1995...NEW JOB,HURT BACK, NEW PUPPY

At the end of 1994 I got a job with a company that sells
books, videos,and music..I was the book department manager..I along with all the other people hired went to Midland(middle of fucking winter)to train for 6-weeks at their training store..It was a pain in the ass..we had to stay in motels, eat in resturants, and get trained by 18 year olds...Not a day at the beach..Then at the beginning of 1995 we started opening the new store in Waco..I was responsible for the placement of every book in my department..where each section would go..end caps,magazines,what newspapers to order,it was a lot of responsiblity but that didn't bother me..it took us over 6 weeks to get ready and in that time I made a disturbing discovery..the manager and assistant manager were a bunch of fucking looney tunes..the female was so rude to people treating people like shit..for some reason people don't treat me like that..I think I give off a aura of 'I will bitch slap you if you so much as think of talking shit to me.' So I didn't have that problem..but they changed their minds, they argued with each other ,they frealed out at the drop of a hat..I had worked at the other book place under such extreme circumstances that nothing rattled me...but I could see that further on down the line these two assholes were going to self distruct..each one was trying to get the other one fired and instead of working together for a common goal(get the fucking store opened on time) they were more interested in fucking with the other one..dipshits...The store opens,we have lots of customers and my department was 100% ready and got all kinds of compliments from the bosses that came for the opening..I (if I can toot my own horn)rocked..I worked all kinds of shifts being the manager...and had picked a great assistant manager and had some pretty good employees, and a few that were enough to make me want to drink again..but I knew after what I had been through in San Francisco..I could handle these guys...and then.....one fatefull night..I heard a 'pop'....I was cleaning the book department up for closing and was standing on the bottom shelf to put a book up on the top shelf and stretched...and felt a pinch in my left thigh and heard a 'pop'...hurt like a bitch...but when I got down it was fine..thought I had just pulled something..so finished up...drove home..and went right to bed as I had closed up but needed to be there at 8am to open up...alarm goes off and I get up ..set my feet on the floor, stand and fell right on my face...I had SUCH a pain in my leg..I couldn't put any weight on it..it hurt like a mother fucker..but knew I had to go to work..store had only been open about 6 weeks...so hobbled around got ready and drove to work...I had to work 12 hours that day...I mentioned that I had hurt my leg the night before at work to the store manager..she was like 'uh huh...hmm..too bad'..and that was it..I thought well, it's only a strain and it will get better..but the next day it was worse..so went to work and said..I have to go see a dr.about this..I'm in horrible pain and can't put any weight on my leg...she said the big bosses are coming in..go on your lunch hour..very sympathetic boss..so on my lunch hour I went to little clinic by work..they took xrays..nothing..said to make an apointment with a real dr..the 3rd day of work I was in so much pain I just sat in middle of floor at house and wept..I am one ole tough broad, and I do not weep at pain..ever...ever ...ever...so I said fuck this..called in and said..I am seeing a dr.I can't stand this and if you can't handle it..tough shit..I never went back to work again..The Dr. did mri, cat scan and said I needed an operation that the old disc had crushed the disc below it and had to go in and clean it out..first mistake...so that is operation one...it didn't get better..it got worse...they tried tens units..drugs off all kinds..went to another dr. he said...need another operation...that was in 1996..it got worse...had another operation....it got worse..finally they sent me to The Heart of Texas Back Institute in Plano...he figured out that when I heard the pop it was my spine rocking forward and then rocking back and catching a nerve...I also had another nerve that was pinched and had been from the first operation..in 1989...fuckity fuck fuck fuck...He wanted to do a 360.. they build a cage around your spine..go in the back put in screws..go around the front and put bars that encase the spine and attach it to the screws...plus they were going to un pinch the nerves...well, folks..If i thought it hurt before...I hadn't seen 'nuffin' yet...that nerve came out a raw living wound...it was so damaged and so fucked up that today I still get messages crossed from my brain to my right leg...My brain will say..'ok,we're going to start walking now...left foot go...left foot..ok..going...right foot go..right foot...what? go where?.dance?.what?'..and I fall on my ass..The operation took over 7 hours and they couldn't finish it..my spine is crunchy..it started to crumble in places where they needed to screw in screws...so they went front and back and didn't get to finish it..but I came out of it in so much new pain..I thought about taking allllll of the pills at once..but that is in 1996..it's still 1995...I am recovering from first surgery..and not being able to work..collecting workman's comp...and slowly but surely..getting hooked on pain pills.. the only good thing to come out of 1995..was Nate...my girlfriend Gail said she had a liter of pits did I want one..I was down to 2 cats..Chuck and Al...so said, sure..will keep me out of trouble and dogs are good campanions...I would drive over there every day and see him..after a week I would bring him home for a few hours..I should have known I did not get the 'pick of the liter'when she would call and say...'come get your asshole dog'...she had the mother and the puppies in a wash room off the kitchen..and all the other puppies would sleep and play but Nate would go to the door and bark like a mother fucker until she would let him out..at 4 weeks the puppies had ripped the mothers breast to shreds..they were all so huge and aggressive,but Nate was a hand full.I had named him after Nate Newton who at the time was the only Cowboy that hadn't been arrested for drug possession..and I kinda liked ole Nate Newton..so I brought the little asshole home...where he grew up 'pussy whipped'...Chuck and Al were full grown tom cats...they were not afraid of that little puppy..pit or not..they beat the shit out of him every morning,noon and night..he learned to love them and they learned to love him...but even when he was full grown 110 lbs..he never messed with them...they could still kick his ass...One morning I head a grunt..and Nate came in from the kitchen and Chuck was hanging from his cheek...he had bit all the way through his cheek and wouldn't let go..now Nate could have killed that cat in a New York City second, but he wouldn't hurt him...so I had to pry Chuck off his cheek...neither made a noise...but Nate never tried to eat any of their cat food again either...he was one great dog...

TEXAS RANKS HIGH IN GAYS WITH KIDS

Study: State is 7th in percentage of couples raising children.
Houston..Despite Texas'conservative reputation, gay couples living here are more likely to have children than in almost any other place in the country, according to a study published in The Gay and Lesbian Atlas.
The study, based on the most recent U.S. census data and first published in 2004, found that San Antonio has the highest percentage of gay couples raising children in the nation.Houston is fourth, and the Fort Worth-Arlington area is fifth.
As a state, Texas ranked seventh.(holy shit..be still my heart)
The study looked at children who are being raised by at least one biological parent, as well as children who were adopted by same-sex couples.
The study found that minority same-sex couples are more likely to have children, and Texas' large Hispanic population could partially explain why Texas has so many gay and lesbian couples raising children, said Gary J. Gates, who co-authored the Atlas study.
Another possible explanation is that compared with their hetrosexual counterparts, gay and lesbian couples tend to be "urban pioneers," he said.They are more likely to live in racially and ethnically diverse neighborhoods that have more college-educated residents,older housing, higher crime rates or higher property values,accoring to the census research.
Nationally, about 25 percent of gay couples have children living in their homes.And generally, same-sex couples and their children live in areas where other people also have kids, Mr. Gates said.
The children of gay couples consist of two groups:those born from a parent's preious hetero-sexual relationship and those who were adopted or whose parents started families through reproduction technology, such as artificial insemination.
Experts say there have been other "gayby booms"in the last 25 years. The first came in the 1980's when lesbian couples took advantage of new reproductive technology to have children.The second came during the 1990's, when gay men began to adopt, said Beth Teper, executive director of the San Francisco-based organization Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere.
Mitchell Katine, a lawyer who helped overturn the state's sodomy law, said there is a clear difference between the state's conservative politics and its more liberal social practices.
However,there are still social obstacles facing gay couples planning to adopt, Mr.Katine said.
Many gay couples avoid going through the more conservative courts of Harris Country for adoptions, Mr. Katine said.He went through a San Antonio judge to adopt his two children.

NUMBERS PUT CITIES ON GAY AND LESBIAN ATLAS.

Texas is third in states with the most same-sex households.
Houston's Montrose neighborhood is 10th among urban areas in the number of same-sex households.
Dallas'Oak Lawn area ranks eight among neighborhoods with the highest concentration of gay male couples.
Among all households, not just same-sex couples, Texas ranks sixth in the highest concentration of same-sex couples with children.
Houston is fifth among big cities with high concentrations of same-sex couples with children; Austin-San Marcos is seventh among all households with children: and San Antonio is first among same-sex households with children.
Texas ranks 3rd in the concentration of Hispanic same-sex couples and second when only Hispanic same-sex couples are considered..


Texas.....I salute you....heehaw...

..............JEST 'FORE CHRISTMAS..............

Ok, picture Jackiesue,12,with titties,can't get around them titties,with little Lord Fauntleroy curls, pantaloons,cap and barefoot.At the Christmas pagent where I got up on stage and recited this poem...word for word..acting my skinny ass off,like I was Sarah Bernhart staring on broadway. I even took little bows and blew kisses..jeez..I was such a ham..



Jest 'Fore Christmas
by Eugene Field (1850-1895)

Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
Mighty glad I ain't a girl---ruther be a boy,
Without them sashes, curls, an' things that 's worn by Fauntleroy!
Love to chawnk green apples an' go swimmin' in the lake---
Hate to take the castor-ile they give for bellyache!
'Most all the time, the whole year round, there ain't no flies on me,
But jest 'fore Christmas I 'm as good as I kin be!

Got a yeller dog named Sport, sick him on the cat;
First thing she knows she does n't know where she is at!
Got a clipper sled, an' when us kids goes out to slide,
'Long comes the grocery cart, an' we all hook a ride!
But sometimes when the grocery man is worrited an' cross,
He reaches at us with his whip, an' larrups up his hoss,
An' then I laff an' holler, "Oh, ye never teched me!"
But jest 'fore Christmas I 'm as good as I kin be!

Gran'ma says she hopes that when I git to be a man,
I 'll be a missionarer like her oldest brother, Dan,
As was et up by the cannibuls that lives in Ceylon's Isle,
Where every prospeck pleases, an' only man is vile!
But gran'ma she has never been to see a Wild West show,
Nor read the Life of Daniel Boone, or else I guess she 'd know
That Buff'lo Bill an' cowboys is good enough for me!
Excep' jest 'fore Christmas, when I 'm good as I kin be!

And then old Sport he hangs around, so solemnlike an' still,
His eyes they seem a-sayin': "What's the matter, little Bill?"
The old cat sneaks down off her perch an' wonders what's become
Of them two enemies of hern that used to make things hum!
But I am so perlite an' tend so earnestly to biz,
That mother says to father: "How improved our Willie is!"
But father, havin' been a boy hisself, suspicions me
When, jest 'fore Christmas, I 'm as good as I kin be!

For Christmas, with its lots an' lots of candies, cakes, an' toys,
Was made, they say, for proper kids an' not for naughty boys;
So wash yer face an' bresh yer hair, an' mind yer p's and q's,
An' don't bust out yer pantaloons, and don't wear out yer shoes;
Say "Yessum" to the ladies, and "Yessur" to the men,
An' when they 's company, don't pass yer plate for pie again;
But, thinkin' of the things yer 'd like to see upon that tree,
Jest 'fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!

MY HEROINE..........JULIE WILSON

Yes folks, my new heroine...is a 14-year old girl with freckles and braces.She is into liberal politics and popular movie stars.One of these subjects got her questioned by two secret service agents and taught her a lesson about living under the Bush Regime.That was the results of her posting unAmerican type images on her MySpace web page.Under the words "Kill Bush," Julia had posted a cartoon like photo-collage of a knife stabbing the hand of President George(aka Forest Gump) Bush. This was one of some other images she had used to decorate an anti-Bush Web page.She moderated this page on the social networking Web site MySpace.
Federal law prohibits making true threats against the president, and Julia and her parents say what she did was wrong, but her parents are upset that federal agents questioned a child at school with out her parents being present.Plus First Amendment lawyers question whether the Secret Service might have overreacted just a tad to a 14-year old's comments of a Web site that is for casual socializing.
This is what went down...Two Secret Service agents arrived at the Wilson home on Wednesday and told Mrs.Kirstie Wilson that they wished to speak to her daughter about threats she had made to the President on her MySpace site.At the time Julia was in molecular biology(bet Bush couldn't pronounce molecular)and didn't want to take her out of class and she would make sure that Julia came right home from school so they could talk to her.She asked them to come back in an hour and they left.Then Mrs. Wilson text messaged her telling her to come straight home from school as 'there were two men from the Secret Service that want to talk to you. Apparently you made some death threats against President Bush. Don't worry you're not going to jail or anything like that buat they take these things very seriously these days.'
"Are you serious!?!/ omg. Am I in a lot of trouble" Julia replied. Then Mrs. Wilson called her husband. While they were talking, she received another text message from her daughter:"They took me out of class." Julia said later it was a 15-20 minute interview.Agents asked her about her fathers job and her Social Security number.They also asked her about her MySpace page she had created last year as an 8th-grader.
"I told them I just really don't agree with Bush's politics," Julia said."I don't have any plans of harming Bush in any way.I'm very peaceful, I just don't like Bush."
Most of the groups belongs to are fan clubs for movie stars like Jake Gyllenhaal and Ewan McGregor.The group that got her into trouble was called something like "People who want to stab Bush"..Julia said she doesn't remember the exact name because she changed it soon after.
After an eight-grade history lesson in which she learned that threatening the president is against the law, Julia said she changed the group name to "So Bush is an idiot but hey what else is new."
The group is composed of other teenagers who share her political views.She deleted the group page over the summer when she decided that MYSpace was juvenile and taking up to much time..Her parents said they had no idea what their daughter had posted online.
Representives of ACLU of Northern California said that Julia's post didn't sound like a 'true threat' to the President, making it a political speech protected by the First Amendment.A member of the First Amendement Coalition said that in the current political climate 'the threashold that brings agents in has gotten lower.'...no shit sherlock.
Well...well ...well..so they can't find Ossama Ben Buttfuck but they can track a 14-year old down in Sacramento,Calif.and scare the crap out of her for her MYSpace post..which isn't even up any more...she deleted it over the summer..and they are just now finding her?..fuckme...
Regardless....it's a sad shape of our country when the smartest person around is a teenage girl...like she said.."so Bush is an idiot, hey...what else is new?".....

1994..THE STARS AT NIGHT..ARE BIG AND BRIGHT..DEEP IN THE HEART OF WEST, TEXAS

My time in San Francisco was running out and all the stores were closing up I Finally had hired some trust worthy people and got to see the 2 places I wanted to see..Haight/Ashbury and Chinatown.I had been in the Haight/Ashbury area back in 1969. I had heard my friend 'dirty ron' was staying on Haight and Cole, so I stood on the corner and yelled'dirty ron...wake the fuck up'...after about 5 minutes he stuck his head out of a window and said'sonofabitch, you're like the fucking F.B.I. you can find anybody anywhere'...Judas Priest, people were screaming "F.B.I. and running down the street.That was fun.
I spent most of my free time in Chinatown where I spent most of my money..buying stuff for the granddaughters..I loved it there..
Finally it was time to go...mj was going back with me but was coming back ...I kept thinking she would change her mind..she was just 20 years old..what 20 year old wants to move by herself 1,300 miles away from all her family... but when you have a family like ours...ha..it was just always her dream to live there and now that she had friends and a job(tending bar...not 21 but they didn't know that)so she was going to say hi,bye and then head back to San Francisco.We left and I was going to go down highway 1 so she could see the coast and the ocean...but it was raining really hard and I thought .nah...our luck there will be mudslides, and there were..we lucked out again..But all the way across the country we were like 300 miles in front of a snowstorm...we pulled into D's drive way(our heater had gone out about 500 miles back)when the sleet hit..the snow hit about 2 hours later..not bad but we saw pictures of the snow we left in our wake..which reminds me ..the earthquake wasn't in 1993, it was Jan. of 1994...
Since I didn't have a house anymore, I stayed with D.and his family..got to spend time with N.and the new baby H.which was wonderful..It took awhile before I got to see Jenny and Jamie as Thom and K had gotten a divorce and that was my punishment,finally got that straightened out and got to see and be with all the girls..My first order of business was to bury Bill..these wonderful people at the Dog Hospital kept Bill in a freezer till I could come back and bury him..he is in a pet cememtary in Bellmead and I go see him when I can..
My second order of business was to find a place to live..and had already decided to move to West.No one was crazy about me moving there..but that is what I wanted..found a little house about 1 1/2 blocks from our swimming pool..which the girls loved when they came to spend the week end with me..I had gotten a severence pay from company as I didn't want to move to New Jersey, which was their next great idea...so we parted ways..My kids didn't want me away from home again...so I went to work at Community Grocery store to keep me out of trouble till I found a real job..So..life is good..I'm home in West, Texas..my granddaughters visit me all the time...(think it was the pool)and I have one of my dogs(Honey) and my two cats..Chuck and Al..no more pan handlers, no more icy wind off the bay, no more working from 8am to midnight..but plenty of kolaches and people waving at me ..even if they didn't know who I was...I was home.
World events were a tad exciting this year..Nancy Kerrigan was attacked and later found out to be fellow skater
