hustle & flow

you know it's hard out here for a pimp.

after a long day of accounting for every debit/credit to the old corporate bank account, number, number, numbers, i'm exhausted cause i fell asleep last night at like 5am and hadda wake up for 10 for the mighty tax session and i'm tired and i try to sleep and the puppy needs a walk and the puppy needs food and i'm so tired i can't sleep, can't see straight, got a warm face from sun, yes sun and i try to sleep and i can't sleep so i browse shaw video on demand and find hustle and flow and check it out.

the movie's a little cheesy but it gives me some good shit, you got the scene where taryn manning cries cause she doesnt wanna suck dick anymore and the scene where djay gets dragged off by the cops which kinda hits home in a distant, "my best dude got nabbed by a swat team and hauled off 3 years ago and i hate picturing it but the movie made me" type of way and i got a sniffle or two out.

s'just the type of person i am. sniffles from motion picture cheese.

kinda reflecting on a shit week, everything sucks cause we're so busy and a friend i thought was a friend isn't really a friend and i always feel like somebody's watching me (could just be God) and it was also real good cause i got the phone block lifted and i heard from 'im every day this week til yesterday, no call yesterday then no call today and it's silly but i worry cause it's not like 'im you know i can handle two days without a call and i don't even expect them it's just that it's the norm and given his situation, when the norm no longer occurs you can't help but wonder what's up and i hope nothing is wrong i just hope nothing is wrong.

and i have the warm face. and no matter how many times i have a goddamned shower, for some reason i still feel like i need another. must be the hard water. if that's what the kids are calling it these days.

keep hustling.

it ain't over for me. no, it ain't over for me.

keep flowing.

ima step my game up and get what's comin' to me.

what's new pussycat, lalalalala

y'know, of all the people i communicate with throughout my life, the people who are consistently the most optimistic are mike and the guys who write me from death row.

the people who have the most to worry about, the most stress and the most reason to complain, do the least whining.

as mikey once said, "once you've lost everything, you're free to gain anything"

there was one letter from dennis on death row @ san quentin. he was telling me about the "cooler", which is the hole essentially, but they blast the air conditioning all day every day and it becomes much colder than comfort would allow. he said he couldn't write a long letter cause his hands freeze up after a couple pages. then he told me "but i remain sound in knowing that life ain't over 'til it's over... I'm at full strength and powered up spiritually, mentally, and physically fit to keep pushing lifeward with peace, love and harmony."

if only we could all have the ability to, in the face of any stress, in the face of any bullshit, keep up an attitude like that.

apparently i do as he says

another week night, another flick.

after a jaunt in the caddy, out to white spot to howl in gut-splitting bliss and ingest plates full of hangover-soothing grease with the nelken, john juan and erick, drove home and john juan came by with the jarhead dvd. gut-wrenching. even though jake was runnin around half-naked through the whole thing, still gut-wrenching. i shed a few tears.

there's a scene where they play something in the way by nirvana... incredible.

it shook me. good flick.

best feel good movie of all time?

so the con and i were arguing over which movie was the best feel good movie of all time yesterday.

both of us, during our teen years, unbeknownst to each other, used to watch major league over and over and memorize the entire script (we quite often have conversations consisting of nothing but major league lines). my very strong opinion is that major league, the original, not the second or third, is the very best feel good movie of all time.

c'mon, bob euker yellin' , "the indians win it, the indians win it! oh my god the indians win it! i can't believe it!!"? you don't get any better feely-gooods than that, kids.

but yesterday michael dropped a bomb. he said he now considers rocky IV to be the best feel good movie of all time. i told him i hadn't seen it, which was met with a "WHAAAT?" and then he yelled out in the joint, "she hasn't seen rocky IV!!" and a chorus of career criminals gasped in unison.

he says, "so whatre you doing tonight?" and thinking i'd just gotten off easy, i tell him i have some work and shizz to take care of. "WRONG" he says, "let's try this again. what're you doing tonight?"

"i dunno, mike, what am i doing?"

"you're going to blockbuster and renting rocky IV. one more time, what're you doing tonight?"

"i'm going to blockbuster and renting rocky IV"

"atta girl"

knowing full well he's going to call today and the first thing he's going to say is, "what'd you do last night?", i went out and rented rocky IV and somewhere in there, someone asked, "hey, wanna get shitfaced?" and, since my new philosophy is fuck mondays, we got a 24.

so, i got slammed last night and watched rocky IV, which, btw, is nothing but musical interludes and some fuckin weird robot playing strange old music from antiquity.

but the end was awesome, i will give you that, the speech, the we-can-all-live-in-fucking-harmony-screw-the-iron-wall speech was the bomb shizzle.

but i still maintain, i will until the day i die, that major league is the best film of the feel-good variety, EVER. now, how to break it to mikey...

another coupla years of this and we're gonna hafta start feeding chow-chow real dog food, kids.

fuck mondays

so i i get up and saunter, all pajama'd into my office this wonderfully sunny almost-spring morning a little giddy still from the 1:15 hr phone call from mikey yesterday which ended with an "i love you times infinity" from him, a little bounce in my step, grin on my face, lookin forward to a new week.

then all hell breaks loose. my work web site's domain name isn't working for some reason and the host company tech isn't around and if google indexes my site while it's down we could lose all rank. i have to drive john juan somewhere and i may have to drive becky some places, and a couple of the places i have to go require cell phones off, so i can't even accept calls from the hosting company if/when they ever freakin get back to me. my brother and business partner is out all day too so i have to dump the whole pile on carrie, who accepts the challenge with grace (thanks carrie) but all i gotta say is fuck mondays.

soliciting your help

by now all of you are familiar with my very cherished friend mike, who i've known for a decade, but who's been in prison in ohio for nearing 3 yrs now. i got some potentially awesome news from him today.

mike was sentenced to 9 yrs, and the minimum sentence for what he did is 3 yrs under ohio sentencing law, as a first time offender he was supposed to get the minimum. so he talked with someone for the past two years about putting in an appeal and as far as mike understood this person had sent in the papers. yesterday they passed a bill in the ohio supreme court that said the judges over-sentencing was unconstitutional and anyone who had an appeal in based on over-sentencing was automatically given a re-sentencing hearing. so mike called this person and told them about this and this person said that they had forgotten to put in the papers. IF THEY HAD, he would have been taken to county jail TODAY and given a resentencing hearing and his sentence would have been reduced to 3 yrs, most likely. which would mean in a couple of months after his hearing, he'd be out on time served. i told him it has to be retroactive, that if they ruled HIS sentence unconstitutional that they SHOULD hear his appeal. so im going to look into it and see if it's retroactive.

if any of you, anywhere have any info or know of any place i can find info on this, i will be forever in your debt. i love 'im and regardless of whether or not i can see him, i would like to know that he is free. he's a good man.

note: appeals of this nature cite the blakely vs. washington case heard in washington supreme court in summer 2004 i believe.
