I have an eye for troubled women and they have an eye for me. I'm not sure I'd have it any other way. A pretty good headshrinker told me that I'd probably be bored to death by a healthy well adjusted woman. My problem is that I'm not nearly as fucked up as I used to be. Troubled women see me as just their type. Then they get a little closer and find out that I'm actually struggling to get better and boy is that a turn off. They're looking for some hopeless case that they can fix up and I'm not all that hopeless. I'm not all better either. I'm like a feral dog: neither wild nor tame. The coyotes in heat want no part of me and neither do the well groomed show dogs.
I live in a trailer in California. I used to work for a bus company that is operated by a very famous large orange bridge. I used to drink like crazy, but I don't anymore. I had some help quitting. I used to know how to construct a sentence use a comma etc. That was a long time ago. Me and Jesus got a good thing going.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night. I needed to start this blog because I was posting too much at other people's blogs. This is mostly a personal blog about art and culture, but make no mistake I am a confirmed lefty. I have no use for racism, sexism or homophobia. I like unions. I don't like capitalism. I like poetry. I love ukuleles.

I read this early this morning. I needed some coffee...bad. Not necessarily to comment.... but the sad realization that I get this... I really get it.
The reason these losers, of which you speak, are on the market in their 50's.... is because I divorced them in my 20's, 30's and 40's.
I, am a shit magnet, of the most extraordinary levels.

The old line that Groucho had about not wanting to join any club that would have him for a member comes to mind.
