don’t be like this dude

phone memo to myself - October 2004

Get a life, too, by the way. You’re sitting at home alone in your apartment doing nothin’. You’re such a loser! Get out and do something, you moron.

retirement from the U.S. Navy - August 2004

After spending 20 years in the U. S. Navy Reserves, I retired as a Commander. They let me make a speech.

introspection with no progress - 1995

It’s a gift I have… I don’t have these burdens that prevent me from stepping outside myself and looking at all the crap that’s going on around here. 

after the Village Brewery - 1995

Everyone’s married and stuff and I’m bored with a lot of stuff. We’ll see what happens in China.

tryna talk like a Cajun for a play I’m in - 1993

I portrayed a character named Pee Wee in a play for a (pretty damn professional!) theater group. I did my best to do a Cajun accent, but I sucked. 

more babble, same night - June-12, 1992

Some idiot came up with this system that everyone has to work hard to make money so they can get things. There’s deep thoughts hiding just beneath the babble.

long ramble, long night - June 12, 1992

I’m not tryin’ to impress the literati, you know. Who the hell wants to impress them? I’ve always wanted to make a point and I’ve never had one.

Saturday night at Curtains theater-1992

This is definitely not “Krapp’s Last Tape.” It’s more like my lamest tape. I’m bitter; I’m bitter… I’m old and tired and bitter. I’m probably just gonna die.
