You're On the Air With the Jazz Doctor
The gravel chewing velvet voiced Rebel Bowling Alley Don Juan come 2 A.M. radio announcer, chain smoking insomnia, and spinning vinyl smooth jazz old school, lips caressing every cheesy winking word, finger-points his Dollar General wisdom like dice against a gold framed black light velvet Elvis.

"Hey Yous Cats"
That was the "Tom Cat Five. That, yous cats, is the smoothest extremest nimble cerebellum numbing Zen jazz this side of a circle. You got the doctor, on smoooooothe Jazz 105," he barely growls the words through his gigantic yellowed coffee-teethe, as he coughs up a piece of lung he thought he'd had removed the year before, and wipes the saliva off of his face with his remaining dignity. "Babies, I got me a jones for some Miles, here's a little thing called 'Bitches Brew' you dig?"

The saddest factoid was he was not even born yet when Saigon fell, and Billy Joel hit number one, singing about a war he'd never been too.
"The tired thinking man's music, babies." He groaned.
For some unknown reason, later on that reefer imbued morning after a double shift at 5 A.M he says, "Hey all you zombies out there, doin' this job is kinda like herding cats." and then he choked up a wheezy cigarette laugh and spun a cut from Mother Focus, called "Oh, I Need a Bathroom."
I only have one question: What kind of an asshole tries to herd cats?

From a Krabbe Desk
Writing, for me, is always just that. At the outset of each day, I spend a certain amount of time firing up the head, and sorting through what comes. In this process I have kept journal pages since I was seven years old. Hundreds of thousands of pages, and most of them, written before the word blog was anything more than a misspelling. So here I will do my meandering and here I will keep my journal from this day forward (until I stop). ...more
