The decision to take time off from school felt really wrong after I’d withdrawn from my classes. The day after, I felt like I’d just signed up for a future as the wife of a guy who went to “trade school” and who thinks Joe the Plumber got a bum deal.
Now I’m loving my unscheduled life! I’ve lived most of it not really tethered to anything or any particular place. I love being able to get in my car or get a flight somewhere when I want to and just taste whatever location I feel like exploring. Sort of like a nomad or something.
But I don’t like the word nomad. As soon as I say it, if I close my eyes, I can smell the black guy with dreads who was always in Little 5 points in front of my favorite pizza place. Swarming around him would be 3 kids, one dragging a puppy/worm motel along on a leash. Weed and dryer sheets…that’s what they smelled like all the time. Days when he’d come to park his crew on the patio in front of the restaurant..sometimes he’d have his hair pulled up and you could see the tattoo on the back of his neck, “Nomad”. Yep..neck tattoos and limiting your self-concept to the term nomad spells unemployment and eventually a thrill death courtesy of some bored teenage white boys in the alley you call home.
I’m going to make the UK next on my list to visit…everything just seems done just enough there..and well. EVERYTHING. Especially the journalism! Take a look at these links:

Now which one is better?
I kind of feel sorry for George though. Why is he acting like he’s never had cocaine and a hooker with a dick at the same time?!! Somethings wrong…it’s like he doesn’t even know better. The animals have PETA. The guy cock swallowers for hire don’t have anyone and neither does Boy George really ..so I’m stepping up!!
George…don’t hit the fags for hire PLEASE!!! Weren’t u selling Paris Hilton t-shirts or something?!! We get it…you’re miserable! There’s lots of things u can do instead of battering girly, Norweigen boys!! I guess being broke hurts..but I want to help.
You need cash…lots of it..really fast! Here’s your 1.5 year plan…As soon as u get out of jail, act straight, tell some girl with low self-esteem u want to marry her, pretend to have found Jesus. Bill O’Reilly will probably adopt u and more importantly..have u on his show! Write a book about your conversion and come out with a gospel album of negro spirituals…that will land u on Oprah. By the time u save up enough cash…you can start being yourself again. All u have to do is get caught with a tranny while wearing a “Yes on Prop 8″ shirt in the parking lot of Rick Warren’s church. I’ll be your ghost publicist throughout the whole thing!!
Here are a few hints…not just for him, because I feel like it’s good, constructive advice…share it with a loved one ;P
If you’re a fat, cracked out, Irish, gender-bending, washed up 80′s pop singer that has to buy his boyfriends…
- Get one of those fingerpad access things for your computers- Manwhores aren’t choir boys..they can’t be trusted around things like wallets, cell phones, your wedding ring, and definately not your computer. If you were once famous and people are still willing to take a personal day from work so they can be the winning Ebay bidder for the tin foil you smoked some meth on…please believe me when I say that your computer is like Christmas, Hanukkah, and whatever’s under the seat on the Oprah show this time of year all rolled into one!
- Make sure it’s HIV negative BEFORE u put your mouth on it! A condom is good..but offering an extra $100 for a Home Access test and being allowed to listen to the results on the phone is better!
- Doing a few lines then going to the grocery store for just cigarettes and milk and having to possibly wait in line behind a chick with a month’s worth of groceries and screaming kids is the default recipe for a mood swing…a bad one.
- Pay the bitch AND tip BEFORE you bring out the “extras”; talk about how you’ll pay double the next time you see them. They’re less likely to get disgruntled if things get “different” and more likely to drop the charges once the welts and bruises go away if they know you’re going to be a good reg and not just some coked out sadist loser.
- Stay away from the Scandinavian boys. Everyone knows that they’re a good substitute for an attention starved organic female..drama lust included. Get yourself a fafafine! Not only can they take a punch better..they’ll probably cook a meal for u after the rough stuff!! Hey it was good enough for Marlon Brando…
Ok..that’s all I can think of right now!! Feel free to comment; eave some of ur own tips if you have experience!!
