Hey, yea I said there was going to be more, so here's the update...

Yea so I didn't read the book she was promoting. Do people read anymore, I mean short of blogs and such. Yea, well I did "read" the article, and she's talking about eating because that's what is important. We all live this life in high gear, 'cause that will get us ahead, or quicker into the grave, whatever. We work our entire lives to get to that point where we can slow down a little and enjoy retirement. Who the hell can retire anymore, who wants to?

But what do I care, you can do what you will, and if you die from some industrial disease hell it ain't my problem. Yea, that is the attitude you have to have to survive in this dog eat dog (I've seen that, it ain't pretty) world. A long time ago, or so it seems I was on the treadmill, shooting for fame and fortune, and ran with all the trappings of the rising star lifestyle. I did more drugs, drank more, and pissed on whoever I felt like, 'cause I was destined for something big. Then I broke down, and somewhere in there I broke. I had friends then, not anymore, I had money then, not anymore. I live in a shit hole trailer in a trailer park in a suburb of Rochester, NY. I may not even be here for long, as I can't even find a job to pay my bills, and I am not sure when they will cut my power, but I am sure it will be soon. Shit I live in this shit hole, and yet, here I am trying to buy local and eat well, and have dropped all or most all the bad habits, and nothing good has come from it, right.

Sorry I had to light up a cig for a second there, yea I still have a few bad habits, so what.

So here's the deal, I first grabbed up this story because I am a big fan of Jefferson Airplane (or Airplane as some of us call them), or more specifically Grace Slick, but that's just a teen memory thing, see. So Then I read the headline and see that this Alice woman is talking about eating local and farmers markets, and all that other stuff I try to preach about, with much less success than her. She is getting somewhere, because she is published, probably has a degree too, well whatever. Yea I could have had a degree, or two, but I was a dumb ass about that when I was shooting shit into my brain. But you should take this slick chic's advice and start with something. Start with just something, because it is the doing that matters.

Well kids that's all I got for you today, it's late for me, and I got to get these old bones to bed now 'cause I got more stuff to do tomorrow. Maybe I will get that job tomorrow and then I can stay here a while, or maybe they will shoot me down one more peg, who cares, not anyone but me.

Peace
James
