How to Be Better Than You Already Are

Published by

at February 23, 2006 in Stories. Closed

A fine piece of literature was beholden at this dime store that had become a dollar store. It was a book on how to mold yourself into a better person so I thumbed through it for a grain of salt. The cashier saw me looking at the book, walked over, and grabbed it out of my hands. She thumbed through it like it was cash.

"Dammit."

"Huh?"

"I put a note in here from my tommorrow boyfriend so that my backup boyfriend wouldn’t see it and now it’s gone."

"What’s a tommor-"

"Nevermind. Dammit. FFFFFF-Why can’t people leave shit alone?"

And then she ran down the aisle of office supplies and thumbed through all the coloring books that were only a dollar. She was creating quite a pile while her register was building a good line of people.

One customer finally said, "Hellooo?"

"Hold on! dammit." She thumbed through a Noah’s Ark book, grabbed something, ran back showing me the note for assurance and then ran-walked to the register.

The customer thought she was pretty so he wasn’t mad anymore and asked, "Are these batteries any good? Cause they’re only a dollar."

"I don’t know. Do you want ‘em?"

"I guess. They’re only a dollar."

Then, I saw two guys get out of different cars in the lot and sensed that one was tomorrow and one was backup and they didn’t look like dollar store buyers.

And then, I don’t know how, but the girl made herself look 80-years-old.

She was brilliant. And flighty.

I had a great night last night. I did a show at the Ars Nova Theater called Automatic Vaudeville. I like doing these variety shows. It’s cool to hang out with other performers. On the bill was a band called Sin Destroyer, At Least It’s Pink, the VIDS, Neal Medlyn, Dirty Martini, and Billy Willing.

They do you well there in the backstage: pizza, m&m’s (both kinds), beers, carrots, pringles. If I was doing magic instead of singing I would have had pizza and beer. Guess what card you’re thinking of? See? I love pizza that much!

This card trick by Richard Shaw takes a while but it’s fantastic.

I played two songs and went back to cage, as they say. After the show I went to meet my lady at Show, where the vaudeville is high class, as they say in Grapevine.

Victoria Secrets had a party at Show with lots of dancing ladies on pedestals. There was a velvet rope outside but I didn’t see anyone corralled in the cold waiting to have something awesome happen when they got their drinks.

Una had already done her trapeze act, so we went upstairs where there were more pretty ladies and then I saw the great Axl Rose! Holy shit!

"I saw you in ‘93 at Texas Stadium. You were awesome."

And that was it. I couldn’t talk anymore. Until I had some champagne. Then, I was back talking to him about Mr. Brownstone and asking him about Chinese Democracy and then he told us about his first time in NY, hanging out with Sean Penn and how surreal it was, and about Stephanie Seymour and how she fucked it all up and then this guy was doing a magic trick with me and him and kept calling him Ax because he had no idea. I met Axl Rose!

I had a good time in LA. I visited the La Brea Tar Pits this time. There’s a wall of wolf skulls. Or jawbones. I can’t remember except that it was immense. Nonetheless, they have a wealth of fossils there.
Superlative to the museums I visited is still the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Oh, how I love to see the vision of one person come to fruition! There I caught a movie trailer that the founder was showing in order to acquire the funds to make a complete movie. It was a waterfall with some piano in the background but at one point just the waterfall. I love quiet nature videos. I tried to make one in Ireland but my hand shook too much as I was driving. I hope Mr. Wilson gets his funding.
I did a show with Hard N Phirm. One of the guys in that group is Chris Hardwick, who hosted Singled Out and was physically bothered in House of 1000 Corpses. They did a Tron rock opera not then but at another time. The other fellow, Mark, has no sense of smell. Really nice fellows.

Hard N Phirm

The other guy in the show was Mike O’Connell, who was very funny. If Rip Taylor were a Kentucky colonel and enjoyed the company of a lady and a glass of white then you’d be hanging out with Mike.

Mike

I went over my time again. This is twice in the comedy. The first time was awful. This time not so bad. Usually, the sound guy tells you “One more” meaning “you have time for one more song.” I usually tell the sound guy to tell me “10 minutes” meaning “you have 10 more minutes” and I gauge it from there. On the comedy stage, however, there’s a light. And when the light comes on it means “wrap it up.”
When I was in Y-Indian Guides, my name was Brave Wolf. Now it would be Dumbhead Who Can’t See Light. Pardon my French.
I enjoy LA. Read City of Quartz.

Old Shows. Good Times.

Not only does he cover Elvis songs but he performs original songs to Elvis, including “Elvis on Terrorism” and “Don’t Do Drugs”.
