my way up nawth one time to visit the relateds,

I stopped in a bar in South Carolina called "The 1812."

I got drunker than drunk and proceeded to

loudly inform everyone there that they were

all just a bunch of "d*mn southern yankees."

Flat

One time I lived in a flat on the bottom floor of an old rambling house. There was one room there which I found to be creepy and so I used it for storage.

The flat on the second floor and the flat on the third floor were mirrors of mine i.e. the layout of rooms was nearly identical.

Turns out a guy in the flat on the top floor in that room [before I lived in that house in my flat] had dropped some acid, painted the room red and black and then killed himself.

Colors in Nature

I took a collage class once that my friend Ernie was teaching.

He was an excellent teacher and I learned much from him.

Ernie made an interesting claim when we were talking about

the color wheel, that certain colors do not appear together in

nature like purple and yellow, orange and blue...these colors

were in opposition or non-complementary on the color wheel.

I couldn't leave that one alone. I went home and looked through

a ton of magazines and found flowers and insects where those

colors do indeed exist side by side. I cut them up and turned them
into a collage.

Ernie laughed and laughed.

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts. You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary. But you sure can beat a good drum. "Kill! Kill!"
