Rivers, Marais des Cygnes.

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 18:10:54 -0400

I was driving home from my friends Don and Kim's new house in Fort Scott and I passed over the Marais des Cygnes river a couple of times.

I always wondered what it meant and how to pronounce it correctly.

It means , Married Swans, and is pronounced Mare de zeen.

Had fun down there. Fished a farm pond owned by the banksters and caught alot of fish. I kept 8 really big Crappie. Gonna filet them tommorrow. The pond is next to my friends land in SE Kansas. Allthough the land is kind of flat, it is still a beautiful place to be.

I once saw a white 4 wheel drive pickup drive off a cliff into the Blue river. It landed head first onto a rock ledge under the water. There is a deep channel after that and it has pretty big Catfish in there.

No one was killed but one guy broke his arm. Had to be pulled up the cliff on a gurney and there were limbs and roots sticking out everywhere. I felt sorry for him! It was on the news that night. It was also before cell phones so I had to drive to burger king to call 911.

I found a song about the Marais des Cygnes by a pretty country singer. I'd like to share it with you, it's good.

An Update to an earlier pose!

The business of making energy is only the energy of making business.

" A viable and free eaergy alternative."

All I got to say is...........................nothin'...........

A lonely stranger .

It's friday and time to have a little, just a little, fun.

I have decided to become a liar! Liar! Pants on fire like Jim Morrison in the Miami heat.!

My first lie is , the sun is just the moon at night! Yes that is a lie?

Jennifer is my wife cause I'm single and I don't have a girlfriend, so it can be whoever I want. Fuck you Julie! Fuck you Amanda! F U Nanatehay!

F U Trig, got Tina's number! Wait, now that is a lie.

Anyway, this post is'nt really about me becoming a liar. I'm looking to be an artist of somekind, like writer or beer drinker extrodinaire! All I have are my pictures right now and here we go, how low can you go? Can you go down low?

This is an American bald Eagle I stole from a front yard close to where I work. It's made out of a tree and my chainsaw has a silencer so no one even knew I was there. It is sitting on my patio right now, honest. Stealing is cool and free, if you don't post about it!

My friend Jim and Lucky the cat. He's the one that crashed and burned on the new red scooter. They moved him to Lincoln Neb for some reason , I pray that he will be fine, and Lucky too.

Artwork my friend Bob did for me in 1999, when I did my first record. I miss that dude, even if he was Mr. Furious!

A rainy day in Gary Indiana. Lie.........West bottoms in good ol KCMO!

Terry my dog, who I love dearly! Truth.

The old Kaiser Erection building, connected to KC Nuts and Bolts. Such cool old buildings and ,evidently people trusted each other back then. Twas a beautiful world. Jeff's grandad owned that business, I helped them when it fell apart and they had to move everything. It was sadness.

A flint hills sunset on a beautiful hot summer evening. I like this one alot.

I must close now, the space gods won't allow me any more.

To Jennifer, I sometimes feel like a ghost, an entity that still has business with the living. You and only you can help me pass over. Until then, I'm just a lonely stranger.

American Spirit, have a beverage!

I have a problem. I'm sick of negative people bringing me down!

Listen, I'll soon be 48 years old . I cried when I turner 40.

I did not have a good attitude.

Most of my life, I was preoccupied with my own mortality and death.

Fuck it!

I wasted alot of time being bummed out!

My so called friends did not help me!

I have to piss.

I'm done pissing.

I, and, you, should learn to be thankful for the life you have been blessed with!

Do not waste time being hateful to the people that have done you wrong!

Forgive them, you don't have to hang out with them.

Stand up for yourself.

Stand up for others that deserve help!

I have alot to be thankful for, I just don't always Recognise!

My friend Ken, who I just met, said " People just need to figure out how to enjoy their lives more."

I agree wholeheartedly!

Appreciate today, and have a better Tomorromw.

U KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

Forget New York, you've got Gary!

I never have been to New York or Gary Indiana but I now would like to do a video comparison of the two places and see for myself where I would rather go on vacation. Come along and enjoy the ride.

And now let's hear from New York!

As you can clearly see, Gary wins hands down! Just for the shopping alone!!!

And there is no high five's in Gary, no metrocard stealing either! Motherfucker, I don't see how anyone could choose New York over Gary Indiana. Plus you can ride the rails to a real city, Chicago. Home of Da Bears.

Ahhhhh Gary, I leave my heart to you, home of the Jackson 5 and the Gary Southshore Railcats.

Peace Out!!!!!
