“Above all else I want the truth.”

That’s a quote of mine.

I can’t recall when I first started saying it, or when I first allowed it to appear in print. It’s something I feel in the cells of my being.

Tonight I’m going to see Rob Zombie’s Halloween, thanks to an anonymous gift.

Rob Zombie has promised to bring Michael Meyers back to the scary mother fucker status he was before poor old Michael Meyers jumped the shark. Rob Zombie is cool that way. Rob Zombie preserves the faith.

The truth is that Michel Meyers is a psychopath, and we should be scared of him. Michael is violently out of control, and he doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong. Be afraid, right?

If you haven’t seen An Inconvenient Truth, make some time available to see it, because Al Gore has done for the Earth what Rob Zombie has done for the movie Halloween. He brings consciousness of our planet into the status of cool. Sort of like before poor old environmentalism jumped the shark. Al Gore is cool that way.

The tag line for An Inconvenient Truth is that there is nothing scarier than the truth.

I like that.

This is a clip from An Inconvenient Truth.

I was driving Truck across America. I was at a truck stop one day, and
filling up my tanks. A cattle truck was next to me. As I stood holding the
nozzle, listening to the diesel fill the tanks, I stared at the cattle truck
without thinking.

Hey, man, a cow said to me.
Huh?
Hey - M A N ?
Can you get us out of here?

Of course it’s a crazy day dream.

The cattle truck smelled of shit, and death.

I thought about that. I’d seen cows playing, and sleeping all across America,
and now I was watching them being carted off to slaughter.

I gave up meat on the spot.

Then one night I was driving alone on a long stretch of unlit road. A truck
pulled up next to me with thousands of chickens in cages.

Hey man, the chickens were saying. Can you get us out of here?

Then another truck pulled up alongside of me. There were thousands more
chickens.

Any delusions I’d been harboring that eating chicken was vegetarian was
pretty much shot to hell. I’ve been animal free since then.

On the down side, Hitler was a vegetarian. So what the fuck, you know?

Hey.

I understand the notion of Writer’s Block. The persistence of this
notion is tenacious. However it’s pernicious, and I just don’t buy into it.

Here’s what I mean.

When writing, there’s the notion that one will write to say the
things which need to be said. The implication is that the thoughts,
feelings, and experiences to be written have already
manifested themselves, and have already asserted themselves as
full blown ideas, come alive like Venus on the half shell.

A fair enough conception. It’s a rather common experience.

I just insist on seeing things differently.
Duh.

Most everything has an opposite; what then is another
way to look at this?

Well, one alternative, and this is the working model from which I
experience, is that a writer writes to find out what is to
be said. Rather than writing to say what is known, a writer
writes to learn. Not a new idea, nor is it original with me.

What is to be said will be found from the writing.

With that in mind, there will be no lack of inspiration. The
inspiration comes from the writing itself.

There’s more to it, but that’s what I’ve
scraped from underneath my finger nails.

Quit fucking being lazy, get to the business at hand.

P.S. You’ll still need a few more communications before the whine of being “stalked” can begin to gain traction. Cheers!

You ain’t lived ‘tiil you have a stalker.
Now I have two.

There is this cocksucker who stalks a friend of mine.

She’s sort of a friend. I know of her. She knows of me.
We’ve corresponded.

Like that.

She writes. She has a website. She’s a public person. Some of her friends have been stalked by this scumbag who beats up Women.

Now he’s found me.

I’m glad he’s here.
I’ve been waiting.

Your life has changed.
Forever.

Jim Knipfel has written
about how he was
going to
a job interview

He was writing,
at the time,
in a little paper,
and he wrote
a column about
his upcoming job interview

he wrote about the guys he was
going to interview
with, and he called them
both
a couple of greasy bastards

They read the column
He never got the job

Jim Knipfel is now nearly blind

He has written several books
He has people who love him
He likes to drink, smoke cigarettes, and fuck his girl friend

My favorite book of his is called

Ruining it for everybody

Jim wrote his truth about the guys he was going to interview with,
and he has never compromised.

If you write,
let
this
be a lesson to you
